What am I doing right/wrong
I am a way-out-of-practice hobbyist welder and I am trying to weld two 10” pieces of sucker rod together for a project. I am using an HF MIG 170 on 240v with it set to 200 for the wire speed/17v/6 for inductance using 0.30 E71T-GS flux core wire. What am I doing right/wrong? For the record, these will be taking force lengthwise when the project is completed, so my main concern is keeping them together in a bundle along with several others.
