Hello All.
I apologize in advance for my English.
Thanks to the authors of the site and forum participants for a very correct and interesting information.
For body repair I bought a welder Helvi Panther 152. I am very happy
According to the website, I decided to buy a gas bottle with a mix of argon and carbon dioxide. Very long sought for us in Russia very difficult to find. But I found a bottle. The problem appeared with the gas reducer for these cylinders. Just spent a lot of time looking for him, and it was not in vain.
As a result, I have a complete set of welding machine with two gas cylinders (a mixture of argon 86% + CO2 14% and net CO2)
I liked to use a mixture of gases argon and CO2. Pure CO2 gas has not given a smooth weld seam as a mixture of gas.
Before you begin to repair the body, I have done several projects for training and education. The project was implemented in a relatively indoors and has in my view good results. The welding seam was qualitative. But when I moved the welding machine to the car and proceeded to weld, the quality of the seam I was very upset. And most importantly, as I have not tried, I could not get a quality weld.
I used to set the voltage, welding wire feed speed / current, the amount of gas. The thickness of the metal, which I welded 1 mm. Welding wire 0.8 mm.
I think the problem is that I am not very well cleaned metal for welding.
Next time I'll clean the metal very carefully.
Thank you all.
sotn.
P.S.
Sorry for the quality of photos, pictures on the camera mobile phone
The next time will be high-quality pictures... I promise.
