🔧 Welding Procedure & Best Practices
🔍 Surface Preparation
-
Clean the workpiece using solvents, sanding, or wire brushing.
-
Inspect for cracks or defects and grind them out.
-
Preheat as needed, especially for EN-8/EN-9 base metals.
🔥 Welding Technique
-
Use short arc technique for deeper penetration and better fusion.
-
Apply stringer beads for control, especially in vertical/overhead positions.
-
Build up in 2–3 layers, allowing cooling between passes to avoid distortion.
🧽 Finishing
-
Final weld surface can be machined or ground for better surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
