Scheme 487
Scheme 488
- Clean the feeding mechanism and the feed rollers.
- Ensure that the hose package and welding torch tip are in good condition. Replace if necessary.
- The pressure on the feed rollers should be low to prevent the rod from being broken.
- The hose package should be held as straight as possible so that it is easy to feed the rod. The welding torch tip must be held at a right angle in relation to the weld joint.
- Test the welding equipment first on several test panels to obtain the correct setting for the weld. Do not use too much heat. Check on the rear side of the panel that burn-through has not occurred. A good MIG brazing joint must be evenly rounded. Lap joint: Edge-to-edge joint
- Test the strength of the joint by pulling the panels apart using adjustable pliers or pipe wrench with the panels secured in a vice. The result of a good joint is that the surrounding panel gives way and not the brazing itself. Adjust the setting of the weld if necessary.
