Operating Instructions Welding Guidelines (Continued) ARC WELDING BASICS F our basic techniques affect weld quality . These ar e: amperage setting, weld angle, ar c length, and travel speed. P roper use of these techniques is necessary for good weld quality . AMPERAGE SETTING The correct amper age involves the adjustment of the welding machine to t[...]

TRA VEL SPEED The travel speed is the rate at which the electr ode is moved acr oss the weld area (S ee Figur e 4). When the speed is too fast, the bead is narro w and bead ripples are pointed as sho wn. When the speed is to slo w , the weld metal piles up and the bead is high and wide. T o control travel speed, watch the width of the weld bead (no[...]
