Is there a flow chart for gas flow whilst Mig welding? ive looked and cant find it.Thanks . I looked in the Mig tutorial and couldnt see any recommendations.
ps im using argoshield 5 ta
You don't need a flow chart, just set it between 12 and 15 ltr/min and use the same flow for whatever you're doing unless you are running well into spray transfer and you may need to tweet it up to around 18
Was looking through the forum for this the other day as I was wondering if I was running too high, the majority of recommendations averaged between 6 - 10 lpm and if in windy conditions bump it up a bit. I got the best hits by searching 'argoshield lpm'
Just be careful about turning it down too low if you're welding anything "critical". A low flow rate will allow the ingress of atmospheric nitrogen into the weld pool and adjacent parent material, this will lead to a reduction in toughness/strength
