How Different Gas Mixtures Affect GMAW

Paulie is back! He's here to show us how different gas mixtures affect GMAW. We will explore:
Advantages: Some gases are more readily available, have different characteristics for thick or thin material
Disadvantages: Spatter, bead shape, lack of penetration / too much penetration
Technique: Push & pull on F-2 and Vertical up & down hill F-3

    Very interesting topic , using gas as the 3th parameter in MIG welding , being wire speed and voltage the two others. How about making your own blend? Gas mixer is expensive and not all mix are local supply , so have an easy way to DIY would be great , Oxy.Ace you do it all the time.

    A note about spray, you can use it for downhill welding too, but it's hot and fast so you gotta be wide awake. We build wood stoves in my shop and pretty much all the main body of the stove is welded downhill at somewhere around 25.7v/650ipm though some of the crazier guys will crank up to 26.x/700ish. Honestly it's really fun, I'm not a fan of whipping personally but it's shop policy and you can get some sexy Instagram patterns going that way.

    @@ypaulbrown most of the welds showed a pinhole in the root when you cut and etched, also you shouldn’t make any oscillation when mig welding, there’s no need in it and will affect your weld profile internally, I can prove this by cutting the back of the tee joint at a 45* exposing your root penetration, try one where you weld it like you did spray, a consistent push, then try one with a whipping or weave motion, 10/10 the whipping motion will be less consistent and not be as uniform, there’s no advantage to it whatsoever, also when you did spray arc you needed more voltage, you had far too much sparks coming off, it should be sparkless and spatterless, I work as a welding consultant, we have the best welding specialist in the country, if you’d like contact me and I could have my team come and demonstrate some of these concepts with you

This gas mix does not give good penetration, and I would not use it on thicknesses over 1/8"-3/16" and never vertical down on thicker materials. Argon Oxygen runs hot and it's a common misnomer that it's really digging in. This gas mix was designed for thin materials, flat position and fast travel speeds. I'd look at C-10, Argon 90% Co2 10%, or C-15. These mixes will pulse and spray very nicely.

    good question Seth, no, it is not the same, Pulse is a process that is switching from high current to low many times a second, allowing the puddle to freeze a bit between pulses. while Axial Spray Transfer is the same current the whole time....that makes it harder to control in out of position welds. Pulse will sound like a swarm of angry bees too......The pulse on machines is not limited to use on Axial Spray Transfer, [as far as I have experienced, but I do not know how all machines work, I have only experienced Miller and Lincoln equipment that would pulse.] but that is the normal use for it due to the ability to control the puddle.

    I use a 90/10 mix for pulse spray mig and it works very well and out of position if needed. I always try to position for flat or horizontal of course that is not always possible. The 90/10 Mix seems to be a good compromise ,dial it down for short circuit and dial it up for spray. On my HTP pro 220 you can pulse mig down to pretty thin ,like 12 or 14 gauge. Now with my limited experience I have found the that with thick , say 3/8 plus you can't beat a dual shield 035 or 045 with 75/25 like esab 7100 ultra . In real fact I mainly weld 1/8- 3/16 mild steel So 75/25 does the trick but somebody always shows up with a repair on some dirty 1/4 or 3/8 then it is usually dual shield with 75/25 because it's just dirty welding. If thin stuff it is usually 90/10. Pulse spray. What do you guys do?

    @@NikeaTiber you mention Frying bacon sound.....that is what Short Circuit is, the wire is short circuiting....it is the process and has nothing to do with being close enough to the edge of the puddle. yes, excessive spatter is caused by too large of a stickout. but the stickout was 1/4 to 1/2 inch......look close at the size of the nozzle and the coupon height of 1 inch. As far as your trimix you mention, we were axial spray transferring with the 92/8 ar co2 mix......this was not a every gas mixture available video, as there are over 100 mixes available.....believe me, I know as I had to research them and pick the ones that were readily available, at $100 for each type, it was not feasible to try every one.I hope this helps, Paul from weld.com

    I started welding on a production line making structural beams using mig spray 85/15 gas. My technique is typically to do cursive e's while staying on the leading edge of the puddle just to dress up the bead a little. What are your thoughts on adding motion to spray arc? Would you think it has a negative effect on penetration, or any effect at all? Ps: don't listen to the keyboard warriors.

    Yo, the puddle is so fluid with spray, , it is hard to control for me.....I just cruise along with a push puddle, was almost impossible with a pull technique. as far as penetration, I really don't know how much effect it would have, and the question is, how much penetration do you need, too much and you are commingling the metals and that could be a detriment to the weld material. as long as you make the proper size fillet, the depth of penetration [100%] means nothing. Then important thing is complete penetration as in no voids......I hope this helps, Paul

    @@ypaulbrown spray is hard to control but I tend to turn the wire speed down a touch just to have some control while avoiding undercut. some guys in the shop do a quick whip motion and the profile comes out slightly convex but not too much. I just do the cursive e's primarily for presentation but was never sure if it made a difference in structural integrity. Anyway, appreciate the input, you're the type of old school whose brain i like to pick.

    You should have used same welding technique with each test. You did a different technique and speed you moved torch on each . To truelly show difference between gas you should move same speed each time and the technique needs to be the same. You pushed your pull on first weld. You did a circle on second weld and went top to bottom on third weld, fourth weld same technique as third. Last weld you pushed the bead again. That is why each weld looked different

    @@ypaulbrown Camera work and audio are the biggest ones. Some of the new hosts not all just cant figure out the microphones and are blown out. Some of the hosts cant get the arc shots that are a big help to those learning how to read a puddle. On that last note the ones that dont get good arc shots doesnt really help new learners all that much. Having trained people who dont know how to read a puddle it is extremely difficult and un helpful. All the tips in the world wont help a new individual who doesnt know what it looks like when a puddle is doing what its supposed to versus a puddle thats boiling out because you got an inclusion or are getting porosity etc. Art welding tips and tricks are fine but are not great for individuals learning how to weld for production field work or even just basics of weld as often times art welding uses techniques that in reality are big no noes when it comes to techniques and processes outside of the art fields. Im not saying there is anything wrong with the art side of things but they shouldnt be construed as tips for new welders. I have personally trained welders who take things theyve learned from art welding channels and tried to do them in ASME/PED applications and they almost got themselves fired and lost certs once they got out on their own and tried some of those methods when they experimented away from how they were taught to do ASME/PED quality work.
