Q: Can I run this .035" wire on a standard 120V (15A/20A) outlet?
Q: Can I run this .035" wire on a standard 120V (15A/20A) outlet?
A: It is not recommended. .035" stainless wire is thick and requires high voltage to melt properly. Most 120V welders will "stub" the wire (it won't melt fast enough). For this wire, a 240V welder is the best choice. For 120V machines, stick with .030" wire.
Q: Which gas is best for this specific wire?
Q: Which gas is best for this specific wire?
A: For a professional, shiny finish, use a Tri-Mix (90% Helium / 7.5% Argon / 2.5% CO2). If you are on a budget, a 98% Argon / 2% CO2 mix will work, but the weld will be slightly darker. Never use 100% CO2.
Q: Why is my wire "skipping" or "stuttering" as it feeds?
Q: Why is my wire "skipping" or "stuttering" as it feeds?
A: Stainless is very stiff. You likely need to increase your Drive Roll Tension. Additionally, ensure you are using a U-groove drive roll and a Teflon or Graphite liner in your torch to reduce friction.
Q: Do I need to "Back-Purge" when using this wire?
Q: Do I need to "Back-Purge" when using this wire?
A: If you are welding all the way through a pipe or plate, the backside will "sugar" (oxidize) because there is no flux to protect it. For critical structural or sanitary work, you should tape the back of the joint and fill it with Argon gas while welding.
Q: Is ER308L the same as 304?
Q: Is ER308L the same as 304?
A: No, ER308L is the filler metal used to join 304 stainless steel. It has slightly more alloy content to ensure that the weld itself is as strong and corrosion-resistant as the 304 plates you are joining.
Q: How do I clean the weld so it doesn't rust later?
Q: How do I clean the weld so it doesn't rust later?
A: After welding, use a dedicated stainless steel wire brush (never used on carbon steel) to remove the "heat tint." For the best results, apply a pickling paste for 15 minutes, then rinse with water to "passivate" the surface.
