Why is my Sealey Welding System producing a porous weld?
- XxbrownAug 19, 2025
A porous weld in your Sealey Welding System can occur due to several reasons: * Lack of gas: Ensure the gas cylinder is open and the gas flow is regulated. * Clogged gas cup: Clean or replace the gas cup. * Draft: Shield the welding site or increase gas flow to prevent drafts from blowing away the shielding gas. * Rusty/dirty joints: Clean or grind the workpiece to remove rust and dirt. * Incorrect torch distance/angle: Maintain a gas cup to workpiece distance of 8-10mm and a torch angle of approximately 75°. * Gas leak: Check hoses, connections, and the torch assembly for any leaks.
