(1) 45 to 75º downhill position is recommended for easy welding and fast
speeds. Corner welds on 10 gauge steel can be welded 5-7 in./min. faster
when positioned 75 to 90º downhill rather than 45 to 75º downhill.
(2) For AC welding use:
a. E6011 in place of E6010 or E6013 in place of E6012
b. The same electrode diameters.
c. About 10% higher current.
d. The following arc speeds:
