SECTION 8 − MIG WELDING (GMAW) GUIDELINES mig1 2009−12 8-1. Typical 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. Regulator/ Flowmeter Wire Feeder/...
8-2. Typical MIG Process Control Settings These settings are guidelines only. Material and wire type, joint design, fitup, position, shielding gas, etc. affect settings. Test welds to be sure they comply to specifications. Material thickness determines weld parameters. 1/8 or 0.125 in. Convert Material Thickness to Amperage (A)
8-3. Holding And Positioning Welding Gun Welding wire is energized when gun trigger is pressed. Before lowering helmet and pressing trigger, be sure wire is no more than 1/2 in. (13 mm) past end of nozzle, and tip of wire is positioned correctly on seam. Hold Gun and Control Gun Trigger Workpiece...
8-4. Conditions That Affect Weld Bead Shape Weld bead shape depends on gun angle, direction of travel, electrode extension (stickout), travel speed, thickness of base metal, wire feed speed (weld current), and voltage. ° Push ° Drag Perpendicular GUN ANGLES AND WELD BEAD PROFILES Short Normal Long...
8-5. 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 Weave Bead −...
8-8. 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. Electrode extension (stickout) too long.
8-11. 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.
8-14. 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. (13 mm) beyond nozzle. Unsteady hand.
8-16. Common MIG Shielding Gases This is a general chart for common gases and where they are used. Many different combinations (mixtures) of shielding gases have been developed over the years. The most commonly used shielding gases are listed in the following table.

Problem Probable Cause Remedy Wire slipping in drive rolls. Adjust pressure setting on wire feed rolls. Replace worn Welding arc not stable. drive rolls if necessary. Wrong size gun liner or contact tip. Match liner and contact tip to wire size and type. Incorrect voltage setting for selected wire feed speed on Readjust welding parameters.
