@thanxx. That is the great about working for yourself. This was just a demo. Some of my larger pieces found me on my back, on my hands and knees or with one leg wrapped around the ladder. I know what you're saying and have the aches and pains to go with them. Thanks for posting and stop by when you can.

Horses for courses.sometimes you dont have the privilege of determine which way you weld a joint lol.sometimes i have to push sometimes i have to pull!Makes no difference whatsoever to me as long as the joint gets welded.On a daily basis i dont have the privilege of welding on a bench with the joint laid there 12" away from my hands.most of my welding takes place with me laid on my back!

@scottstrike10 Are you asking for a flow rate? 30 to 40 CFH (sorry. In US and we don't use metric for some stupid reason.) ESO can effect you amperage as well as poor shielding. Keep it between 10 to 15mm and should be ok. Look up the effects of Electrode Stick Out. U be suprised the effect it has. The more u know compared to the guy next to u will held get u noticed. Let your weld talk for you.

@weldhawk1 you seem like a guy who knows quite a bit.i myself put safety first and any good welder who cares for there own healty and safety always wear safety glasses.i mean if you dont care about your own safety your not going to care about the quality of your work.ive a question for you how many litres of gas should i use for 1.0 mm wire /wire speed 12m /approx 220 amps.i myself weld hydraulic cylinders for machinery.also what is the optimum distance from the nozzle to the work piece. thanks

budhaugh66 nailed it right on the head!

Thank you Kevin! This is indeed another enlightening demonstration!

@KurtisWM between 5 to 10% no very much if you have too much of an angle then you have porosity in the weld and that's a bad weld.

@budgaugh66 Thanks for posting. It's is always great to get a better idea.

From what I know, both tecqniques areused, depends on the weld application. A pull technique provides deeper penetration and narrower beads as shown on the video. Push technique is preferred for thinner metals because it doesnt penetrate as deep also makes wider beads and directs sheilding gas in front of puddle which is why alot of mig welders use push. |
