Neat weld procedure..
Here's an interesting weld procedure that is fun to watch!
I wonder how many times they tried this before it actually worked, eih? http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=2c6_1444995882 |

I wonder how many times they tried this before it actually worked, eih? http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=2c6_1444995882 So, has anyone tried this yet? I don't have a welder at my disposal, but this is extremely interesting. At 2:15 in the video, you get a brief look at the bottom. It looks like the weld penetrated all the way through. Pretty impressive. |

I tacked two blades together with a slight gap and used a third mover blade across the welding rod to keep it from moving. Once it started it burned across the blade laying on top and then went out. Most of the deposited metal was on the blade on top. And the weld between the two blades was not very good. The blade on top with the most deposit was not welded to the other two blades. The two blades were attached to each other, but then they were tacked together before I tried the weld procedure. I expect they spent some time getting everything just right. Much easier to just do a regular weld. Dan |

Much easier to just do a regular weld. That video was less than the best in detail... I thought they used something like a brick on top. Something that wouldn't weld/conduct. And 6013 rod is a bugger to run, even pro welders like Jody avoid it... I would guess that it was an easy running rod with a high flux/metal content. Maybe 7018? Jody has a video were he sets up a rod to run itself. It was from awhile back. This one at approximately 2:00 mins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7509VJZZ80 He was using a 7014 rod for that "trick"... -- Leon Fisk Grand Rapids MI/Zone 5b Remove no.spam for email |

I worked at a copper mine where practically everything was "hard surfaced" and the welders had some rod that seemed to be almost 2 feet long that they used with the stinger propped up so the rod wasn't tipped sideways and they did "no hand" hard surfacing on large flat jobs. -- cheers, John B. |
