As per my opinion,
1. check the ferrite number of the base metal.
2.Select a consumable batch having a ferrite number such that the average ferrite number of the base metal and the consumable is with in the range what required for you. Normally after welding an average ferrite number will be in the weld.
3. Do a sample weld and check the ferrite number.
4. For the same manufacturer and brand name there will be slight variations in the ferrite number. So check the batch certificate and select a batch having a low ferrite number. Also do a small weld pad and check whether the ferrite number you are getting (Using your ferrite meter) is same as in batch certificate.
5. Also keep the heat input to the minimum possible and keep the cooling rate to the minimum possible.

Dear Mr Ankiti) The weld ment Ferrite to be checked after final Weld However the depth at which the ferrite to be checked depends upon spec requirementii) For to get Ferrite between 2-5 is very low hence generaly Nil Ferrite consumables are to be used (also Basic coated electrodes are being used) where you require to take extra precaution during welding to avoid Hot Crack(Shrinkage Crack)RegardsHegde P.B.From: Ankit PAtel <ankit.patel@orientalindia.net>ence
