• Maintaining a proper welding procedure - including pre-heat and interpass temperatures - may be critical depending on the type and thickness of steel being welded.
CONFORMANCES AND APPROVALS
• AWS A5.1, E6013
• ASME SFA 5.1, F-2, A-1
• ABS, E6013
• CWB, E4313
RECONDITIONING
250° to 300°F, (121° to 149°C) for one hour @ temperature
FLAT
VERTICAL-UP
VERTICAL-DOWN
OVERHEAD
Angle electrodes 10-15° from 90° with higher heat than E6011 electrodes
Reduce amperage from flat position
 Use higher amperage and faster travel, staying ahead of puddle
Use slight whipping motion; multi-pass for build-up
