Tandem MIG
High-Speed and High-Deposition Welding
Using Tandem MIG
For
Flat and Horizontal Lap Welds 1.5 mm - 5 mm
Automotive, Tank Fabrication
Flat and horizontal lap welds common to automotive components like control arms, stub or full chassis frames, cross members, shock absorbers, struts, stabilizer arms and flex axles are performed at welding travel speeds ranging from 70 - 130 ipm. On thinner components with metal thickness ranging from
1.5- 3 mm, flat and horizontal lap welds are made with
(2) .035” diameter electrodes at travel speeds ranging from 100 - 130 ipm. Thicker components with metal thickness from 3 - 5 mm are performed with (2) .045” diameter electrodes at travel speeds ranging from 70 - 100 ipm.
Flat and Horizontal Fillet Welds 3 mm - 6 mm
General Light Gauge Steel Fabrication, Shipbuilding, Railroad
Light gauge steel fabrication of 3 - 4 mm fillet welds used to weld structural trusses, farm implements, residential and commercial storage systems,
(2).045” electrodes at travel speeds ranging from
50 - 80 ipm.
Joggle Joints 1.5 mm - 4 mm
Tanks and General Fabrication
Joggle joints require a careful balance of joint fill and controlled penetration. Tandem MIG provides the independent control of both, providing needed joint fill without excessive penetration. Joggle welds between
1.5and 3 mm, common to the light tank, truck bodies,
