Leeds, North Dakota
Daniel, 1/4 " to 1" is gonna be difficult, what I would suggest, try a piece of scrap first, use carbon dioxide, spatters terrible, but better penetration, I am a miller man,I don't think your welder is gonna cut the mustard, I think you would be better taking to a welding shop with a production welder. What concerns be is the big difference in materials, preheat, next to impossible, we have a production welder 3 phase wire speed 700 rpm drawing 250 amps, one inch gets so darn hot, penetration unbelievable, good luck, Scott.
