Can a t45 roll cage be mig welded?

yes

 

[whensparksfly]

could you explain the process please and wire gas needed thanks

 

[rkde]

gas can be co2 or argon lite and the wire is designed for t45 which can be brought from custom cages

Do you not need a pulse type MIG. I TIG mine, but I have seen a MIG welded T45 cage, and the penatration looked terrible. The weld seemed to be sitting on top of the joint.

^^That's because the bloke doing it was crap then, you don't need a pulse MIG, a normal MIG is just fine.

Inspected a T45 migged up cage last week. Installer used specific T45 wire and apart from 2 welds not welded circumferenially, was all good. Installer was a competent welder

before you play with the cage set up a couple of joints and practice on them, then set them up in a really awkward place and do it again. then do your cage.
