Exhaust Mig and stick

admin

I had to weld a pipe on my own car yesterday.  I did the end with the big gap with my SP100.  I did the other end with 1/16 6013 to see if I could do it.  Not really.The pipe was in pretty good shape.  I went over it quite well with the chipping hammer and a wire brush.I turned it up a little hereLast edited by David R; 10-31-2007 at 12:46 PM.Real world weldin.  When I grow up I want to be a tig weldor.
Reply:With the stick, I tried 45 amps, then 35, then settled on 40 or so.  My down hand welding sucks.  I almost never use that method with stick.  MIG was vertical down.  I learned here you can do that. Stick, 6013 DCEN 40 ampsLast edited by David R; 10-31-2007 at 12:55 PM.Real world weldin.  When I grow up I want to be a tig weldor.
