This is 316 stainless, welded with Esab ok 63.20 E316-L
Electrode size is 2,5mm. I think its 3/32 at american standard
Dcep. You know we use hand remotes here, so I have absolutely no clue about the amperage.

Really I dont even care about it. When you watch that clip you notice those terminations of welds?
I turn my remote down there, my welding machine wont go below 10 amperage, so the arc burns still, but no molten metal is transformed anymore. I terminate my stainless welds this way always, so I dont get that nasty hole at the end of the weld. There is always a danger of leaving that hole on the root and then it wont pass x-ray. But when you slowly cool your the end of the weld with your arc, there wont be no hole.
