Some of my tig welding
1 Attachment(s)
I took a quick picture of the tig weld I laid down. The project was to weld a bolt on plate to the main hoop of this roll cage. It was for my cousins S-10..
Shitty Picture! sorry Attachment 12559 |

Re: Some of my tig welding
did you think of possibly using any filler?
im pretty sure jb weld will hold up better then that undercut fail and is that plate aluminum? |
Re: Some of my tig welding
Filler was used, and its mild steel.

Re: Some of my tig welding
Put up some more pics. I would like to see the whole cage or at least what you have done so far. Do you bend it all yourself? Id it prefab?

I aint bashing, but when it comes to a safety item. Holy crap. Tigging aint like using a sharpie man. That ---- needs to be tossed. IDK how thick that pipe is, but that can't possibly be even 1/2 strength at any point based on the poor electrode angles and massive undercut & underfill. And your pattern is spaced too far apart. That wouldn't be a "hey your weld test instantly failed" problem - if it was filled correctly and the sides weren't cut in & washed down so bad. The way it is, that causes a weak point to be even weaker! |
