Hey Guys
Long time lurker first time poster.
I have a kitchen hood to weld that is 18 guage 430 stainless
I never attempted to mig 430 before
I am having a hard time finding a small spool of 430
Also it looks like i need trimix for a shielding gas
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks'
Bill

For the love of everything, TIG it. Don't MIG it.

We used to use 347 ss on gas turbine assemblies that would see heat. Exhaust duct and associated items. I don't know if that was the classification of the wire and the base metal or just the wire.
