Just when you think you're done...wait, there is more..lol Group: Members Posts: 10,219 Joined: 21-September 06 From: Seattle, WA... actually Everett Member No.: 6,884 Region Association: Pacific Northwest |
So I am welding in the Tangerine Racing inner consol reinforcement. If I have the welder set on three it doesn't bite into the ear. If I have it set on four it bites but it blows holes in the new piece. I was able to get two holes filled and they are definitely welded on. However, I am wanting to know before I do more if going on the four setting will be right and not damage anything. Three just doesn't seem to cut it.

not that simple. teh wire speed and voltage must match teh conditions. use teh guide as posted. back off on wire speed by 10%. your suspension ear is rusted from teh inside. the rust is iron oxide. teh oxigen expands violently. the pop blows the molten puddle away. I think the tiny spot welds to build up some material will be teh trick for you. welding to rusty metal is never text book proceedure.
the extension cord will make your welder put out less power on teh #4 setting but amperage will increase proprotionately...maybe, try it. my Miller digital welder is not fooled by such shenanigans. |
