Definitely not "walking the cup", those photos are a technique known as "MIG like TIG", which serves no real purpose other than to get oohs and ahhs from people who only care that welds look pretty.Looks like as above TIG and I will add "Walking the Cup".
I believe that is Copper.My only concern with welds like that, you can see very small deposits of yellow slag/residue between each little disc of weld, if that carried all the way through to the root of the weld as a form of lamination would that cause weakness?
Its silica from the welding wire?I believe that is Copper.
All those welds are MIG'd.
It's not overlapping tacks as such, that's what we refer to as the "thin metal technique". To get that effect the weld is continuous but the pool is manipulated in a lower case e style.. think this... eeeeeeee .....but with no gaps, each loop overlaps the last one slightly.Looks like a stack of tacks. I'd be worried about penetration
The slag should be lighter than molten steel and should float.My only concern with welds like that, you can see very small deposits of yellow slag/residue between each little disc of weld, if that carried all the way through to the root of the weld as a form of lamination would that cause weakness?
According to my calculations, I will save approximately +300 euros per month. I definitely have a place to spend it wisely. The commute to work is 20 minutes instead of 45. And the seedlings of the future great nursery of medicinal herbs are waiting in peat pots for their time.Good luck!
It always looks like they are running the welder a lot colder than a straight stringer like weld in order to get the puddle to freeze fast enough to keep the stacked dimes effect
