Select a nozzle to match the work to be done. Avoid overheating and adhesion of foreign matter 4. The following points are particularly important when welding mild steel plate. • Melt a sufficient amount of welding rod, but be careful not to melt the base metal. Use the • Use the correct amount of welding rod in accordance with the melting point of the base • Avoid welding over places which have been welded before. • In order to avoid warping, do only the amount of tack welding that is absolutely required.
