Thanks so much just started pulse not a lot of data or info on the subject in relation to settings And arc length Love my Miller machines but manuals are only give basic Thanks again and hats off to Lincoln for sharing Miller needs to step up on training
Im currently training in pulse at a shipyard. I passed my 3G and 2G tests (xrayed) but i had 2 little spots of porosity in my 4G. Im having an issue where halfway through the bead it seems almost like the pulse slowed down and the puddle look unstable, im keeping it the same size and the bead turn out just fine externally but grind it down and you might find 1 or 2 pencil tip sized spots of porosity (my failed test had 2 in the entire plate). As far as i can tell it isnt stickout, my angle does change from a 15° drag to more straight up 90 by the end of it since im pivoting on my elbow with an arm rest. Procedure is inch thick 01CS to 01CS bevelled on both sides (deep front groove, shallow back groove) with 1/4 inch run off tabs and obviously no backing strap. Fill front and carbon arc the backside then fill the backside. Using 100S-1 0.45 wire at 210 WFS and 21.5V I was using 220WFS and 22.0V but apparently amperage was to high and they had me turn it down
We have a aluminum pulse mig welder at work your right i get like zero spatter but, was confused to you mentioned the arc length. We are using a new gas its like 2% co2 i think with balanced argon idc for it think argon welds better supposed to make it so the spatter comes off easy during regular mig aluminum didn't make a difference when i tried it only pulse mig created no spatter.
This was a very good video on the basics. My question is can you do another on specifics of welding things like hy-100 and ar 500 using pulse? I own an excavation company and do a lot of repair on heavy equipment components. Currently I use a dual shield set up or 110-18 stick rod for most of my repairs. A friend is a welder at a naval shipyard and says they have switched to pulse mig for welding the hy materials. I bought a big spool of la-100 solid wire and 95-5 gas as that's what Lincoln called for with that wire. Any tips would be appreciated.
@@cuskit it’s become very annoying. You get people commenting on any kind of welding article; “I can’t wait to do this with my Everlasting welder.” Ugh! For a mediocre company, they sure push their products.
@@melgross So Everlast does this? I always thought it was just guys who own an Everlast welder. Shame on the company if they indeed are the guilty ones! If they would up their quality they wouldn't need to do this. I'm surprised RU-vid allows it. I've reported those kind of posts several times on my channel, I usually just delete them after giving RU-vid a heads up. Meanwhile, this video is extremely good!
Holy shit.. finally an arch lenght explanation that make sense..thank you. So im having issues with my weld turning grey. What would be the issue? Using stargon ss, Miller 350p, usual cfm around 40-45. I notice the more angle( almost 45°push) comes out more colorful
If your welds are turning out really grey you're probably running too hot. I'd turn the trim down, maybe wire speed up a bit keep the puddle moving and you'll get a more silver finished look. I pulse weld for a living :)
Arc Length is obviously super important when pulse welding Aluminum as well for the same reason. I have a Yeswelder 211 Pulse welder. Amazing machine but the manual is near worthless.
John, its a question that has many variables. Remember Amperage is electrical flow and Voltage is electrical pressure. The key is to find a spot where both are playing a roll in getting the results you are looking for.
Great video on Pulse but you are you not confusing people a bit? Argon and CO2 mix become an active gas mix and you are welding steel on a MIG/MAG machine… so that's Pulse MAG (Metal Active Gas) welding. Pulse MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding you do with a non-active/Inert gas like pure Argon or Helium or mix both. You MIG Aluminum. But of course, you know this… Or did I miss something?
short circuit pulse??? this is what is called modified short circuit and there are few machines capable of this?? Do you have a Fronius CMT? Lincoln with STT or Miller with RMD?
seriously? let the boomer do what the boomer does well, teach - thanks for the great video, stick with the sound effects that work for you and don't worry bout the young tykes.
