malcolm, did I hear you say you were sending a CD to the first person to guess correctly what this is?What are you making?
The change in section between the weld and the surrounding metal is what generally where cracks occur. The crater you find at the end of the weld shouldn't cause any problems.With those craters is there any risk of cracking?

I tend to use the same method for welding very thin metal and haven't had any problems. Anything 1mm or above I'd go for a continuous weld, though that ends up smooth looking rather than with the nice TIG effect.
You got some strong replies over at the welding web, what more are you looking for?Send me the CD I know exactly what the problem is.. I didnt make the welds someone else did I am trying to get info from others than me, its not the correct procedure or process for welding steel... I dont want to say more until I get input from others...
Not my welds - they are art by Hitachimad (above). Curiously he's also been known to make gates. Was your uncle ever photographed wearing a French maid's outfit by any chance? We might be in for a family reunion here.FYI Looking at the pics your welds look nice

Is it titanium type mig welding? That looks scalyish.
You can't enter the competition if it's about your own post!!!! I can't see what else anyone can add about this bit of welding.Send me the CD I know exactly what the problem is..

A starter question for 2 points - where does anyone think it will break?
