Troubleshooting Wire Feed Welding

In the nearly 44 years JADCO Mfg. Inc has been assisting heavy industry, most of the frustration with installing wear plate involves welding issues.

We are pleased to announce another JADCO Resource available on our website,
the JADCO XPLAINER, created to deliver better results for your wear applications… making it even easier to work with JADCO wear resistant steels:

Welding Tips
With stick welding, you only adjust one setting on the welding machine. With wire feed welding, you set voltage and wire speed, which controls amperage.

If You Have Wire Welding Difficulties, It Is Seldom Just One Item IS Causing You Trouble. Usually, It Is Two Or Three Little Things, That Gang Up To Kick Your Butt.

This Trouble Shooting Guide is laid out in step-by-step form, so you can get your challenges sorted out quickly, and become more productive in minutes. It doesn’t matter which make of welder or welding wire you use; this guide will take the mystery out of your welding set up.

Always Weld Safely

  • Ventilation – have adequate air movement so you minimize inhalation hazards.
  • Use personal protective equipment including: protective welding clothing; welding gloves, eye protection, steel toe shoes, welding helmet with correct darkness shade and skull cap. Other safety equipment may be required for specific projects or locations.
  • Equipment – Verify all electrical components are secure with tight connections and no exposed electrical wires. Have the correct shielding gas for the welding wire you will use. 
  • Verify any flammable items are removed from the area. If they cannot be removed, shield them with welding blankets or barriers. Have adequate fire extinguishers readily available and be certain your crew knows how to use them.

For the past 44+ years, JADCO has provided the longest lasting wear resistant steel to heavy industry.  As the industry leader, we know what will deliver the best results for your equipment.
