To ensure successful welding; here I share some special MIG welding tricks. This guideline is beneficial for beginner workers.

Even, this is an excellent instructive guide for the pro-workers.

Cause, here I unveil a couple of techniques for an active metal joining process.

Here is the way:

1. Know the striking arc system:

A. For a proper strike: your first condition is cleaning the material. It will help you to make a sound contract with the object. Otherwise, it can contaminate the entire task.

B. Make sure the wire is less sticky.

C. Pull out the torch trigger. (when the shielding gas becomes flowing)

D. Make a connection with the base metal (Use a side-swipe formation)

E. Fix the torch is a safer distance.

2. The difference between pull and push welding:

When the torch is behind the object; it is called pushing. The different system is known as pushing. Though there is a confusion which one is best; I think: both of these 2 methods are quite the same and competent enough.

However, the pulling process is suitable for heavy-duty or thicker metals. On the other hand, you can follow the pushing method for thinner items.

3. Determine the welding position:

Selecting a position is a big issue. It regulates the effectiveness and a good result 60 % depends on these criteria.

Several studies show that the flat position is the best one and highly effective. Also, it makes the work comparatively more comfortable and faster too.

Also, it gives you ultimate shield protection. Moreover, the vertical, horizontal and many other positions are also followed.

(Note: Based on the metal thickness; you have to change the movement and attachment)

4. Spatter and nozzle attachment:

Emphasize on:

A. Feeding wire

B. How to feed gas

C. Accurate placement

Make sure you quickly feed the wire. Check the nozzle tip to ensure the splatter clearance.

Even, you can get the weld splatter attachment for more efficiency. Also, focus on the spool placement.

5. Wire setting system:

GMAW is typically applied in the industrial purpose. Cause, it is capable of carrying out heavy-duty tasks in the fastest way and provides super accuracy.

Below, the most usable MIG wires for carbon steel welding projects:

A. ER70S-7

B. ER70S-6

C. ER70S-5

D. ER70S-4

E. ER70S-3

F. ER70S-2

(Note: Among all of these six types the most common one is ER70S-6)

6. Wire difference:

A. .023: small machines.

B. .030: gauge metals.

C. .035: metal up to 3/16".

D. .045: metal ¼ inches and over.

7. Others:

A. Torch and angel distance

B. Emphasize on the paddle attachment

C. Keep the working area clean

D. Select a suitable place for welding

Special tips for proper safety:

You must take adequate safety kits.

A. Welding lens:

It helps to protect your eyes from dust and excess flame. Also, you will get proper accuracy. The best welding lens in the market are:

1. Shade 11 - Techniweld Armour Guard Seer Auto Darkening Welding Lens 2 x 4

2. Antra AH7-860-0000 Solar Power Auto Darkening Welding Helmet Antti X60-8 Jumbo Viewing Size

3.78"X3.5" Variable Shade 4/5-9/9-13 Great for TIG MIG MMA Plasma

3. Antra AH6-660-0000 Auto Darkening Welding Helmet Large Viewing 3.86X2.50" Wide Shade Range 4/5-9/9-13 Engineered for TIG MIG/MAG MMA Plasma Grinding, Solar-Lithium Dual Power, 6+1 Extra Lens Covers

4. YESWELDER Large Viewing Screen True Color 4 Arc Sensor Solar Auto Darkening Welding Helmet Wide Shade 5/9-13 for TIG MIG Arc Weld Grinding Welder Mask

5. Solar Powered Welding Helmet Auto Darkening Professional Hood with Wide Lens Adjustable Shade Range 4/9-13 for Mig Tig Arc Weld Grinding Welder Mask

B. Welding gloves:

It helps to cover your palm and forearm from flame and sparking.

The best welding gloves are:

1. Lincoln Electric Traditional MIG/Stick Welding Glove

2. Tillman Medium Pearl Top Grain Cowhide Gloves

3. Tillman 24D Top Grain Pearl Kidskin TIG Glove with 2" Cuff

4. Caiman 1878-5 21-Inch One Size Fits All Genuine American Deerskin Welding Glove

5. US Forge 403 18-Inch Extra Length Welding Gloves

6. Miller 263343 Arc Armor MIG/Stick Welding Glove

C. Others:

Also, you should need a quality helmet, portable-friendly bags, manual guide, etc.

Final verdict:

Follow my given technique never and adequately neglect to take the safety device. Wish you a success welding both for your personal and professional field.
