High-Deposition Welding
High deposition applications includes groove, fillet, lap and
corner welds in 3/16” and thicker plate welded with the work
level or slightly downhill. These joints are capable of holding a
large molten pool of weld metal as it freezes.
These welds are made with Jetweld electrodes because the high
iron powder content in the coating produces high deposit rates
to fill joints in the shortest time for economical welding.

Jetweld Operating T
echniques
Polarity and Current – Use AC for fast welding speeds, high
deposit rates, and good arc characteristics. DC can be used but
the resulting arc blow may complicate control of the molten
puddle.
Optimum current for most jobs is 5-10 amps above the center of
the electrodes range. Do not exceed the center of the range for
x-ray quality deposits.
Use a Drag Technique – Tip the electrode 10 to 30° in the direc-
tion of travel and make stringer beads. Weld with the electrode
end lightly dragging on the work to force the molten metal out
from under the electrode tip allowing adequate penetration. The
smooth welds look almost like automatic welds.
