Hi Everyone,
new to mig welding and am being forced to learn to repair my classic 1977 mini. I work in construction so do have hands on experience with tools etc. but never done welding before.
My question is regarding steel types and which type of steel can be used with which type of welding/welder.
I was planning on getting 0.8mm mild steel to practice with but the only thing i can find available is cold rolled or hot rolled steel sheet. are these the same as mild steel and can they be used for MIG welding.
ill be using argon co2 mix.
wat are some other good exercises I can carry out before working out on the car.
thanks in advance
