hey you guys should look at getting some cheap LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY welding masks. you can see through them whilst your not welding really well but as soon as you start welding they darken so you don't go blind 🙂
We are top 1 plastic welding machine in China, mainly produce car parts welding machine, for more information please at me sunnyhoa@keber.com.cn
I don't understand… Nearly every video I see on mid welding for body panels it shows them doing the stop and go pattern like in the video. I was basically told this would completely warp the metal and should be done in a sort of rotating stitch pattern off of tacks around the spot welds. Even give it some time to cool off… This goes against everything I'm being taught… What gauge metal is that?
These are coupons. However, when welding a panel on, you do want to use a skip weld technique to prevent the metal from overheating. This video is demonstrating how to weld. The heat management is taught later after they learn how to weld properly.
hi man, on how many amperes is your welder working?
hey ,if anyone else wants to uncover how do you spray paint a car try Alkarno Spray Paint Alchemist ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate got great results with it.
you panel beaters still usng MIG on light gauge
TIG would be much more appropriate
could you use arc stick welding to achieve this
The triggering method? lol never heard of it prolly cause its a TERRIBLE technique, impossible to get uniform bead , top of your bead toes of your bead, best way to weld thin stuff with mig is to stay far back in the puddle!
I, too, would like to know the gauge of the metal plus your welder settings. Will they be different for an IGBT welder?
Incidentally, your title should say “student-led”. Everyone seems to be getting the past tense confused with the verb read and it’s past tense spelled the same way. Good old English.
