Welding Wire Options

Welding wire or not?

• For thin plates less than 1mm, the base material can be melted directly to form the weld seam without the need for additional welding wires.
• If the weld seam is relatively small, it can also be welded using autogenous welding, which does not require additional welding wires.

Welding wire material

Welding wire diameter

• The diameter of the welding wire should not be smaller than the gap of the weld, and the thickness of the workpiece is not recommended to be less than the diameter of the wire.
• xTool MetalFab laser welder now supports wires of 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 1.2mm, 1.6mm.
• For metals≥4mm, it's recommended to use 1.2mm wire. For metals of 2-3mm, it's recommended to use 1.2mm wire. For metals ≤1mm. it's recommended to use 0.8mm wire. This is only for recommendation, the final choice should be based on the welding results and demands.

Welding Tips

• Choose the proper welding parameters according to your demands. (How to Choose Welding Parameters?) 
• The welding nozzle of the welding gun should be inclined at a 45° angle to the weld seam.

• The welding wire must not deviate from the weld seam.
• During wire feeding, do not pull the wire with your hand; the wire feeder will drive the welding gun automatically.

Hands pulling the wire, too high speed	Auto wire feeding, proper speed

• After welding, manually lift the gun to avoid wire sticking.

• It is recommended to perform tack welding first, followed by continuous welding.

• When welding, leave space for deformation.
