3.4. Pre-Use Inspection and Evaluation

Before selecting N46-VD, it is necessary to clearly determine the type of base steel, material thickness, structural form, and the mechanical property requirements of the weld to ensure the product is suitable for the actual application.
The material surface needs to be inspected and cleaned of elements such as rust, grease, paint, dirt, or impurities which can affect arc stability and weld quality.
Electrode diameter and welding current intensity should be selected appropriately for part thickness, welding position, and joint type. Too low a welding current can affect penetration, while too high a current can increase spatter or affect weld bead shape.
For structures with special technical requirements, it is necessary to further check design standards, WPS (Welding Procedure Specification), mechanical property requirements, weld inspection methods, and operating conditions before deciding to use.
