For heavier sections and for repair work on castings, etc., it will be necessary to cut or grind an angle between the pieces being joined to ensure proper penetration of the weld metal and to produce sound joints.
  • Page 54 FIREPOWER TIG 200 AC/DC BASIC WELDING GUIDE Arc Welding Technique - A Word to Beginners For those who have not yet done any welding, the simplest way to commence is to run beads on a piece of scrap plate. Use mild steel plate about 1/4" (6.0mm) thick and a 1/8" (3.2mm) electrode. Clean any paint, loose scale or grease off the plate and set it firmly on the work bench so that welding can be carried out in the downhand position.
