help needed again
While fillet welding 18 gauge to 1/8' steel , I am getting a yellow flashing , that is too bright to see the weld . Material is 18 cold rolled to 1/8 hot rolled . Hot rolled was sanded and wiped with non chlorinated brake cleaner . The welder is a 300 Dynasty DX with knobs . Gas flow at 17.5 CFM . I have seen this occasionally before , but this piece seems to be unweldable .

solved
The problem was the automatic helmet sensor not seeing arc and the bright yellow is the normal welding color . Repositioning the assembly solved mystery . -
CFM vs CFH
Am Curious...Originally posted by Milton View Post
what brand and model helmet...?? might need new batteries..
BTW... Argon flow would be in CFH (Cubic Feet per Hour)... 17.5 CFM would be a hurricane at the torch... and you would be trading gas bottles a couple times an hour..

Have you checked the Hobart site for your helmet??Originally posted by Milton View Post
is it one of these?? have been unable to cross it by the "770098" number
They all seem to use just one battery that is behind a threaded door..
like a miniature manhole cover..
There are more manuals here
