Mig Welding - Short Arc - pushing vs pulling vs Spray Transfer

http://www.weldingtipsandtricks.com/how-to-mig.html
Mig welding using short circuit transfer can handle sheet metal thickness all the way up to the beefy thick metal if done right. But for the really thick stuff, Spray transfer can be the ticket. 90/10 argon/co2 gas allows for spray transfer if you are using .035" er70s6 wire at about 25 volts and 350 ipm inches per minute of wire feed speed. Its hot...Its fast....and it really needs a heavy duty mig welding machine.

You can explain yourself alot better than you showing us. i'm not impressed with your welds what so ever brotha. other than that, video was good.

@MrLynchmade thanks, that was very helpful.

@MrLynchmade Lets see your welds, Brotha?

@MrLynchmade i disagree with you 100% i thought this video was fucking great.

Fuck. RIP headphone users.

@TheFrhen

Meaning the number on the welder may not be the actual wire feed speed. So every welder may be a bit different as far as settings.

miller 211 autoset w/ mvp, real nice

@jvwelder28 Yea mann! We're running an Esab setup too at work. Only the MIG 4002, solid .045 wire, 90 10. What are your favorite setting for 7ga & 1/4"? We do horizontal and downhill.

@shawnwright111 You should almost always spray when you can(most of the time) My shop almost never short arcs. But the first and formost you should know is you are mistaking your amps for Volts. You are probably using a welder that you cant adjust Amps by itself. You adjust amps by adjusting your wire. This contrary to popular belief is your heat. Your wire speed is the most important setting on your machine. If you burn through it is because of wire not Volts. Volts is for appearance
