Hi Folks,
im wondering can someone help me with some info/specs/settings for welding IPE220 (9" beams).
As im purely a tig welder, ive very little expereince with structural steel, so when i dont know something, im the first to admit it and ask!
I'm making two portal frames for the workshop im building as i cant find anyone local to make them at a reasonable price, i decided il do it myself.
So the frames are 11' to the eaves, and 14' to the apex. they will need foot plates and flange plates for bolting them together, 12-15mm thick.
questions:
i think im going to need to rent an MMA welder, what specs/features do i need?
rods?
weld settings?
thanks!
