Absolutely would like to see more Pulse MIG video - especially Pulse MIG on Steel, which I believe is genuinely undiscovered by most - it's an amazing process on steel - beautiful welds, no cleanup, deep penetration - what's not to like! Possible topics: (1) use other machines like the Millermatic 350P, or the HTP pulse machine (they both have different types of adjustments) - the MM350 has both an Arc Length and Arc Width adjustment); (2) Pulse MIG welding thin materials - I was using my MM350P (new machine to me) on 1/8" steel today and having some trouble keeping the weld bead flat. Using 0.035 wire on 1/8" steel tube is sort of like using a fire hose that squirts molten metal! (3) Weld puddle manipulation (small cursive "c"s, circles, etc. - if any of these are possible) using Pulse MIG on steel (4) heavy "structural" fabrication with Pulse MIG on steel - connecting 1/2" - 1" plates in different configurations - when to grind a deep vee prior to welding. The objective of the heavy structural welds would be to demonstrate how penetration can be achieved while producing a "ready for paint" finish. (5) Possibly show the use of the guide to slide the nozzle along to produce a straight weld - yes this is girly-man (possibly an expression that pre-dates you), but it's very difficult to maintain a perfectly straight bead and maintain the [fast-as-hell] travel speed necessary to maintain a reasonable bead width (especially when you're old - LOL!). (6) A video that answers the question, "Is there any way to slow down the travel speed"? I'm guessing, move to a smaller diameter wire, but are there others? Greatly appreciate the video, and again there is very little on Pulse MIG on Steel out there. These are just some thought starters. Thanks.
I would like to see you guys do a 3/16 plate Butt weld. Vertical up. 3/16 gap. Ceramic backing. Can’t touch what comes out under the ceramic. No undercut and no more then 1/8 inch reinforcement. Has to be done with 100s 0.45 solid wire with 95/5 gas. Pulse arc only. This was one of the test at the shipyard I worked at.
I have yet to see a video from you guys that has never taught me anything. Here's a thought. How about you invent "instant welds" for (amateur) birdsh*t welders such as myself. We could buy a pack and glue them into place. That way we could be proud of our welds rather than hiding them :)
Thanks @@GodslilRedneck23 almost 50 years mate, lmao!! Electrician by trade (says it all). I've done some reasonably good welds over the years, no finished welds have ever failed, but have to always rely on the old saying, "a good grinder beats a good welder" comes to mind, lol. I have an aviation welder friend and even he gave up years ago, haha. But I still front up to bat, at 64, may strike out a few times, but get there in the end. May take 3 or 4 attempts, but in the end. MIG - below par Stick - atrocious TIG - Don't ask Oxy - Holy CRAP! Gas Brazing - Yeah, pretty good. Cheers mate, all the best 👍 🇦🇺
Red Beard! Please explain the Voltage sensing feeder in a little more depth for some that doesn't know. A VS feeder is used mostly on constant current power sources (smaw or mma and tig power sources) the Voltage sensing feeders do the current changes and stabilizes the voltage where as a normal feeder has to have a constant voltage power source. Do a video on that please. As usual great content!!
This video was very informative and I appreciate the shout out...it goes to show that not only is this educational for anyone watching, but there is no such thing as a stupid question and that there are still people like you guys out there willing to help and teach. Thank you
Damn, I'm only about 80 miles north of you. I better start sand bagging and plywooding my windows. Them dang hurricanes don't usually get this far inland!
Weld.com ....For some unknown reason I thought you guys were filming out of Parsons, Ks. I'm not sure how I got sideways with that? You got to admit, that's about as far inland as you can get. I can quit shoveling sand now. lol
I was so excited at that you're actually gonna show What I've been asking but this is really really slow crank that wire speed up to 400 Take your gas down to a universal blend that you would find in a manufacturing facility 7525 Drop down to a lap joint on 8th inch plate and .035 wire it's a pain but these are the limits locked into my work welder we dont have all that control in a production atmosphere otherwise I would run 600 inches lol
Ringr 57 you maybe referring to Rapid Arc or Rapid X. We run that around 800ipm with 75/25 gas. Its a modified short circuit. We did a video awhile back. Check it out.
@@GodslilRedneck23 I was referring to rapid x but in the overhead position 8th inch plates lap joint within the parameters listed overhead at 300 or less is real easy at 400 it gets harder I wish I could film it but no cameras allowed in production areas
Thanks, all I had to do was match your settings and my life was a whole lot easier. Here we use a Miller deltaweld 350 with the Miller intelex pro wire feeder there are control settings go from fluid stiff. Is that related to inductance at all?
Any chance we can see some pulse MIG in the flat/horizontal positions? We run it that all the time with our robots, and It makes nice looking welds with little spatter
Honk Meer it’s GMAW not Mig or Mag. MIG and MAG are non standard terms for GMAW. That being said this would be closer to MIG (Metal Inert Gas) because it is primarily (90%) inert.
Jason Becker yessir. That’s exactly what we’re doing right now. I know it’s different and it’s hard to find because a lot of people don’t know anything about it or know how to run pulse. I appreciate it bro. Thanks again 💪💉
Bill Cyrus for gas shielded flux core there are various compositions of gas which can be used. However each gas shielded wire will require a different type of shielding gas. Some require only 100% CO2, others 75/25 some you can use either. You have to check the electrode specification and the manufacturers recommendation.
I run a lot of .045 Ultracore 71A85. Nothing but 75/25 on that. Runs beautifully in all positions in case you haven't bought a roll yet.. I run either 75/25 or 90/10 on all hard hardwire, but 90/10 only for spray or pulse..
Are the pulse settings (frequency, percentage, etc.) set manually by the user or automatically by the machine based on wfs and trim? I've got an Everlast 275P that I'm trying to dial pulse settings in for (manual settings). I figured if I can sort of reverse engineer the synergic pulse machines, it might give me a solid baseline for my own settings.
I may or may not have a test coming up pretty soon. One will be 3g MIG root and pulse mig fill and cap and then the same thing in 6g pipe. Ive done pulse mig one time but a whole lot of regular mig. Any tips from anyone would be awesome.. like wire speed and volts and what not...
@@GodslilRedneck23 That's awesome, I checked out her page yesterday and saw she's not accepting orders right now, but I did sign up for an email for when she opens back up to orders.
Uphil probably don't use spray at all for uphill . And for overhead spray might be ok just got to adjust your wire till u got it dialed in maybe don't do spray for either of them
I've been wondering what your trim value is adjusting? I use a synergistic pulse on a 350p and I adjust the arc length. Is that the same value change just a different name? Also I don't have a voltage sensing lead, is that due to the synergic setting?
Levi Towns you may not have a voltage sensing lead because you have an internal wire feeder. Does your wire feeder sit on top of the machine or is it a solitary unit? Trim is what Lincoln uses others have different names for it. Same thing different name.
We live in FL as well. It was a lighthearted attempt at bringing awareness. Check out the link in the description of you'd like to donate to the relief effort.
