Hello welding guru's!
I'm (hopefully) going to begin a 50 hour course at a local college for arc welding, in hope of a certificate levels 1 & 2 (Meaning i can produce a weld of a british standard, spot inconsistancies and bad parts of welds and possibly correct them, also learning safety and show knowledge of what power settings to use with what rods and metal thickness's etc)
I'm not too sure if a vertical up weld would be included in this course, i would like to begin practice for this, but problem is, I've heard 7018's are best, but i have a pack of lincoln conarc 49c lo-hi's and they hate AC 50v.... All i have is 6013's 2.5 and 3.2's....will these be to slow freezing to use?
I know 7018's are quick freezing and i've baked my lo hi's into oblivion hoping that moisture is causing the problems, but its more to to with lack of DC and low ocv..
