90 amps is not very much. 240-250 amps is better as then you can weld just about anything.
A lot of the 90 amp units are rubbish. Try to get a name brand welder or if it is not a name brand unit try to get one that other people have said are pretty good. And get as many amps as you can afford to buy.
It was an okay weld, nothing pretty. Taking the mill scale off may have helped a little bit. No welders and sheet metal workers I know bother to do that. Fair enough if you are welding structural or pipe to code but general fab work not many people bother, just my observation.
I like those nerds candy... Anyway, you gotta get the wire feed speed set right. Maybe try swapping your leads around..... Could be a bad lot of mig welding wire. This is mixed gas argon +carbon dioxide.
@hoghunter4321 I agree with learnhowtoweld the most common cause of that spatter is that the wire speed is too high. This causes bits of wire to shoot off the weld, That's what those "nerds" are
@hoghunter4321 Have you tried spatter mask for starters? Second you will want to adjust your wire speed and volt setting accordingly with the thickness of metal you are using. Finally you will want to check the angle of your cone.
Well you could go welding in the mines here in Australia and earn say 130K, or do welding in a shop in town and earn say 36K a year. What do you call decent?
@learnhowtoweld 35k a year....im scared to get into the field and cant find work...i suppose to be taking some classes in 30 days and wanted to see how the job security was look
I just did my first MIG weld today. I am a sophomore and am taking a welding class all thru high school. I would say that MIG welding is the easiest type of welding. I havent tried TIG yet but it sounds complicated
@metaltera86 Nah it's not that complicated really. The basics are hold an arc and melt with your right hand and then dip in the filler rod with your left hand.
Can't believe some of the shit things people say here. Sad lives they must live being negative all the time.
I've just got into a bit of Mig welding and find your videos to be straight to the point and completely awesome. Has helped me to no end and I appreciate the time you've taken to put this together for us.
Please keep up the great work and AWESOME welding! Cheers.
your welding bead suck. u have undercut. wire setting various from shielding gas you use. Volt various from thickness of steel. short arc 17 volt to 21. Globulary high volt. low wfs. spray arc 25 volt and up. with high wfs. 84% argon up
@dll5050 lets leave homophobia out of youtube. This person probably isnt gay anyway, but if he was, that would have nothing to do with welding. If you are a skilled welder, please share your knowledge with us. Thanks to OP for sharing.
I would if I could, but that was ages ago and I can't remember. And my machine does not have a digital display etc. all you gotta do is set the main heat knob, then adjust the wire feed speed to suit. fast wire feed will build up the weld and make it cooler. This probably could have had less wire speed btw.

A weaving motion should be used. Even a slight one. Keep in mind you want to aim where you want penetration. And it gives a better ripple appearance. The fusion with no motion like this is deeper at the root than it is near the toes. A weave also distributes heat which avoids melt through and distortion. It depends on what strength you need. This will hold, but no where near the strength of a weld with a weave. Its funny how its called learn to weld and they dont show appropriate technique
I like to restore cars. I have alot of tools but i'v never welded! What would be a good start to welding for cars ? a mig welder ? there so many different ones..
@Spliff1230 No, a weaving motion is what everyone thinks is correct because everyone believes what they see on the internet. The strongest weld for this type of MIG weld is a straight weld with no weave. Weaving makes it look nice, but it's not as strong. And by the way, ALL weld fusion is deeper at the root than the toe - that's the way a weld works. If you've ever looked at your weld X-ray, you would know this.
What was shown in the video was factual and good for beginners which was the intended purpose. On the other hand allow me to show you how many factual inaccuracies that are in your message. Mind you I am leaving opinion out of this. Ripple appearance looking better is an opinion...with or witout a reasonable weave the bead will be smooth and resistant to long term cracking and fatigue..
@Spliff1230 Penetration to the joint is only measured between the two plates and less weave will focus the given amperage to get more penetration. There is not a measurable gain in "penetration" at the toes of a fillet weld. The toes of the bead are either fused or not and need an acceptable re-entrant angle which his did. Weave helping to prevent burn through on a joint without a gap means someone didn't know how to adjust their parameters reasonably and a bigger bead causes more distortion.

Well exhausts are very thin, so for a beginner it may be a bit harder than say 1/4 thick steel. But most exhaust shops use mig to weld the systems up anyway, with the exception of a few old timers who use the oxy torch to weld.

um thoes welds dont look that good im 17 and only been welding for a year and i can tell that weld isnt that great their is splatter and it doesnt even look that good? if u can prove me wrong tell me?
It's commonly not good to weld really long beads, at least not on high heat or thin metal because the metal will warp and your project will be compromised.
from memory the gas was right. maybe it was a different gas than what others use?
I dunno what it was at the time, but it was not C25. Most likely it was about 2%O2, 5%Co2 and the rest Ar. That red dusty stuff Is always there, If it is not there it usually is an indication that there is not enough gas.
I guess gas mix, wire type/brand and base metal all come into play.
Every welder has their signature weld style. Some prefer to "mig like tig" with the stacked dime look where others prefer the smooth weld so common with mig. I can tell in the shop who welded what by just looking at the welds.
I prefer the stacked dime look to a weld and to do that requires some practice. It also slows the welding process down a bit to get that perfect looking weld. But it is worth it if the weld will be showing. I prefer tig when the weld is to be showing but time is money.
Fist of all, thats 0.035" wire. 0.35" would be HUGE and burn a hole through your plates. 2nd, you can easily see that the plates were not properly cleaned before welding. That mill scale you rubbed off can and usually does create impurities in your bead. A good cleaning with a clean wire brush will help create a sound weldment. Also, there's a lot of spatter which could be corrected by traveling a hair faster. And there's no ripple to the bead. Not bad though, just not perfect either
@JTheGuitarPlayer what r u on about! speed of travel has nothing to do with the spatter if the job requires a 6mm fillet you travel faster than you would for an 8mm fillet. set your plant up correctly and you wont get spatter.
i have been welding farm equipment for 15 years usually 1/2 inch beads or bigger what this guy did was show you a method or version of mig welding he did fine stop busting his b@#####%%$%^&^!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
hey thats not realy mig welding. the motion you are using is for the flux core. how do i no this? well i currently enrolled into Bonds Welding. i am 16 years old and i can probably out weld u
@learnhowtoweld alll i gotta say is that pushing is most effective using spray transfer. if your going left to right you might as well pull anyways. but then again i guess its all about personal preferance.
@oscar22311 K how is this not MIG welding? its a gas metal arc welding as you can plainly see. And you think your so good at welding eh? welding takes years of practice to get the technique down, and if your so good like you say you are, go into the skills competition instead of commenting on this you tube video. this guy is just trying to give out some tips so why don't you fuck off.
@oscar22311 There isnt a flux core technique. I am a welder from GA and I weld flux core at least once a month. I use a mig machine literally every day. I like the push technique on thicker steel in mig it gives better penetration. As for flux core I use my own semicircle type pattern in a pull technique. If you wanna test your skills welding there mr.ocsar2311 how about you go get you some .063 aluminum and tig it without a filler rod.
Its funny Mr. oscar, you didn't need to tell us your age. With a comment like that we knew that you are very immature! Keep going to school then weld for 30 years and come back, then you can tell us what he has done wrong. Which by the way is nothing, it was a demonstration!!!! Great vid!
@sargent420 wish there had been you tube and mig welding demos 30 years ago when I tried retraining myself in a fabricator class but could not do it 'cause I was constantly getting stuck on my training material (stick welding) and gave up on it...
btw I think what is most important is that the gentlemen on the clip has a very encouraging voice to the beginner...
@oscar22311 you are a dip shit... One class and think you actually know something. Why dont you post a video of your boogered up welds and compare... I would also love to do a stress test on yours too, and will be willing to bet that you have zero penetration and would snap off with a rubber mallet.
you are stup**. This is a grea demostration of mig welding. If you're welding with flux core wire, you need to use pull technique. just like when you do the arc welding. Motion od arm (for example doing circles) depends on type of weld and welder. For corner weld with push technique you don't need any motion at all.
@oscar22311 Hey before you start posting comments thinking you know all about welding because you are taking welding at a vocational school let me tell you about welding. How do I know? because I am a Nuclear welder at Northrop Grumman. He is doing short arc mig welding, the method he does is fine for that it came out nice and there was no major discontinuities not to mention it seemed to penetrate well.
@oscar22311 As most inexperienced kids learning welding you got the attitude of thinking your the best and you know everything but let me tell you something. there is no exact method for doing it. Each welder once experienced enough learns their own way of doing it, by that I mean weaving methods and other things. how do I know? Because I'm a Nuclear welder at Northrop Grumman I weld Nuclear Submarines. There is nothing wrong with his method, it penetrated well and left no major discontinuities.

for the comment below about mig or arc welding to begin with. I agree with the fact that mig welding is easier, but i would challenge you to master arc weldling first. i have been welding for more than 20 years, learning to weld with arc when i began. it only came natural after that to weld with oxy/acetylene, mig, or anything else. there is alot of technique and skill that you must learn.it isnt just about sticking two pieces of metal together, it is about producing quality that will last!!
Mig is way, way easier. If it is just for the occasional DIY mig welding, get yourself a cheap mig wedler and use that. Again it's the age old saga, how much do you want to spend......
But it is always good to have both skills in using an arc welder and a mig welder..
@MattsMisc arc welding first. help you tackle the smaller wire a lot easier and it presents less challege with no flux to worry about. just my opinion after 31 yrs of welding
@MattsMisc arc welding first. help you tackle the smaller wire a lot easier and it presents less challege with no flux to worry about. just my opinion after 31 yrs of welding
@learnhowtoweld so its a good trade to get into ? cuz im gunna be going to a career center during school for 3 hours a day for welding and i think im gunna wanna become a welder when im older.
Here is what you need to hear and understand. Any trade is good to get into. Do an apprenticeship and then get passed as any tradesman and you will be set. Trust me on that, don't waste time. Plan you future so the you know where you want to be in 4 years time. After that you can start you own business.
Bein a 3rd yr apprentice boilermaker myself if you want to be in any sort of industry that involves welding, do anythin at school which involves it, such as ya metal work that will then show when you go for a job interveiw that you are interested in the metal fabrication side of things but from my personal point of view if you want to be a boilermaker make sure you get into the "heavy metal fabrication" part this is the highest of boilermaking and will get you just about anywhere.
I think it looks very proper for learning it to how it should work and be done.
It wasn't announced as "this a great professional welding" or something similar. I If you wanna be a perfectionist, then be so, but it doesn't need to be better than that IMHO.
sorry im a newb, i got a free peice of shit 70 amp wire feed welder it uses .035 flux core wire, whats the max thickness it can weld?it worked on thin bicycle frames for a pocketbike i made and is rock solid, but i tried on like 1/8" steel and you can just knock the weld off a hammer....
Yeah best to use 0.8mm gasless mig wire (0.030") simply because it is smaller. 70 amps is not very much at all. I think anything over 3mm (1/8") will be on its upper limits area.
may I suggest welding yourself up a small steel table so you don't have to weld on the floor, and have to clamp your work lead directly on the work piece. it might make your welds more consistant as well. If there is one thing I know about welding, it's that you gotta be as comfortable as possible.
soy soldador ,y basado en mi experiencia quiero recordarles que en cualquier proceso de soldadura es muy importante la especificacion que piden los planos en cuanto a depositos o cordones de desoldadura se refiere, .

You should start an 'apprenticeship' in English. It's also handy to know the spelling of the place you allegedly work for.

It's commonly not good to weld really long beads, at least not on high heat or thin metal because the metal will warp and your project will be compromised.

hey dude were you using gas, i tig weld and whenever my gas runs out it starts to show red liek what i see in ur weld the red shitty looking stuff.
i dont know if ur gas was too low or what
tqadir007 1 year ago
@tqadir007
from memory the gas was right. maybe it was a different gas than what others use?
I dunno what it was at the time, but it was not C25. Most likely it was about 2%O2, 5%Co2 and the rest Ar. That red dusty stuff Is always there, If it is not there it usually is an indication that there is not enough gas.
I guess gas mix, wire type/brand and base metal all come into play.

Every welder has their signature weld style. Some prefer to "mig like tig" with the stacked dime look where others prefer the smooth weld so common with mig. I can tell in the shop who welded what by just looking at the welds.
I prefer the stacked dime look to a weld and to do that requires some practice. It also slows the welding process down a bit to get that perfect looking weld. But it is worth it if the weld will be showing. I prefer tig when the weld is to be showing but time is money.

thanxx 1 year ago
Fist of all, thats 0.035" wire. 0.35" would be HUGE and burn a hole through your plates. 2nd, you can easily see that the plates were not properly cleaned before welding. That mill scale you rubbed off can and usually does create impurities in your bead. A good cleaning with a clean wire brush will help create a sound weldment. Also, there's a lot of spatter which could be corrected by traveling a hair faster. And there's no ripple to the bead. Not bad though, just not perfect either
JTheGuitarPlayer 1 year ago
@JTheGuitarPlayer
Yep I agree, yeah type on the wire size there.
Reality = no one doing general welding would clean off the mill scale.
yes could be faster and more constant travel speed as it was piled up a fair bit here and there.
learnhowtoweld 1 year ago
@JTheGuitarPlayer what do u mean by no ripple to the bead?
chughes44 1 year ago
@JTheGuitarPlayer what r u on about! speed of travel has nothing to do with the spatter if the job requires a 6mm fillet you travel faster than you would for an 8mm fillet. set your plant up correctly and you wont get spatter.

1.) It is mig welding, you will learn that at school, lol.
2.) I was only demonstrating the mig welding push technique.
3.) I never said this was a welding competition. just showing people some stuff.
learnhowtoweld 1 year ago 26
@learnhowtoweld alll i gotta say is that pushing is most effective using spray transfer. if your going left to right you might as well pull anyways. but then again i guess its all about personal preferance.
DLEWIS488 1 year ago
@oscar22311 K how is this not MIG welding? its a gas metal arc welding as you can plainly see. And you think your so good at welding eh? welding takes years of practice to get the technique down, and if your so good like you say you are, go into the skills competition instead of commenting on this you tube video. this guy is just trying to give out some tips so why don't you fuck off.
Ravenfellow 1 year ago
@oscar22311 There isnt a flux core technique. I am a welder from GA and I weld flux core at least once a month. I use a mig machine literally every day. I like the push technique on thicker steel in mig it gives better penetration. As for flux core I use my own semicircle type pattern in a pull technique. If you wanna test your skills welding there mr.ocsar2311 how about you go get you some .063 aluminum and tig it without a filler rod.

@oscar22311
you are stup**. This is a grea demostration of mig welding. If you're welding with flux core wire, you need to use pull technique. just like when you do the arc welding. Motion od arm (for example doing circles) depends on type of weld and welder. For corner weld with push technique you don't need any motion at all.

@oscar22311 Hey before you start posting comments thinking you know all about welding because you are taking welding at a vocational school let me tell you about welding. How do I know? because I am a Nuclear welder at Northrop Grumman. He is doing short arc mig welding, the method he does is fine for that it came out nice and there was no major discontinuities not to mention it seemed to penetrate well.
BioHazrd07 1 year ago 2
@oscar22311 As most inexperienced kids learning welding you got the attitude of thinking your the best and you know everything but let me tell you something. there is no exact method for doing it. Each welder once experienced enough learns their own way of doing it, by that I mean weaving methods and other things. how do I know? Because I'm a Nuclear welder at Northrop Grumman I weld Nuclear Submarines. There is nothing wrong with his method, it penetrated well and left no major discontinuities.

for the comment below about mig or arc welding to begin with. I agree with the fact that mig welding is easier, but i would challenge you to master arc weldling first. i have been welding for more than 20 years, learning to weld with arc when i began. it only came natural after that to weld with oxy/acetylene, mig, or anything else. there is alot of technique and skill that you must learn.it isnt just about sticking two pieces of metal together, it is about producing quality that will last!!

Mig is way, way easier. If it is just for the occasional DIY mig welding, get yourself a cheap mig wedler and use that. Again it's the age old saga, how much do you want to spend......
But it is always good to have both skills in using an arc welder and a mig welder..

Here is what you need to hear and understand. Any trade is good to get into. Do an apprenticeship and then get passed as any tradesman and you will be set. Trust me on that, don't waste time. Plan you future so the you know where you want to be in 4 years time. After that you can start you own business.

Bein a 3rd yr apprentice boilermaker myself if you want to be in any sort of industry that involves welding, do anythin at school which involves it, such as ya metal work that will then show when you go for a job interveiw that you are interested in the metal fabrication side of things but from my personal point of view if you want to be a boilermaker make sure you get into the "heavy metal fabrication" part this is the highest of boilermaking and will get you just about anywhere.

ninja6kid 2 years ago
Yeah best to use 0.8mm gasless mig wire (0.030") simply because it is smaller. 70 amps is not very much at all. I think anything over 3mm (1/8") will be on its upper limits area.
learnhowtoweld 2 years ago
did you use gmaw or fcaw? looks like no gas. I am supprised the heat did not bend the metal toward the weld bead. Thanks for the demo.

Gas, from memory I think it was 75/25 Ar/Co2

A machine that puts out the 250Amps mark will do a single fillet pass 10mm. Plenty of power for welding 6mm (1/4") plate.
175 amps will do 8mm fillet.

may I suggest welding yourself up a small steel table so you don't have to weld on the floor, and have to clamp your work lead directly on the work piece. it might make your welds more consistant as well. If there is one thing I know about welding, it's that you gotta be as comfortable as possible.
