        This is killing me cause my YesWelder MIG-205DS welds crack on steel, Using 0.035-inch wire at 24V, and welds fails under stress. How i can avoid this problem?

          Cracks comes from rapid cooling or poor prep, Preheat steel to 200°F before welding, My YesWelder had cracking issues too, Use 25 CFH argon for coverage, Set wire speed to 240 ipm, Clean with acetone, Use 7018 electrode, Ensure slow cooling.

            Try slower cooling, it makes welds stronger.
