Want this question answered?
The wire feed welder is a MIG welder.
there is no such thing as a gasless mig welder because mig stands for metal inert gas. you must have tubular wire which has the flux in the wire. i would say you should get some s wire to do the job
5 mm
Yes it can. I use flux core wire because there is no need for gas with flux wire.
No, the wire will overheat.
A number of factors go into this: base material thickness, joining material thickness, wire thickness, shielding gas composition, angle of weld, etc. The best way to determine this is to measure your material, then open your MIG welder, find the wire size of the spool, and read the chart inside of the MIG Welder door.
Mig (GMAW) has almost replaced Stick (SMAW) in industry. Small machines can weld thin materials and larger machines weld metals of unlimited thickness. Mig is easy to use and has less waste (no stubs) than stick. Flux core wire produces a slag covering but bare wire w/gas leaves a clean weld.
Depends on a lot of things. Slickest work, but most expensive - TIG. Cheapest - arc (stick) welder. Reasonably user friendly and inexpensive - wire-feed arc/ MIG welder.) Most versatile - Oxyacetylene. Oxy will give have the biggest heat affected zone and is the hardest to use (IMO). If your kart is really thin wall tubing you can forget about the stick welder and even the MIG will be quite tricky.
can weld aluminium with a mig or tig welder
The most powerful MIG welder available for purchase is a 220V / 200AMP. Since these powerful MID welders can cost upward of $2000, hobbyist work would not require such power.
A clarke mig welder is considered a top of the line welder and can be purchased at specialty welding stores or even at hardware stores like home depot or menards. They can also be bought online.
