I started off using 120 amps for the first stringer bead and then reduced amperage to 115 once the metal was warmed up. After a total of 6 passes, I did a cut and etch test to reveal the depth of penetration and internal quality of the multi-pass weld. Naval Jelly rust remover can be used for this test also but I used a solution designed for passivation and heat tint removal on stainless steel.
