you get flow meters on oxy/acetylene torches ? I never seen one .... every day's a school day

 

[yantosh]

just hold the torch further away ?

stainless that's went pretty colours when welding is, as far as I know, more inclined to rust, does simply colouring it with a torch have any similar affect ?

cool to know

i've only ever made simple repairs to a damaged akro end can

found my end of module weld project from when I was 15, Mother had it in cupboard , gas weld and stick weld

 

[yantosh]

watched my apprentice get a rod stuck with stick welding, watched him panic while it went red and started curling into a coil.... good times

 

[yantosh]

never tried it, fancy giving it a go

 

[yantosh]

nothing wrong with that boss

my teacher used to tell us to run hot and fast(er i guess, dont go too fast..) rather than slow and steady. reason being, the hot arc makes a puddle faster and when moving faster with the hotter arc, the HAZ tends to stay smaller. I only did alu a couple times but this has worked for me with steel.

agree there
