I have been trying to learn via the internet, if all three transfer modes of wire feed welding can be achieved with the same machine (power source). Thank you, thank you, thank you. As per your video, one machine with enough (direct current?) power, combined with the correct shielding gas (or combination of gasses) can produce short-circuit, globular or spray transfer modes of metal transfer. Thanks again.

just found your videos, as I mentioned on stringer vs weave it is so nice to see youtube videos from someone that obviously really knows what they are doing one word of advice, use a monochromatic camera not color, mono cameras actually have wider wavelength range especially into IR as color cameras have IR filters, use mono and then use filters if you want to see specific wavelengths, you can always add back in false color for human visual effect

How does wire size play into this? I have an old ESAB 200 amp welder. The adjustments just go from 1 to 10 so I don't know what voltage&feed I have. I usually run 0.8mm and I don't think it can spray transfer. Would it be worthwile to buy and try 0.6mm wire, could it have better penetration if it can spray transfer (versus 0.8mm short circuit)?

I have a question so when you said short circuit is up to 5/16 why is there a structural test for short circuit that 1/2inch thick. Or is that only for a route pass on a 5/16 thick plate and how would you run then a 1/2 inch beveled plate with a backing plate

I am welding with a mig solid core setup and weld anything between 1.5mm to 10mm. I currently have a gas mix 78% argon, 20% co2, 2% oxygen. I am going to switch over to 93% argon, 5% Co2, 2% oxygen as I think this will be more suitable for the thinner more common material I weld. I would like to know how this will effect my settings. Will I have to increase my voltage and wire feed and will I get into or closer to spray transfer with say 3mm steel or would it still be to thin? I am intrigued how this will effect my welds? My old bottle is almost empty now so I will be replacing it in the next few months so it will be a bit strange as I've only ever welded with the gas I have now with mig. Thanks. Dave.

Hello Jason, interesting results. Based on the comments below, I would say that there is a lot of interest and need for facts - intead of believes - in this topic. It would be helpfull to show the relevant system settings that you used, maybe something like a WPS sheet that can be downloaded (WPS = Welding Procedure Specification)? For example, the energy data in combination with travel speed can tell quite a bit about the expected weld/penetration (i.e. Voltage together with Amperage and travel speed; electrical wave form would be good to know but seems to be kept "hidden" by the OEMs - guess why). Mayby you also can shed some light on terms like "pre-qualified" etc. Keep up the good work!

nice vid. Couple questions! So all these were same wire size, did I miss what size it is? Also, I did not know the 82% or higher, been using 75/25 on spray tfer for some 1/4" stuff. What would you think the effect of that is? Not a pro welder here, just stuff for the shop. Also, can I use the same tri-mix we have for stainless mig for spray transfer on steel (sorry don't know %s, not on the bottle) ? Thanks!

@krazykanux 4 жыл бұрын

Possible that gaz for stainless has helium so pretty expensive. So if you can spray with 90/10, just go with it. Not sure about price difference but i think a tri mix bottle goes for 150$.

@AHill-oi9ct 2 жыл бұрын

I believe he was just changing gas and settings. The same wire can be used with all of the transfer modes. I'm not very knowledgeable on the subject, but I will say yes to the short circuit. The voltages for spray are too high to be achieved on smaller machines. I would take a guess to say a 210 amp machine might be able to spray, but the duty cycle probably would limit how long.

Welding is cool, but not when I used to do it all day, every day. I love custom metal fabrication and repairing things, which is exactly what my own business is based around. I get to design, build, weld, and finish (paint, brushed finish, etc) all kinds of stuff, I get paid for my ideas and talent, plus I get to meet and talk to all kinds of people. It is truly my dream job. I am stressing now because I can't keep up, so it is time to find some help.
