To calculate the wire feed rate in MIG welding, use the formula: Wire Feed Rate (inches per minute) = (Weld Deposition Rate in pounds per hour × 231) / (Wire Density × Wire Diameter²). Alternatively, many welding machines allow you to set the wire feed rate directly based on your desired amperage and material thickness. Always consult the manufacturer's charts for recommended settings.
