To learn how to carefully lay a welding seam, you have to spend more than one pack of electrodes. When the arc flashes, it is almost impossible to see how the electrode goes and how correctly the seam is laid. You can learn basic welding skills in another way without a welding machine at all. He will call to train his hand, to gain the muscle memory that a welder has.
What you will need:
- Syringe 5-10 cc;
- any gel.
The process of learning welding using a syringe
For training, you need to fill the syringe with any gel-like substance, preferably non-greasy. Then, moving the tip of the syringe along the gap between the parts to be welded and squeezing out the gel, you can clearly see how it fits.
It behaves in the same way as a molten electrode.
The goal of the training is to ensure that the gel is squeezed out in a neat “sausage” and lies between the parts to be welded. This can be achieved by guiding the syringe at a slight angle so that the tip lags behind.
When you understand this principle, then move the ignited electrode at the same angle and at the same speed.If you do it this way, the welding seam will be almost perfect. After practicing with a syringe and gel, you can gain the necessary skills without spoiling a single workpiece or electrode.
