Weld ****

I’ll be doing this soon as well. Gonna be running exhaust out THROUGH the lower quarter right in front of the rear wheels. Gonna be fun to try and figure out!
:lol:
Like the aar and ta cars I love it!!
 
This is an "Individual Quick Freeze" tunnel in Montezuma, GA at a food processing facility. At the time we done the work, the place processed vegetable greens, and this tunnel would flash freeze raw produce down to -47F at the rate of 17,000 lbs per hour. The frozen product was bagged when it came out of the tunnel.

I see now from Google Earth View that they process chickens.... It's located just on the south side of GA Hi-way 224(Spaulding Rd) where the road goes over the railroad tracks.....this would be in RRR's neck of the woods(or not too far from it..)

Google Maps



There was nothing but a bare slab of concrete when we started. The whole job took about 5 months from start to finish. All the welds were "code" welds for high pressure anhydrous ammonia. Welding in that aluminum floor was a real pain in the azzzzz….that was done with a spool gun MIG.... All piping was done using 5P+ for the root passes and hot passes, 7018 Lo-Hi was used for all the cap welds. Ahhhhhh…..good times!!!

Let's see your rolls of dimes and your gorgeous welding.

I must be sick in the head to go around looking at welds wherever I go. Whether it's an office chair, steel door, handrails, anything that was welded at one time, I'm always paying attention to the welds and thinking about how it was probably done.

I was welding a perch on a rear end and this is what I came up with.

Let's see yours, I'm sure you guys have some good looking welds out there.

Tease:lol:
 
I used to weld for the railroad and also inspect welds on the rail cars. If I notice a weld on anything anywhere, I have to inspect it. Even if it's something I see in Wal-Mart. Lol
My wife is the same with proofreading. She used to do a lot of that. Now she picks out misspelled words and poor punctuation instantly out of everything she sees. Especially on news broadcasts. And my writing of course. Lol

I'm guessing she didn't proofread this post?
 
Nothing too sexy. Just some industrial equipment repair. I don't have any pics of the pretty stuff or automotive stuff on my phone.

Nice! We used to stick weld everything using 7016 mostly for a strong weld. Sometimes we used 7018 which turned out a very smooth weld. We also used 1/4" 7024 for building up wear plates and such. That put out a lot of smoke, lol.
 
LOL! Oh hell ya. I'd be flamed beyond belief I haven't even hit me ugly welds on my subframe connectors with a grinder. And don't ask about my floor repair welds. Thank God for carpeting lol.
Definitely no pics, my welds look like hemorrhoids. Mostly I just tack-weld, then take the piece to someone who knows what they're doing! Not sure how I'm going to handle the homemade subframe connectors though ;)

LOL. I cut my teeth welding up my floors. The subframes went ok. Hardest part was keeping molding steel from dripping on me while welding upside down. LOL! Even managed to get some in my ear... don't ask.

Kinda sounds like bacon frying with your ear about 2" above the skillet :lol:
 
Seriously, someone needs to do a book on welding as art. Some of this stuff is too pretty to paint! I’m still working on how to get my hand out of the jar without letting go of the beans...

That hurts.
Back in the brazing days a weld popped and spattered, got a tiny piece on a tooth. Hot brass is no funn.
