Why does my welder keep burning back?
Burn back is also very common. It results when a weld forms in the contact tip. It usually occurs when the wire is fed too slowly or the MIG gun is held too close to the base metal. To correct burn back, increase the wire feed speed and lengthen the distance of the MIG gun from the workpiece.
Why do welders drink milk after welding?
Holding the milk in your mouth forces the welder to breathe through their nose. Again, this process relies on the respiratory system with the welding fume being transported to the welder’s lungs.
What mostly the causes that can defect on the finished weldment?
Major causes
- Hydrogen embrittlement.
- Residual stresses.
- Cracks.
- Distortion.
- Gas inclusion.
- Inclusions.
- Lack of fusion and incomplete penetration.
- Lamellar tearing.
Why is my welder burning holes?
Burn through happens when your welder is set to a higher amperage which makes a hotter weld while at the same time welding a thin piece of metal causing it to blow through the metal creating a hole. To prevent this you need to turn down your amperage and make smaller welds to keep the base metal from getting too hot.
What is burn back control on a MIG welder?
A ‘burnback’ control sets the amount of wire to ‘burn back’ after you release the trigger of your torch. For example, with a max burnback, once you have finished a weld, the wire will burn almost right back to the tip. Just set it somewhere in the low to middle and you should be ok.
What is the average life expectancy of a welder?
It can be varied from 1 to more than 40 years. Li et al. reported some cases with 36 years of working history as a welder (14). However in some other studies, there are cases with 40 years of experience in welding (15).

What is a burnback in welding?
A burnback in welding is when your wire burns back and sticks itself to your contact tip. There are several reasons this can happen. The most primary causes of burnbacks in a robotic application include:

Why does my robotic welder keep burning out?
Go ahead and elaborate if you want to, Jay. The biggest reason I see consistent burnback in robotic welding is because the feeder tension isn’t set right. Usually this stems from your wire feeder tension not being tight enough and the weld wire barely skipping through.
