Processing instructions
Clean the welding areas. Adjust the heat control during welding to the component, its material and dimensions, preheat solid workpieces to 150 – 250 °C. Weld with short, spray or pulsed arc, prefer pulse-arc technique. Plastic liner and contact tip are recommended for welding aluminium.
