    How to fix porosity in ESAB Welding System weld metal?
    • J
      Jennifer CalderonJul 27, 2025
      To address porosity in the weld metal when using an ESAB Welding System: * Ensure your gas bottle isn't empty. * Verify the gas regulator is open. * Inspect the gas inlet hose for leaks or blockages. * Confirm the correct gas type and flow are being used. * Minimize the distance between the MIG torch nozzle and the workpiece. * Thoroughly clean the workpiece before welding.

      David LeeAug 6, 2025
      To resolve wire feeding issues with your ESAB Welding System, consider the following: * Ensure the wire spool brake is properly adjusted. * Verify the feed roller is the correct size and not worn. * Set the correct pressure on the feed rollers. * Confirm proper direction of motion based on wire type (into the weld pool for aluminum, away from the weld pool for steel). * Use the correct contact tip, ensuring it's not worn. * Ensure the liner is the right size and type for the wire. * Make sure the liner isn't bent, which could cause friction.

    What causes TIG welding problems in ESAB EM 215ic?
    • G
      George CookAug 21, 2025
      To troubleshoot TIG (GTAW) welding problems with your ESAB Welding System: * Ensure the TIG torch lead is connected to the negative welding terminal. * Make sure the correct shielding gas, gas flow, voltage, welding current, travel speed, filler rod placement, electrode diameter and welding mode on power source is used. * Ensure the work clamp has proper contact with the workpiece. * Verify the gas valve on the TIG torch is open.
