!
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.
GMAW1 2018 − 12 (GMAW Only) − Ref. 801909-A
.
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.
1 Material Thickness
Material thickness determines weld parameters.
Convert material thickness to amperage (A):
0.001 in. (0.025 mm) = 1 ampere
0.0625 in. (1.59 mm) ÷ 0.001 = 62.5 A
2 Select Wire Size
See table below.
3
Select Wire Feed Speed (Amperage)
Wire feed speed (amperage) controls weld pene-
tration.
See table below.
4
Select Voltage
Voltage controls height and width of weld bead.
Low Voltage: wire stubs into work
High Voltage: arc is unstable (spatter)
Set voltage midway between high and low voltage.
1/16 or
0.0625 in.
