MIG welding

By ben
Notes

DCEP- Polarity is reversed. (direct current electrode positive, current comes out of the gun)

Closer you are, hotter it gets

As you weld, keep it steady with 2 hands

Power Settings:

Wire feed speed knob: a faster wire speed will require more amps to keep it melting

Voltage control knob: the thicker the metal, the more required voltage

Gas: 25 psi
Weave patterns: Welders use a variety of weave patterns. Some are better for certain types of
welding, certain metals and certain positions

Gun Angle: This is the angle of the gun in relation to the workpiece. The arc force can be used to
counteract the gravitational force on the molten weld pool

Travel Speed: go slow
