steel can usually be easily welded without special pre- cautions. Some steels, however, contain higher car- bon levels or other alloys and are more difficult to weld. Basically, if a magnet sticks to the metal and if you can easily cut the metal with a file, chances are good that you will be able to weld the material with the SP-100. For further information on identifying various types of steels and other metals, and for proper proce- dures for welding them, we again suggest you pur- Penetratio

Vertical-Up and Overhead Welding protect the molten weld metal. For this reason, a con- tinuous even flow of shielding gas is needed to protect The problem, when welding vertical-up, is to put the the molten weld metal from atmospheric contaminan- molten metal where it is wanted and make it stay t's such as oxygen and nitrogen.
