That's awesome. I do the rocking thing. I agree with you. Plus it makes it look a little better.

I think the sharp "pop" that occurs every so often during Bob's demonstration may be caused by an intermittent loss of grounding. Good grounding is extremely critical during spray transfer, wether it's welding with solid wire or cored wires. I deal with these issues constantly in the hard facing business, and I have found that the more contact points for grounding you can have between the lead and the work piece, the better off you will be. I use some old lead cable in between the ground clamp and the steel table when working on a table like Bob's, it really makes a big difference. Great video Bob keep them coming!!!

I had to weld half inch carbon sheets together recently and my foreman had me use this process. I had never used it before. It’s hot hot hot. Gets bright after a couple hours. But it’s really quick and clean.

Brilliant! That last fillet weld sounded so smooth, great tutorial again........Thanks Bob!

I'm a Rocker and it's not liked on a lot of jobs/tests, trouble is I've been doing it 36 years so I'm not stopping.

I love those tweco and Bernard mig guns,they don't feel like a toy gun mig guns.

I love welding with this process, great video

Thank you, Bob. I always enjoy your videos, learn a lot.

True class act Bob! Great work to both you and camera guy!!

I absolutely love the sound of a MIG torch.

Spray welding sounds interesting. I might try this with my Everlast welder.

This is the best welding channel I have seen on KZfaq

I'm just starting out with spray. I have 4 year experience (pretty much self taught) with globular and short circuit. I've found that I prefer spray transfer. It's quieter and cleaner. Less spatter. I also use that Esab hood.

I'm looking to go to school or join a union soon to start my welding career and this is like speaking another language. Didn't know there was so much involved with welding. Awesome channel. So much info!

Love your vids and its good to know you still get "frisky" great welds down under.

I want to do some aluminum welding with my Everlast welder. I've already got the spoolgun on order. I can't wait to try spray welding.

We roll all our pipe in our shop and spray all the hot, filler and cover passes. We can spray down to 3" schedule 40 with 035. wire. We usually stay with the .035 wire for most pipe sizes unless we are getting into the bigger stuff like 24 or 30 inch pipe.

Hi Bob could you do some technical non welding stuff such as setting up manifold systems for delivery of gases in various ratio's for mig and tig workshop/bench welding

I need more practice with my everlast welder and spray transfer. Good video.

Bob you are an absolute rock star! Thank you for all your knowledge 🤟

Good stuff there, Bob! I use almost the exact same consumable setup for my work. 92/08 gas, I run .035-.045 70 s-6 wire.... Same rough stickout. Difference is, I program robots to lay em down for me. (I do them manually as well.) Very happy to see I'm doing it right!

That looks like fun. I'm gonna attempt spray welding with my power imig.

Thank you so much for this video and have a merry Christmas!!!

At my work we have 75/25 argon,co2 and we spray all the time production is so fast ! I love it . Great vid bob!

Sir. I ran across this video and I love spray transfer. I am also surprised at the amount of people that don't know about this prosses. If you would try something when I was in school we had a military trailer factory near us and they came and demonstrated a vertical up with spray. The trick is to trigger on counts, but not let the puddle cool completely before triggering you count again. I know that it works because I passed multiple 3/8 bend test with this technique. Thanks

Thank you so much you helped me to pass a test with your instructions keep it up

I'm a total uneducated/self-taught welder, this is the setting that I've discovered I love! I use this doing even sheet metal rust repair and such. It helps tack stack technique make a nice really well penetrated weld that doesn't have a huge bead to grind off. I even used this to weld up a differential using my little 110v mig. I was able to just crank multiple passes into it no problem.

I use to build roll away dumpsters and did 50 feet of overhead fillet welds on each can. It's easy after you're use to the spray. And I'd run a 4 foot weld on a vertical wall downhill in one pass.

I remember when I first started 10 years ago I had a hobart Ironman 230 and every now and then it would go globular and with no experience I always thought I was doing something wrong. Very funny looking back now.

New lenses are nice but I still tilt my head to drop my huntsman haha. Old submarine welder here, tx for the memories and good job!

Cheers Bob from Aussie Land. I also have to maintain a slight oscillation in my welds to control my timing and weld pool size. Especially when I do a 10 -12 hr shift working in heavy Fabrication on large earth moving buckets, with all the heat coming off the job and the noise all around me I go into zombie mode. So the back / forth technique, which is automatic for me keeps everything under -control. (Duel shield Flux cored 1.6 mm in spray mode 28 - 30 Volts / 300 - 340 Amps multiple pass's). P.S. I found having about 20 mm stick out gives an excellent result ; it allows for any oil on the wire (from manufacture) to burn off, and not end up in the weld.

We're using it in a clean water tank to reduce hexchrome. Our ss is too thin to run it effectively tho i think. Great info boss.👍😎

I really like the look of that rebel 235.

Love the videos, thanks for sharing!

Just really love your videos fella. Very informative and totally right on and correct. VF

Hello Bob, thanks for your time and effort! Could you please ask camera dude to share some more insides on his set up for filming the welding process. Please.

Bob you make me want the Rebel. Great advertisment. Good to see you budd.

Please show more videos using the everlast pulse mig. I am very interested in the capabilities of those welders. They have some really great features. thanks.

So, thats what its called. Been doin it for decades and everyone said i was ding it wrong because it didnt sound ilke bacon, till i showed them the penetration! Lots of time in automotive sheet metal but when i had to do thick stuff i figured it out and practiced. Just didnt know i was "spray welding"! Love the videos, thanks.

I've done spray transfer overhead, if you weld right into a bevel it sucks it right in and looks just as good as if you did it flat.

Mr. Moffatt, What a great amount of information. I watch each video at least 10 times and take notes. This took two 5X8 cards front and back for future reference. I did purchase a 235 ic and one detail that I did not pick up was the CFH on the gas regulation for Spray process. Maybe someone can help with this. This was so much great information. I just registered for Fabteck Atlanta and paid for my room and flights. Excited. Let us know your schedule one day. It would be an honor take a minute of your time and meet you, sir.

Thumbs up to the "camera guy", even though he catches hell for breathing, or beats you playing golf.

I’m sheet metal stainless. Thanks for the refresher broski.

Pretty nice video it’s very informational and answered most my questions

I have run a spray arc downhill. Using a small percentage of oxygen in the gas. a tri-mixture. We would run downhill with the gun angled up, traveling fast, continuous 60 inch long beads, customer wanted no stops. 1/8 inch sheet, had to learn to walk down a ladder while running the bead. Anyway love the channel.

Very good your explacation

Thanks Bob, I have yet to try this technique but have been wanting to try for some time. i think maybe, hope, you can teach an OLD DOG a new trick!

Sure wish I could weld like that! Great video!

Now THIS is welding. Looks easy, but it's being done by a pro. Thank you...

I bought a rebel 215ic because of you

Excellent video!!

Thank you sir it's help me a lot spray arc is cool

I love MiG spray transfer 😍

Good lesson , thanks ...

that welding jacket is really cool

I love spray arc welding!

Damn, Bob, I could listen to you talk about this stuff all day. Thanks for making the videos.

i've been having such a hard time at work, for the past 2 weeks ive been trying to play with the settings, im using a miller cp302 with an older 60 series wire feeder, running providence .045 er70s6 and 90/10 gas. the only time ive been able to achieve a spray arc transfer is at 350 inches a minute and 32 volts with a 1'' stickout and it works good for 1/4'' and up but i work for a company called blueline manufacturing in washington and i manufacture agricultural equipment and sometimes we have gaps and each weld is different, every other weld is a different position from a open gap vertical down to a flat fillet to a vertical down fillet to a T joint to a butt joint to overhead to a vertical down butt weld. On 1/4'' square tube i have been able to do spray arc at 32 volts and 350'' a minute with ,045 er70s6 but for verticle down and overhead butt joints it drips too much, even at 24 volts and 315 inches per minute with short circuit it was too much and too runny, for verticle down, overhead and tight horizontal welds i have been running short circuit at 22.5 volts and 300 inches per minute and works great but for some vertical and flat positions i want to run very hot and for the 1/2'' to 1'' plate and 1-1/4'' plates i want to do spray and the only time ive been able to achieve it is at a minimum of 32 volts and 350'' per minute and higher, at 300'' per minute and 27 volts i can do globular transfer but its such a mess and im trying to achieve spray arc at 26 to 27 volts but im having a hard time trying to get my wire feed settings dialed in, my welder goes up to 450 amps and the wirefeed maxes at 700 inches a minute, at 350 wire feed speed and 32 to 33 volts i can achieve a spray arc, at 300 inches a minute and between 26.5 to 28 volts i can achieve a globular transfer, im wondering when i get to globular and i want to achieve a spray arc do i increase my voltage or do i decrease it??? at 300 inches a minute and 27 volts i am at globular transfer and if i increase it, it becomes a short arc tranfer, even at 375 inches per minute and at 27.5 volts and a 3/4'' to 1'' stickout even down to a 1/2'' stickout still is at a short circuit range, im having such a difficult time and its driving me insane and i am completely lost and have been getting extremely frustrated, i contacted miller 2 days ago and still havent recieved any answers and i would like to know at 300 inches per minute and at 27 volts i am at a globular transfer, i want to be at 27 volts and at a spray arc transfer, if i am at a globular transfer at 27 volts and 300'' per minute should i increase or decrease my wire feed speed to achieve a spray transfer?? im really lost, frustrated and i could really really really use some advice please please please, this is driving me absolutely crazy and im losing hours and hours of sleep each night over it and i stress so much throughout the day trying to figure it out, if anyone at all can help me please i beg of you for some advice, this has been an ongoing struggle and i dont know what to do next, i have a good ground by the way directly to the part and the material is nice, clean and no oil or contaminants or mill scale what so ever, perfectly clean metal with a good solid ground and am still having trouble

It will be nice if include the explanation of purpose for each process & the setting for each type of gas. Good video.

Mig sprayweld is just high voltage with its respective wire speed. If youre experienced you set this up by ear...and do the drag or zig forward zig backwards...kinda like welding fluxcore

i run a Fronius welding system, it operates a bit differently than a CV unit, however it is a fantastic machine.

Iv done spray with metal core going downhill. Not ideal but its doable as long as it's not a structural weld

Sweet welding jacket Bob!!

Thanks for all your videos Mr Moffatt. Thi

Hello Bob, I enjoy your presentations on mig welding. I have owned a 180A. Lincoln buzz box for over fifty years that has been used for farm repair and fabrication with 6013 rod for most jobs. A couple years ago I picked up an SP-250 to build a round bale trailer. I have been able to get decent looking beads that lay on top with no penetration to speak of. Back to the buzz box. The machine has .045 wire. I believe the gas is 25/75. Most of the work is A36. Should I sell or trade it for a stick/tig ac-dc machine. There have been times that it is close to getting adjusted with a sledgehammer. Any ideas? Thank you for listening to my frustrations. Do you have a couch Doc?

I love this guy

I run this vertical down, and it turns out good, you have to keep your angle up a little, but it's possible.

We run Lincoln rapid x at 400 and 1.05v works fine in all positions and down to 1/8 inch plate can you demo some pulse

working for eb and everything yall do is diffrent than whats accepitable there in terms of welds. been here 2 months idk how i feel about it. im gonna try my luck at the union

I use 90/10 for my spray. My HTP Pro Pulse 200 will Weld it out nicely. I can decide if I want to pulse spray or just spray as well. It seems to really like that gas. It’s synergic so the arc is amazing. Have you ever checked out the HTP machines made by Stel Bob?

Kindly note a minor mistske: on the 2nd run once the wire put into the center of puddle - there is a splash. Avoid it by keeping wire in the forward quarter of tbe puddle.

Where'd you get that Jacket? Love your videos, you are helping me tons

*kek Making truck parts and truck accessory, I"d set a miller 350P to 666 wfs and 27.5v make some nice weaves and freak out the few hoodlums from Puerto Rico. would play with the pulse mode sometimes. you set the length and width of the arc, and the on/off time (off being a "still lit arc" but 50% less heat) fun to play with, but without any prior arc time, in a production shop, was hard to figure out the right setting for a range of thicknesses on A32 mild and 309 stainless .045 and .035 respectfully .

You can def overhead spray!!!! Cause i do it all the time!!! No arguing with that comment bob!!!! Keep it up!!! Love these videos!!!

Great vid!, Hey I need advise about this welding I'm working on; 1/2"-1/8" Tee weld. 1/2" is a plate and 1/8" is a square tube against it. I want to take it spray, but I guess the great amp that is needed may easily pierce the tube. What'd be your estimated setup for this weld? Would you use weaving or just straight? Thank you.

I learned something today! Spray MIG huh. Seems comparable to a stick pipe weld, maybe even better.

Try spray arc vertical downhill on thin gauge mild steal

Bob, the arc shots looked like TIG. The sharp wire, the flame front. All reminded me of TIG on steroids.

For those of us who went to public school, it really helps if you put those setups on the screen. It's a lot easier to take in if I can see it while you're talking.

They call the gas C-8 in our area. 92-8 argon /Co2.

At my school they teach us only how to do a smooth weld with no motions loops or whips. I guess if you can do that well you can do anything.

Miss you Bob hope all is well 👍

You neglected to mention that you need a minimum of 80% Argon in your gas mixture to achieve spray transfer. I think that it's a very important tip to note. I can't count the amount of videos I have seen demonstrating "spray" transfer with 75/25 argon/CO2. If you don't have a minimum of 80% argon, then it's just globular transfer with very high settings.

As long as you use .045 solidwire, and an argon rich mix of at least 80/20, you'll be able to achieve spray arc with proper settings.

Sweet jacket Bob!

In your opinion can you achieve a full spray with .45 dual shield/75/25 gas and running on 26/27 volts and 270 to 290 wire speed??

Could u do spray vertical by triggering the gun on and off? GREAT VIDEO BOB.

I run 85/15 - 300/525. I can’t find anyone who runs as hot as we do when it comes to spray. We fabricate and weld out riggers for cranes. I also use .045

This is a great series and great camera work. I've always had a tough time understanding the three phases of MiG welding and the transition points especially in the spray mode seeing that my machine is not powerful enough to do it. Watching this series is letting it really sink in for me. What would your minimum recommendation be for buying a new Mig welder that is capable of spray welding? Not talking about manufacturer brand just amperage and voltage requirements. Thank you

If my volts are hi do I need to use shade 11 ?

May I suggest calling it axial spray transfer? Just to avoid confusion with pulse spray. Not that I know as much as you do, just my understanding of nomenclature. Good video!

Hi,Bob, I have a 1/2" steel plate that is weed to a square tube support frame. The plate has a bend in it on an edge. We want to flatten the plate by filling bend with weld, would you recommend this type of welding to fill that or would some other process work better? What about metal powder spray welding?

You can buy a nozzle for flux core that just holds the tip on

Yes, you can do OH welds.

That was cool, even though it was too hot for up hill, it was cool! Why was it popping like it was? Thank you for another excellent presentation.

I like that weld jacket. Where might I find one?

Hello, great Video. Greetings from Austria 👋

Could you do a video on vertical up spray arc?

In the motion of your welding, is the arc momentarily short circuiting, as I can hear the crackle on the backward motion? Thanks. Man, I wish I had your demeanor when teaching, so practical, straight forward which reduces anxiety.

thank you
