EZIMIG 200 Basic MIG Welding Guide It is commonly used to weld large diameter elec- trodes in the flat and horizontal position and small electrode diameters in all positions. The process is used to a lesser degree for welding stainless steel and Two different welding processes are covered in this for overlay work.

EZIMIG 200 MMA Welding Techniques Lap Joint (Fig 1-19e) A Word for Beginners For those who have not yet done any welding, the simplest way to commence is to run beads on a piece Fillet Joint (Fig 1-19f) of scrap plate. Use mild steel plate about 6.0mm thick and a 3.2mm electrode.
EZIMIG 200 by scratching the electrode along the plate surface The electrode is directed at the weld pool at about 20º in the same way as a match is struck. As soon as from the vertical. The rate of travel has to be adjusted the arc is established, maintain a 1.6mm to 3.2mm so that a well-formed bead is produced.
