For welding all steels-spring, mild, free machining, tool steel, stainless, and cast steel. Brutus MIG combines the ease of gas metal arc welding with the exceptional properties of the Brutus alloys.
Brutus MIG can be used to join and build up all types of steel where a strong and ductile alloy is required. It is particularly useful in maintenance work where the exact type of steel may not be known and for joining dissimilar steels. Excellent as a build-up for final passes of tool steel or for shaft build-up. Download PDF

Recommended Settings
Use Reverse Polarity (DCEP)
Recommended Settings:
.035 Diameter – 15-24 volts, 60-160 amps, 15 gas flow (ft3/hr)
.045 Diameter – 15-30 volts, 125-300 amps, 20 gas flow (ft3/hr)
Best Practices
Base metal must be cleaned completely.
Make sure the root pass fuses completely.
Oxide film from each deposit must be brushed off with stainless brush between multi-pass welds.
For high alloys and heavy sections preheat to 400ºF (204ºC).
We recommend Gemini Anti-Spatter spray for lasting protection of your contact tip and MIG nozzle (see chemical aids in Abrasives & Metalworking products section).
