D. Gmaw Welding (mig) Guidelines. SECTION 11 GMAW WELDING (MIG) GUIDELINES Typical GMAW (MIG) Process Connections 11-1. Typical GMAW (MIG) Process Connections Weld current can damage electronic parts in vehicles. Disconnect both battery cables before welding on a vehicle. Place work clamp as close to the weld as possible.
Holding And Positioning Welding Gun 11-3. Holding And Positioning Welding Gun Welding wire is energized when gun trigger is pressed. Before lowering helmet and pressing trig- ger, be sure wire is no more than 1/2 in. (13 mm) past end of nozzle, and tip of wire is positioned cor- rectly on seam.

Gun Movement During Welding Normally, a single stringer bead is satisfactory for most narrow groove weld joints; however, for wide groove weld joints or bridging across gaps, a weave bead or multiple stringer beads works better. Stringer Bead Steady Movement Along Seam...
Troubleshooting − Excessive Spatter 11-8. Troubleshooting Excessive Spatter Excessive Spatter scattering of molten metal particles that cool to solid form near weld bead. S-0636 Possible Causes Corrective Actions Wire feed speed too high. Select lower wire feed speed. Voltage too high. Select lower voltage range.
Troubleshooting − Lack Of Penetration 11-11. Troubleshooting Lack Of Penetration Lack Of Penetration shallow fusion between weld metal and base metal. Lack of Penetration Good Penetration S-0638 Possible Causes Corrective Actions Improper joint preparation. Material too thick. Joint preparation and design must provide access to bottom of groove while maintaining proper welding wire extension and arc characteristics.

11-14. Troubleshooting Waviness Of Bead Troubleshooting − Waviness Of Bead Waviness Of Bead weld metal that is not parallel and does not cover joint formed by base metal. S-0641 Possible Causes Corrective Actions Welding wire extends too far out of nozzle. Be sure welding wire extends not more than 1/2 in.
