Short Circuit Mig uphill requires some manipulation to prevent the bead from being excessively convex or mounded up.

The 3 main things to focus on are:

  1. Voltage and Wire speed settings that are balanced and hot enough to hit the root ( in this case 18.5 volts and 280ipm)
  2. Maintain a short stickout (contact tip to work distance) 
  3. use a technique that plays the arc on the leading edge of the puddle

19.5 VOLTS 280 IPM .035”
WELD PROCESS = GMAW, SHORT CIRCUIT MIG, GAS METAL ARC, BARE WIRE MIG

METAL TYPE = CARBON STEEL, COLD ROLLED STEEL, AISI 1010

THICKNESS = 1/4"

WELD TYPE = Fillet weld

JOINT TYPE = TEE JOINT

POSITION = 3f vertical uphill

VOLTS = 19.5 volts

WIRE SPEED = 280 IPM

WIRE SIZE = .035"

POLARITY = DCEP

GAS FLOW = 20-25 CFH C25 GAS

CTWD  = 3/8”-1/2"

FILLER METAL = ER70S6 .035"

ADDITIONAL SETTINGS = 

TIPS:A relatively short stickout aka contact to work distance CTWD of 3/8” to 1/2" makes a big difference.The technique shown is simple series of upside down V motionsThis technique traces the front leading edge of the puddle and helps ensure penetration.
