is there a easy way to tell galvanized from normal mild steel exhaust pipe? i think galvanized is the brighter lookin silver-ish right? cause me and my friend are stupid i guess and were trying to weld galvanized pipe and it was turning out like ----. and then we felt shitty. every where we went like fleet farm n ---- seems to have the gallanized pipe at least in shorter pieces and adapters...

 

If you wled galvie the fumes will kill you.

 

if we never hear from this guy again, we'll know why

 

galvanized pipe I've seen was less shiny and looks spotted

 

weld it... galv will have a blueish smock and leave a white film near the weld. Or you could just throw it out in the rain and see what happens

 

I usually have my heater or a fan blowing the fumes away. First time i welded galvy and inhaled a -----load of the fumes it made me sick as hell.

 

if you are doing any sort of gas welding you don't want a fan blowing away all your shielding gas. i'll assume you are doing flux core.

 

Just hold your breath -----!!

Yeah, white or yellowish residue left after welds is a big giveaway.

 

Weld outside and hold your breath while doing it, it's that easy.

 

beathe in deep. report back after you die
