Hi
Welding overhead "into the top corner" PD/4F...
I was getting burned, and it was ejecvting a blob of metal to every
pulse.
So switched to "straight CV GMAW" and - lo-and-behold - no problem -
easy.
Smooth runs. Bit of crackle cleaning oxide had a fine misting not
worth calling spatter. Ran in well. Good everything.
Knew exactly where stood - wire-feed-speed and volts
Found conditions matched exactly the Lincoln Foundation / Lincoln
Electric recommendations.
A friend said it sounds like they are making everything more difficult
that it needs to be.
FWIW - 1.2mm (47thou) 5356 wire
Would you follow the Lincoln Foundation recommendation of 1.6mm /
1/16" wire for 6mm (1/4") and upwards plate?
Regards,
Rich S
