MIG SG welding of galvanized panels
In order to create good quality repair welding joints, follow the indications below:
t  The current intensity (amperage) in the welding transformer must be increased.
t  At the same time, the advancement of the wire must be adjusted, as the increase of the voltage only causes a higher voltaic arch (higher penetration, more porosity in the seam structure).
t  Use cylindrical gas nozzles instead of conical ones (the projection of liquid metal in a narrow gas nozzle causes the formation of pores).
t  Place the burner at approximately 12 mm above the welding product, in a neutral position, up to an angular position of 10°.
t  The quality of the wire to be used must be the „mildest“ possible.
t  As gas, CO2 or shielding gas may be used.
