Hello,
I have been working a company for about 4 months and overheard a discussion regarding two different objects that need to be welded together, both were mild steel. But what caught my attention was the fact one part was a 1.5mm pipe section and the other piece was 5mm plate.
This got me thinking, if the edge of the plate needed to be joined to the length of the pipe then how would I setup my machine to ensure I didn't blow through the 1.5mm but managed to sufficiently bond to the 5mm material. The two parts need a good solid bond, the 5mm plate is a disc of approx 50mm diameter, with a cutout in it for the pipe to sit in. The pipe is 28mm diameter.
How could this be accomplished with out putting a good angle on the plate? (I'm not even sure the size of the plate allows for a suitable angle)
This had me curious and I'd like to understand the possibilities.
