What is the important of correct current setting in the welding process


Sagot :

Answer:

Setting the amperage is one of the most important welding parameters to achieve different deposition rates and also penetration into the parent metal. As a general rule, any given consumable welding electrode will deliver a relatively constant deposition rate per amp of welding current.

Current setting

The correct current, or amperage, setting primarily depends on the diameter and type of electrode selected. For example, a 1/8-inch 6010 rod runs well from 75 to 125 amps, while a 5/32-inch 7018 rod welds at currents up to 220 amps. The side of the electrode box usually indicates operating ranges.
