2.4 Fundamentals of MIG, FCAW
and MCAW
Welding Technique
Successful welding depends on the following
factors:
Selection of correct consumables
1
Selection of the correct power source 2
Selection of the correct polarity on the 3
power source
Selection of the correct shielding gas
4
Selection of the correct application 5
techniques
a Correct angle of electrode to work
b Correct electrical stickout
c Correct travel speed
Selection of the welding preparation
6
Selection of Correct Consumable
Chemical composition
As a general rule the selection of a wire is
straightforward, in that it is only a matter of
selecting an electrode of similar composition
to the parent material. It will be found,
however, that there are certain applications
that electrodes will be selected on the basis of
its mechanical properties or level of residual
hydrogen in the weldmetal. Solid MIG wires are
all considered to be of the 'low Hydrogen type'
consumables.
The following table gives a general overview of
the selection of some of the BOC range of MIG
wires for the most common materials.

Physical condition
Surface condition
The welding wire must be free from any surface
contamination including mechanical damage
such as scratch marks.
A simple test for checking the surface condition
is to run the wire through a cloth that has been
dampened with acetone for 20 secs. If a black
residue is found on the cloth the surface of the
wire is not properly cleaned.
Cast and Helix
The cast and helix of the wire has a major
influence on the feedability of MIG wire.

Helix
Cast – Diameter of the circle
Helix – Vertical height
