Hey everyone!!
So, this is one of my newest videos...
As y'all know, I've been exploring my interest in welding cast iron lately, and after running a few different stick welding methods, I turned my focus to Mig Welding...
I just wanted to try something a little bit different, so I got a spool of 308L Stainless-Steel wire, .030" diameter, and tried it out welding up a cracked cast iron exhaust manifold off a V6, and I was pleasantly surprised at how well it turned out...
What I did, was to "Veeee" out the "crack" in the manifold, and then I preheated it with a rosebud until it was just starting to glow... It didnt take long, a thinner casting with a lot of exposed surface area like this will heat up, and cool down, more rapidly than other things, so I gave it a few seconds of "cooling time" while I shut down the torch and grabbed the mig gun...
That wire ran REALLY well... It sounded great, had a very controllable puddle, and even looked pretty nice when it was done.... I'm very happy with how it came out...
Anyway, just thought I'd share the video, and I hope y'all are doing well, I'm just getting over being sick, lol... Anyway, have a nice (early) weekend, everyone!! :)
