Well must read and practise now

anny good free pdf books?

"I'm not exactly sure what you are looking for"

I am looking for welding manuals, pdf books that can improwe my arc welding

Did not found anny manuals in there

Hello people :) Its me again. I am looking for some welding manuals that could be found online in PDF form. I have searched google and found tons of data and simply can not decide what to read what to skipp...being a welding begginer I cant decide what manuals are good what are bad. So in this topic...

Thakns werry much.

Qwerty12. Tanks for sharing about 'starting the arc'. As a parallel issue, it is important to only start that arc within the joint to be welded. Accidentally depositing 'ark strikes' on the base metal next to the joint, is a defect to nearly all welding codes and specifications. Alexa Sory...did no...

and I was thinking that it was a problem with bad welding technique

are you saying to me that this phenomenon is a normal isue :?: It happens always? Is there a way to stop this? A coarse file seems like good idea buth that takes time...its much less time consuming to grab electrode holder kammer few times on metal until it strarts to arch and then to weld :roll:

Its me again :) Welding myself a tube frame for a tools shelves. I bought today 1kg 3.2 6013 rods and started the job. Welding goes good. I am runinng on 110 amperage(Cant get more rood burns like firework and burns holes) and cant get lower must make good penatration weld. And the welds look god. B...

@Alexa sory buth I did not understood you. Is my weld anny god or totaly bad? @WerkSpace Ofcourse I cleaned weld before welding(the place where groung goes and of each side of weld for abouth 2mm. BUth you cant see it because ower the cleaned area there is weld now. Did not clean it to much becouse ...

Is this weld anny good?

Unfortunaly I cant aford myself new welder.

Must fight with one I have.,

today bought 1.5mm electrodes

much easyer to start arch on 55 amps but burns trought the metal like hell

if I could make amperage lower than 55A it could be done much better

any idea?

I will try to do it with my ac. Maybe just need to practise more. One thing I noticed... it blows less when I use larger electrode. With 2mm electrode arc is easy to start buth it goes trought metal. And 2.5 electrde is hard to start buth les burn trought does. Maybe because 55 amerage cant warm 2.5...

I have a soldering gun like this one on picture:
http://www.girr.org/girr/tips/tips6/too ... ng_gun.jpg

Could that do the trtick?

But harder to bend in a exhaust curve

thanks wery much

maybe the problem is in my welding device its range is from 55 to 160 ampr

is there any way to make it weld on les than a 55 amps ?

I have managed it to weld sheet metal into a good joint. Cant separate them eaven with a hamer.

Buth I cant get it withouth holes

It holds good buth the smoke from the engine will come all over the exhaust

Holes are giving me hard time
