• Maintaining a proper welding procedure - including pre-heat and interpass temperatures - may be critical
depending on the type and thickness of steel being welded.
• See Above: This information was determined by welding using 100% Carbon Dioxide (CO2) shielding gas with a
flow rate between 35-50 cfh (17-24 l/min).
