  • 13 lb/hr MIG - [1]
  • 25 lb/hr Metal core wire - [2]

Cost of a 200' Tower, 4' Diameter, 1/4" Wall Thickness

  • Welding wire - $68 for 44 lb - [3]
  • Alibaba shows 50 cents per lb - [4]
  • 12' length of diameter. 12 SF per foot of height. 6" build per hour. 400 hours for tower, or just 17 days. Could possibly increase to 12 welders, at 8 days for the tower.
  • It would be useful to make wire for reduced cost
