TYPE OF CURRENT

Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP)

RECOMMENDED WELDING TECHNIQUES

ARC LENGTH: Average length (1/8” to 1/4”)
FLAT: Stay ahead of puddle and use slight whipping motion
HORIZONTAL: Angle electrode slightly toward top plate
VERTICAL-UP: Slight whipping or weaving technique
VERTICAL-DOWN: Use higher amperage and faster travel, staying ahead of puddle
OVERHEAD: Use similar technique as for vertical-up, multi-pass for build-up
PIPE: Use downhill travel

STORAGE

Store at room temperature and keep away from heat source
