Thread: Red Welding Arc

  1. #1

    Red Welding Arc

    When stick welding, 1/8'' or less rod, the arc is bright red.
    I've done quite a bit of welding years ago but I'm thinking it was always a blue arc.
    The weld is decent. It's a 250 amp AC/DC machine. Red arc in all polarities.
    Any thoughts?
    Thank's,
    Angelo

    What brand and type of rod? Are you welding outside or inside a building or shop?

    Mine looks green. Mainly because of the shade on the lens of my mask.

    Check the color of your lens... Look at a light bulb...
