What size weld are you trying to achieve with that .047 wire dia? You might want to make the jump to .062 for better arc characteristics and current carrying capability. What machine are you using and are you using a push pull gun? A Argon/helium mix would most deffinetly give you better results, but it's more expensive. Good results can however be achieved with pure Argon.
