Mar 19, 2019· After all, unfinished welds are inherently stronger than finished welds due to the material removal involved in grinding them down. With carbon steel, finishing a weld is a fairly simple process. In the majority of cases, the steel needs preparing only to the extent where paint can be applied.

Grinding a weld sucks, I prefer to polish over them with a balloon wheel to smooth them out rather than grind them smooth, gives me a little more control. But this is all for SS not carbon. I'm an elitest mofo and generally don't have to give two craps about the mild/carbon steel coming through my area.

Apr 28, 2009· You can buy grinding discs made from the same stuff that are about 6mm thick. They are the most economical way to grind a weld. If you are looking for a great finish then take the weld down most of the way with a grinding disc then finish with a flap disc. Flap discs last longer if you try to use the flat rather than the edge.
Mar 16, 2012· And I don't mean grinding a stop on a cap. We did this all the time while welding 40" pipe for the Oil Sands Refinery. If we didn't it would cast a "shadow" on the RT film and we would end up grinding it out anyway. What I mean is the welder welding too much reinforcement, grinding below 1/8" and leaving the weld.
Jan 27, 2013· They cut fast and last forever. Usually just carefully grind sideways to the weld till I knock it down to almost flush, then hand file flat, and finish with a DA. Using the little 3M wheel, I find its a lot easier to grind the weld a bit more precise, without touching the surrounding metal.
“This allows the operator to grind down a weld, then smooth out the corners, get into tight areas, and even get inside the pipe if he needs to,” Wainwright said. The flexible shaft also can work with an ordinary bench grinder, as long as it has a standard 5⁄8-11 arbor. Wainwright added that the flexible shaft, combined with the company
The welding is usually continuous fillet welds ranging from .19 to .5 nominal size. Occasionally a customer wants the welds "ground smooth". This creates troublesome expectations because I've not seen a technical definition of "ground smooth". Expectations such as: must the toe of the weld be blended into the base metal

Weld grinding. It is common that the weld joint must be ground and finished after the welding process. Depending on the application, there are many different requirements for surface quality after treatment. In the automotive industry, for example, the weld joint must be seamless after the grinding process in order to proceed to the next steps
Using a T29 (conical) disc at a 15-degree angle provides high stock removal rates and maximum surface contact, which are key when speed and aggressive grinding are needed. For applications that require a smooth finish or for surface cleaning, use a T27 (flat) disc at a flat work angle.
Hey there. I have made some welds on 3/16" aluminum. the welds need to be ground down. whats the best wheel to take off the initial weld, then whats best to blend? i need them in the a.m. so i can only go to home depot or harbour freight. can you tell me what store carrys what i need? thanks.
WOW!! I just took a look! Thanks for all the replies!! All very helpfull! I should have been more specific. When I repair older alluminum castings, some times I have to grind out the weld and do it again, do to all the old oil and crap in the original casting, for me the grinding out never goes well, the stones load or just don't cut well, then I have to clean it all up again and weld again.
Sep 17, 2012· How would one define excessive weld on parent materials? Because you don't get a completely level surface between the weld and the parent metal, there will always be a little bit face of the weld above the surface. In my opinion, flushing is grinding the finished weld smooth in order to remove any kinks or stress raisers. Just my 2 cents.
Mar 21, 2007· It's definitely better to mill aluminum to size if you can do it, but we are having problems with parts that are large and thin enough to be next to impossible to mill flat. The customer is asking for flat and parallel .0005 so I have been float grinding them 3 times (twice on one side and once on the other) and then screwing them down to steel
Blast clean or grind contact surfaces prior to welding: Remove loose mill scale, paint, galvanizing, grease, oil, rust, moisture, or other materials. Grind joints to remove pitting and irregularities. Bring parts into close contact: Separation greater than 1/16 inches requires an increase in the fillet weld leg equal to the separation distance.
Mar 26, 2008· Repair welds shall be made using a welding procedure qualified in accordance with para. 328.2.1, recognizing that the cavity to be repaired may differ in contour and dimensions from the original joint. Repair welds shall be made by welders or welding operators qualified in
Apr 01, 2008· drewp29, AWS D1.1 5.26 Repairs The removal of weld metal or portions of the base metal may be done by machining, grinding, chipping, or gouging. It shall be done in such a manner that the adjacent weld metal or base metal is not nicked or gouged. Oxygen gouging shall not be used in quenched and tempered steel.
• Welds Ground Smooth In standard structural steel, welds are left in as is welded condition with slag and weld spat-ter removed. This is the same for AESS, however, if it is specified, welds must be ground smooth • Welds Contoured and Blended If transitions of smoothly grounded welds are required to be contoured and blended,

Bevelers remove burrs and surface irregularities to leave smooth edges on metal and plastic parts and materials. Also called beveling grinders, they're sometimes used to prepare metal for welding by cutting an angled edge for forming a clean weld seam. Welding shavers remove weld beads and machine butt welds so they set flush with surfaces.
The last steps for welding and grinding this project is adding the supports that will hold the top. After milling the mill scale off of the mitered flat-bar, square fit it to the top of your project. Set, tack, and run weld beads along the cut edge of your flat bar, securing it to the tube stock of the top.

Grinding and Polishing GRINDING removes saw marks and levels and cleans the specimen surface. Polishing removes the artifacts of grinding but very little stock. Grinding uses fixed abrasives—the abrasive particles are bonded to the paper or platen—for
Apr 16, 2013· I mill a small shallow slot in the mating part. may be able to watch sparks to see wider than just weld (starting to grind on base metal) 04-15-2013, 10:29 AM #4. and use a 6" long 3/4" end mill and mill the seam off 3 or 4 minutes to set up then 30 seconds of milling nice and smooth head doesn't have to square to travel. oldbikerdude37
