Following advice from all yesterday, and also discovering a fault with the instructions on my welder, I did some more practice today. Again, opinions and advice welcome
I'm using 0.8mm mild steel. 1mm gap between two halves of a butt weld. 0.6mm wire thickness
Welder setup: 16V 4.3 m/min 25CuFt/Hr
Front side
Rear side:
Forgive lack of a straight line - haven't quite got that yet.
But does the penetration seem right now?
Also, can anyone say why I'm getting those black marks to the left of the weld line?
Thanks in advance
