Erm 6mm wire? 0.6? I cant imagine any real reason why any set would have issue just laying a bead regardless of what gas you're running, unless it's a tiny bottle that's emptied faster then you realise..... I've had that happen, spent 10 minutes thinking whys that doing that before I realised my bottle was spent
Hello. It's a brand new bottle also it's hard to see what you're doing with the wide end shroud, is there a different shroud you can get with a more narrow end, also noticed your wire sticks out is that ok. Tks
Hi, the set I used in this video burnt out on me. But with regards to shrouds typically a wider one is best I've only ever needed to take shroud size into consideration when tig welding and that's because of welding in very confined gaps on pre fabricated parts, mig welding isn't so fussy as you can if needed "flood gas" known as purging into a tight corner then use a long but not too long long wire stick out. If the wire stick out is to long you will just make the wire glow.. 1 or 2 cm wire stick out is fine so long as you have sufficient gas flow to create a gas envelope around your weld. My guess is you're laying some of you're first beads?
Hello thanks, any particular wire make you would recommend, regarding flux core wire specifically 0.6mm and solid wire, to be honest I'm trying to weld 1mm and thinner with the ( 0.6mm solid wire and the 100% co2 because the co2 lasts longer, maybe not a good match. I use Lidl flux core wire and the solid wire comes from static arc were I got my welder. Tks
@@martinmorgan8475 I have never used flux core so I cant speak to that. with gas shielded welding I've never found any real difference between wires so long as they are clean and correct for ths work application, arc welding however there is a vast difference between brands and types but that's a whole different world. If you're new to welding then 1mm and less is gonna take some practice with mig 1.0mm is as thin as I will bother to weld with mig as tig is much more suited to thin metal and way more forgiving. 0.6mm is perfectly ok to weld with mig but you got to move fast as hell. co2 by nature is for better for thicker metal as it give deeper penetration, while not ideal for mig welding thin metal I have completely stopped using argon or any form mixed gas for mig welding I solely use pure co2 for mig. Any metals such as ally, stainless or special requirement metal I will tig or arc weld depending on application.
Hi sir may you please answer my question How long full 5kg co2 fire extinguisher give me gas to it becomes completely empty To use it for making a dry ice thanks
I have no idea about dry ice. But for welding I think I get longer from a 5kg co2 extinguisher as I used to get from a full size industrial argon bottle.
thanks Shane I learn something new every day dose beer gas contain carbon dioxide. we got lots of empty metal kegs out side the pub
Yeah plus I think you have co2 tanks in pubs to charge the lines or something
Hello I have a 140 mig welder with 100% co2 disposable gas bottle I'm using 6mm solid wire on 1mm steel and can't get a decent bead tks
Erm 6mm wire? 0.6?

Thanks but how much time to empty the co2 from the fier extinguisher if we open it completely
