From tacking we moved on to running beads and then joining gapped panels
Looks sort of ok for a rookie !!
Once again, penetration is the key and you can see here that it wasn't really good enough....no overlap in the centre....
After a while, we moved on to Fillet welding panel material. I learned how to setup and use both manual and hydraulic folders to create the sample to weld.
Here, a 90 degree fold is sitting on top of a flat section......and then Fillet welded together.
Starting to really get the feel for duration and setting with the MIG setup.....penetration is much more consistent !
