Grand Greetings Frank, So I made some changes to produce a second version with what I was thinking might fit what your talking about. I wasn't sure if you would be putting down a small TIG bead on both sides of the root area. http://cid-5085d10eb6afe47c.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/S201%20Type%20SS%20Plate%20Thru%20Hull/Assembly%20Model%20%7C32/Changed%20Weld%20Beads%20Iso.jpg Here is what I was thinking the weld bead progression might look like. #1 Red TIG bead #2 Blue TIG bead #3 Dark Gray Stick bead #4 Light Gray Stick bead #5 Black Final Interior Stick Bead #6 Green Final Exterior Stick Bead http://cid-5085d10eb6afe47c.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/S201%20Type%20SS%20Plate%20Thru%20Hull/Assembly%20Model%20%7C32/Weld%20Bead%20Order.jpg I made a screen capture with audio that better shows the above, and posted it on Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLuqZ9Q26vw " Every man is wise when attacked by a mad dog; fewer when pursued by a mad woman; only the wisest survive when attacked by a mad notion." ~ Robertson Davies Regards, Szybowski From: ShellyDalg@aol.com Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2009 18:16:58 -0500 Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] S201 Plate Type Thru Hull Assembly To: personal_submersibles@psubs.org Hi Brent. Nice work. The only suggestion I would make is changing the weld
profile. It's much easier to do full pen welds from one side, then back grind
the weld a little and put down a small cover pass. It's stronger and only
applies serious heat one time. Welding both sides more or less equally heats the
metal through twice, adding to distortion. Frank D. A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps! |
