Welding Galvanized Steel With Stick. A good heat setting for 18 6011 rods on thin material is about 80-90 amps. Ad Find China Manufacturers Of Welding Wire.
Welding sheet metal with a stick welder is a bit more challenging especially when welding thin sheets of metal. The main reason for welding stick sticking to the parent metal is due to low amperage. That said all that is needed to weld galvanized steel like regular steel is to grind off the coating before welding.
The first is the melting point of pure zinc on the top which is around 420 C.
We just welded em. And we also welded a drain in the bottom. There are a few interesting things to note here. However proper surface preparation and selection of an appropriate adhesive can be used to achieve successful bonding to hot-dip galvanized steel.
