Hello friends! 👌
I have some material questions. We are welding stainless converters to our bio charcoal boilers and that material is a bit hard to weld. It’s 8mm stainless 314 (1.4841) and because of the size of the converter we are mig welding it. The welder isn’t cleaning the plates at all and we are not even grinding the mill scale today because they say that stainless doesn’t have mill scale.
We are having issues with the welding because that material is hard to get the weld pool to flow properly. Does anybody here have any experience with this material? How do you make it flow good?
We are using 310 wire and air liquids arcal chrome (90% Ar/2% co2) but it’s just a mess!
We can’t tig weld it because it’s 6 meters long and the budget don’t allow it.
Best regards from Sweden so that’s why my grammar is what it is 😅 🇸🇪

This is the housing of the boilers I am welding, I guess it’s a lot smaller than some other guys here are producing! ✌️

Hello everybody! 👋
I just wanna make an introduction before I post anything else in this community.
My name is Dennis and I live in Sweden 🇸🇪! I’ve been working as an welder for about 16-17 years now and primarily as a mig welder. 😬 I’ve been in a shop environment all my career and did spend about 14 years making hydraulic cylinders in a production, that learned me a lot even though production welding is boring I got really effective and did plan out my days really good. At the end I did all the planning for the welders and robots, I programmed the robots and I supervised everything that was welding relevant and helped making new products. (This just sounds fancy, it was a small company 😅)
I got bored really quick at the end and came in contact with another company so this is where I am today and also have been for the latest 3 years or something! I am welding biochar-boilers for a company in Germany now and I love this 😊 switching to this job really opened my eyes to just how little I know about welding and this is why I’m here at this site fellas 😅
These boilers are probably not that big for you guys but for me these are huge!
Thanks for reading and for I will try to clean up this introduction so it’s a little easier to read, hopefully you can have some patience with me because English isn’t my native language 🙈
See ya 🇸🇪☺️
