Hi All
I'm attempting to do some welding on my car having never welded before. I purchased an AutoStar 160 welder (same as a Jasic 160) and have practiced.
Thing is, I don't think my welds are achieving enough penetration. I'm using 0.6mm wire, 16V and 6 m/min wire speed. My gas is set to 25 cuft/hr
Here's are some tacks on the front of a butt weld using 0.8mm mild steel:
And here's the reverse side:
And here's the reverse side after I've joined up the tacks:
I do have more images so please ask if they'd be useful.
I'm seeking opinions and advice on this welding.
Thanks in advance
