advice on these welds/wirl pool or weld pool

[robin osborne]

hello, I am using rtec mig 180. corgon 18 gas which is 82%argon 18 % co2 and Lincoln e70 s6 wire.
it is 3mm metal
1st pic volt setting 7 wire speed 250 inch

volts 7 wire speed 190-210" slightly poppey

v 6.9 wire speed 190"

they are done using push method which I haven't tried before and 8/10mm stickout. now ime not using fluxcore I can see the wire hits the metal and it looks like it is in the middle of a very bright glow of yellow surrounded by orange then the weld is forming behind it. is this the weld pool? I couldn't seem to move the wire to the front of the pool the glow just seemed to stay equally around the wire.

Looks good, nice straight beads! Push is always more preferable when MAG welding whenever you canJust need to dial in the wire feed speed until it sounds like bacon frying, too much wire = lots of spatter hence there being less spatter in each pic. Is that stick out measured from the shroud or the tip?
The weld pool is the molten metal created by the arc, the 'glow' is the arc which is why it moves with the wire. Have a look at the tutorials on here and watch some YouTube videos (weldingtipsandticks is very informative) so you can get a better idea of how the arc should look. Then just practice and you'll get there.

cheers, I thought the lower wire speeds where better, they just didn't sound as smooth, slightly poppey . the stick out was measured from tip. which is about 2mm in from shroud. I did weld some 2mm 1" box up with these settings without any spatter not sure why, I did turn the gas up slightly to 10 l/min as it was on 8

I found with my 180 rtech and 0.8mm wire that the voltage and feed dials are about even, normally just a little tweak from there to get it running well.
