Notes, Technique or Codes rules:

-For low or high temp., corrosive or any critical applications always confirm wire choice with
manufacturer.
-F=Flat, H=Horizontal, V=Vertical, OH=Overhead
-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 6 mm (1/4) for root pass and for subsequent
layers are 3 mm (1/8) for F and 5 mm (3/16) for H, V and OH position.
-Always choose electrode size less than (T).
-The minimum size of a root pass shall be sufficient to prevent cracking.
-The groove in a joint may be reversed where more practical or necessary.

Notes, Technique or Codes rules:

-For low or high temp., corrosive or any critical applications always confirm wire choice with
manufacturer.
-F=Flat, H=Horizontal, V=Vertical, OH=Overhead
-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 6 mm (1/4) for root pass and for subsequent
layers are 3 mm (1/8) for F and 5 mm (3/16) for H, V and OH position.
-Always choose electrode size less than (T).
-The minimum size of a root pass shall be sufficient to prevent cracking.
-The groove in a joint may be reversed where more practical or necessary.
