POSITION = 2F HORIZONTAL
AMPERAGE = MACHINE SET TO 140 AMPS CONTROLLED WITH PEDAL BUT MAXED OUT SOMETIMES
TUNGSTEN = 2% LANTHANATED, 3/32"
FILLER WIRE = 1/16” ER70S6
POLARITY = DCEN
GAS FLOW = 20 CFH argon
CUP SIZE = 8
ADDITIONAL SETTINGS = PRE FLOW = .5 SECPOST 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.
IF tip of rod gets oxidized, snip before restart
