Important Usage Guidelines

1. Shielding Gas Requirements

• Use CO₂ purity of 99.98% or higher to ensure weld integrity and prevent porosity.

• Maintain gas flow rate at ≥20 L/min for 1.2mm and 1.6mm wire diameters.

• Ensure proper gas coverage throughout the welding process to maintain protective atmosphere integrity.

2. Environmental Conditions

• Provide adequate wind shielding around welding areas using temporary barriers or permanent enclosures.

• Avoid outdoor welding in windy conditions unless proper windbreaks are established.

• Monitor ambient conditions to prevent gas disruption that could lead to weld defects.

3. Surface Preparation

• Thoroughly remove all oil, grease, moisture, and surface contaminants using appropriate solvents.

• Implement mechanical cleaning methods where necessary to ensure perfectly clean welding surfaces.

• Verify surface cleanliness immediately before initiating welding operations.
