Yeah red beard is back. And dont be afraid of taking gas shielded outside. We do it all the time. It can be quite windy outside. As long as you stand with the wind at your back and cover with your body. We use the Kemppi evo 200 one phase machine and run 1 mm 0.0394 3/64 ″ wire. Now Kemppi has the new evo 220amp one phase This can run 1.2mm wire

I use gas shield flux core exclusively, and I love it because it’s so easy. I’ve bent tested and cut-and-polish tested a bunch of my welds and they’re rock solid. And I use a Yeswelder so it’s not high end equipment. It’s probably the most versatile process for the guy who wants to weld steel at home.

Haven't commented in some time as my health tends to tell me when or not to do stuff. I have straight up envy of your table. I am pushing seventy five right soon and just wish we had tools and machines like this in the sixties and even up to eighties. I really don't know when these new machines came to be but golly whiz, nice welds and little efforts for nice looking great welds. Other day I seen my landlord trying to use a torch and couldn't keep my trap shut. He blows off at me and said if you can do better then hop to it. I told him to hang onto my suspenders so I don't get to be a part of it. He had metal starting to warp and nasty looking jagged looking cuts going. He also had been at it for around fifteen minutes and was getting nowhere fast. It took me more time to clean the tip, do a little prep and then slick as a whistle sliced off the offending metal he was messing up. My cut looked like a plasma cut and no slag, just straight and sweet! He looks at me and just shook his head, where did you learn all this? Oh about forty some years ago we had to buy oxygen and acetylene plus it came from the main land so getting tanks out on a job site was right expensive. Best learn quick or learn how to use a hack saw..... he is now asking me to teach him. I just wish tho I had a better memory as I have seen the newer welders that have a great many functions that are right at the fingertips.

I started in 1973. Boy, the machines are sooo much better. I know some guys who huff and puff when they say they prefer an old transformer machine. But as far as I’m concerned, they can all be thrown off the boat and used to build a reef. I also like ESAB these days. I’ve got a 205 and am very happy with it. My Siegmund table is also much better than tables back then too.

Dualshield is an ESAB trade-name that refers to the ability to use either Argon/CO2 or 100% CO2. The gas provides the shielding and allows for a long, high voltage spray-arc that gives low-spatter high-deposition with a very fluid weld that is held in position and shaped by the slag-covering which is the primary reason for having the flux. So; gas for shielding, flux for shaping.
@M4BHowardАй бұрын
2:50 Dual Shield. The flux is essentially a heavy deoxidizing agent that rips through millscale like nobody's business, floating it to the top in the slag (which slag also helps support the puddle out of position.) Shield 1. Shield 2, keep the atmosphere from destroying the weld. The flux isn't designed to do that; that's where the gas shielding comes in. Dual shield.

The only things I gotta say yall missed was 1) when he asked about the first pass on the 1/2" plate, Jason shouldve told him to turn the volts up. 2) running gas on self shielded wire is not only wasting gas, it might be detrimental to the strength of the weld. The alloys and deoxydizers in the flux werent designed to have shielding gas, so they're fighting that additional unnecessary contamination.

I worked for a steel boat company and they were stick all the way. I was an electrician but welded my own racks. I asked the owner why he hadn't gone mig as it was far better in production than stick swapping. Checked in on him a couple years later and he had included MIG. Seemed to improve construction a bit. Can't use it in small spaces and backside of pipes in corners, but it was a big plus on hull and stringers. (Especially on the 100'+ boats)

With those self shielded passes, it seems to me that you either turn up the settings so you can get a flatter weld for that type of thickness or do more up and down manipulation as you travel

Another reason for the gas-shielding in dual shield wire is the arc will cause the gas to ionize across the arc stream giving you a “hotter”, higher penetrating arc.

The flux in dual shield facilitates running out of position as the slag actually freezes before the molten weld pool. Also, I’m guessing, the flux contains iron powder therefore increasing deposition rates. I run a ton of it and always say that if you can’t run vertical up and overhead with dual shield, you better find a new profession.

Cooling of torch is just an exstra bennefit of the cold gas. But main reason is to protect weld against oxygen. But the gas also affects penetration. The slag helps to suck out Contaminants from the weld. And it works as a mold when you do position welds.

Would you take your MIG welder outside in a 10mi./ hr cross wind? Dual sheid doesn't fair any better. It's indoor, "structural MIG" welding. It's almost as expensive as TIG welding. The absence of freeze lines makes it difficult for you to analyze your mistakes. The bead looks like a slug. Just learn SMAW and MIG, keep it simple. Don't waste your money unless your in business with a shop.

We do alot of welding outside using dual shield. Of course not when the wind is hurricane force. But as long as you manage to position yourself so that the wind is at your back, it can withstand an incredible amount of wind. I prefer to weld with wire rather than electrodes.
