Hi all,
I've got an upcoming butt weld procedure so I'm getting some practise in. I'll be working on 350x150x12mm S355J2 with a 60 degree vee prep, a 1-2mm root face and 2 mm root gap. I've been practising on some scrap at my workshop and I'm struggling to maintain the consistent penetration on the 1st pass. I tend to drop in and out of adequate penetration as I run the weld in. I know there are plenty of guys on here whom work to WPS so if anyone has any tips, tricks or advice to help me get through it would be much appreciated.
All the best
