Hello @all in the world 
,
usually I write in the Healey forum.
I would like to share my bad experience with my MIG/MAG-welding equipment .
I read some times, that it is especially easy to weld with MAG equipment.
(I have very much experience with autogenous welding)
Because of the heat influence I bought me a used professional MIG-welder. I also bought from the gas dealer a gas bottle with argon-gas. I talked with the gas bottle dealer, " I would like to have the best gas mix combination to work on a healey chassis"
At home I try to weld,but I produce not really good weld seam results...The arc load was always a little bit rattle, the seams look always a little bit spongy, also they burn not deep enough in the material...
Ok, I think, i have to adjust the equipment and additional I need more practice.... But my results have been better,but at no time good.
Ok, I think ,I have to go to a welding training.... I start the practice after work.
The equipment of the weld academy was very "old school" with old equipment but I weld like a weld master .... I get results nearly produced by a robot.. I don`t want to knock myself on the shoulder, but I was happy and frustrated together.. Ok, I think my equipment is faulty...
I ordered a service leader of a weld equipment company. He measured all the electric connections and relays, but he did not found a failure...he told me it can be possible that my wire is not thick enough (5x1,5 instead of 5x2,5)....
Now I asked him concerning to his opinion to the gas mix.. What does 4.6 mean?
Now it falls the coin... the mistake was found... I have a 100% Argon gas and this effects that the arc load is to cold. The correct mixture should be 18% CO2 and 82% Argon....( 100% Argon is for WIG-welding)
Bye Michel- who get his self confidence back. :banana:
