Mr. G. Brettin's Slow Motion Leg Hump

gbrettin · 10-14-2019, 08:21 PM

Ok, FINALLY done grinding out the seams (where I need it) and scuffed. Onward to welding! ... Some other day... If you haven't noticed cleaning the seams has been a royal PITA (As pointed out by all you).

You going to mig weld the seams? If you do. Use ER70S-6 .025 wire with gas. I like to use Argon gas. It's a bit cleaner then CO2. Have you gas flow between 30 to 50. The .035 wire is a little too thick. It doesn't melt fast enough, and may push through the puddle. Causing a hole. DO NOT USE fluxcore wire. Because you WILL have a lot of work cleaning everything up. The slag can be a bitch to clean up.

I'm pretty sure we are going to TIG but I'm leaving that up to my buddy. I'd like to do some welding but I'm going to learn on something a little less visible.

Tig will take a lot longer. But be a nicer weld. You can still use ER70s-6 wire, .035. .045 wire will give you more filler if you need to fill in some gaps.
