Change to a different process. MIG welding ALWAYS, always, always creates spatter.
How you stop excessive spatter is by adjusting the voltage and wire speed. Lower voltage and faster wire speed = more spatter. Higher voltage and lower wire speed = less spatter. How you find the magic combination for the weld you are making is to test in an inconspicuous place - run a bead, check for spatter, adjust the two settings, run another bead...eventually you will get to the point where you're getting a nice weld with an acceptable amount of spatter, and then you weld your project with it.

What are welding sparks called?
The 'welding sparks' that come off during welding are metal particles from the filler metal, electrode, or base metal that are lost during welding. The standard term is spatter.
Electrode for mig and mag welding?
A tubular or wire cored electrode is used for both MIG and MAG welding. These can be purchased online at places like AGA.com.
What are welding defects?
1. crack 2. spatter 3.distortion 4. haz 5 blow holes
In MIG welding what are the polarities of the torch and the work-piece and what is the fundamental reason for this?
MIG welding works only with reversed polarity, DC+, + at the torch. The reason is mostly the stability of the arc. Using DC- will result in a very unstable arc with lots of spatter.
Which gases are used in normal welding process?
Depends on what you think of as normal welding. Gas welding use oxygen-acetylene. MIG/TIG use Argon. MAG, use an argon-something mix. Depending on what materials you are welding, there are some more options tha might be used.
How can you keep the arc from spattering as you weld?
for mig welding spatter can be reduced by amp, voltage and wire speed adjustment. check shielding gas. stick welding check the recommended voltage, amps and application for the rod you are using keep your arc short. tig welding, be sure you are using the proper tungsten, and shielding gas and filler rod for the metal you are welding, don't dip the tungsten. make sure the metal you are welding is clean .
What is the specification of welding electrode E6013?
The E6013 welding electrode is a versatile, all-purpose electrode with a coating that provides smooth arc characteristics and good penetration. It is commonly used for general welding applications on mild steel and is known for producing clean and minimal spatter welds. The E6013 electrode can be used with both AC and DC welding machines.
How does MAG weld mean?
metal active gas, doing gas metal arc welding with a gas that isn't inert
Why spatters come in welding?
Spatter can be caused by #1 Amperage setting too high, #2 too long an arc length, #3 thin coated electrodes, #4 Using AC current.
What is a spatter dash coat?
spatter dash is one of the dry mix mortar.
Is their an exteneded mag available for an t33 7.62x25?
no. not unless you modify it by cutting the body out of another mag and welding or brazing it to the other one.Be careful to calibrate the spring to give the correct amount of tension you will also have to incorporate a notch for the magazine release.Better off learning to do faster mag changes.
How is Venus blood spatter different from arterial blood spatter?
velosity . colour,pressur.
