Notes, Technique or Codes rules: -Transfer Mode: Spray -For low or high temp., corrosive or any critical applications always confirm wire choice with manufacturer. -Shielding gases shall conform to AWS A5.32/A5.32M -For similar metal joints, use filler metal of matching composition, (e.g.: weld 304L with 308L wire), (316 with 316, and 316L with 316L wire). -Dissimilar joining, use the lower alloyed of the two base metals, (e.g. use 308 to join 304 to 316). -If both metals are low carbon (3XXL), then use 3XXL filler metal as well. -Maximum thickness of layer is 5 mm (3/16) for root pass and 6 mm (1/4) for subsequent layers. -The minimum size of a root pass shall be sufficient to prevent cracking.
