WELD PROCESS = SMAW, SHIELDED METAL ARC WELDING, STICK WELDING
METAL TYPE = CARBON STEEL A36
THICKNESS = ONE INCH TO 1/4" WALL 2" PIPE
WELD TYPE = ROOT PASS
JOINT TYPE = TUBE TO PLATE
POSITION = HORIZONTAL ON BENCH
AMPS = 100 AMPS
POLARITY = DCEP
ELECTRODE = 6011 1/8""
ADDITIONAL SETTINGS =
TIPS: DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS ELECTRODES REQUIRE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT AMPERAGE SETTINGS. A SUCCESSFUL DEMONSTRATION DISPLAYING AMPERAGE SHOULD GET YOU IN THE BALL PARK. TWEAK AMPS FROM THAT POINT AND ADJUST ARC CONTROL TO FIT THE SITUATION
6011 electrodes are especially useful to have around because of the ability to weld all positions and all polarities. AC, DCEN, DCEP all work well with 6011.
And downhill welding works well too.
