Processing Instructions

Preparation:

• Remove contaminants, cracks, and worn metal from the welding area. Bevel the joints with V-, U-, or X-profiles according to the thickness.

Preheating:

• Preheating depends on the carbon equivalent of the steel as well as the size, thickness, and geometry of the workpiece. Castolin Eutectic recommends:
  • CE < 0.2: Preheating not required.
  • CE 0.2 - 0.4: Preheating 100-200°C
  • CE 0.4 - 0.8: Preheating 200-350°C.
• Note that 12-14% Mn steels should never be preheated and that the workpiece temperature during welding should be kept below 250°C.

Welding:

• Current Type: = (+) [Electrode positive]
• Possible Welding Modes: Short-circuit transfer, axial spray arc welding, pulsed arc welding. To limit heat input, prefer welding in the air-pulsed arc mode. The interpass temperature should not exceed the preheating temperature.

Welding Parameters:

Wire Ø (mm) | Voltage (V) | Current (A) | Wire Feed (m/min)  |  Gas (l/min)
