Typical all weld metal. (2)Measured with 0.2% offset. (3)See test results disclaimer on pg. 18. (4)CTWD (Contact Tip to Work Distance). Subtract 1/4 in (6.4 mm) to calculate Electrical Stickout.
Procedures in this area are for pulse MIG mode for welding in the vertical up and overhead welding positions. Actual results are dependent on joint, material thickness, as well as wave shape and pulse frequency.
