Hi All,
I am new to welding and have a few basic questions. I am using a MillerMatic 210 with .030 solid wire and 75/25 gas. All material is mild steel. When I want to weld materials I open the side cover of the machine and look at the chart for my wire speed and power settings. But I have two situations that the chart does not address.
1.If I want to weld a 1/8” wall pipe to a 1/4” thick flange should I use the values for 1/8” or 1/4” thick material or a combination of both or just a different technique. When metals are this thick does it matter? At what differences in thickness does it mater?
2.If I want to weld .046” thick sheet metal to 1/8” thick walled tubes do I set the machine up for 1/8” thick and then just keep the weld puddle on the 1/8” thick material mostly and just let the very edge of the puddle contact the .046” thick material.
Thanks
