GRINDING PREPARATION:
Use a 60 Grit or finer aluminum
oxide wheel
EXTENSION INSTRUCTION:
STANDARD PARTS
General Purpose:
Flat:
1/4 to 1/2 x Diameter
Taper:
2 to 3 x Diameter
3 x Diameter from end of cup.
END PREPARATION:
DCSP (EN)
General Purpose:
Ball tip by arcing on clean metal
at low current DCRP (EP) then
slowly increase current to form
the desired ball diameter.
The included angle determines weld
bead shape and size. Generally,
as the included angle increases,
penetration increases and bead
width decreases.
Maximum extension:
6 x Diameter from end of cup.
(In draft - free areas)
Ball:
Maximum 1 x Diameter
Remove sharp point to leave a
truncated point with a flat spot.
Diameter of flat spot determines
amperage.
3 x Diameter from end of cup.
Shape tungsten by grinding
logitudinally, never radially.
