I'm having some troubles welding new sheet metal into a car.
While spot welding it penetrates and sticks to the new metal but it does not penetrate the existing metal.
The existing metal of the car is +-1,5mm
The new metal is also +-1,5mm
The area is around 20cm long and 4cm high.
The existing metal is cleaned, to shinny bright silver metal.
The ground is placed next to the welding area on cleaned metal,
The MIG weld wire is flux core and the machine is from Deca.
Im new to welding and i have tried turning the wire speed up and down as well as the voltage. This resulted only in burn troughs and sputtering.
I hope this is enough information, and that somebody is able to help me why it is not able to penetrate en stick to the car (existing metal).
