Re: Welding beginner...7018
Ok. I was under the impression that a rod had to have ac after the number like 7018ac to run alternating current. Like I said earlier, I learned bare basics when i got the machine (which i love). This is why I joined this forum, to learn more.

Re: Welding beginner...7018
Yeah, I'm still not fully up to date on all the acronyms, but I have been using DCEN. I did follow your advice and switch to DCEP and the weld seemed a lot easier to work. Thank you. Would the same senario be the case on a 6011 rod? (I know, I need a reference book). I have been doing well with the ...

Welding beginner...7018
Hi everyone. Newbie here. I was taught minimal basics on stick welding and with a little practice, made some good welds (flux curling up on the end) with a 6013 3/32 rod, using a Lincoln 220 AC/DC Buzzbox. I am welding on DC negative polarity around 90 amps. When I switch to a 7018 1/8 inch, the wel...
