Hi Guys.
I am looking at welding a 10mm plate to a 3mm wall thickness 28mm diameter tube. The plates will be shock absorber mounts on a twin shock motorcycle frame so it will need to be strong.
Using a wolf mig 140 will this be possible? Maybe with multiple passes?
I will be chamfering both sides of the plate and welding from both sides.
I am currently using CO2, will this be ok or will I need an argon/co2 mix for better penetration?
I have heard than flux cored wire gives good penetration so maybe this is the way to go?
Thanx in advance for any advice.
