mig looking like tig

[gordon stephenson]

Hi Everyone,
I,m trying to understand synergic pulse mig welding. I'v seen some excellent reults (Matt 1978) with a lovely bead with very even ripples. I thought synergic acted like spray transfer, ei; lots of small drops leaving a very smooth bead, are the ripples caused by adjusting the machine so that it drips onto the seam and the forward motion of the torch overlaps the drips.
Hope this makes sense to you all.
Cheers Gordon.

If you see some of the rubbish people do with TIG torches, then knowing nothing about synergic pulse MIGs what so ever, I think I can safely say, that if you want really neat, even TIG looking MIG welds, the most important thing is the nut holding the torch.

It's a machine, not a magic wand.

Hello Blackjack,
As in most things in life the more practice you do the better you get, I fully realise that the skill level lies with the operator, but not having used a synergic pulse machine what form the metal transfer takes,

Regards Gordon.
