Hoping for guidance
Ref:
HH-135
V-setting: 1
Wire Sp: 10
Wire solid .023
Gas: C25 mix
Day: Friday
Practicing on sheet metal. Three strips of 1x2"; 22 guage welded together. Flat position, butt seams and "beads on solid".
The first attached pix (I hope) shows the weld side. The second the back side. Lots of sag and some burn thru.
Hoping for some instruction on this. It seems very hard to control.
Some of the better looking beads were just on the base metal (not an actual seam) ... get the distance right, pull the trigger, and move quite fast. Good for practice, but if it were a real seam this could easly stray to one side or the other and leave gaps or weak spots
Wondering, if I turn up the wire speed, would I get a more "piled on top" and less sag thru ... or more heat and more burn thru.
all inputs welcomed ... except, I guess, you need a different welder.
