Are you using BOC gas,been getting quite a bit from their gas lately,very annoyingAfternoon all,
Is it possible to do anything to stop spatter like this?
I’ve tried increasing voltage a little, changing torch angle, higher and lower gas flow, nothing helped. many ideas?
It stops the spatter sticking on the work too...I'm using SGS gas, it improved a bit on the next run when I cleaned the scale off the parts being welded. I've got some spray somewhere, always thought it was just for stopping spatter clogging the nozzle up
What gas mix are you usingAre you using BOC gas,been getting quite a bit from their gas lately,very annoying
Argoshield light,https://www.boconline.co.uk/shop/en/uk/argoshield-light-cylinderWhat gas mix are you using
You need to get it sent back, because they fill the cylinders in large batches, if you’re having problems loads of other people will be having the same issuesArgoshield light,https://www.boconline.co.uk/shop/en/uk/argoshield-light-cylinder
Have done for quite awhile as most the work i do is thin stuff
When i 1st started using it it was fine,but now and again you get the odd bottle thats(how can i put this) gone off,so to speak
Yes i agree with all what you stated up there ^^^^^^^,but,you may know yourself,when it dont taste the same as before its not the same,get me
Your voltage is too high.
Exactly what I was going to say.
It sounds counter-intuitive - surely more voltage will burn hotter and give less spatter? Well actually, not really, not if you're pushing it into a globular transfer range.
You can also see a wide wetting on the beads which would indicate more voltage than necessary.
Run the lowest voltage you can get away with to give good wetting. That hot and nasty spatter will disappear, and you'll get much cooler and easier-to-remove light spatter instead.
If the power source is a good one, you'll end up with zero spatter.
I usually turn my wire speed down if you have a wire feed on it.Afternoon all,
