Recommended welding data

MIG welding

Electrode positive is used to give good penetration in all types of welded joint. The following table shows common conditions for MIG welding.

Sandvik can provide recommendations for shielding gases.

Short-arc welding is used with light gauge material of less than about 3 mm, in depositing root runs, and in welding out-of-flat positions.

The higher the inductance in short-arc welding, the higher the fluidity of the molten pool.

Spray-arc welding is normally used for heavier gauge material.

TIG welding

The parameters for TIG welding depend largely upon the base metal thickness and the welding application.

Electrode negative and a shielding gas of argon or helium should be used to prevent oxidation of the weld metal.

Submerged-arc welding

Electrode positive is suggested for joint welding to give good penetration.

Wire diameter Current Voltage
mm A V
2.0 200-350 28-32
2.4 250-450 28-32
3.2 300-500 29-34
4.0 400-600 30-35

Recommended welding flux is Sandvik 15W.
