Hi all,
Recently while trying to get the hang of welding vertically (and making a reet mess of it) I tried the following
Putting the rod at the top of the joint, angling the rod quite steep in the direction of travel and using the rods flux just kind of press the rod into the joint.
This leaves a very thin layer of slag on the weld and a very nice weld underneath.
Could someone explain why this technique isn't used and why please?
Rod 2.5 6013, 80amps. vertical t joint on mild steel offcuts about 3-4mm thick.
Thanks Pete.
Thanka
