How to (Flux Core) MIG Weld THIN Sheet Metal The (EZ WAY)

[@ronh2889]

How to stop blowing holes. Turn the volts up, wire feed down they said.....turn the volts down, wire speed up they said.... You Sir, has given the most expert solution. Thank-you

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you, I hope it helps!!!!

[@luckyPiston]

Here Dude: In MIG welding (Metal Inert Gas welding), the wire feed speed (WFS) directly controls the amperage of the weld. This relationship is fundamental to how a MIG welder operates. Here’s how it works: How Wire Speed Controls Amperage: Wire Speed and Arc Length: In MIG welding, a continuous wire electrode is fed through the welding gun and into the weld pool to maintain the arc and deposit filler material. The wire feed speed (WFS), measured in inches per minute (IPM) or millimeters per minute (mm/min), dictates how fast the wire is fed into the arc. As the wire feeds into the arc, it melts, and the molten metal fuses with the base material. Wire Speed Determines Amperage: The more wire fed into the arc (i.e., the higher the wire feed speed), the higher the current (amperage) needed to melt that wire. This is because the welder must supply more electrical energy to melt the increased volume of wire being fed into the weld pool. Conversely, reducing the wire feed speed reduces the amount of wire in the arc, and thus the amperage decreases. Self-Regulating Arc: The arc length remains relatively constant due to the self-regulating nature of MIG welding. If the wire speed increases and pushes more wire into the weld pool, the arc gets shorter, increasing the current to melt the wire faster. This keeps the arc length consistent. If the wire feed slows down, the arc length increases slightly, reducing the current, but the arc still stabilizes to maintain a consistent weld. Amperage vs. Voltage: Amperage is determined by wire feed speed, as explained. Voltage, on the other hand, is set manually on the welder and controls the arc length and heat input into the weld. Voltage influences the weld bead shape, penetration, and spatter. Practical Example: If you're welding with a low wire feed speed, the welder provides less amperage to melt the smaller amount of wire, resulting in less heat and a smaller weld bead. If you increase the wire feed speed, the welder increases the amperage to provide more heat to melt the faster-fed wire, producing more penetration and a larger weld bead. Summary: In MIG welding, wire feed speed controls how fast the wire enters the weld pool. The faster the wire feeds, the more current is required to melt the wire, so increasing the wire speed increases amperage, and decreasing the wire speed decreases amperage. This relationship allows the welder to adjust the weld's strength, penetration, and heat input by controlling wire feed speed while voltage settings influence arc characteristics. By fine-tuning both wire speed (for amperage control) and voltage, welders can achieve optimal results depending on the material and welding position.

It is fun to watch people who are used to gas Mig when they first try flux core. They are always surprised how well it welds, flat welds and can gap fill. They have all listened to the negative stories about gasless and then when they try it, yes it is different, but with practice it is as good as gas mig AND cheaper as you dont need to buy gas. Think of it as miniature stick welding with a continuous stick feed , you can use it outside cos there is no gas to blow away. It also WILL weld onto metal that is a little rusty , it doesnt need to be factory clean metal. Any doubts, look at Bondo Billy youtube channel.

[@lawncuttingplusdelta]

Buddy you nailed it ….. I’m new to it and learned to use extra stick out to reduce heat on super thin stuff …. For autobody it ain’t gotta be pretty. 👍🏻💪🏻

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Yeah its pretty cool process!

[@2pist]

Gas gets expensive if you do much welding. The yeswelder flux core wire is about as good as it gets.

[@lonniehall9006]

@@2pist I like the blue demon and Hobart the best, and Arccaptain is good too. Kentucky

[@JRsVsO]

Hell, the wire that came with my warcking works great. And it's easy like his machine to swap between polarity by just swapping the + and - on the front of machine, unlike a lot of other more expensive units where you have to go inside the cover and unscrew the wires.

[@leetotty7703]

I've used flux core quite a bit on sheet metal, mostly18 to 20 guage, on a mid 70's Pontiac firebird. The key is patience. That table he's welding on is acting as a backing plate, which is something I highly recommend, when practical. This guy is right,dont buy into all the hype on flux core. If all you have is a cheap flux core machine, use it, practice, experiment with different brands of wire, try different settings , you'll be surprised at how good your welds will look the more time you spend with your welder. It's not the machine , it's the person using it...

Currently I need to weld a bunch of 1/2" EMT (19GA) and this video has really helped me be more successful than when I first did a couple test welds. Running compressed air through the tubing while welding was a game changer for me! Keeps it a lot cooler and less blow-through 🥰

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you, yeah that 22 was tough. I haven't done a ton of flux core on body work, how ever I have 20 plus years using sheilded solid core mig on body work lol. Thank you for watching!!!!

[@luckyPiston]

That welder has inductance (the third dial) control you could have used that and softened up your arc and possibly ran a bead .

[@ACDesignsGarage]

I haven't played with that feature that much. I need to!!!

[@mattwarrensocal]

I used for body work on a Chevy van. I expected it to be 20 gauge panels but I swear some were 24 gauge. I did but joints but if I did it again I would lap it (as Lakeside Autobody suggests) to get a thicker surface to weld. I think the backing of the table provided some cooling or stabilization - it might be a different animal if open air behind. Your tip about where to start the tack is great - may have made my work easier!

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thanks for watching, this flux core can be challenging, it can be done. I will say solid core sheilded gas makes life sooooo much easier. As for lapping pannels, the only problem ive seen with at is any time you lap metal together. There is a chance for dirt and moisture to get in between and rust it out. Also the other is you can't stretch the metal back out when you hammer and dolly the joint. The advantage of lapping is its stronger and easier to weld. Ive been building custom muscle cars and hot rods for 20 years doing all sheet metal and paint and body. Just a little friendly tip. Thanks for watching!!!

[@garychandler4296]

Saw a guy use a copper block on the back side as a heat sink, that was cool, no pun intended!

[@davee6458]

Thanks for all the tips, I weld outside so I have to use gasless flux wire. One thing I noticed u installed 0.35 wire on the welder, but you wrote 0.30 on the project. 🤔

[@EdgeofEternityBillCameron]

Hi brother, thank you for this video. I almost never flux core weld, but I find myself using it now on 1/2” galvanized conduit. I clean off the galvanized with my surface conditioner tool and fit the joints as best I can. Still getting lumpy welds and an occasional blow through. I’m tacking but not the same way you are. I’m going to go out in the shop and try laying my angle lower like you suggest and let the wire drag itself across the joint. I appreciate all of the advice and techniques you shared. Remember, Jesus loves you and so do I 🙏✝️

[@ACDesignsGarage]

I think that will work Brother, treat it like things sheet metal and you'll do fine. That stuff is tough to weld for sure!!!! Loved your message on water to wine last week!!

[@rafaelreyes4251]

Hello, thank you for sharing your knowledge, I am new to the subject of welding, I am learning a little from the videos I watch on KZbin, I am trying to do a restoration on my old car that I bought, but I am confused since you say that if you weld two metal sheets it is better that there is no space between them. They are very close together, but in another video I watched they say that it is better to leave a small opening, the gauge of the sheet I am using is 18 gauge. Thanks for sharing, I really hope you can answer my question. thank you.😊

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Every one has there own way of doing this, I guess its preference, but mine comes from 20 plus years of doing restoration and custom painting. Not to say a gap is wrong, but it does give more of a chance of warping because it gives the metal a place to move. What metal does as you weld it ,it shrinks. Its like pinching the center of a piece of paper the it wrinkles all around the outside, you should try that. Paper works alot like sheet metal. Ill put a link below of a fender that I repaired and made my own patch pannel from scratch. Hope this helps. Ill put 2 videos below. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6HHd4Fvmctof7ssi=3w5K0wwZm2yIyTbF kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWfWoY2ar9Z5rsksi=wIWpONmw8F-p7GlL

[@AlbertAC54]

Instead of welding each pinhole once you have that good strong sorta-continuous weld, what do you think about giving the thing a grind, hammer and dolly, and then just soft solder the pinholes?

[@Group_Anonymous]

[@joshuatran3667]

I have been watching a lot of videos on this topic and none of them goes into the minute details anout welding techniques. Like what angle to hold the gun, do you start by putting the tip of the wire on the sheet before squeezing the trigger, hold the gun down because you are going to feel some initial pushback etc. I envy the author for having such a flat penetrating weld but mine has the globs all over. Not sure what i am doing wrong.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

You can let it touch, mine is probably 1/8" or 3mm off the metal then squeeze the trigger. Maybe try turning up the volts or turning down the wire feed speed. Just do one at a time. If the wire starts spitting and sputtering add a lil more wire speed. If it starts burning back in the tip turn down the volts ,also your contact tip should be no more than 1/2" from the metal. Hope this helps!!!

[@ErnestDoleman]

15 AK mig ceramic flux core nozzle should work for that gun from Amazon

[@2pist]

When I run electrode positive I get less splatter but the bead is tall. It has terrible penetration. The other way I get tons of splatter but the weld is flatter and doesn't round up on the edges. I checked the polarity with a multimeter and it was correct. I can't figure it out.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Here is my latest video it has tips to help with the spatter and more. Electrode negitave is the only way ive ever use flux. Get you some anti spatter spray and coat the area your going to weld then it just wipes off. Also i linked all the good stuff in the video ill link below. The yeswelder wire will help also.

Greetings AC, thanks for sharing your knowledge on the process of welding thin metal. I purchased my Arccaptain mig200 about a month ago and have had moderate success using .030 flux wire on 26 gauge sheet metal. I am thinking with the additional info you have taught me it will take me to another level. Most of my experience in welding has been with heavy structural steel over the past 30 years. Retired know I wanted to take my welding to a whole new level. I have worked with many welder over the years and find this welder to be quite impressive so far. I did find out from another youtuber that Harbor Freight's FCAW GASLESS NOZZLE 2 PK SKU 63795 fits the Mig200 torch like a glove. Have a great day.

FWIW if you have one of those portable lithium spot welders (automatic type, which detects closed circuit and releases huge charge after half a second) you can tack really thin metals together for soldering/brazing later if welding is too difficult. They're actually designed for tacking nickel strips to lithium battery packs' terminals, but I got them to work on .4mm sheet metal in lap joint.

Quality of wire is important, junk like "Horrible Fate" Vulcan is awful compared to Lincoln E-71T-11 or Hobart . I run a Lincoln 90i FC and on 20g have no problem running a normal bead, got to crank it down as far as possible move fast and support the two pieces as best possible. butt joints are difficult, if you need a level surface, use a flanger like what is used in body sheet metal work and lap joint it, then you can profile the bead flat. FC get's a bad rap because most people don't understand the prossees. Lincoln Electric has an excellent knowledge base article on FC, it's more geared towards big wire like what's used in shipyards and steel building construction. but the principles are the same. Something else that has an impact is moisture and your wire, keep spools in plastic bag's with dessacant packs in them, I also run a big one inside the wire compartment, it's has a blue spot that turns pink (put it in the microwave a few seconds and reactivate the pouch) otherwise remove the spool when not using it and put it in a sealed dry container.

How to weld video: takes 26 min to get a tac on. End of the video: first time using flux core🤷‍♂️

You can fast foward?? Maybe Im a fast learner.

That’s a heel dolly. (Looks like the heel of a dress shoe.)

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Those are my favorites, best all around!!!!

Some very good information at the end of half the video wasted on how to setup your specific welder for flux core. I watched your video to learn how to flux core weld thin sheet, not how to setup your welder to flux core settings. Concentrate on your subject matter, and leave the setup stuff for a different video.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you, I try to make these videos for everyone to learn from beginners to pro, you can always fast foward lol

[@NFAtoys]

@@ACDesignsGarage yes, I could simply fast forward the video if I was aware of the fact that a 45 minute video on welding thin sheet metal, was actually a 19 minute video on the subject. Your video title is misleading. I hope you can take some constructive criticism.

[@MikeHilbig-t5r]

Making repairs on thin rusty metal is the worst, as it simply vaporizes instead of welding. Can't seem to do anything but blow giant holes on thin rusty crap metal. Welding good metal is way easier.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

I 100%agree, I like new sheet metal for sure!!!

[@ropo772]

You dont remove slag as you go? Dirty weld!

Flux core is not MIG welding.... like in the title. The 2 don't belong in the same sentence....

[@ACDesignsGarage]

I understand that, it's how you have to do on youtube to get your content out there.

[@danteespino1338]

and yaaah just like every wannabe bloggers vlogger.. invest on a decent camera stand to avoid having viewers throwing up cuz we are all getting dizzy with the camera movements

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thanks for watching!
