Typical all weld metal. (2)Measured with 0.2% offset. (3)See test results disclaimer on pg. 18. (4)Copper due to any coating on the electrode plus the copper content of the filler metal itself, shall not exceed the stated 0.50% max. (5)CTWD (Contact Tip to Work Distance).
Subtract 1/4 in (6.4 mm) to calculate Electrical Stickout. (6)Procedures in the shaded areas are procedures for short circuiting mode using 75% Argon, 25% CO2. NOTE: For 100% CO2 procedures, add 1 to 2 volts for short circuit transfer and 2 to 3 volts for globular transfer.
