Yeah but have you seen the ugly girls they have to sleep with? Better pay me a ton too!
why ?
Yeah true, but just because someone does not snip off then end of the wire doesn’t mean they are not a good welder.
But in context if you have been busting your arse welding all day in a shed, in long pants, long shirt, long gloves, face covered in a welding helmet and it is about 108 or 42degress, you aint gunna snip off the wire……. and for this example if really makes no difference. It’s just part of a cage for the ute. A flap dics will tidy it up nicely.
Most good Welders would know to snip the end of the wire with a pair of side cuters….before u start welding…..
depends what you’re welding. Guys who weld gas lines in the middle of knowwhere get upwards of 300,000US per year.
nope, just skilled
technically, mig and stick welding are both types of arc welding, as it involves an electrical arc to build the puddle, however, most people refer to arc welding when talking about STICK welding, and MIG when referring to MIG. There are actually three main types of arc welding: MIG, TIG, and STICK.
remember dude… the thinner the parent material, the more distortion, including longitudinal, transversal, and radial. just because a part is tacked into place with 1 or 2 tacks does not mean that it will always stay that way or that it can withstand distortion of ALL angles. Metals will always shrink with heat no matter ‘how many’ tacks you put on it before you weld it up. It’s a matter of ‘where’ the tacks are to stop the shrinking forming any distortion, and peening to help prevent it.
so the i guess you just jump on the gun and pour it in eyh? no though for heat stress or warping the job, or if your getting proper penetration
Technically, any welding that uses an electrical arc to provide the heat is arc welding. That includes MIG, TIG, and what you described, which I’ve always called stick welding. Therefore the “proper” name for MIG is GMAW, Gas Metal Arc Welding, and stick/arc is SMAW, Shielded Metal Arc Welding.
Not to be a stickler, it’s just that if someone said “arc welding” to me I wouldn’t be sure they meant stick.
don’t have to be a genius to weld…
im not quite sure why so many tacks its only necessary to hold the piece in place. anyway i guess everyone has different techniques
very interest but he didnt say he use co2 gas
Mig Welding consists of using a wire feed and a certian type of gas ( im not to sure of the different types but im sure they are easy to find ) Arc welding consists of using a stick covered by a flux coating.
is mig welding the same as arc welding?
good vid
hahaha yer yer whatever my welding is something you could only dream of
you are a complete moron and have just made a total fool of yourself ! you cant weld, your not smart enough.
LOL @ some of these comments. your video was very instructional ty.
wow are you ever stupid. UK?
So it is true, welders do have a low IQ. Learn how to spell ya moron.
If you are going to teach the proper technique for MIG welding with solid wire, you need to make sure before you strike your arc, you need to remove the glob of metal at the end of your wire. I see twice on your video, that when you went to strike your arc, you have blow back due to the solid glob at the end of your wire. This needs to be removed to ensure proper penetration at the start of the arc. Leaving the glob attached will trap the silicas in the glob.
You seem to talk yourself up a bit there buddy.
I was just showing people what a tack weld is in this video, and a small weld bead. That’s all.
I wasn’t saying that I was going to show how to measure and tack and recheck for square etc.
Please repost in English please.
1. What am I posing?
2. Yes tack welding isn’t hard to do. I never said it was.
3. Grow a brain, get a life and don’t insult your intelligence?
WTF?
Why would you make a comment like that? I’m sorry if I did indeed insult your intelligence. But please tell me how I insulted it.
