Not very good welding

[ieezitin]

Guys.

I just read this thread.

I weld for a living here are the secrets. Cleanliness is next to godliness. It don’t matter if its stick,tig or mig.
The weld process needs to be understood. Oxygen is the enemy, it oxidizes in molten metals, which in turn contaminates the weld, which in turn creates pits, craters and non-fusion.
Second is the machine, most hobbyists more than likely have basic machines that are not forgiving to a amateur so your in the hole before you start But I can be done.

With the right machine in the right conditions I could teach anyone with half an ounce of common sense to weld a decent bead in one hour.

Welding is visual, hand eye coordination, when everything is flowing right, temperature and speed are reached to the sweet spot everything will fall into place, without the understanding listed above the results will always be poor.

I will teach anyone who posts pictures and describes there results for me to read and see. The more information I get the more helpful I will be.

Anthony.
