Thanks guys. I have been playing around with it. I think the trouble I have is that I am thinking the base steel sheet metal should melt as with a typical weld. I don't think that can happen here. This is almost brazing using a mig to short circuit and feed the wire. I have had decent luck with half the voltage and twice the wire speed that I would use to weld with carbon steel wire. Any other input would be great. I wish I had the coin for a TIG! Oh, well learn by doing!
