MULTIMIG 200 PFC MV OWNER’S MANUAL MIG WELDING TROUBLESHOOTING The general approach to fix Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) problems is to start at the wire spool then work through to the MIG torch. There are two main areas where problems occur with GMAW, Porosity and Inconsistent wire feed.
MULTIMIG 200 PFC MV OWNER’S MANUAL Other weld problems can be reduced by checking the following points. EFFECTS OF MMA WELDING VARIOUS MATERIALS High Tensile and Alloy Steels attempts are made to weld it. Trouble may also be experienced when welding white-heart malleable, due to the porosity caused The two most prominent effects of welding these steels are the by gas held in this type of iron.
