Part Two Of Abes Welding

[Abe2]

so i started welded about a year back or so and posted up some of my first things i welded on here

thought it may be interesting to see where im at now

heres a link of my old post http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/382472-abes-tig-work/page__fromsearch__1

and i will upload some pictures on some of this month work

[Abe2]

this is a exhaust i made for a v35 came out really well and sounded stupid tuff but not to loud

a could of the welds i did on out custom drift hand brakes

a pic of a friends engine bay from a gtir pulser

a pic of us doing tube front end and tubs as a result of getting into a fight with a wall

half way though doing the tubs all painted

heres a couple of the cooler piping and everything complete in the dyno room awaiting tune

everything done on this car had been done by myself from the manifold to the exhasut to the cooler piping

a pic of the orange havoc r33 finished for now

heres a sr High and Low mount manifold we did

and a quick system we did for a n/a s13

thank you very much for having a looksie

still having a ball and still learning

Nice work Abe, you surely have some patience for those bends!!!!

Just a couple of things to note for those out there getting started.....and some tips for you Abe

The weld on the drift handbrake is pulsed, either by pedal or machine, and there is nothing wrong with that. You can see the eye of the weld which is not a good thing. Reason being, this is can cause cracks....not saying that it will, just trying to help out. This can come down to a number of things:

- too much variance between high current and low current, ie, increase background current % or increase amps between pulse

- spacing between beads to wide, ie, reduced the distance you travel between pulses (assuming pulse is set really low <10pulse per second)

- not enough filler rod for each bead, ie, add more filler rod

When you add all these together, you will get a lot stronger weld and 100 times better looking best of both welds.

Also, what filler wire did you use on the sr20 high mount manifold? the colour looks strange for what appears to be mild steel?

Happy welding everybody,

Ariel
