Hi All
I hope you are staying safe and well!
I have a little issue and I am hoping for some pointers with what I have a present on what I should do.
So the machine I have a is a Sealey MightyMig100XT mk2 but I don't have any argon mix gas at present but I do have a co2 fire extinguisher set up that I could use with Sealey wire 0.6 or 0.8 wire or should I use some flux core 0.8?
My project is a motorcycle ally head that has a snapped m6 steel exhaust stud that is about 5mm below the surface of the head so my plan was to build up some weld then weld on a washer to the built up weld, then a nut onto that, as from the looking around that seems to be the best option.
So where my issues comes from is I have never used the machine in anger as yet and not sure what the best option is would it be better to either use so flux core wire or use normal normal wire and the co2 set up I have? Also any idea's on what sort of setting to use for this. Obviously I will clean up the parts to be welded is my 1st job but after that I need a bit of guidance.
My idea situation would be take it to work and get one of the boys to weld it for me but with the current situation we have to use what we have to hand. Also I can then practice on a nut and bolt to get an idea of settings but any pointers would be great.
Any help would be great Thanks Tim
