For an outside corner joint on 11ga carbon steel, filler metal diameter could be as small as .045" and as large as 3/32".

1/16" diameter seemed like a good choice but

for this video and procedure, I used 3/32" er70s2 just to show amperage settings for a larger filler rod

WELD PROCESS = TIG, GTAW, GAS TUNGSTEN ARC WELDING

METAL TYPE = CARBON STEEL

THICKNESS = 11GA

WELD TYPE = Fillet weld

JOINT TYPE = CORNER JOINT

POSITION = 1f FLAT

AMPERAGE = MACHINE SET TO 115 AMPS  

TUNGSTEN = 2% LANTHANATED, 3/32"

POST FLOW = 7 SEC

TIPS: KEEP A TIGHT ARC

 Aim for an arc length that is equal or less than the diameter of your tungsten electrode.Torch angle can be forgiving provided your arc length is tight.Keep the hot tip of the filler wire shielded by the argon envelope from the tig cup
