I allso imagine that you were speaking cast iron, have to read more carefuel next time.

YEAP bucket would be fine and yeas so that the sand is surrounding the part and more you but sand over it slower it cools (installation to heat) put it some where middle of that bucket (i dont know how much 5 gallon is but 10L bucket i would use. One tip that try to do your welding at "first&qu...

There is bottom vessel and some other parts (vessel doesent show in pic.. We do fit-tack weld thees parts under the truck so the fit up is up to me what kind a gap i can Tig, and a time when it needs to be done.. But welds are pressure tested about 6-8bar (way more then needs) I like this kind jobs ...

Here is couple pictures at my works. This one is 10m long and 2.20m high. inside there is same kind looking round plates (like that end) I weld whit Pulsed Fronius Mig gas is Argon/Co2 mixture material is 304L

Beautiful looking aluminium welds you have made. I enjoy when i know that weld appearence is a matter too. Then i realy try to do my best.

Unless Esab markets using different number systems around the world if it were 6013 the number would be 46.00 - rods starting 63.XX are in the austenitic stainless range & under the generic term " Almat " - maybe the numbers are different in the UK ? YEAP My mistake it was 43.32 :D Wh...

Whatcing that Jody welding different type rods. I became curious what kind of bead i could lay down. And this was ESAB rods it was 63.?? but anyway 3,2 mm 125Amps makes nice looking weld.

So i woul like to hear your thoots about welding downhill whit pulse. Im thinking that it is lots of better to penetrate then welding whit out pulse. We weld some of our SS welds down hill no 90 degrees but like 45. and its lap joimt to 6mm to 4mm and welds all around.. That part is like a skate boa...

At quik try focus your arc eavenly on both sides, and maybe adjust HZ Frequence if you can? bigger the HZ like 150-200 the narrow the arc is.

Yeap you said it right... Thanks Markus you too. I have to write one grinding style/tool (That cutting site) what makes aluminium welding running smoother, and easier to find porosity on weld layer or welding crappy AL...

YEAP At the moment everything is going fine in work 8-) Like you can imagine that probaly 90-95% that container/tank welds are made By me.. Older guyes makes parts ready for me and i just but them Place and BZZZZZ ZAP its there i weld whit Fronius machine 300A Pulsed, specialy made for excotic metal...

HI STEVE :) Hoping that you would answer.. Works are going fine 8-) Im the man who now welds all the tanks/containers at that stage (photo) Then it goes pressure test and and then others start to make that casing and rear kabinets,pumps ect you know.. Xrays have been fine last ones wore 8 shots by 2...

Just a litle freshing my Tig skills on pipe.. At work i weld mostly on MIG, SS or AL Oil/Fuel/chemical (containers trucks) I recall when i did this test like 8 months ago and i weld like 5-6 passes to fill that bevel :lol: No it takes only three whit 2mm wire.. I try consistanly to weld some 6g TIg ...

Heres a picture so thoos cross sections will allways be x-rayd an overall therewill be taken quit many of them,when it builds up.. Other pic is inside look of my "office" about 10m long and 2.2m high But you get the point that there is lots of places to make mistake on welds if its not don...

That base metal contamination im mainly worry about,because lack of fusion what showed on Xray doesen make sence to me whit that much root opening and welding both sides.. I just started to Think If that oxidation eaven its grind off makes uneaven melting on base metal.. Like you weld over a tack th...

So if anyone can tell me facts for oxidation when welding 3mm stainless steel 316L whit 316L filler 98%Argon and 2% co2. Im gona weld ss tank truck whic is used to drive dangerous liquids. I weld it both sides first out then in. And they are welded somehow like this: First tack weld inside,then weld...

I had same problem lately at my job. Old machine which had worked fine before me. :lol: Any way i was very frustraited whit it.. Just started at new job and my welds looked like fired whit SHOTGUN :lol: Nice to complain about welder in new job immediately.. But i was right driwe roll looked like fin...

We have allso cracks to repair 2-5 times a week if trailer is run up something? Or sterss crack is appear somewhere inside.. I have repaired only couple but can say that ITS NOT EASY JOB TO DONE MOST TIMES... When you have round surface under your feat and wobbly stand on boards.. And hole/crack is ...

We have allso FRONIUS at my work. And By welding that machine i can say its realy good its Synergid- Pulsed MIG/MAG whit TIG/STICK. It has programmed different alloys (like Lincoln does when you choose program) Anyway it has some guality parts because it can be weld Stainless whit very long stick ou...

THanks a lot man ;) Here we weld allmost allways ESAB,KEMPPI, Both good machines.. I weld litle bit aluminium at my previous job whit LINCOLN 300 or 350 Aluminium if i recall right?? Its a pulsed machine ESAB, but thoos riples are made By weawing some eeees) If you have douple pulse its good feature...

Now welding Aluminium tank what is been modify.. Welds are made ESAB MIG 3000 Aristo and ESAB wires... I have started to like weld Aluminum at overhead and vertical more then steel.. I was suprised how well it goes when ewerything is correct.. Tank has new bottom vessel and one more section then bef...

Thanks.. :D Today was pressure test one tank that i welded, and darrm i was nervouse of that :shock: Here comes allways outside inspectore to chek that test... But it hold, no leaks ... Here Finland the new law lets trucks load more weight on their axels. So that reason old tanks are now extendet.. ...

I've not used that machine, so I'll offer the obvious first: You are switching to "electrode-positive", right? :roll: There are several everlast users here, so you'll get more answers than this, I'm sure. Steve S YEAP I have switched electrode-positive.. It strats bad at 2mm 7018 rods 50-...
