For certification of the production pipe welds or for qualification/certification of the welder/operator?
Well if you compare bevel to non bevel welded, and ignore the human error. WHen both properly welded, the beveled joint will be stronger. Tech speaking, a part pen weld, at the root is a the start of a crack too
I said I wasn't interested anymore but back to one of my posts earlier, Beveling a T joint will allow the perpendicular piece to be penetrated well with the current settings on the welder, however the rest of the parent material is still at full thickness and less penetration will be achieved to the base plate and the full thickness piece just above the beveled area. A way to overcome this would be to pre-heat the base plate with a rose bud as for the perpendicular beveled piece pre-heating it would most likely cause the welder to blow through the beveled area. The better way to get even and equal penetration to both pieces of material would be to use an alternate form of welding like spray transfer. And how often is it going to be realistically possible to pre-heat any metal near most of the welding projects that the members of this board are attempting. If your going to try to convince audiences through proper debate you have to fully consider those you are trying to convince. Most of the non status quo info coming into this discussion is irrelevant to the non certified homeowner hobbyist.
Cuz you dont get it.
I want a trailblazer, lucky b*std
Calling out your credentials as well, this isn't my first engine drive. The other one had a hobbs meter but I don't remember the hours. If my mig machines could tell time they'd say to my engine drive " I was over the hill be fore you were on the tit." Personal attacks don't help anyone's cause I wouldn't recommend continuing them. I fully support beveling and do when appropriate. But the audience needs catering. If you look closely there's a cameo
Dont mind max hes just another leg humper and doesnt belong in a welding thread.. he's been known to weld without a helmet and get severe flashburn more than once so he really shouldnt even be near a welder
I will be getting this at my work shop next week. Lincoln Power Mig 350MP. It's pretty sick. 350 amps, and will do stick which will be cool for carbon arc gouging, as well as pulsed arc mig. It is capable of GTAW as well, and push/pull wire feeding for aluminum and/or a longer hose because it can be equipped with a feed roller at the gun.Not that it has any bearing on the discussion, but I'm stoked.They told me to get what I wanted so this is definitely it.
Bought one a couple months ago, very nice. You will be stoked. We ordered a spool gun, so I'll let you know how that works out.
