Welding sheet metal is a completely different ballgame. When you're trying to fuse two pieces of 22 gauge (.030) things can easily go south!
In this episode we have @mancubwelder from Weld.com showing some tricks on how to overcome the most common sheet metal problems.

The sound of a properly set MIG welder is so nice.

@snowkracker 3 года назад

My instructor told me it should sound like you’re frying bacon 🥓 Now every time I MIG weld I’m distracted by thoughts of a BLT.

@BengtRosini13 6 месяцев назад

Thank you. My welds tend to look rough, and knowing that it's okay to grind and work the metal until the result is acceptable. I keep hearing the little voice saying, Dad raised a welder, not a grinder. But until I can get perfection, I'll have to grind.

@brandonmasser5248 3 года назад

I got a job and when I ran the weld test, they said the volts were set at 27V and they didn't say the wire speed. I just got out to college and i only was use to welding with 1/4 inch and 3/8 material at like 20-22 v with a wire speed from 335 .Why would they be welding at such a high temp.? I just kept blowing through as soon as i pulled the trigger. We didn't really go over thin 16 gauge sheet metal in college. This job is a piece rate so they said they run hot and fast. I still got the job, but the welds were unsatisfactory.

@derLeomitmBenzer 3 года назад

I played around with Tig filler wire a bit to bridge a little gap and i have to say it works like a charm. Just put a tig filler in this case 3/32 in the gap and play a little with the settings. Worked pretty good on my test pieces

Great video. Question: I’m FCAW 22ga sheet steel for a rocker panel repair. I’m a newbie. Using a Lincoln MIG welder set up for FCAW and 0.035” wire. To prevent blow through I have lowest voltage setting (A). Should I also have the slowest wire feed speed?

@adnanoldisgold9599 3 года назад

I want to spot weld the iron piece but it's one side is covered with cloth, so what should I do for it

@mongomay1 2 года назад

How can you reduce the heat effected zone butt welding 20ga mild steel to the size of the bead and have penetration that does not warp the sheet metal?

@SubtractZero Год назад

I want to know if you should be aiming the welding wire at one side of the metal, or directly at the gap (or butt) area.

@daiiahi3403 2 года назад

Also, the length of the wire coming out of the nozzle makes a differnce?

@bruced1429 3 года назад

Great video Man Cub, recently I had to fix a trailer with some broken side supports, they were 16 gauge , I decided to fix with 1/8 angle which did work and I spot welded then ran full beads on top. It is a pain to get nice welds that work. I was wondering if you could do a video on welding thin sheet to thicker sheet as many times we have to do repairs that require welding thick to thin to make something stronger than it was when it came in for repair. thanks

@everlastgenerator 3 года назад

We can do that

@quickshot4050 3 года назад

Hey Bruce, I saw your comment and in case you were still wondering, what I do, is when you’re welding with the mig gun, focus your gun towards the thicker metal then quickly drag the puddle to the thinner metal and back to the thicker metal, kinda like whipping with pipe, it’s how I’ve done it and I do thin gauge welding as my job lol

@bruced1429 3 года назад

@@quickshot4050 Hay thanks for the tip, I have done as you said , problems arise with 1/8 to 14 and 16 gauge . Trying to get some penetration on the 1/8 with out melting the 16 gauge . Now on non structural builds I have been using silicone bronze mig wire 035 seems to work well but not cheap. Still working as you recommend for heavier furniture .

@quickshot4050 3 года назад

@@bruced1429 here is another tip, try turning your machine way down, but turn the wire speed way up, I can weld 24 gauge galvanized at 10 volts and 150 ipm wire speed, you need to keep your gun very close tho, as if you don’t you’ll just be popping a lot. Also don’t be afraid to turn your cfh on your argon down as well.

@quickshot4050 3 года назад

@@bruced1429 oh and lastly if you’re still having some issues, if you can turn your piece upside down and run down hill. Gun pointed up.

@Yophillips3272 2 года назад

I never mess around with pulse settings or anything like that. Weld hot as you can without burning through.

@hangngoaigiare 3 года назад

Please make a video about restaurant grease duct welding and assembly

@leonardpearlman4017 3 года назад

In my very limited experience, this has a lot to do with cleaning! I once got to do a tiny bit of TIG welding on the side of a deep-fryer, it was full of oil! The outside had a thick layer of fryer oil baked on to it.... Probably a miserable hour cleaning off a spot a few inches square, down to gleaming bright stainless... then maybe thirty seconds making a tiny weld.

@fpvflyby6855 Год назад

So I have a question I’m doing a lap weld on 14 gauge steel on 22 0:02 gauge steel. With flux core. My welder specs show @ 110v minimum thickness is 20 gauge and I am burning through, any suggestion? Or am I spinning my wheels?

@TSIXGaming Год назад

how about galvanised sheet is stick better than mig cuz of flux?

@TSIXGaming Год назад

or are those sheets galvanised?

@daiiahi3403 2 года назад

This is my problem...voltage and wire speed...the technique seems easy to emulate but the setting of the voltage and wire speed is my problem. I'm assuming this if flux core wire? Weld looks great!

@tomnanos9609 2 года назад

That too is my problem. I can't trust the info sheet in my MIG - the voltage is either too high or low or my speed is too fast or too slow. I'm constantly burning holes in my 18ga steel

@daiiahi3403 2 года назад

you still failed. @ 7:48 you can visibly see the failures. right in the middle of your piece. If you're gonna be a grinder at least do it right. and in case your wondering im ticketed in welding and sheetmetal. Tisk tisk

@taxicamel 2 года назад

Starting off at 00:05 ....welding "carbon" steel. PLEASE ......if you are going say "carbon" steel, then tell us exactly what the steel is because WHEN you say "carbon" steel, that infers the carbon content is over "MILD STEEL" carbon content .....WHICH IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BEAST!!!! So this video is NOT "welding sheet metal" as the video title states. It is fixing poor welding. .
