TYPICAL CHARPY V-NOTCH IMPACT TEST RESULTS* (As Welded)

TYPICAL MECHANICAL PROPERTIES* (As Welded)

• Maintaining a proper welding procedure - including pre-heat and interpass temperatures - may be critical
depending on the type and thickness of steel being welded.
• For out of position welding, short circuit or pulsed spray transfer modes must be used.
• Pulse waveforms are designed with nominal operating points that may result in average voltage and current values
that differ from the above table. Generally, pulse processes can be expected to produce lower heat inputs than a
standard CV process.
