You can see the 2.4mm heats less if you move fast enough. The 1.6mm will heat more area as you have to go slow.
This was just a test on some scrap 0.6mm
The rule of 1 amp per 1 thou was used here.
or close to. 1mm steel should be welded at 40 amps.
The above was done at
1.6@20amps
2.4@35amps
Both 0.6mm steel.
also these welds are very crap as the steel was only quickly wire brushed on a old bench grinder..
you need your steel ultra clean for good welds. and someone who doesnt shake at all.
Should be TIG welding. not TUG. in the head line. stupid phone typo correction
