Pulsed Arc

plate about 2/3mm thickness must be welded with circular section 8 mm diameter

Material is Zincanneal G2s

What is ASTM?

Thanks

RE: How to weld Zincalloy?

Pulsed arc is "spray". Zincanneal is a brand name-need a material spec. or chemical make-up. That is what ASTM is for
(US Spec). You may need to contact the material manuf.,ask for the ASTM spec.

Be prepared to qualify a weld procedure to do this properly.
