ARC LENGTH

Average length (1/8” to 1/4”)

FLAT

Stay ahead of puddle and use slight whipping motion

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

Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP)

Dry at room temperature

Not recommended
