Weld Time per Charge
*Tri-Mix: The specific mix of gases and their respective proportions will be determined by 1. The alloy and thickness of the
stainless steel being welded, and 2. The alloy and thickness of the stainless welding feed wire being used. Please consult
your welding gas distributor or an appropriate reference manual to determine the proper mixture for your application.
General Guidelines
1.
Stitch Mode Welding: When welding metal thinner than 1/8” with batteries as a power source, it is often necessary to use a stitch mode welding
procedure to avoid melting the metal being welded. Start by lowering the wire feed speed control to its lowest setting where the wire just begins to
feed. When you begin welding, a small bead will form and then the wire will melt back just enough to break the arc. The process will weld a series of
small beads with short breaks of time between them. This prevents heat from building up and melting through, known as globular transfer.
2.
Aluminum Welding: We recommend using a contact tip which is .005” bigger than the aluminum feed wire itself and pulling the nozzle about 3/8”
farther out to reduce burn-back.
