What thickness or gauge is standard automotive sheetmetal. 03-30-2005, 05:14 PM. What thickness or gauge is standard automotive sheetmetal on American vehicles, such as a door skin or fender skin. I'm practicing up on my Mig and am trying to determine settings, using ER70-6S and C25. The tables in my texts and on the machine reference gauge.

When some one starts off welding, they only think of welding, but in reality, jobs come in requiring welding and mechanical skills.

Much of the plate thickness depends on joint prep, such as a V or u groove. 3/32" 6010 is good for 14g up to about 3/16", 1/8" 6010 good for 1/8" up to about 1/4". 5/32" 6010 good for 1/4" up to 1/2". My suggestions are for small projects, not maximum speed. As for your question about 3/16" rod, I don't know, but it requires more amps than many ...
67eb: If you can't completely read the chart Kevin (from Miller) sent you, the Millermatic Calculator has: Material Type, Thickness, Volt Settings, Wire Feed Speed settings for .030, .035, & .045 solid wire, and .045, 1/16, 3/32, & 1/8 flux core wire, Automated Submerged Arc and Deposition rates per hour.
Tweet. #1. Mig wire size .030 or .035. 02-18-2009, 10:42 PM. According to charts for thicker material you should use .035 but most welding shops say .030 works great on most applications with the millermatic machines. I own a MM211 welding between 1/8- 1/4 material using C02. Tags: None.
Either would do but I'd go with .023 and the recommended -6 in my opinion. The .023 won't require as much heat as the .030 and will be a little easier to control. Again, IMO but I've never restored a 30's gem. MM200 w/spot controller and Spoolmatic 1. Syncrowave 180 SD.
For starters on AC with aluminum use 110HZ, 72 EN balance, no pulse, and approximately 1 amp per .001” of material thickness. For example 1/8” =.125 inches or 125 amps. I hope this helps. By the way 3/32” 2% lanthanated does 99% of my work. I use the 1/16” diameter for the thin stuff as in 22 gauge for your work.
i am imagining the following experiment: take two 2" x 36" strips of 1/16" AL sheet 6061-T6. anneal one sheet and leave the other at T6 temper. then take both sheets and lay them across a 30" wide span (not fixing the endpoints). they will obviously both sag somewhat in the middle. but i am thinking the annealed sheet will sag more.
Also, on page 22 of my 180 SD's owners manual it says 2% 3/32 thoriated tungsten is good from 135-235 amps, would it be better for me to use 1/16 X 1 1/2% lanthanated or 1/16 ceriated tungsten to tig 1/8 steel on my 180SD. Thanks guys for any help. Tags: None. klsm54. Senior Member.
