Had no idea what this thread was going to be about. A little more descriptive title would be nice in the future. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
Anyway, I'm not sure what your serious welds were actually like. You can crap a monster bead on and have no strength. As was mentioned, what matters is getting good penetration. I've also seen a lot of welds that are just run in a line, where as most strong welds have the fish scale look instead. Working side to side and getting a good melt into both pieces is important. It would be really worthwhile to get some first-hand instruction from a really good/experienced welder. |
