Caution
① The preheat temperatures vary in accordance with the size, kind and shape of the base metal. 150℃(302℉) is appropriate in general.
② Gradual cooling recommended after welding
③ Keep the weld metal length less than 50mm(2 inch) to disperse welding heat. Adopt back stepping stone or symmetry method by turns.
