admin

In which cases stringer techniques is preferred and in which cases weaving techniques are preferred???Which is better stringer or weaving for flat and overhead fillet welding???Please suggest or provide me the literature about "effect of stringer and weaving techniques on weld quality in different position" or "In which position which technique is better???"
Reply:If looking for actual manufacturers data concerning stringer vs weave you will find very little inference to a weave (other than vertical up/down).http://www.esabna.com/euweb/mig_handbook/592mig7_1.htmhttp://www.lincolnelectric.com/asset...L-56/c4200.pdfIf you are looking for opinion, then there  are limitless discussions. The internet abounds with 'when and when not to'.Here one I consider a discussion of value from another board in days gone bye. This board has numerous discussions as well. http://www.hobartwelders.com/weldtal...hp/t-6195.htmlOr just pick any one from a search. http://weldertraining.org/index.php/...e-or-stringer/Bottom line you do what ya need to do, read the puddle."The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first, the love of soft living and the get rich quick theory of life." -Theodore Roosevelt
Reply:One thing to keep in mind is a weave will put more heat into the joint, which can melt through thinner materials or cause distortion. You have to consider how thick the material is that you're welding on.Amanda
