On hard deposits expect a network of shrinkage cracks, on working overlays that is normal, but it must not reach the parent material. Check the contact tip, a worn bore upsets the wire feed and causes burnback. Match the drive rolls to the wire diameter and check the liner, wire slip shows up at once in an unstable arc. Previously sold as UTP A DUR 350.
