Miller 350p pulsed mig vertical up question

admin

So I was trying out pulse on my 350p on steel and going vertical up, just looked horrible.  Doing down no issues at allAm I missing something here with pulse ?  It's almost as if it clumps up then misses a spot when going up
Reply:With those amps there is no need to do vertical up.I do vert up with my 140 Lincoln. Never even consider it with my ole MM200.Crank the heat and pull it down. No problem.Bubble gumTooth pixDuct tapeBlack glueGBMF hammerScrew gun --bad battery (see above)
Reply:I've never used pulse. Never will.I also don't have nipple rings.Bubble gumTooth pixDuct tapeBlack glueGBMF hammerScrew gun --bad battery (see above)
Reply:I was just experimenting seeing what it would do but yes and ah ha moment that you just mentioned lol.  I'm just a kid at Christmas trying different setting figuring the whole pulse thing out, old fart relearning how to weld in pulse.I was so excited today I even forgot to turn the gas on, thinking pulse is just garbage lol
Reply:This makes no sense... Sometimes it is required for certain fit ups, codes, and applications. Pulse really works wonders for puddle control on vertical up. I am still learning the 350p on steel, but I have have really had the arc control up along with the arc length @ 60+Constant Current Weldor.
Reply:For V-up pulse turn the wire speed down a lot compared to flat/horizontal welding. Keep the arc length as short as you can without excessive spatter. Weave like you would with 7018. Turning up the arc control may help also. Can't help you with settings as I don't use the 350P.JohnA few weldersA lot of hammersA whole lot of C-clamps
Reply:What kind of wire are you running?  We run both ER70-S6 and Metal Core on our 350P's and the puddle is so fluid with the metal core you can't run uphill to save your life.  With the solid wire though it is so easy it's like cheating.  I turn down the arc length a bit, usually around 40, and weave side to side, pausing at the edges and going a little faster across the middle to keep the puddle from sagging.
