Welding Guidelines
For optimal results, please follow these standard practices:
-
Cleanliness: Ensure the workpiece and the welding wire are free from oil, moisture, and heavy oxide films before welding.
-
Backing: During welding, a backing plate can be used to support the molten metal, ensuring proper weld formation and penetration.
-
Shielding Gas: Use 100% Argon or Argon-Helium mixtures for GMAW (MIG) and GTAW (TIG) processes.
-
Storage: Store the wire in a clean, dry environment to prevent contamination.
