6″ aluminum cube
Three years ago I had a fabricating mid term to make a 6″ cube out of a flat piece of 1/8″ metal.
I cut the aluminum to spec and tig welded it up for a 97 out of 100. You’ll have to watch the video to find out why I didn’t ace it.
Lessons learned.
Thanks for reading.
More to come.
Tig Welding examples
Here’s some examples of my Tig welding on Aluminum, Stainless Steel and Mild Steel.
Notice the color patterns on the Stainless Steel and Mild Steel. This color pattern is what welding inspectors look for to show consistent temperature which allows the materials to bond properly.
You can’t really tell from the picture, but the Aluminum is actually a seam weld. I aded filler material right on the edge of the metal. This is very difficult and requires extreme attention.
I’m especially proud of the last image on this post. This was done in the #4 welding position. Completely upside down!!
