Typical all weld metal. (2) Measured with 0.2% offset. (3) See test results disclaimer on pg. 18. (4) For greater percentage of CO2 shielding gas, increase voltage by 1-2 volts. (5) To estimate ESO, subtract 3/16 in. (4.8 mm) from CTWD.
NOTE: Consult steel manufacturers recommendations regarding minimum and maximum pre-heat temperature, interpass temperature, and heat input.
