I’m fed up cause my Hobart Handler 210 welds cracks on steel, Using 0.030-inch wire at 22V, and welds fails under pressure. any solutions?

Cracks comes from rapid cooling or poor prep, Preheat steel to 200°F to reduce stress, My Hobart Handler had cracking issues too, Use 25 CFH argon for coverage, Set wire speed to 240 ipm for even welds, Clean with acetone thorough, Use 7018 electrodes for strength, Ensure slow cooling with insulation blankets, Check joint fit-up, Verify gas flow consistency.

weld failure comes from dirty surfaces, Clean with alcohol thorough before welding, My Hobart welds strong now, Ensure proper joint prep.

Use insulation blankets for slow cooling, it helps.

Lower voltage to 20V to reduce cracks, My welds got better after adjusting, Check polarity.
