    Abimig AT 455 FAQs

    Straight answers to common questions about choosing, setting up and looking after a heavy-duty water-cooled MIG torch with interchangeable necks.

    When do I need a water-cooled MIG torch rather than an air-cooled one?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    A water-cooled torch has a coolant circuit running through the handle, neck and cable, which carries heat away from the torch. That lets it handle higher currents and longer arc-on times than a similar-sized air-cooled torch, so it is the usual choice for heavy fabrication, thick material and production welding.

    The trade-off is that it needs a matching water cooler, coolant hoses and a little more routine checking. If your welding is mostly short runs at moderate current, a simpler air-cooled torch is normally enough. Check the maker's current and duty cycle ratings against the work you actually do.

    How do I choose the right neck angle and length?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    The neck is the curved tube at the front of the torch. A bent neck helps you reach into corners and keep a comfortable angle to the joint, while a straighter neck suits open, flat work. Common angles run from fairly shallow to quite steep, and a longer neck gives extra reach into restricted joints.

    Comfort matters too. The handle shape and your own height can make one angle feel better than another, so a moderate angle is a sensible starting point. Choose the neck that lets you hold the torch at the right angle to the joint without twisting your wrist.

    Which parts of the torch wear out, and when should I replace them?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    The contact tip, gas diffuser and nozzle take the heat and the spatter, so they wear first. A contact tip whose hole has worn oval, or is the wrong size for the wire, causes erratic feeding and the wire burning back into the tip. Spatter building up inside the nozzle upsets the gas shield.

    There is no fixed interval, because wear depends on current, arc-on time, wire and joint. Replace the tip when the arc or the wire feed becomes unstable, clean or replace the nozzle when spatter builds up, and check that the tip, diffuser and nozzle are still tight, as they can loosen with heat.

    Why is my wire feeding badly, and could the liner be the cause?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Poor feeding is very often down to the liner. A liner that has been trimmed too long or too short, is clogged with dirt and swarf, or is the wrong size for the wire can cause chattering feed, a ragged arc, burn-back and the wire tangling at the drive rolls (bird-nesting).

    When fitting a new liner, follow the maker's instructions on trimming it to length, ideally with the cable laid out straight, and use the right size for your wire. Also check the contact tip size and wear, the drive roll pressure and any sharp bends in the cable before blaming the wire itself.
