Done this type of welding for almost 17 years before I switched form a structural shop to a fab shop. Two different worlds and lots to learn about fabrication. This took me back.

Thanks for watching👍

[@craigdonaldson6308]

Miss heavy structural! Love welding it, especially the full pen welds!!!!

[@thebiker2655]

What amps and wire are you running

[@nkaltso]

Nice push with a lot of heat, good work

[@TheMetalFabGuy]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@mikebryan544]

Im just surprised how slow you move the torch. I only have a little 180amp mig and thought these big welders would really throw the beads down. Im only watching as i was wondering about welding a steel framed garage up, but think ill leave it to the pros. Nice video

[@phillhuddleston9445]

Wider beads equals more material being laid down, he is not running real hot it doesn't look like so the wire feed rate probably is not as high as it could be.

[@jyip4436]

Nice job, can you share us your MIG setup working parameters on the voltage , wire speed, amperage and shield gas info?

[@jerryserrano5062]

Have you thought about putting a welding lens on the camera so we can see

[@VypaGaming]

What settings u running here?

[@troyhollingsworth1320]

Hey I really like your work, but I think, the inside of the flanges should be welded before the top of the flange

[@TheMetalFabGuy]

Thanks for watching, and also your feedback Troy.

[@mandylad]

good job....tidy welding..

[@plummetplum]

Is that a 203x203x46kg/m ? How strong are the welds compared to the steel and do uou have a way of testing the integrity of the weld?

[@jasondu9855]

It’s so great to watch your video. Wonderful work!!! May I ask you a question about how many faces / corner do we need weld in order to keep the structural stable ? After watching your video, I just found there is one flange corner/ below one flange( I am not sure how to describe where it is precisely) you have not welded. Does it matter?

[@TheMetalFabGuy]

Thanks for watching. It would be fully welded. At this stage it may have been a part completion.

[@jasondu9855]

@@TheMetalFabGuy One more question, Since 2015, I have a small factory in china about 2000 square meter, in total 55 I beams as , I just found that there are only two or three I beams not fully welded one month ago. When I ask construction team they told me it’s ok, do not worry at all. Then I start searching for the information online, finally got here. The video you post as I mentioned before very similar with my factory beams weld status. So I am wondering do I need repair? And How much risk influnece for not fully welded two or three beams out of 55 connection? If possible may I send some photo( not fully welded beams) to u ? This message sent from Chengdu, china. Thx in advance~ Jason Du

[@TheMetalFabGuy]

@jasondu9855 if it’s been in place since 2015 (at least) and you have no issues thus far, or are not planning to adapt, or add extra weight to the existing structure, then i see little reason to be concerned 9 years later. My Personal opinion. Though you should always consult a structural engineer for confirmation. Loads and capabilities (including welding spec) to ensure all is well.

[@jasondu9855]

@@TheMetalFabGuySincerely appreciate your help~ THX for your advice! help me a lot!!!

[@cob705]

If I needed some large structural sheet gates installed, what would a welder charge to fabricate the gate posts $$ ??

[@TheMetalFabGuy]

Hi, Thanks for watching. I’d contact some fabricator welders local to you to get a few quotes. Would depend upon sizes/weights of post and their individual overheads.

[@bobt5002]

Great looking work metal fab guy what part of the world are you in?

[@TheMetalFabGuy]

Thanks Bob. The UK. And You?

Why push on thick material?

[@phillhuddleston9445]

@Juan Ramirez True but I question the weld penetration you get from pushing, trying to get it straight, between pulling and pushing will give the best penetration.

[@lowtonforge6333]

What wire and gas you run?

[@TheMetalFabGuy]

80/20 0.8

[@LordButterstotch]

Crank that wire speed up and she'll be happier, usually around 27v / 375-400wfs You're cranking 29v at 170ish wfs?

[@marineworks2423]

amperage setting?

[@Fibercraft]

Hi just subscribed, what type and size mig are you using.Thanks 🇧🇧

[@TheMetalFabGuy]

Hi, thanks for the sub Carrington Group. The welder here is an oerlikon 300 amp air cooled mig. Please see kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZSrkIBoe7dln8k and comments for further info

[@pakistangeographicchannel529]

what is the thickness of filler wire? please guide us

[@TheMetalFabGuy]

If I remember correctly it’s .8

[@erikprimmer4567]

Settings?

[@Patrick-in7ez]

0:41. Gas fail!

[@eduardfrazao3506]

We never used mig weld only flus core or 7028 3/32

[@bobbyledford1957]

need a camera behind a hood. cant see chit

[@13woj13]

Take off the scale you get much better welds

[@carof08]

You don't need to with metalcore

[@MichaelSmith-dv5ye]

You are so right.

[@godfreypoon5148]

Hmmm yeah probably not gonna fall off.

[@majorrgeek]

this welder doesn't like laying dimes
