Just a tip, when using flux core, make sure your positive current is going to the ground clamp and the negative to the torch. You want to put the heat into the metal. Also, get some "anti-spatter" spray and spray your metal surfaces before welding. The spatter will then just brush off. With thin metal, try moving a little faster. Moving slow on thin metal will definitely blow holes in the metal.

Interesting video. I am somewhat related to welding, so kinda want to leave a little word here. A little back story: I'm not a welder, but work in a department of a certain powerplant that is responsibile for quality check of welds that hold pressure up to 160 atmospheres and with temperature up to 540 celsium. We work here with different alloys and "usual" steel of different thickness, and we use both post-heat, pre-heat and basically heat treatment of welds. Weld itself is... quite messy, I'd personally recommend to "even" the metal of weld after finishing the job for better stress resistance. Pressure on weld always concentrates in uneven spaces, so the less of them there, the better. Welding a big bulge is usually a not too good thing, especially if its uneven. Next thing is post heat treatment. Well, actually its related to whole heat treatment thing. If you work with "usual" steel it is enough to just wrap the weld in insulation to not allow it to cool fast. But there are big but's here. This whole heat treatment works only from highly thick parts. For example for 1020's steel heat treatment starts from thickness of 20 milimeters and goes like: heat the welding parts to ~100-150 cel and then weld, after that wrap in insulation and let it cool for around 3 hours. If thickness of parts is lower than 20 mm heat treatment is unneeded because... It doesn't really change anything. With simple alloys like A182 heat treatment starts from around 12 mm. But in all cases heat treatment is done before and during weld or right after you finish. With the thickness of metal on the frame of TW200 it won't change much of its properties. Rather it could help to just hammer the weld (not too hard, to not damage it) a few times to relieve the weld stress. Not sure if this message will cause a holy war about heat treatment, but just wrote my thoughts on the case. Biggest advise would be to level and even the weld that you made and make smooth merge between weld and frame metal. *watches video till the end* Oh, it's been a year. Don't mind all what I wrote above :)

thank you! I may have to give brazing a try at some point

Just for the record voltage changes the width of the bead, amps control penetration. In the case of a constant voltage machine like your using wire speed is tied to amps, therefore more wire speed is more penetration. Additionally reducing contact tip to work distance (stick out) will also increase penetration. Not trying to go around correcting you just offering some useful information. This was something we were taught very early on in my welding engineering program, and something I have proved myself with robotic welding and cut/etch.

@TDubsKid

Жыл бұрын

thanks for the insight. makes sense. closer the tip to the work piece . less wire there is to melt so less resistance which translates to higher amperage. further away contact tip, more wire there is to melt so more resistance which decrease amps.

Thank you! And yeah, youtube changed some stuff and I’m having a hard time trying to figure out if i need to select that box or not since i use affiliate links in the description, im thinking not because that note seems to refer to the video itself which this one did not have a paid promotion haha.
