Suitable for welding of mild steels and 490Mpa high tensile steels. It is characterized by excellent welding performance when applied to all-position back welding.
Points for Attention
The purity of argon shielding gas must be above 99.997% and gas flow must be properly controlled. When welded under the operating current of 100~200Amp, the gas flow is supposed to be at about 7~12L/min; under the operating current of 200~300Amp the gas flow shoule be controlled at 12~15L/min.
During welding appropriate windproof measures must be taken, otherwise shielding gas will be easily exposed to wind so that weld bead will worsen, giving rise to gas porosity.
Choose a suitable gas-collecting porcelain cup and properly control the electrode extension of tungsten electrode.
Rust layers, oil stain and dust must be fully removed from parent metal's surface.
