mig like tig again

[brokenbiker]

You may laugh but have you thought of using a metronome?

No, but I can see how it could help

 

[Freddy0309]

It honestly helped me with stainless you can download an app which lets you chose the beats per minute

 

[Richard.]

Come on now. We need to start seeing some pics Bb of the results.

i will do once i get back out...its raining like there is no tomorrow at the moment...supposed to be dry tomorrow though so fingers crossed

 

[matt1978]

Don't over think it.

Just practise and the practise some more, you'll soon find a rhythm

 

[Wozzaaah]

 

[Welderpaul]

Yeah, stop talking, get on with it and post some pics or we'll lock your thread

 

[Richard.]

It's gonna happen.
I've not seen many pics on broken bikers threads.
Don't be a wuss. Get out in the rain and get some weavy wavy stuff going with that mig.

 

[Miggy89]

[brokenbiker]

I do this all the time tho I did not know it was called Mig like Tig. Brilliant technique for thin sheet. The trick is getting your next pulse on before the previous one has cooled also a but more power required than straight welding the sheet one maybe even two stops. I do this so often it has become second nature.

that is the thin metal technique...not mig like tig...the overall weld looks similar at times but the mig like tig method is one continuous run not a series of tacks

Gt6s. To what pulse are you referring?Machine or trigger? One of the foremost users of this method. ZT Fab. States no pulse from either machine or trigger and lower settings than normal. Have you any photographs to show your results please.

Trigger I never use the pulse function on the mig I tried it when I got the machine new 25 years ago never tried it again Apart from that I have not had Mig fired up in ages And I don/t have any photos handy. But I am certain I can find plenty to photograph (Monday) on a spaceframe chassis I have. Tho its a bit surface rusty now.

It is not a series of tacks you hit the trigger before the previous pulse has cooled. Have also used on heavier material many times.

Why would you use that technique on heavier material?

 

[gt6s]

Why would you use that technique on heavier material?

Because it's very tidy. Flush !

Only to the inexperienced and the misinformed, in a proper fabshop you would be cutting it out and rewelding it properly.

Couple of taps with a 20oz should do the trick. Fusion would probably be non existent.

I can assure you it creates an extremely well penetrated weld. Been welding from ten years of age. Started with MIG forty years ago at age of seventeen. END OFF !
