Interesting. How does the braze produce a stronger weld than the mild steel on stainles approach please?
Is it ok to use a general argon co2 mix on braze also?
I've given up trying to find a cheap tri mix gas bottle for stainless wire.
So with mig brazing, are the joints not as strong then as what I've just seen on youtube/google etc seems to be saying that it doesn't heat the base metal up so much? I don't understand how it would make a join if this is the case?
Thanks for input fellas.
I have been buying a 80/20 mix 2.2 litre hobby style bottles from welding superstore here in telford.
I think I'm going to give up on the .6mm to start with, atleast until I feel comfortable messing with the .8mm.
I want to be able to mig with stainless also as there...
Hi, thanks.
It's a gas/no gas unit and I have only used it on min 1 so far.
You're right with the gas, I thought I read I needed pure argon somewhere!??
I've used the co2/argon mix for mild steel when making the log burner and this seemed ok. Maybe I need to try pure co2 and try again.
Thanks for the replies.
I started with .8 super6, new spool, with gas. And found that I was picking things up slowly when making a log burner out of an old gas bottle but then, when I tried .6 s.steel, again super6 and new and on pure argon, I found mig wire feed was maxed out to get anything...
Just started welding in the last couple of weeks. Got a clarke mig180 two years ago and a shed two weeks ago and just started to mig.
Also got myself a parweld 163 stick welder and find this easier to set up and use but obviously a big and long future of learning ahead.
I'm wondering if I would...
Hi to anyone and everyone.
Got myself a clarke 180 a couple of years back and finally started to practice on it a couple of weeks ago after finally buying a shed.
Stumbled my way through making a log burner from a gas bottle with plenty of grinding on the way.
I had my mig set to min 1...
