All suggested settings are approximate. Welds should be tested to comply to your specifications.
Gas-Shielded Flux Cored ? requires the use of an externally supplied gas or gas mixture
Wire Size:
Wire Feed Speed*:
Amperage Range:
Shielding Gas & Voltage Range**:
Self-Shielded Flux Cored ? no shielding gas required. Good for outdoor windy conditions. Hotter than solid wires
Wire Size:
Wire Feed Speed*:
Amperage Range:
Voltage Range:

*Wire Feed Speed is a starting value only and can be fine-tuned while welding.

**CO2 gas is economical and has deeper penetration on steel, but may be too hot for thin metal. 75% Argon / 25% CO2 is better on thin steels, produces less spatter and better bead appearance.

Settings based on butt welds. Joint design, fitup, backup, position, bead size and stickout may alter conditions.

Information About Default Weld Parameters and Settings

NOTICE - Each welding application is unique. Although certain Miller Electric products are designed to determine and default to certain typical welding parameters and settings based upon specific and relatively limited application variables input by the end user, such default settings are for reference purposes only; and final weld results can be affected by other variables and application-specific circumstances. The appropriateness of all parameters and settings should be evaluated and modified by the end user as necessary based upon application-specific requirements. The end user is solely responsible for selection and coordination of appropriate equipment, adoption and adjustment of default weld parameters and settings, and ultimate quality and durability of all resultant welds. Miller Electric expressly disclaims any and all implied warranties including any implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.
