Default Mig welding tubing...

I had some pipe layign around from my old turbo kit. So i cut it up and tried my hand at welding it. I'd weld for a inch or so and change something to just learn and pratice, here are the pics... I'm using a Lincoln 175 and settings were On "b" and ranged from 3-6 wire speed, with 15 on the gas.





Thanks for taking the time to look at this.

yea you def need to clean that up before you weld. when you weld you should move the gun in a "C" motion or reverse. you also have to much penetration which causes the metal to weaken. just keep practicing
