Re: MIG-Aluminum(Spool Gun)- T joint- please critique

if they really want the look tell them to buy a double pulse mig. Not for nothing, but if the boss has his mind set on what he wants, it's not often advisable to start telling him how to do it...

Yes I believe based on the sounds and tip that I was in full spray.

At my job, they want they ripple spacing, so that's what I'm practicing at night.

Re: MIG-Aluminum(Spool Gun)- T joint- please critique

I will pay more attention to the sound. That makes sense.

Thanks for the help.

Re: MIG-Aluminum(Spool Gun)- T joint- please critique

No special setting as far as I know, only spool gun setting. Teacher did help set up. I got the WS/V from the card attached to the machine. I hear buzzing sometimes and crackling others honestly I wasn't paying too much attention the noise.

Re: 6010 bead advice

different angles of the same weld would help see what you're doing. Also, get some clear close-up's. At first glance they look quite ropey, but that could simply be perspective. Heard that. Unfortunately I don't have the same pieces anymore. I also am not sure what you mean by ropey. I'll attach so...

Re: Welding Student - Communty College in NC

Have you tried running beads? You haven't given very much information. I think if you want to get some advice it would help to let people know what process you're welding, how powerful the machine you have, power at your house, stuff like that. I just meant as a general introduction. I'm welding TI...

6010 bead advice

This is 6010, 2 and 3 position done on an old school miller 250 @ 90-100amps. This was all on scrap found in the bin, so I wasn't focused on 50/50 overlap. Struggling with the 6010. Please rate and critique. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200616/f27695fed50776f3a51f28471a17c8c7.jpg https://uploa...

Welding Student - Communty College in NC

Hello,

I'm a student in 2nd semester in Wilmington, NC.

Due to lockdowns we missed months of class. I'm here to get any tips I can and hopefully make up ground.

Thanks
