Quick Reference
General Guidelines
- Thinner materials = lower WFS, shorter arc length
- 0.030" wire is versatile for 14ga to 1/4" steel
- Increase WFS 10-15% for vertical up welding
- Push angle 5-15 for better wetting
Material Notes
- Aluminum: Use 0.035" or 0.045" with 4043/5356 wire
- Stainless: Lower voltage, tighter arc, push technique
- Flux-cored: Can use 100% CO₂ or 75% Ar/25% CO₂
