They look the same as the gas rods, but gas rods have very few alloys in them. You can not do a decent steel weld with rods made for gas welding.

Distance to the work should be quite short -- on the order of 2 to 4 mm, I would say.

If you are getting a buildup of small discrete balls of metal one possibility is that you are overcooking your weld pool. The arc and the; /html/shop-talk/2000-07/msg00089.html (9,323 bytes)
