5.0 WELDING HINTS

5.1 Aluminum Welding

Select a voltage setting approximately half way through the low range of your machine. Set the wire
feed speed to approx. 10.
Remove oxide coating from weldments with a stainless steel wire brush. Initiate arc and lift the torch
nozzle away from the weld pool until the nozzle/ weld distance is 12-15 times the diameter of the wire
(e.g. 11-14mm for 0.9mm wire).
Direction of travel should be from right to left by pushing the gun.
ALWAYS TEST SETTINGS ON A SCRAP PIECE OF MATERIAL FIRST

5.2 Stainless Steel Welding

Always use a clearances size liner (e.g. 1.0mm liner for 0.8mm wire). Voltage and wire feed settings
will be similar to those used for welding mild steel. However the different gas will increase the arc
temperature. Ensure when welding that the torch nozzle is lifted away from the weld pool until the
nozzle/weld pool distance is 12-15 times the diameter of the wire. A clearance size contact tip may
be necessary in some situations of high torch heat. (e.g., 0.9Amm tip for 0.9mm wire, or 1.2Amm tip
for 1.2mm wire).
