FCAW and Stick welding Sunday
I'm Getting better on the FCAW. There are 3 start/stops that you can hardly see.
Oh 1/2 decent.
Another half decent weld.
WHAT IS THAT!?!! Must have been welding steel with a propane torch? Well this is what happens when you try to put two welds on top of the first one, to make it look better when you don't use enough amps or go slow enough because the blades are 1/16" and you have already burnt through them.
Well, now that I have already done it, I wish I would have done it different... I welded two angle pieces then welded those together. Made it harder for myself and it didn't turn out with square angles. When I do it again I will but joint two pieces then tack it on one side. Then I will tack the third one on the opposite side and I will grind the two original tacks off. Then I will tack the fourth one on and then I will finish welding it. Might try new thicker steel too.
7018 stick welds:Getting better.
Now I kinda like that one.
Okay everybody... You know there are some things you just have to try to see what will happen lol
This is what happens to 1/4" thick steel when you weld with a 1/8" 6011 rod that is meant for 125 amps at 140 lol. The last part of the weld (left to right) was a huge hole from it, but I managed to fill it in, at 140 amps, just barely...
I would like to use this as my third project for the contest.
