You have to crank the wire speed and amperage up I was using about
150Amp I think on 3mm to get adequet penetration. To much amperage and
the weld became pourous(holes). I tried it using BOC gases Argoshield
100 (all I had), the gas must have Helium in it because it leaves a
black soot on the welds. You need pure Argon. I was able to get a decent
weld but you need practice and be careful you dont warp it. I have been
meaning to try pure Argon but my MIG's wire feed is causing me problems
at the moment.
