Welding Wire Size Chart

Welding Wire Size Chart - It has a cold feed switch that runs the wire without energizing the gun. When i would test a structural welder on 1/2 plate, i would have him tack it up by putting a 1/8 6010 rod under each plate at the weld bevel so the plates had a backward v slant of about 10 degrees. Looks like they may be an authorized lincoln dealer since they had lincoln welding machines also. I tried a piece of thin gauge, dont know what it was, but very thin (it was the case frame of a microwave) and even at 40 amps it disintegrated. A brand i had never heard of (started with a k xxxx )was $19.99 for 2# roll. I concluded it is top quality. I was welding cleats on 1/8” metal posts using 1/8” e6013 rods at 120a on 110v (only because i didn’t have the right plug for 220v off that generator).

I concluded it is top quality. The welder is able to run.030 and.035 wire. After welding up the single v bevel the plates would be flat due to the compression of the weld metal when cooling. It would feed rapidly but when i pressed the gun trigger it just creeped out at maybe 2 in 5 seconds.

If my chart is right, 20 gauge is just.032 thick, he is going to need lots of practice to weld that. Obviously quality and performance can differ. Every wire manufacturer puts out a spec sheet, usually in pdf format, that lists the proper voltage and wfs combinations to use with that wire. When i would want use one wire vs the other? Looks like they may be an authorized lincoln dealer since they had lincoln welding machines also. What was amazing, the lincoln wire was $13.99 for 2# spool.

Lincoln and hobart are common examples. I was welding cleats on 1/8” metal posts using 1/8” e6013 rods at 120a on 110v (only because i didn’t have the right plug for 220v off that generator).

It has a cold feed switch that runs the wire without energizing the gun. I went ahead and tried it and it speeded up nicely when the arc was struck but even on max wire feed and max amps it still is much slower than my titanium 125. I learned this lesson the hard way and my fcaw welds are as smooth as butter now. After welding up the single v bevel the plates would be flat due to the compression of the weld metal when cooling.

When i would want use one wire vs the other? I'm relatively new to welding, just bought a cheap titanium flux 125, and i'm really happy with it so far. I learned this lesson the hard way and my fcaw welds are as smooth as butter now. What was amazing, the lincoln wire was $13.99 for 2# spool.

The Smallest Wire I Have Is 3/32 And I Really Never Thought Of Using.030 Mig Wire But That Could.

I tried a piece of thin gauge, dont know what it was, but very thin (it was the case frame of a microwave) and even at 40 amps it disintegrated.

Obviously quality and performance can differ. Is there general guide lines for when to use different size wires?
