FAQs

What type of shielding gas should I use?

For mild steel, you can use CO2 or a mix of argon and CO2. The choice depends on your application and desired weld appearance. Consult your welder's manual for recommendations.

How do I choose the correct wire diameter?

Select the wire diameter based on the thickness of the metal you're welding. Thicker materials typically require a larger diameter wire for adequate penetration.

How do I store the welding wire?

Store the welding wire in a dry location to prevent rust. Keep it away from moisture and contaminants.

What does A18 Grade mean?

A18 Grade refers to the specific classification of the welding wire, indicating its composition and compliance with BS EN ISO 14341:2008 standards.

Can I use this wire on stainless steel?

No, this wire is specifically for mild steel welding. Using it on stainless steel will not produce a satisfactory weld. You will need a stainless steel welding wire.

What if the wire doesn't feed smoothly?

Check for kinks or tangles in the wire spool. Ensure the wire liner is clean and free of obstructions. Adjust the wire feed tension on your welder.

How do I prevent spatter?

Ensure proper gas coverage, adjust welding parameters (voltage and wire feed speed), and maintain a consistent welding technique. Clean the workpiece before welding.

Troubleshooting

Wire feed issues

Check the wire spool for tangles, ensure the wire is feeding smoothly through the liner, and adjust the wire feed tension.

Poor weld quality (porosity, spatter)

Check the gas flow, shielding gas type, and ensure the workpiece is clean and free of rust or contaminants. Adjust the welding parameters.

Wire burns back to the tip.

Adjust voltage, wire feed speed, and check the contact tip for damage or wear. Ensure the earth clamp is securely attached to the workpiece.
