It does look good when you finished it. I use stainless steel tape and a line sander so there's no hand work except on inside corners. Also when I finish tig welding an inside corner I let it cool for a few seconds and then using one of those toothbrush size stainless wire brushes that I ground to a pointed edge down the length of the head, I brush it to remove all the color. It brushes off easily when it's hot but not too hot. Another thing I like to do on thin wall tubing joints is to put a flat piece of stainless inside behind the weld joint so it doesn't shrink and make a dip in the surface. I noticed you had to work a good bit on getting the last bit of flaw in the surface probably because the surface had shrunken down from heat shrinkage. The inner piece works very well on straight joints in round tubing. Without it after blending the joint a low spot will be noticeable especially if it's mirror polished. It does take a precision disc but if it's thick enough it also aligns the joint perfectly.

I Love this! I work for ELKAY Manufacturing in Broadview, Illinois, in the US (just outside of Chicago). I work in a custom & industrial scullery dept. I love the way that you did the maitre weld! We actually use cylindrical grinding stones (and 100-grit "highlight") on ours, but I actually prefer the way you demonstrated... At least for maitred corners. Thank you for the video! P.S. in the mid-2000s, when our location still made a wide variety of kitchen sinks, our plant was featured in a television program called "How It's Made." The filming took place during 2nd shift, about a year or 2 after I moved to 1st shift (I was really hoping to be on the show!). Anyhow, I DID know all of the people who were featured in the program. Our plant still makes SOME kitchen sinks, but mostly industrial and custom sinks, as well as drinking fountains (I think everyone has used an "ELKAY" drinking fountain at some point, as we are world-wide, though mostly in the 🇺🇸, with plants in 🇨🇦, 🇲🇽, and even a couple in 🇨🇳.

I often find myself having undercut with these types of joint welds too, and grinding the weld clean can be a pain in the ass. How do you do it? Weld colder? Thicker filler rod? Or higher amps but way quicker travel speed? Problem is I don't want to compromise on the penetration.

@GmGrayfox

Жыл бұрын

@@Lonx2reel2breel torch angle is a big one. Usually you can see the undercut as you’re welding and can go back and fill it. Just make sure to burn into the edges of your bevel. Also, this guy making the video did a lot of grinding. Usually if undercut appears after a couple good passes with a sanding disk, its a good idea to go back and fill the undercut with weld then continue sanding. He might’ve dishes out the corner but we wouldn’t know because he didn’t put a straight edge across it.

Great work. I started to work with inox brushing and i have big box shaped parts wich have to be welded on corners, so my question is there the way to blend welds to not brush all surfaces, the part is made of brushed sheets

@weldingempire

Hey BMWM20, great question. Yes you can do it. But 90% of the work is making sure the 2 edges have no gaps between them. Then you can fuse the two pieces with no filler wire. I like to have a thick piece of aluminium angle behind it to take the heat away, while keeping everything square. All going well you only need to touch the weld its and not anywhere else. I would use a unitised disc. Hope that helps

Hi, to maintain the grain a good quality red abrasive pad would be fine. Use a very small amount of kerosene with the pad. Use a sanding block to evenly spread the pad over the whole surface. Just do one continuous stroke over each length until you are happy with the look. Changing directions will be very noticeable. Warm soapy water to remove the kerosene with a clean cloth and follow the same one direction method. I am glad you found the video helpful and I hipe that helps. Cheers.

Hey Fabian, if the scratches aren't to bad on the fridge use red scotch brite pad. The pad will need to be on a sanding block. Use a small amount of kerosene as a cutting lubricant. Keep in line with the grain of the stainless (very important) and each stroke needs to be the full length of the fridge or you will notice the changes in direction. Hope that helps.
