Gas vs inductance

admin

Is it normal for 90/10 to like more inductance  in short circuit compared to 75/25
Reply:The lower CO² content in C10 makes weld puddle wet out more sluggish.ESAB Migmaster 250 Hobart Ironman 230Multimatic 215TWECO Fabricator 181i & 211iHH125EZ - nice little fluxcore only unitMaxstar 150 STH - very nice
Reply:Esab thinks so too..Moving the inductance control clockwise increases the inductance..  Dan, how many wraps around that steel bar gets you to the Stainless setting?...

Reply:Originally Posted by DanScott, High silicon SS wire with Tri-mix wets out similar to ER70S-6 with C25. The Little PM 180C performs well with this wire.The MM 251 has a fairly high inductance level. When I accidently tried short arc on it with C10, the welds were on the ropey side. Minus maybe thin ga sheet, I don't know why anyone would want to use C10 for short arc, especially on 1/8" and thicker.
Reply:Originally Posted by Brand XAnother problem with C-10 is gets a bit unstable in the upper end of the short-arc.. Wants to get out of the short-arc, and go into glob/spray.. Do you use Tri-mix with the Lincoln or C-8 C-2 etc ? I don't think C-25 is the correct gas unless it's for Dual-Shield Stainless. (nice stuff with standard C-25..)I was trying to figure out who would use a MM-251 with any gas type?
