Welding Instruction

1. Clean the surface of the base metal before welding.
2. It is difficult for welding in V & O-H positions, so F welding is recommended.
3. Baking temperature should be between 350~400°C during 30~60 minutes before welding. No PWHT is required for base metal.
4. To avoid weave arc, make a short arc in low current.
