HELP I'm getting test tomarrow
Posted: Tue Jul 12, 2011 9:44 pm
Big problem on cert test for 3/8 v groove with 1/4 " backing bar in 2g horizontal position. Using 3/32 7018 on a Lincoln weld flex on #1 soft arc and 85-95a.
Problem is the slag is either floating on the top of the weld or bottom depending on the angle. The root is not tying into the top and bottom of the groove an getting good penetration in the backing bar.
My certification test is tomarrow starting at 7am so ANY help is greatfully appreciated.
