so I bought a pack of 1718, but when I welded the slag was frankly difficult to get of. but it was thick tho. what could be the reason for this? hotrolled or unclean surface?
I tried welding on AC and then the slag came off much easier. but I didn't feel it penetrated the same.
the small weld is AC flat with 120 amp and the t joint is 115 with DC. I would love for the slag to come off with some easy raking. I've welded mostly only with 7025 and 7016, and I don't like the 16s so hoped for some more smuth beads with the 17s
