Hillbillysmith Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 When i did work on jet turbines, one of my tests was a 1/4" stainless tube .016" wall thickness. Needed 100% penetration, no more than one material thickness reenforcement on root of face side. All x-ray of course. :D The place i work now, all tig has push button control so you can control the amperage remotely which make thin stuff harder. If i used a foot pedal, it would have looked much better. -Hillbilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Yates Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I say if water would hold still long enough I could weld it . welding in the Civilian world and Military side I have welded a mass amount of things that should have never been welded together just because I could do it don't make it correct . However it was fun to see folks look at the project and say Wow how did you do that . ;) Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
