Flux cored wire question?

admin

I just bought a used Millermatic 130XP that is set up for flux cored wire. I have never used flux cored wire before. Can anyone give me any insight on using this type of wire and any special precautions or procedures that should be followed. I have used a lot of MIG in the past just not any flux cored.
Reply:First thing: Electrode Negative.  It welds sort of like rod.  Works pretty good, penetrates better than bare wire with gas.  Burn some then ask questions.David Real world weldin.  When I grow up I want to be a tig weldor.
Reply:David told you right. I use a lot of it and it works quite well. It doesn't like to be pushed very well.The difference between art and craft is the quality of the workmanship. I am an artist.
