Then we should ask him to go clamp it in a vise, and wail on it with a cold chisel and hammer!
Yeah I know. We did that with all our rods in college regardless if they were low Hydrogen or not. But to me 70,000 strength is 70,000 regardless of composition. That's why I said a 7014 and 7018 besides being a bit different for all intents and purposes they are close enough. Also if one does use a low Hydrogen rod and not heat it constantly for storage, they should only buy the smallest amount they can and use it up, other wise in a way it does become like a 7014, at least that's what my instructor told me in college.
i would do it now but its time to go nighty night for me. will 6013 be ok for a go kart though? its not like a serious dune buggy more of a yard kart. hopefully i can get some more welds done tomorrow and ill put up some pics. what makes u guys think its just on the surface? just curious
just practice on some flat bar 1/8 inch thick
using 6013 rods, i dont think they make 7018 1/16 inch rods but i could be wrong, i know ive never seen them though..
I think he's learned enough here for tonight thank you.You just might be surprised at what you learn.
A grinder and paint make you the welder you ain't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAX_ZhjJnwgThe grinding statement reminded me of a funny story.
I used to hang out with a guy who had a general labor monkey job at a machine shop. We were working in his shop one day, and he laid down some nasty booger welds. Then he told me that one if the welders he worked with had told him "you can tell how good a welder is by how he uses his grinder" and then he picked up his grinder and had at said booger welds with it until they were cut well beyond where they should've been, even grinding the surrounding metal into a nice wave pattern.
I still laugh about that one. I didn't bother correcting him as he was the one who worked at the machine shop, and his ego was pretty phenomenal.

We should ask Spindles.
