Hi All.
Just looking for some pointers about Mig-ing Stainless, 316 in particular. Ive a transformer Mig and I'm assuming that as long as I put new liner tips rollers etc in and the appropriate wire and 100%argon, I'm good to go?
I'll be pickling the welds as normal. I just need something a bit quicker than arc which is how I'm doing this particular job at the moment. I am experienced with arc and stainless - I've a lot of hours doing it so its an easy thing to me and I'm fairly efficient at it, but I need something a bit quicker for lots of smaller bits. TIG would be nice but at the moment I cant run to a set. I have one I borrow when I need but the guy it belongs to is using it at the moment, hence looking at Mig.
Cant think I've overlooked anything kit-wise?
