STICK WELDING CARBON STEEL 1/4" THICK 3F TEE 1/8" 7018 WEAVE

For Structural Welding done to code specifications like AWS D1.1 , stringer beads are often required. But certain jobs still allow for weaving and this 3f vertical tee joint is also a good way to practice for pipe.

TIPS:SET THE AMPERAGE HOT ENOUGH TO NOT STICK THE ROD WHEN YOU HOLD A TIGHT ARC…THEN HOLD A TIGHT ARC.

DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS ELECTRODES REQUIRE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT AMPERAGE SETTINGS.ANY SUCCESSFUL DEMONSTRATION DISPLAYING AMPERAGE SHOULD GET YOU IN THE BALL PARK.

TWEAK AMPS FROM THAT POINT AND ADJUST ARC CONTROL TO FIT THE SITUATION
