I think your spool fluxcore is upside down. Good to see that it works with galvanized steel!

For flux core you need to reverse the polarity your nozzle go to the negative and ground on the positive

After working with a man whose father had something similar to "Black Lung" from welding on galvanized steel, I always try to grind off galvanizing. Besides the weld looks very bad

Doesn't look like your garage door is open, and I dont know if you're wearing a respirator, so ill just ask. Do you know that breathing the fumes from welding galvanized metal will kill you? Do something to remove that galvanized coating before you weld.

@michaeldvorak5556 Absolutely! I believe the air quality regulations just changed or are in the process of changing on galvanized/zinc welding, so that's good for everyone.

I have good luck with anti spatter and tip dip. Of course grinding is a must. How are you liking your esab ? Not many videos with them on KZitem when I search. Thanks for posting this.

I purposely use flux core or stick to fix galvanized. The fumes coming off of the galvanize will negate and shiding gas you use otherwise.

Seeing that smoke coming off right in front of your face makes me cringe. I would weld galvanized only outside on a windy day or with a fan to blow the gases away from me..

How will that wire do on 16 gauge galvanize welded to 20 gauge galvanized. Also I’m really new to welding in general and I was hear people say When there’s slag you drag. But I seems as though you were pushing. I’m just wondering if it really makes a difference or not looks like in this video you weren’t dragging it but you say it looks pretty good

That wire should do really well for that application. Slag/drag is a good rule of thumb. Innershield didn't really matter, if I was running gas shielded I would drag.

I'm new at welding, have all my equipment. Flux core, gasless. Need to weld two pieces of 10ft 12gauge unistrut. Do need to weld on a bracket to it or just the both ends together?
@coconutcowboy5976
Жыл бұрын
If your welding end to end to make 20ft and its holding substantial weight I would use a bracket or stiffener of some sort. If welding in parallel no need.

@@coconutcowboy5976 okay, yeah I'm actually building a ground mount solar array, going to have around 12 panels, so yeah thats what I was thinking. So unistrut makes a 1/4 bracket that bolts up to it but it bows when I lift it. Can I weld 1/4 to it?

@carlosreyes6448 sure can, concentrate your heat on the 1/4 and let the weld puddle flow onto the thinner material.

I'm new to welding and just bought my own flux core welder...why is it that most of the time I find it hard to get that spark after so many taps? I always end up having to roll back 3 inches of wire as it keeps feeding without burning...any advise?

That's a tough one, sounds like a grounding/contact issue. Try cliping your wire after each stop. Check ground, contact tip and connections to the machine...hope that helps!
