Re: Grade my new welds please HUGE PICS 56K NO WAY
you need to add more rod, looks like you just fused it

Re: Grade my new welds please HUGE PICS 56K NO WAY
more cosistent(seamless) and thinner bead. it looks like there is some undercut too. horrible no j/k its pretty damn good but if you want closer to perfect brush up
|
Re: Grade my new welds please HUGE PICS 56K NO WAY
actually it isnt undercut at all, I measured a corss section of an idential piece to this one and it was 1/32nd on top and 1/32nd on the buttom of the weld making the entire weld 1/8" thick (the same thickness of schedule 10 1.5" pipe) that is if you add 1/32 + 1/32 + 1/16 (thickness of matieral)

Tomarrow I will be playing with differnt torch movements to clean up the weld profile a bit, note I have only been tig welding for almost 2 years now so dont expect engloid (20+ years exp) out of me ;)
In this picture I was using a "stitch" patter, tomarrow I will try pulsing/pump the pedal, and a back and forth method that was recommend to me by RMF Headers. -James |

Re: Grade my new welds please HUGE PICS 56K NO WAY
Having never tig welded before, I read all this ---- and ask myself how much of this technical babble really relates to wether the weld will ever break or not, or if it's like being basketball players comparing who's rims are bigger.
Thank you. :) |
