Please do not bump the spam. Just report it and move on. -
Agreed. My wire stickout always shorter than some manual told me it should be. D sounds like too high of a voltage range, especially with FCAW. That's the highest one, right? 1/16" steel should maybe be a B. Feel free to hold position and let it fuse. If it builds up with no penetration,...Leave a comment:

I do not see the savings. What exactly is "big cost" to you, and how much do you think it will cost you in time/material to do it with a difficult process to learn? Are you already proficient at brazing copper and steel? Keep in mind that once you try to braze it, you will make it that...Leave a comment:

Help us help you. You didn't tell us what process you are doing, what wire you are using, and what settings you've tried, including the polarity. Pretend we are looking at your machine and watching you weld. Tell us what we are seeing. Pics are a bonus.
Get lots of light onto your work....Leave a comment:

Do the spot welds and keep up the practice. The "thin" material is exacerbated by working on two adjoining edges (butt joint). A lap or fillet joint allows you to focus on the non-edge piece and wash the heat into the edge at an easier pace. .023" wire may give you more flexibility,...Leave a comment:

So in your experience, what it the best one you've used for this application? Or did you just cut-and-paste mostly useless information to a 6-year old thread again for some weird purpose we haven't seen yet?...Leave a comment:

Yeah, a bit of breathing the fumes from welding (or heating) galvanized coatings can make you pretty sick. That said, I don't do anything special except hold my breath during welding galvanized stuff on occasion. If I needed to do a lot of it, I'd do something else. I grew up watching and helping my...Last edited by MAC702; 09-03-2023, 03:41 PM.Leave a comment:

How long until the sound change, and then is it consistent after that?Leave a comment:

It's purposeful spam and we're just bumping it even more..... Report (optional) and ignore.
Then again, this forum is dead because Miller/Hobart doesn't give a sh|t anymore, so it's not like we have anything else to talk about.Leave a comment:
