Recommended Settings
Use Reverse Polarity (DCEP)
Recommended Settings:
.045 Diameter – 15-26 volts, 100-250 amps, 3/4″ – 1″ stick out
1/16 Diameter – 26-30 volts, 150-380 amps, 1″ – 1-1/2″stick out
Best Practices
Proven applications include hardfacing crusher rolls and liners, breaker bars, bucket teeth, hammer mill hammers, pump impeller and liners.
We recommend Gemini Anti-Spatter spray for lasting protection of your contact tip and MIG nozzle (see chemical aids in Abrasives & Metal Working products section).
