How to use it

Select material and thickness.

Choose wire type and wire diameter.

Select shielding gas and welding position.

Read the recommended ranges and run a short test bead.

Fine-tune in small steps until the bead profile and fusion are correct.

Best practice Always confirm on a scrap piece that matches your job material. Your machine, torch angle, travel speed, and joint fit-up will shift results.

Disclaimer: PWS calculators and settings apps provide estimating guidance and baseline starting values for planning and internal decision-making. They are not engineering designs, certified WPS procedures, or code compliance documents. You are responsible for verifying accuracy, safety, and suitability for your equipment, materials, job conditions, and local requirements before production work.
