Excelling in MIG Welding

MIG Welding is prevalent and very popular method of welding used in the industry.
While welders have become adept at using it, here’s a few technical tips to increase the efficiency and overall output while using MIG welding.

The best way of doing better at MIG welding is to run beads. And that can be done with a Tee joint. A simple tee joint allows you to run the bead straight by following the seam while ensuring each bead overlaps the previous one, halfway.

Some types of Tees:
SHORT CIRCUIT MIG UPHILL TEE
This type of tee needs gun manipulation for penetration and to avoid excessive convexity. In short, if you don’t do something to let the bead lay down flat, it may hump. Well, this is just a characte-ristic of this type of tee. But then, this happens because of the gravity.

You can either make use of an upside-down V technique or simply use triangles for metal spread out as welding without torch movement generally results in crowned bead.

OVERHEAD TEE JOINT DRILL
This should be done by using similar settings that are used for flat or horizontal positions. Just that don’t set the machine colder as that can cause puddle. Instead, use a hot setting as that usually works better.

SHORT CIRCUIT MIG 3G PLATE TEST
Typically, a short circuit MIG weld test is 3/8” thick plate test done with 30-37.5-degree bevels. Here, the roots pass is welded downhill, whereas the fill and cap are done uphill. As for the number of weld passes, it depends on the individual welder.

MIG WELDING THIN WALL TUBING
If you need to fabricate things from thin wall tubing, MIG welding is the ultimate. The best practices for the same are as follows;

• Ensure the ground is good enough;
• Keep the stickout short;
• Watch out the gun angle;
