I started to fabricate my rear exhaust turbo manifold today. My welds look like bridshit, but they at least penetrate to the other side without backcutting the material. Not bad for a 70 AMP fluxcore and no experience.





And here are the last of the initial welds. I'll be grinding a good bit down. And machining the mating surface flat. But you get the idea of my pathetic welds.
:P



I'll complete the initial welds as soon as I pick up another spool of wire.

Those look great for your first welds!! Nice work.

 

Is that on a harbor freight ad ?

 

good job man, i wish i still had my welder. stupid pawn shops.........

 

Thats actually really ------- good

 

I'm quessing no shielding gas that help for the prettyness and penetration too. but good for a beginner

 

That is a great starting point for just learning to weld.

 

Yea, it's a Flux-core welder.

Thanks. I thought it was pretty good, considering it's the first thing I've actually welded.

 

flux strikes again. I still like my 100 dollar hf flux, thing has saved me many times

 

what kinda car is that manifold for?
