Honestly your fcaw welds look better then your mig welds. With .023 wire you should not be built up that much on any pass. Those plug welds are especially concerning. I also stray away from fcaw for sheet metal because of the amount of heat you dump into the metal. Much more chance to burn through or warp the panel. But it is where I started in sheet metal repair and now I do have the luxury of mig or tig at my disposal.

Or, just tell them both to get lost and use TIG? As a FCAW guy myself, I totally understand the sentiment about it. It's a little wild. Using the anti-spatter spray helps, though. I can't comment on MIG but I have a buddy at work who says it's like a 180 compared to FCAW. But everything I've read, watched, and thought about, TIG is BY FAR the way to go with almost anything, especially thin stuff. Thoughts?
@thebigpicture2032

TIG is ok but tends to warp thin sheet metal more than MIG plus has a lower tolerance for contamination often found when doing floorboards even after they’ve been scrupulously cleaned. I like to save money by making my pieces out of old hoods, doors etc so MIG is the way to go when doing that. Plus it’s a quicker process. FCAW is great for welding rusty stuff together outside in a field.
@22_floW
Жыл бұрын
C'mon, now... FCAW has much more worth. Some of the industry's experts use it within industrial apps with welds that can often be just as strong as those you'd expect from stick jobs. As really, if your TIG (or any) weld warps, it's not being welded correctly using appropriate settings, which isn't reflective of the weld type but rather, the welder.

Жыл бұрын
@BriizCustoms , a "precious vehicle" isn't the kind of project I'd advise getting better at welding or fabrication with, but I guess that just depends on you and the level of sentimental value you're willing to be risky with (to say nothing about the specifics involved in your project). Honestly, you might either be better off continuing your search for a qualified shop who might be able to do whatever work you're needing done at a better cost, or, just suck up the expense you've been quoted if it means having it done by a seasoned professional that's credentialed and certified in the work you're wanting done. Without knowing what work you're working on, it's difficult to say what I think the best approach would be for you. Also understand that I'm not a seasoned pro, myself--I'm just a guy who has welded a few things in his garage. Ha. But I do have experience searching for shops that do the kind of work I think you're beginning to wade into, and from my experiences, what I think you're looking for is a custom fabrication and welding shop who specializes in vehicle restoration. Sound about right? If so, you'll be more likely to have better search results if you look for a shop who specializes in vehicle restorations and who doesn't shy away from rust repair. (From my experiences, if a shop states up front that they do rust repair, that's usually a good sign in terms of being a shop who knows what they're doing whenever it comes to things like fabrication and welding.) You're unlikely to find something like that in a small town or small city, so if you're having problems finding a shop that does that, consider widening your search radius to include a major city. Chances are, you'll have better luck. You might still be quoted a high cost, but it could be worth it. Again, it just depends on what you're wanting to do. If you're wanting to dive into things like body repair (meaning, body panels, patches, dings and dent repair, minor rust repair, and other somewhat minor things), you'll want to be sure you have a good welder that can handle really thin / fine gauges of sheet metal. If it can do aluminum work, too, all the better. Because of those things, I always view TIG welders as being the best possible machines to do this kind of work, but I know you can do good work with a decent MIG machine, too. I believe C25 is good gas to use for either. FCAW can do *some* work like this, but it just depends on specifics. I wouldn't advise FCAW for thin stuff, and even for the thicker stuff it's better with, it will be much more messy. In all cases, be sure you have a good angle grinder with plenty of cut-off wheels (with thin kerfs, too; I'd advise buying some of the Diablo-brand wheels for that). Have plenty of sanding wheels, a few hammers (i.e. - a planishing hammer is great for this kind of work). Pros use things like brakes, shrinkers, and stretchers for complex shaping, so if you have any of those, awesome, but many DIYers do a lot with just the planishing hammer and smart welds--look up Fitze's Fabrication on KZitem to see what I'm talking about as he's an artist whenever it comes to making a lot with so little. Anti-spatter spray helps a lot with keeping welds clean and having some tip gel will help keep your tips clean for FCAW and MIG. If doing TIG, be sure to have a CK Worldwide superflex torch. A good welding helmet with auto-darkening goes a long way. Adding to all of this, be sure to perform exhaustive research into whatever it is you're going to be working on. Try to get any available service procedures that the manufacturer or aftermarket providers might have as valuable info can be acquired from them to understand the parts you'll need, how they're installed, etc. Join some online communities to pick more brains about your project (i.e. - Reddit > r/fabrication is a great group) and be sure to include pictures, etc. of everything you'll be doing and working with when communicating with your communities (including your machines and tools). They'll have insights about approaches and parts. Speaking of parts, be sure to bookmark McMaster-Carr (www.mcmaster.com). Get as much info about your vehicle and the kind of panels, structures, sub-structure, etc. it uses, and before doing the work, be sure to not only have as many parts as possible that you'll need for the job, but also backups for those as mistakes will be made before success. And whatever you do, be sure to exploit this opportunity to apply some rust preventative or neutralizer while the panels, etc. are exposed. I'd advise a product called "Corroseal," which is similar to Por-15, and Wool-Wax, which displaces water (look up RepairGeek on KZitem). If you use this in tandem to areas you plan on welding, be very careful as many undercoating products are flammable. (So for those areas, use an anti-rust product intended to be welded that isn't flammable. Might go without saying, but many people--especially DIYers--often never consider it.) If you're doing anything beyond basic panel work, like more serious stuff related to the frame or even sub-frame, I'd personally advise against tackling it on your own without a seasoned vet being involved (and by "seasoned vet," I'm not talking about a friend or father figure who's worked as a mechanic for 30 years--I'm talking about a credentialed, certified fabricator whose career has comprised of nothing but this kind of work). It's too dangerous to do alone and is often something only specialized shops do. For that kind of work, I can only advise that you just bite whatever quote bullets you're given as long as they're given by said qualified shops, and be sure the work comes with liability assurances because if it doesn't, it means that shop can't do the work to a quality that they're willing to risk their company's name (and financial stability) on. Hope this helps and good luck.

You have to change your angle and distance depending on the material you weld, the location of your weld (underneath something/side/on top) and even the temperature of the metal.

I totally agree with one of the comments that it's not the wire are the machine it's the operator I could say this because I've been doing body works since the 1970s professionally practice makes perfect

How about changing voltage? I’ve welded thin metal and have been just fine

Would help to know how to weld first. I’ve used both flux core and mig on sheet metal, with absolutely no problem

I can't afford the gas. I learned on flux core with an Eastwood 210 welder that came with flux core wire. Practiced on some scrap metal and got it dialed in just right.

Less likely to blow through with solid wire for sure.

Don't blame on flux core your inability to use it.

If you're welding with gas you don't use flux core wire since flux core is your protection. Gas on might wire is your protection
