Re: MIG welding (problem) : Galvanized Plate 1.6mm 16ga

I'm currently welding the same stuff bud. What I have found is the miller calculator is a little high . Your wire speed could be a little more. But one thing is your using way too thick wire. .035 max. The thicker the wire, the more heat needed to melt it, the more amps. Go to .035", ER71-GS w...

Re: MIG welding (problem) : Galvanized Plate 1.6mm 16ga

Glad we could help you - as you already worked out the voltage was on the low side for the wire size but increasing it will result in more heat so you have to move fast on thin material - this is always challenging even when experienced- any time you try to use the minimum amount of power for a giv...

Re: MIG welding (problem) : Galvanized Plate 1.6mm 16ga

My opinion is the wire diameter is the problem - I never had a machine that displayed volts or wire speed & only set by experience so cannot comment on those figures - there is however a minimum voltage for a given wire diameter & I think you have way too little volts for the 1.2mm - if pos...

Re: MIG welding (problem) : Galvanized Plate 1.6mm 16ga

Take a look at the welding calculator from the Miller website: https://www.millerwelds.com/resources/weld-setting-calculators Thank You so much! for this link. When I compare the specs you posted to the suggested specs, it looks like you matched everything but the voltage, so you might bump that up...
