Howdy everyone, I'm new to this hole forum thing and notand em trying to get the hang of it. I'm a technically sound welder but lack the fundamentals. I work with a lot of 2 and 3/8" drill stem. I always used to run a wire welder on it but the outfit I work for now only has a small wire welder that can't handle the prologue use. So I em on the stick welder witch I em fine with but I em running in to issues. Such as what electrodes are best for this kind of pipe? I em also having issues with magnetized pipe. Sometimes everything welds great but sometimes I have a hard time getting a good weld to form, it's like the material won't be fuse together. Anyway if anyone has any advice or tips it would be much appreciated. Thank you.
