fluxcore cureall or downfall?
 

Hey guys,
Just wondering when I get my manifold kit in would it be alrgiht to weld it my my lincoln (fluxcore)? will it hold up to the temps?
I've welded cat back and thats it with no prob. Just wondering if it can withstand the EGT's. Or should I (cringe) pay bubba joe at midas to weld it for me. I saw a down pipe fluxcored but I figure thats no wear near as hot right? let me know what you think......DL

thanks
I just thought i might buy the mig conversion first 8) maybe I still will (cleaner welds) but there is always the grinder and dremel ;D

You will be fine.

And FYI: when it comes to a little welder, Fluxcore will be able to weld at a higher heat seeting and produce stronger welds on thicker material. It just doesn't look as nice.
Here is one of my FLuxcores right before I converted. I like welding hot. With fluxcore I found that you need good wire. No cheap stuff.

I use the lincoln electric wire found at Home depot I got a 10lb spool on there now took some rigging. Is there a better brand wire? I think I'm using .09 mm for size.

Re: fluxcore cureall or downfall?
 

what kind of wire did you use and where did you get that ?

Re: fluxcore cureall or downfall?
 

lincoln wire is very easy to work with

my mani was glowing red when i had my ---- super retarded and i never had one leak

Where did I get what? That is sitting on my desk, in front of my computer.

That was a Lincoln MigPack 110v welder with .030 or .035 Lincoln Wire. Aghain I suggest only QUALITY wire, shitty stuff melts funny causing HORRIBLE welds. Trust me I know from experience. It was buffed with a wire brush after, but if you work with fluxcore, the proper heat and wire peed, you can get next to not splatter and with a steady hand, a bead that almost looks like mig. I used to work with an ol' shitty Fluxcore at my old work so I learned how to mess around and "Listen" to my weld.

Yeah i have the same welder( FOR SALE by the way;D)> Anyway just bevel the edges on anything thick that your welding on and you'll be fine dude.
