We're doing some procedure development on 2003 duplex stainless with 2209 wire. Shielding gas is 92 Ar - 3 He - 2 N per manufacture recommendation. We're doing plate tests right now, 1/8" and 5/16" and we're seeing the root goes in clean, but when we go to fill out the joint, there are tiny little sparks the shoot from the pool. As the joint is filled, the more the sparks happen. Interpass cleaning is stainless wire brush. I and one other guy I talked to have seen similar stuff on hot wire GTA of 625 but it was very intermittent. Any thoughts on what causes this?
