Yes, it is possible , however it depends on the type of joint you are trying to weld, and how structural you need it to be . Generally the low amperage of these machines lack the penetration needed for thicker metals. But with proper joint preparation IE. beveling the edges, and using flux core wire , along with multiple passes , you could achieve a good weld. Also it should be noted that these machines have a low duty cycle , meaning that, in order to weld thicker metals the machine must be used at it's highest settings , effectively shortening the amount of time you have to make a certain length of weld, which in this case is short. Usually a 20% duty cycle means at it's high settings , you can only weld 2 mins. out of every 10 mins, this is to avoid overheating the machine.

How thick of steel will a gaseless 110 welder weld?

In my experiences with 110 machines I've found that for strength 1/16" is a good thickness. Argon/co2 seems to work better than coated wire for metals thicker than that 1/8" - 5/32". 1/4" is usually too thick to weld as the heat is pulled away from the weld area producing poor or no weld. Remember, this is a "short arc" process. The arc is not on long enough to melt thick material.


How do you weld stainless steel to stainless steel?

You can weld stainless steel to stainless steel using various welding methods such as TIG welding and MIG welding. However, it is best to get a professional to do the job. And understand that stainless steel does not weld very successfully under any circumstances - it will almost always, inevitably, break right next to the weld.

What electromagnetic wave can be use to examin the inside of a weld in a steel oil pipe?

X-rays can be used to examine the inside of a weld in a steel oil pipe. X-rays can penetrate the steel and provide detailed images of the internal structure of the weld to detect defects or inconsistencies.


When preforming a fillet weld between two pieces of 5 mm thick mild steel what is the recommended size leg lenghth of the weld?

For a fillet weld between two pieces of 5 mm thick mild steel, the recommended leg length is typically equal to the thickness of the thicker piece being welded, which in this case is 5 mm. However, a common practice is to use a leg length of 6 mm for added strength and to ensure proper penetration. It's important to follow relevant welding standards and guidelines that may apply to your specific application.
