Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), also known as Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding is the best welding process for many different applications. This tutorial provides the solution to a very common MIG welding problem beginners face. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Clear, concise, expert advice. Rare today. Thanks Tim.
I need to weld some 10mm steel plate to 2mm steel tubing so this video helps alot. Thanks again and keep up the good work
Building a go cart, looks like a fun project, plus the use of a welder is a definite plus.
I built a box for usps to ship out my package so I don't have to drive all the way there and they just pick it up nearest usps is 15-20 min away was practice for my gokart lol
Thank you again Sir…… great demonstration and explanation ✅
Straight to the point. Thanks!
Much appreciate this and all of your vids. It never occurred to me to just pull away a bit from the thin material but keep the same 45 degree angle. I've been changing my angle and pointing my gun more toward the thick material and less towards the thin. I'll definitely give your method a try.
You are very extraordinary in our profession in this welding field. You are smart and a capable tool
Great video as always great presentation with clear concise explanations, thanks very much for sharing
Great video. Another good tip to have in my toolbox. This is much easier than moving the torch
Another fantastic video all ways look forward to your videos really educational and helpful Thankyou.
Yet another amazingly clear video. Thank you Tim 🥳
Man I really can appreciate how well u explain it. It makes perfect sense now i see it. I have had a little small couple brackets I had to make for my jeep and was having problems. I've never had to do it since everything is usually the same thickness I've had in the past. Thanks I'm a new subscriber.
Start my first day as a welder tomorrow. Your series has helped tremendously, thanks man
hows it going 3 months later? still at it?
Year later update!
Man I can't wait to see the go cart build I've wanted to build one for awhile
I just had to figure this all out yesterday. Another great video.
Looking forward to my journey with welding. Your channel is very informative and I'm glad you have a course that helps beginners. Although I am getting training on the job, it's going to be very helpful to have the knowledge on your videos. 🙏
Thanks Tim for the pull back tip.
Great video Tim!
Thanks Tim! This has been a big question for me.
Thank you ... the BEST explanation on the internet !!!
Thank you so much I am trying to learn some welding techniques God bless you
Thanks for that great tip. Now I won't be so hesitant with that thinner stock.
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS BRO!
Great video. Thanks
nice video tim
Can you make a video for stick welding thin material

He already has one
Run the small rod diameter on the lower amp settings, increase your rod angle drastically (play with this a little until you get comfortable) travel kinda fast. Just a few things that will help.
You’ll find a few vids on my channel where I do this. I agree with DOGLEG’s tips and would just add that changing your polarity to electrode negative can help sometimes.
I am really interested in a go cart build on a budget my wife loved the flower planter that you guided us through will the go cart build be along those same lines? Cause your guidance is always fun and easy to follow
Tim, please create a quiz following your sessions for viewers to engage, Thank you
Thanks Tim very helpfull to me point taken ,jimmy Aust
Nice one
A go kart project? Hell yeah I'm in!
Thank you Sir again can u show overhead welding?
Cool stuff would just like mention as a seasoned welder guys when the horizontal is the thin stuff its a whole different beast be careful when you end the weld starting it and running it is okay but if your not careful on terminating the weld you will get undercut. Normally I drop a it back a tiny bit more in this situation eg 10 to 10mm ill blast 270-280 amps all the way but 10mm to 3mm ill put about 245-255 if I can stand it upright thick at the bottom but if the 3mm is horizontal I'll blast it about 240 amps but make sure the volts are above 26
Great
Good welding , thanks share with video .We can working with you .wire
I was having difficulty with this same issue on an aluminum boat but it was flat not a T joint. Would the welding process be the same?
Hi. A very informative video.
I’m looking to weld a rectangular 2mm wall box section frame to a bicycle head set after I have ground off the exiting frame that is connected to it.
If I leave the existing weld in place tided and ground to 1mm thick so that the wall thickness of 1mm is now 2mm and equal to the box section would this be ok so I could weld centrally and avoid have to weld offset as explained in your video. I ask as I’m OK at welding equal thickness materials but not so good at welding different thickness materials as shown.
Thanks in advance.
Can you do the same thing with flux core?
Hi Tim, great tips in the video.
As an amateur I have enough trouble keeping a straight line when butting two tubes to form a tee. The bicycle head set I’m welding is 1mm and the main tube is 2mm. I’m told if I insert a spare section of 1mm tube snuggly into the 1mm tube I’m welding this will form a heat sink and reduce the likelihood of me blowing through the 1mm tube if welding on a setting for 2mm steel when keeping the torch centrally positioned between both pieces.
Is this correct or wishful thinking. Someone said place a damp rag packed into the thinner tube will also dissipate the excess heat.
Thanks,
Bob.
So obviously the bolt is fairly thick so how did you determine the settings based on the bolt size? Thanks
What is the difference between stick vs MIG welding on structural steel?
Hello brother, a variety of gas used for MiG weld, is it CO2 gas or argon gas. Thank you
Were can I fine you
Hi ... what's the settings?
i want to use wire without gas which wire do i use? what's it called?
sir how to avoid a cold start at the weld at the start and lack of fusion at the end of the weld. I am trying to join a 1.2mm mild steel sheet to an 8mm mild steel sheet..the path of the welding is half the shape of a rectangle due to the welding path I have to make this weld in two steps from right to center and left to center.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼🍺😎
Have you used 25’ thicker extension cord for outside flux welding?
I believe the settings would have to go lower than Chart I was having problem with it burning threw.
Thanks! I use extension cords all the time, but mine are pretty beefy.
@@TimWelds when you use them do you have to turn the power down?
👍👍👍
🤔🤔🤔
Lol I been just teaching myself to weld and now know what the fuck IPM mean lol
✌️
The real deal like Evander Holyfield but for welding instructors
If I ever weld Thinner to thicker steel I only use no gas flux cored wire with the shroud removed as it not needed with gas wire..I always apply heat to the thick steel and use the weld pool from the thick steel to melt the Thinner steel so they melt together..any one with common sense would know this technique..I'm no expert welder but common sense prevails..yours sincerely from the old qeer corrupt uk 🇬🇧
Sends me yours location
Worst advice.
