Re: How to GMAW: Running flat weld beads
It would help to know what your welding / thickness / position / machine parameters to give an informed opinion - but unless things are different the other side of the pond I'd say the gas is an issue - in the UK if you only use Mig for hobby use on non critical very thin material ( car body panels...

Re: How to GMAW: Running flat weld beads
You said "test plate", so I assume it's for an employer? All you really need to do is slow down just slightly without other changes. Remember, when you see the puddle come flush and move, all that molten steel is going to shrink when it cools and leave you concave. If you slow just a bit,...

Re: TIG welding: Adding filler metal; need tips and tricks :
