I need to weld some butt and fillet joints in steel varying from 13-15mm.
I only have a parweld xti 160 to do it with, but I do have a dedicated 16 amp supply so I can burn 4mm rods if needs be. duty cyle isn't a worry, it takes as long as it takes, the most important thing here is strength. it is going to be for a 12 ton press so I need to know that the welds are going to hold.
so obviously a lot of weld prep, full penetration and multi pass welds all round
but what rod is best? 6013, 7018, 6010 (or 11 cant remember if one is ac only?)
3.2mm or 4.0mm?
