To perform a successful weld, you must follow these steps:
Prepare the metal pieces before welding. Clean them thoroughly to remove any impurities or rust.
Apply flux to the surface of the metal pieces. It helps the molten metal adhere to the metal while preventing oxidation.
Position the metal pieces properly. Make sure that the edges touch each other.
Heat the metal pieces. Use a torch to heat the metal pieces until they reach a red-hot state.
When the metal pieces are heated up, apply pressure to the joint area. This action ensures that the melted metal adheres to the metals.
Cool down the metal pieces - Let the metal cool down completely before moving on to the next step.
Remove excess flux from the welded parts. It protects the welded part from corrosion.
Inspect the weld. If the weld looks good, move on to the next step; otherwise, start again from the first step.
Repeat the process until you finish your project.
