Welding Tips
OXYACETYLENE WELDING
Filler Metal: Use a mild steel filler, 3⁄32" diameter, free of rust. (American Welding Society classification A5.2)
DO NOT use copper coated filler metal.
Welding Equipment: Use a number 3 or 4 tip. Observe instructions of the equipment manufacturer when adjusting the operating pressures at the gas regulators.
Procedure: Clean the parts to be welded thoroughly. Incline the torch at a 45° angle away from the direction of travel. Use the forehand welding technique. Keep the torch flame on the tip of the filler rod, not in the center of the puddle.
