Hi all,
New to this but catching on quick! When welding say 3mm steel bar to other similar bar/rounds or even any weld for that matter, should they be left to cool naturally or does quenching in bucket of cold water have any adverse effects on owt
Also how do you or should you weld say 3mm steel to 1mm or 1.2mm steel body work. I am installing a false bulkhead in my van to compartment it off by the side loading door, a tank of water will be up against this false bulkhead. Ive bolted the 3mm angle accross the floor but the pillar uprights are a box shape sort of and no access to the inside for nuts. I was going to use 8mm rivinuts but thought hey I got a mig welder and need the practice. I'm up for it I think I can do it. How would I set it up, set up for 3mm or 4mm angle concetrate on that and just quickly flick onto the body steel or set up for body steel and just treat the angle as another bit of body steel. Or is this all going to go pear shaped!
