Goodmorning, everyone!!
This is one of my newest videos, and it's a little crash-course in hardfacing with a stick welder...
To be honest, its a little outside my area of experience, but I'd had a LOT of requests for a hardsurfacing video, so I researched it for hours, practiced a little, and put this together... Hopefully, if you're interested in hardfacing, this will be enough to get you started
Anyway, this is one of those cases where a picture is worth a thousand words, but I'll do my best to describe it for anyone who cant/doesn't want to watch the video itself... I talk a little about what hardsurfacing is, and about preparation for the process... It goes over putting down a "buttering layer" of softer metal to act as a go-between for the softer base metal, and harder "cover layer", and also to repair the base metal... I even wear an apron in this video...
Just thought I'd share...
I'll do my best to keep the videos coming, even tho I'm kind of on vacation right now... I managed to damage my camera lens during a welding shot, but the Best Buy protection plan I bought with the camera took care of that... Bad news is, it'll probably be a week or so until they send my camera back... Best news tho, is that yesterday was my first ever day of pipe welding at school, we're doing 2G on 6" schedule 80 pipe, 6010 root and then 7018 all the way out. Class flew by yesterday, welding in a circle is surprisingly a lot more interesting than one would think...
Anyway, just thought I'd share, hope this video helps someone out... Have an awesome Tuesday, everyone
