Welding fittings
Fittings are not always easy to weld on – their often small base offers little contact surface to the workpiece, which makes a stable connection difficult. This tutorial shows a tried-and-tested trick: a targeted application of material first creates sufficient welding surface before the veneer is securely and permanently welded to the PUK.
1. Challenge
Furnitures often only have a small base, which does not provide much material for welding, so it is best to use a trick.
2. material application
One or two drops of a welding wire of the same type are first applied to reinforce the weld (see also WS 2).
Here we use a welding wire of 0.4 mm thickness, for which approx. 50 % power is used.
3. milling
A small groove milled between the drops facilitates positioning and welding.
4. welding
Welding is now very easy. The settings are adjusted depending on the thickness of the materials.
The angle/joint mode makes joining parts even more reliable.
5. secure hold
A few spot welds on two sides are completely sufficient for a permanent connection
.
6. weld the rotary axis
The rotary axes, including those of moving parts, can be welded well if you are careful.
7. serging
Various rubber polishers are suitable for serging, for example.
