Stick Welding Super Thin Sheet Metal Welding Thin Metal. In this episode my grandson broke the handle off a piece of garden furniture so I decided to see if I could repair it using stick welding. This is the thinnest metal that I have ever tried welding using a stick welder. The material we are welding is 22 gauge (.64 mm) and we weld it to thicker piece of metal using 1/6" (1.58 mm) 6013 welding electrodes.
We all know that MIG or TIG welding is a great process on thin metal, but for you folks that have a stick welder, this repair can be done, and this is how I did it.
I hope you enjoy this video.

@devoncarter9062 3 года назад

AS a DIYer, I had a big problem with thin tubing myself and searched the net and finally in a 7 year old post on reddit I found a clue to the solution. using a fat 3/32 7018 filler rod with the flux hammered off. The poster didn't say what rod to use for the arc. If I used 3/32 7018 I got globs of metal so I switched to a skinny 1.6 mm 6013 for the arc and cranked the amps up to 250 because I don't like it sticking. Low and behold - the best weld any DIYer could ever hope for in a single pass!

Thank you and I'm glad I could help! Is your stick welder an inverter welder? This winter I will be working on some custom exhaust which will have some pointers too. Dont get discouraged by burning through. Welding exhaust is extremely difficult to do with stick. Your not alone. You might want to check out my beginner welding series playlist. There is one video in particular ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jj7uCglBFAc.html where I test polarity on 4 different pieces of metal. This should help too.

@WeldingForJesus 4 года назад

You are definitely spot on! MIG is great, but the price gap between the crappy ones and the good ones is absolutely insane, add the price of gas to that and I personally feel like I would need to weld MUCH more than I do today to defend buying one. SMAW on the other hand is dirt cheap and even non-brand ones have alot of bells and whistles these days. Not to mention you do not have to store pressurized gas in your home.

@BrandonLund 4 года назад

Phenomenal welding skills. Great tips for gluing thick to thin. I will try using DCEN more for thin metal (for me, that's 1/8" with 1/8" 6011). My current project: a roof rack for my car. Stick welding, sadly, is going to be self taught because of the pandemic. Thankfully, excellent video instruction like this can only help. (and lots of practice!)

@BrandonLund 4 года назад

Thanks Jeffrey. 6011 was one of the first rods I learned to weld with. It is very hard to get a nice looking bead as compared to a 7018 rod. Once your able, grab some 6013 for thin metal. You will love it compared to 6011. It flows much nicer and doesn't blow through as easy. Enjoy your project and stay safe. 😁

@ScarryMarian2012 3 года назад

The key element is your vision,you must distinguish (in the puddle) the molten metal from the foamy cellulose molten slag that has a bad habit to cover the metal puddle,and you barely realize when the slag rushes the metal,need more amps so the arc blow away the slag,but must find the thin balance there....good luck :-D

@mtrltoolman 5 лет назад

Good job man as always. I never found a welding channel trying to weld something thinner than 1/16" 1.6mm, i think they never heard about stick welding 1mm, 0.8mm and 0.5mm. Thanks for sharing your experience, have a nice day.

@johnswimcat 3 года назад

Good work Brandon. I've managed to attach very thin steel a few times by starting the weld on the thicker steel and gently "teasing" the edge of the weld onto the thin steel. Thin to thin I think would be difficult but one might find a way of doing it

@garymucher9590 5 лет назад

Two things I try to do when welding thin metals is, I usually place the welding metals on some type thicker aluminum backer plate to help control blow through and heat, and I also work from the thickest material unto the thinnest for the weld puddle to make blow through a lot less. But as with most everything, practice makes perfect...well maybe...

@BrandonLund 5 лет назад

Excellent tip Gary!

@_TheDudeAbides_ 3 года назад

Do you mean you kind of use the the aluminum backer plate like a heatsink to spread the heat from the welding spot?

@garymucher9590 3 года назад

@@_TheDudeAbides_ Odd I just happen to see your question while watching other videos. When you weld steel materials you use MIG wire feed welding or TIG with filler rods or even Stick welding with welding rods to fill in the joints. But neither of those will weld Aluminum, brass or copper. So using an aluminum backer plate seems to stop blow throw and allows the filler material to fill the holes or seams. Aluminum also conducts heat extremely well and therefore also assist filling the holes and seams. It work amazingly well. And if you are welding aluminum, you can equally use a steel backer plate to help fill the aluminum holes and seams because aluminum filler material will not weld onto steel. Try it, it works both ways.

@BrandonLund 3 года назад

Exactly!

@paddlepower888 4 года назад

I finished my roof rack. It was easy compared to the next job: repairing a long-handled dustpan where the handle got crimped. I cut the crimp out of the 20 gauge tubing and taped the tubing, used a 6013 1/16" stick and almost immediately blew through at 30 amps. I dropped the current to the lowest (20) my box could offer and it was almost as hot, but by severely limiting the time I had the arc on the tubing, I got the weld done after a few tacks. I even filled out the blown out area. Definitely the time of my life behind a welding helmet!

Nice job using a stick welder. I have done a many jobs using a SMAW. I have a welder that should be in a museum as the welder is a toroidal transformer type. Duty cycle says continuous 1 1/2 hours 50 percent after.They would never offer that type of duty cycle today for sure. 120 240 volts, with amps settings from 10 amps by 5 amps increasing on low side, total top end 290 amps. On 120 you can go up to 180 amps increments of five and 240 increments of 10 amps. I have welded just about any metal you can think of with all being a success. This old workhorse was made in the 1948. forget the name. Compact size with a weight of 140 pounds. You have to really eat your wheaties for breakfast to carry this bear.

Great vid, would love to see someone weld exhaust pipe with arc though

@BrandonLund 5 лет назад

Thank you! It's been a while since I've welded up exhaust with stick, it's hard, but it can be done. I might have to give it a try for old time sake.

@snowflakemelter1172 4 года назад

Easy, 2 mm 6013 electrode, put a line if full penetration tacks along the joint, then deslag, repeat the tacks overlapping the previous ones until the joint is filled, grind off the ripples to tidy it up. I've done this on 1 mm tube.

NICE JOB, , when I was a bodyman. in the 60s. Rather than oxy/acetylene, I used a DYNAMIC 20-40-60-80 amp. 110v arc welder with 1/16" 6013 to weld sheet metal without warping the metal, before mig. came to the mainstream. 😃😃😃 Keeping the metal cool is the thing !!!

@BrandonLund 3 года назад

Right on! Its not as easy as it looks but with practice works well :)

@HappyHands. 2 года назад

Great video very helpful.. i think i would also take the opportunity to put a hinge and a axle pivot on it .

@BrandonLund 2 года назад

Good call!

@AXNJXN1 2 года назад

Brandon, you do excellent work, let me start off with that. However, I ponder if actually DCEP would have been a better choice to this? Logistically, I probably would have tried that first over DCEN. Thoughts?

@BrandonLund 2 года назад

Thanks man. DCEN has way less penetration than DCEP which is why I chose that polarity for this application. DCEP is really good at making root passes but it's not great when you get into really thin stuff.

Making it work using what you have. Pointing the heat to the thicker metal; clean and shiny is a good beginning. Bonus: your grandson will be welding soon...😎

@BrandonLund 3 года назад

Thanks Deborah! It won't be long :)

@stephboeker7835 3 года назад

Great video, Brandon. Learned a lot !! But you mentioned an AC (only) Buzz Box , which I'm looking at acquiring. I wonder if you might run through the different settings and issues that might occur using AC instead of DC ? Thank you for your generous consideration & inspiration, Sincerely ........................... Steph

@BrandonLund 3 года назад

DC polarity is used in most welding applications. It produces a smoother welding output compared to AC. It creates a more stable arc, easier welding and less spatter. You can also either use DC negative for faster deposition rates when welding thin sheet metal or use DC positive for more penetration into the steel.

@hotspur4237 4 года назад

Would it have easier to stitch weld instead of dragging a bead? What I mean is do a spot weld and then put another spot weld a short distance away. Then fill in the gaps with more spot welds. Wouldn't it be less likely to blow through that way? I ask because I've seen other welding videos suggest a stitch for thin metal. I'm curious about why you chose to do it the way you did. Thanks.

@BrandonLund 4 года назад

I like experimenting...you are correct that stitch welding is a great way to weld thin metal but that can also introduce a lot of porosity. Continuous beads are much more difficult because rod angle, distance from your work piece and amperage all play a big role in keeping it from blowing through. Little experiments like this really show how these small things can influence the weld puddle.

@justinbunn6714 3 года назад

I'm on a budget. Would you go for a 20A to 120A stick welder with 1.6mm 6013 rods. Or a gasless "MIG" welder at 50A and 0.8mm wire?

@BrandonLund 3 года назад

It really depends what your working on most of the time. Stick welding is better suited for 1/8" and up and you can weld really thick with multiple passes. Self shielded in this amperage is better suited for 3/16" down to sheet metal.

@diegoribeiro7513 3 года назад

Other way to weld super thin metal is the "texas tig" method. You use other stick rod as a filler and melt both together. And use higher amps. There are a lot of videos on the RU-vid. Keep up the good work my friend.

@BrandonLund 3 года назад

Thsnks man I appreciate the tip!

@mikeyharps1551 2 года назад

mate, i've only got a shitty little stick set and i knock stukk up all the time ... i blow the shit out of the thin stuff and spend most of my time filling in holes!! next time i have a project i'll video it and post it somewhere! you inspired me !! lol thanx mate! keep it up!

I totally trust you,,,,,,Yup, it's not pretty! Another great video guy. I'm sold on small 6013 as with your other videos as well. I'm hittin' the Harbor for some soon.

@BrandonLund 3 года назад

@Matt Cero thanks again buddy! It's good stuff! I don't use it often but when I need it it's priceless. Thanks brother!

@Jdww89 4 года назад

Wldve took one of those 1/16 rods, broke all the flux off and used it as a filler metal.

@ScarryMarian2012 3 года назад

That method is very good on thin to thin metals,he got the advantage of having a thicker metal in this job,but must practice more and try different approach to that type of job.

@alphasigmasezon8597 5 лет назад

muito obrigado. = thank you very much.

@alphasigmasezon8597 5 лет назад

I'm from Brazil, here we don't have 1,5875 mm Rods (1/16") for Mild Iron just for Inox. So we have to use 2,0 mm, 2,5 mm, 3,25 mm, 4 mm, etc.

@alphasigmasezon8597 5 лет назад

I completely agree with you. I prefer never to use a MIG / MAG welding machine or a TIG. A MIG / MAG or TIG machine would solve the problem with very thin metal sheets.

@alphasigmasezon8597 5 лет назад

However MIG / MAG / TIG is a clumsy, heavy thing with its fittings (accessories): Mix Gas Cylinder and Argon Gas Cylinder, Electrode Wire Rolls, Pressure Gauges, Hoses, etc.

@alphasigmasezon8597 5 лет назад

MIG / MAG / TIG are much less safe than a Coated Electrode Inverter Machine, Mix Gas Cylinder and Argon Gas Cylinder, Pressure Gauges and Hoses, are a huge risk within a residence, sometimes we have to make welds inside our home.

@dangerdavefreestyle Год назад

I adore that little 160sti you have. Hopefully I dont have to covet and be content with my own recent score. A vintage sears craftsman ac dual range 240v arc welder. and cart, a bunch of rods and tools and an extension cord all for 125 bucks.

@BrandonLund Год назад

It's a nice unit but you got yourself a great deal too!

@kingsqueak2221 4 года назад

Brazing might have worked nicely for that too I think. Lower temp and filling the uneven gaps.

@BrandonLund 4 года назад

Brazing is awesome! That's the first process I learned on. Welding in floor pans and I even chopped a 70 chevy and brazed the top back on. I got pretty good but it's been a while a long time but I love brazing

@carlpenney901 5 лет назад

I once welded 2 1/4 exhaust pipe with 1/8 6011 with a ac buss box set at 50 amps I mitered all the joints and downed handed the welds.

@BrandonLund 5 лет назад

Nice job buddy! Exhaust is difficult with stick...especially with 6011. I've done it a few times and its always difficult. As you pointed out, downhand is key.
