That’s awesome slag coverage! I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

I’ve tried various settings, travel speed, and drag angles. Should I try another wire?

It’s probably not the machine I think..

What do you suggest?

It might also be a limitation of the wire diameter as it can only hold so much flux powder. 045 diameter wire might fare better in that respect. I'll try it out tomorrow with mine. Thanks! If you could try it and maybe post a photo that would be awesome. The reason why I’m so obsessed about it is a...

In a T-Joint configuration, slag coverage is almost full as you can see,
Maybe that’s just the nature of the wire in flat horizontal.

I did more welding tonight and it's the same, cannot get consistent slag coverage with various settings, angles, speed. I'm also watching this video by Miller, and it's got the same issue - go to 2:31s and you can see the slag coverage is really bad as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kI7GOVrB3...

Did you ever figure this out. I'm having the same issue. My equipment is Lincoln Electric MigPak 140 correct polarity according chart for FCAW. Running also the NR-211-MP .35 wire. I've tried various settings, various angle, various travel speed, it's the same. https://i.ibb.co/0j41HZx/weld.jpg
