These Procedure Specifications are appropriate as of this publication. Procedures may be superceeded with new spec's at a later date.
Always process to the thinner material thickness (TMT)
All persons performing welding must be qualified to weld in all positions.
NOTE:
- Must remove Zinc Coating on both sides of metal at the weld zone.
- MIG Braze welding process requires use of Pulse Arc® or STT® welding machine.
- Must use Lincoln® product since E 71T-11 product differs from other suppliers.
