How to weld thin metal tubing by stick welding.

[@hementdaya8082]

Can we use fiber filler for sealing the sides that's not welded ?

.060, 1/16 inch tubing is the smallest I've ever stick welded without pulsing Other tricks you can try are running DCEN, keeping a tight arc (reduces voltage), and just moving fast. Weld flat if you can. You can make short runs without overheating, it almost acts like aluminum in that you have to start moving very quickly as the material heats up.

20 gauge is thin, I can only weld a continuous bead if I run it down, even then one wrong move and you blow a hole. I just wind up running tack welds, keeping gun real close. 16 gauge is doable

thickness 1.7mm is copnsider quite thick. I normally used thickness 1.0mm or 1.2mm

1.7 mm is not thin. Thin metal is 0.5 mm.
