peeps,
Tomorrow I will be going into college for my C&G1 lesson this week, I have some guides given to me about parts of the welder and the meanings of basics such as angle of holding torch, gas flow rates, amperage's to roughly use for differing thickness and material types.
Theirs nothing really mentioned about pulse settings or up-slope/down-slope other then what they do, I'd like to know if anyone could pass me some rough ideas on the settings others are using.
Such as 1.2mm mild steel might use an up-slope of 1 sec and 2sec's down slope, using a grey tipped tungsten with mild steel filler wire.
Is this something that can be roughly guesstimated or more of a thing that's tested a few times on similar material before finding the better setting?
I'm going into college 30mins early so I can grab the Thermal Arc AC/DC 200 welder as I've found it allot more beginner friendly compared to the Lincoln AC/DC 350 'mean machine!'
Kind regards,
MP
