silicone bronze welding

by SAKKIE
(SOUTH-AFRICA)

good day Jody.my question to you is,when welding on electro galvanised material,1.0 or 1.2 and 1.6mm thick,with mig or tig weld applications,what gas is the best to use.At this moment I am using argon for tig and cougar 82/18 for mig welding.Do you recommend any other gasses.I use silicone bronze filler wire for both applications.Thank you.

Sakkie,

why the 82/18 on mig? is that a common gas for migging with silbro in south africa?

straight argon is what is called for in the books.

All i have used is straight argon for migging silbro on galvanized.
