 The parent metal surface must be clean and as flat as possible to ensure maximum weld strength of the Vidabutton. On low alloy surfaces, use E7016 or E7018 rod, or E70T-5 wire. On manganese surfaces, use E309-16 stainless steel rod. |
 |
Do not preheat the Vidabutton. For best results the Vidabutton should be clamped and tack welded into position prior to welding. Continuous welding should not be used. A maximum run length of 2.0" to 2.75" (50-70 mm) should be used to minimize heat input. The following preheat instructions refer to the heating of the parent surface only. |
 |
Working in temperatures at or below 40°F (5°C), preheat to
350-400° F (175-205°C). Do not preheat if welding on manganese
surfaces. Recommended fillet sizes: VID75 - 11/32" (8MM) VID90 - 3/8" (9mm) VID115 - 3/8" (9mm) VID150 - 1/2" (12mm) Ensure welding does not come closer than 1/16" (2mm) from the joint line between the casting and the backing plate. |
