cable tray weld procedure

[miles1128]

Does anyone have a weld procedure for welding of galvanised carbon steel electrical cable tray?

You don’t. You bolt it?

Unless you are talking about manufacturing it prior to being galvanised?

^^^^ what he said.

Why would you weld a cable tray?

If it's for a project at home, just wire brush the galv off and hold your breath when welding

If it's for an instalation, bolts are the way it's done

No to wire brushing, grinder needed. If it's new stuff don't bother, it will be too thin. I once made a trailer for my racing mini with 1960s scrap cable tray as the runners, lasted forever, thick enough to weld comfortably.
