I could be wrong but Wire Speed and Amperage is the same thing. What you meant to say was Wire Speed and Volts? This is where the synergy comes in. It keeps the wire Speed and the volts synergic together. Amps in MIG welding are the same thing as your wire speed. As crazy as that sounds. But yeah.
@justinlambert244710 ай бұрын
I find the synergic mode choosing mild steel material thickness over 1/8", is way too hot, is there a way to adjust the presets? 210 thickness, not quite 1/4", sets wire speed to 550, and 27.6 V, I adjust it down to about 450 wire speed, 22-23V and it seems about right. Otherwise very impressive machine.

That V12 Miata Bruh unless it’s a HTP Pro Pulse, Miller 350P or a fronuis most likely you need a spool gun. These 3 use mig whip torches to push aluminum for welding.
@ThatV12MiataBruh6 жыл бұрын
Welding Junkie here's the thing. The salesman told me that if I want to do aluminum, he will make me a 5 foot torch so that the aluminum wire will feed through nicely but there are no settings on the machine that seem to relate to switching over for aluminum welding
@weldingjunkie6 жыл бұрын
That V12 Miata Bruh technically you don’t need any setting for it that’s just synergic that has them. A 5ft torch might work depends on the drive roll system, Teflon liner etc. a 8ft torch will also work. Here’s the catch it can be done but not easy and hard to work with. Plus the tips typically have to be high heat tips or you’ll melt them. I’ve used it in non alum set up welders in the past. I wouldn’t bother with your machine. I like pulse aluminum. But bottom line is you don’t need a specific setting any mig “can” run the wire.
@ThatV12MiataBruh6 жыл бұрын
Welding Junkie I'm not concerned about the torch setup. I just want to know if there are settings I gotta change on the machine like when TIG welding aluminum its changed from DC to AC. My MIG machine is a dedicated MIG and my other machine is a dedicated TIG machine.
@mikeduhm53256 жыл бұрын
That V12 Miata Bruh setup is like steel, same polarity 100 percent argon gas. Without knowing the machine, is a spoolgun available? Aluminum uses a higher wire speed and voltage compared to same wire size and thickness on steel. For example with a Miller 252 and spoolgun with 4043 wire, about 20 volts and 360 ipm using .035 wire on 1/8" aluminum. More heat and faster travel speed than steel.

That's one of the major problems with guys welding car frames building trailers and such . They start with the mig and have 0 skills or training, so away they go, great if it's on the flat, haven't a clue how to do vertical up, everything is down hand . Start out on a stick machine people learn how to set your machine, how manipulate the weld puddle in each position. Get the basics down and then give the old wire feed a go, welding was a two year course and out of those two years one week was dedicated to mig welding. That tells it all doesn't it, you can teach a monkey too run a wire feed, next time you hear about trailer being towed down a major highway and ending up causing a serious accident due to poor inconsistent welding, take heed wannabe welders cause lawsuits follow !

You got the skills, hard earned, which is great. However, that does not automatically mean that someone who hasn't put in the time can't do as well a job on the welds they do* - they don't generally need overhead, for example, or are welding critical sections and, even then, there are some very skilled and capable self taught people who actually care about learning. Here, certification is required for welders building heavy trailers and towing equipment and where it isn't, the work has to be checked and certified - still get failures, though, and a lot of those are due to subsequent damage, abuse and plain stupidity on the part of the user. Some, however is due to plain shoddy work by supposed expert welders, design engineers and certification of the completed work - been two instances where a certifier has had their authority recinded and vehicles ordered to stop towing until recertified by an authorised authority. *During your training, you will recall some who could just 'do it' right from the start and others who struggled and barely made it through.
@-tr0n6 жыл бұрын
Mig is easy, that's why it exists. It's also easy to end up with a great looking weld with zero penetration. I agree that people should learn to weld via stick or oxy for proper puddle control and positional welding, and that's how all of our welding courses are designed, but not everyone needs a 7 month 6 hour a day course like I had to take.

With forty years in this business I've seen many people kicked down the road for not having the basics down . Just saying ! Have a splendid day won't ya !
