Have to weld some hutches to the webing of a beam. Which is the best procedure... using .045 or .030? And which wire type... Hard or Flux?

Thanks in advance.

out of position hard wire is too hard without pulse. fluxcore any size wire will do. if you could explain a hutch and give a little more info could dial it all in. does the weld have to be pretty or just functional. like i say a little more info would make it so that we could give you the exact info.
i noticed this is only your second post welcome to aws

Darren,
I'm glad to be here. I posted this in two places, and didn't mean to. I got some of the answers I needed, and will be working hard this weekend to prefect it.
