So I have screwed in new floor pans (from TBP) and now I need to plug weld them in. I am new to welding and have a Miller 211. I am running gas and using .23 wire.
I have been practicing my plug welding on clean scrap pieces and keep ending up with “undercut” on the edges of my welds. The scrap pieces are 16 gauge and I have set my welder anywhere between 3.25-4.5 and wire speed around 40-50. My welds look better when I have the amps set in the 4.25 range but they still have undercut on the sides. Am I moving too slow? Amps to low/high? Wire speed issue?
Any advice on how to fix an undercut issue? Happy to post pictures of that helps.
Thanks, Houston
