Yes. Flux-cored burns hotter and can weld thicker metal. It also produces more smoke so it's best to weld outdoors. If welding indoors, use a smoke extractor or at the very least, make sure the room is very well ventilated. Always follow the equipment manufacturers safety instructions and use proper ppe.
The 90i MIG is a MIG and flux-cored welder.Typically, a spoon gun is needed to weld aluminum. So you would need a welder that will accommodate a spool gun. Our 180i MP, LE31MP, 180 series and 140 series are 'spool-gun ready' welders. You can find info about these machines here: lincolnelectricretail.com/. Hope this helps and good luck with your welding project!
Yes. 90/10 (90% argon/10% CO2) is most popular, but you can run 100% CO2. For more info on the 90i MIG visit: lincolnelectricretail.com/products/90imig/
Yes, you can use the regulator that the Albee tank comes with as long as you do not exceed 30 CFH which is the recommended setting for the 90i MIG. For more info on the 90i MIG, visit: lincolnelectricretail.com/products/90imig/
The most common gas mix for MIG welding on carbon steel is 75% argon/25% carbon dioxide. Your local gas distributor will have this. It's also referred to as 75% argon/25% CO2, or 75/25 or C25. Hope this helps. And best of luck with your welding project!
The 90i MIG runs runs on a 120 volt, 60 amps, single phase circuit and needs 20 amps of input current. Check the manufacturer's specs but typically a 8750 watt generator should deliver plenty of output amperage to power the 90i MIG. Here's a link to info and a retailer list for the 90i MIG: lincolnelectricretail.com/products/90imig/ Hope this helps. Please write back if you need more info. Good luck with your welding project!

Just to make sure, with gas less flux it can weld thicker?
Yes. Flux-cored burns hotter and can weld thicker metal. It also produces more smoke so it's best to weld outdoors.

So will the 90i mig use and weld aluminum? That’s something I couldn’t find any information on

Good afternoon, excuse me, does the machine run on co2 gas?
Yes. 90/10 (90% argon/10% CO2) is most popular, but you can run 100% CO2. For more info on the 90i MIG visit: lincolnelectricretail.com/products/90imig/
@@LincolnElectricRetailHow about 75/25?
@@zyou8er Yes. 75/25 will be fine.
Can this welder be used with a different regulator such as the one built into an ALbee tank?
Yes, you can use the regulator that the Albee tank comes with as long as you do not exceed 30 CFH which is the recommended setting for the 90i MIG.

@@LincolnElectricRetail Thank you. I appreciate the response.
How many pounds it’s that spool wire
JM, it's the small spools. The flux-core spool is 1 pound. The MIG wire is the same size spool but weighs 2 pounds.
What gas is recommended for mild carbon steel? 3/16” and below
Thx

Would a 8750 wat generator be able to pull the amps?

👍
It wont fit the 10lb wire spool
I’ll go through that small spool really fast! 😂
