MIG Welding Tips
Diagram 1
1. Keep a 1/4 to 3/8 in stickout (electrode extending from the tip of the
���������
contact tube.) (Refer to Diagram 1. Electrode Extensions)
2. For thin metals, use a smaller diameter wire. For thicker metal use
������
a larger wire and a larger machine. See machine recommendations
for welding capacity. (Refer to Diagram 4. Welding Wire Thickness
Chart)

���������
3. Use the correct wire type for the base metal being welded. Use
stainless steel wires for stainless steel, aluminum wires for
aluminum, and steel wires for steel.
�������������������������������
4. Use the proper shielding gas. CO2 is good for penetrating welds on
Diagram 2
steel, but may be too hot for thin metal. Use 75% Argon/25% CO2 for
Argon + CO2
CO2
thinner steels. Use only Argon for aluminum. You can use a triple-mix
for stainless steels (Helium + Argon + CO2). (Refer to Diagram 2.

5. For steel, there are two common wire types. Use
an AWS classification ER70S-3 for all purpose,

economical welding. Use ER70S-6 wire when
more deoxidizers are needed for welding on dirty
� ���� ���������� ����
or rusty steel. (Refer to Diagram 6. Welding

6. For best control of your weld bead, keep the wire
� ��������������������� �������� ��
directed at the leading edge of the weld pool.

� ������ ������ ���������
����� ���������� ���������� ���
7. When welding out of position (vertical, horizontal,
���� ��� ��
or overhead welding), keep the weld pool small for
� ������ ������ ����� ���� ���������
best weld bead control, and use the smallest wire
diameter size you can.
����� ������������ ��

� ����������������� ���� ��
8. Be sure to match your contact tube, gun liner, and
� ����� ��� ��� ������� ����������� ����
drive rolls to the wire size you are using.
� ��� �� ��� ������ ������������� ���
� ��� �� �������� ���� ��� ������ �����
����������� �������� ������
9. Clean the gun liner and drive rolls occasionally,
and keep the gun nozzle clean of spatter. Replace

the contact tip if blocked or feeding poorly.

� ���� ���������� ���������������������
� ������������ ������������ � �������
����� �� ���� ����� �
10. Keep the gun straight as possible when welding,
to avoid poor wire feeding.
� ����������� ��� �� ����� �����������
������ �������
11. Use both hands to steady the gun when you
� ���� ���������� ���� ���� ��� ���
weld. Do this whenever possible. (This also

���������� �� �������������������
applies to Stick and TIG welding, and plasma
cutting.)
� ��� ���� ���� ���� ���� ��������
���������������������

12. Keep wire feeder hub tension and drive roll pressure just tight
Diagram 10: Recommended Fil et Weld Thickness
enough to feed wire, but don’t overtighten.
13. Keep wire in a clean, dry place when not welding, to avoid picking
up contaminants that lead to poor welds.

�����������
14. Use DCEP (reverse polarity) on the power source.

15. A drag or pull gun technique will give you a bit more penetration


and a narrower bead. A push gun technique will give you a bit less
penetration, and a wider bead. (Refer to Diagram 3. Effect of
Electrode Position and Welding Technique)

�����������������������������������������������
����������������������������������
16. When welding a fillet, the leg of the weld should be equal
to the thickness of the parts welded. (Refer to Diagram 10.
Recommended Fillet Weld Thickness)
