  • Watch me weld 304 base material with (4) different types of 308 filler wire provided by Blue Demon. I'm using a Fronius TransSteel 2200 and TransSteel 2700 for all the weling. Check out the ways of saving money on expensive TRIMIX gas with alternatives which your gas supplier can provide. As always, thanks for watching :)

    Nice one. The more content on the 2200 the better, it has brought my mig game to a level that I never thought possible.

    No one seems to test stick on the 2200, but there are situations you would use stick, like 6010 on unprepared materials.

    You blew your settings with the 308LFC-O. That wire runs DCEP, and you switched to DCEN to run it. Switch the polarity and you will find it welds much cleaner. Also bear in mind the Blue Demon recommends 22-25V and 130-150A setting range on your machine.

    Awesome video.
    We purchased the Transteel 2200 but we haven't spent a lot of time learning it. Your ss bead profile & color is on the money! I haven't done a whole lot of ss mig. When we did the welds always came out dull using a tri-mix. We don't have access to a variety of gas blends from our local suppliers. We just purchased a Miller gas mixer & we'll definitely try the 98/2% blend.
    I will definitely stay tuned to your channel!💎💰💳🪙

      Kevin, thanks for watching. I would love to make more MIG content on stainless. The gold standard is Tri-Mix but most people don’t know about 98/2. Shoot me an email and I’ll get some swag sent out to you. Bliven.christopher@fronius.com

    New to welding, have a diy project that will need welding on ss kegs. But will also have some cs exhaust piping welding as well. Low budget, any recommendations on what gas I should get for the mig I'll be using? Only have one tank and would like to avoid multiple trips to change gases.

    • @chris_b_liven
      @chris_b_liven  3 года назад

      Sean, Sorry about the late response. You could get a spool of self shielded stainless steel from Blue Demon. You wouldn’t need gas for it. This would be the cheapest solution - 2nd could be gas fluxcored wire with 100% CO2. The 100% CO2 could be used for both steel and stainless

  • @Lord_Verminaard

    So can you run normal 308L with 75/25? I am trying to butt-weld stainless steel exhaust with 75/25 and (I think) 308L wire and I am not getting the results I would like to have. I'm using a Yeswelder 205DS multiprocess on 220v....

    • @chris_b_liven
      @chris_b_liven  Год назад +1

      Sorry for the delay. Yes, you can use 75/25 but it will burn most of the chromium out of the material. I suggest using a 308 stainless flux cored wire. If your not worried about long term rust then use the 75/25

    • @chris_b_liven

      Who do you buy your local gas from ? Yes, the C02 option is really good for 3/16 and below.

    Where my location is Superior Welding Supply. Can get me trimix same price as argon co2. 90 helium, 8 argon and 2 oxygen/co2. I will prolly do oxygen cuz it helps a bit more with toeing and allows for short circuit welding to be a bit more consistent
