EXAMPLE OF A PROPER WELD
1.
Typically, three factors which most affect the quality of a weld are as follows:
(A)
The speed at which you advance along the weld.
(B)
The length of arc.
(C)
The rate of amperes at which you are welding. Adjusting one or more of
these three factors can help increase the quality of weld.
