If flux core welding on 19 gauge and thinner, you have to just tack weld and or do a series of tack welds to make a stitch. Does not mater if you are butt welding or fillet (overlap) welding.
Green Area: Zero gap series of tack welds.
Yellow Area: Gap welded 21 gauge. First deposit a little metal to build it up and then do your tack weld. Keep wire directly in between both pieces.
Red Area: Done the same way as with mig and a huge gap where you start your weld on the last weld. Flux has to be brushed off every time. |
