Hi steemians. Meet me again. Today I will give you tips on how to weld a thin plate with electric weld.
In the world of welding you are required to be more thorough and careful. When doing welding work, you need to use your own self-help tool. Why? Because you are made with dangerous electrical current.
Are you a welder? Of course understand at least how hard it is to weld a thin plate let alone the plate has a standard thickness below 1 mm. It takes a special skill how to do it In order to get a satisfactory result.
- Travo 900watt
- welding wire size 2mm
- protective eye / protector (it is important that our eyes are not troubled by the very sharp welding light)
- other equipment that may be in need.

How to do it to get good quality?
First you have to do is clean the plate you want to wipe clean to avoid dust. If the iron plate you weld dirty then you probably will not get maximum results because dirt can cause electodes do not stick strongly on the plate that you will weld.
Next you need to do is use a good welding inventer. Because if the weld inventer is not good, the current is not stable it will make your welding results are not maximal. Do not use a 3.0 mm electoda if you want to weld a 2 mm thin plate. Because it will make the iron package leak.
If welding thin iron plate you are expected to use a wire electrode measuring a maximum of 2.0 mm. The default uses 70 volts or 85 currents. Because if you use a current that is too large then the plate you are welding will leak due to excessive electode pressure.
It would be nice if you want to weld the plate size of 1 mm you should use a 1.2-sided electoda wire with 40 volt current power. If the current pressure is excessive then the result is not good. You will also have trouble and the welding that you do not stick strongly.
Do the welding very carefully. Make the point of welding fluid slowly not too fast. Wait for the iron you welded a little hard. Tilikla slowly with a distance of about 2 mm to 3 mm from the first you start welding onwards.
You do not need to be too skewed using an electrod welding wire. Sit up and take a deep breath. Do not be too skewed. Because usually the slope will make a hole.
Conclusion
Doing welding with electric welding is not easy. For a workshop you will probably understand how to do it. Typically, a 1-2 mm plate is welded using a carbide weld. But by using electric welding you can also do it. Provided that caution and accuracy and precision in welding techniques are required.
For today that is what I can give you tips related to thin plate welding technique using electric welding machine.
