How To Weld Metal Together At Home. Stick welding uses electricity to melt the filler metal rod or the electrode as it is properly referred to. The pieces should lie flat and fit neatly without a metal burr interfering.
OxygenAcetylene WeldingOne of the oldest methods of welding metal is performed by using the same oxygenacetylene tanks that many of us. The heat produced by the short circuit along with a non-reactive hence inert gas locally melts the metal and allows them to mix together. Make sure the two parts are blended entirely for the most effective use.
Position your welding guns wire to lightly touch the metal at a 20-degree angle.
Remember to wear your welding gloves. Mix the parts together thoroughly with a popsicle stick. Once completed with your project be sure to let it cool slowly and completely before using or it can crack easily. A thin metal panel is a lot harder to fit up.
