PUSH VS PULL TECHNIQUE
The type and thickness of the work piece
dictates which way to point the gun
nozzle. For thin materials (18 gauge and
up), the nozzle should point out in front
of the weld puddle and
push
the puddle
across the workpiece. For thicker steel,
the nozzle should point into the puddle
to increase weld penetration. This is
called backhand or
pull
technique (See
Figure 11).
