This would work better with a larger diameter wire.
because if you exceed a certain setting, your melting pool/wire will explode. but you can weld with 0.8 wire in spray arc area.
what you should look at for me on the front screen is what the Volt is and what the Amp is. how do you do that by...
Here I have an electrode that can also be drag welded, if you are drag welding you should not push your electrode into the weld pool but place the electrode down and steer it.
@Jack Ryan WFS is the thread speed.
and if you want to know, you can calculate it.
your wire speed is also your ampere.
an example if you want to calculate the WFS.
your ampere is 250 and your welding machine has a WFS range of
1 + 22 m/min. then you take a watch or a stopwatch.
you set your...
@addjunkie
this is to be able to work effectively and to get more efficiency from your welding.
Elgacore MXX 100 / T 42 2 M C/M 1 H5
the first M is for metal cored electrode or metal powder. This allows you to create a root pass without support at the back (backing strip).
but is not as...
these two WPS, one from AWS and one from ISO 15609-1. have everything you need to know, but I don't think people can find it.
I the one from AWS I highlighted it in yellow.
This welding machine has a reading panel on the front. you can see what your amp is and you can see how many volts you were welding with. the protrusion length of your mouthpiece is indicated on your WPS. you can set this welding machine for different metals.
and if you want to know whether...
@Jack Ryan I don't really understand your question. because you say that only the current is given.
it is a semi-automatic welding machine.
you may weld GMAW and FCAW.
ampere is indicated.
voltage is indicated
heat input is indicated.
etc etc etc.
can you explain what exactly you mean?
