Re: Boiler welding advice.
I understand MIG is not an option. The problem is not in the process. A skilled weldor can produce sound welds on pressure vessels using almost any process. Properly-made welds using the GMAW (MIG) process are as strong as welds produced by other processes. Note that most ASME-rated air compresso...

I am opposed to using Github for this sort of thing. Github is a confusing mess and I can never find anything on it.

The “atomic” clock in our family area says it’s -11° F right now, and it’s 11:07 PM as I write this. Supposedly, temps will go down at least another five degrees before the night is over. Cold weather didn’t used to bother me...until I got old.

Re: Propane firing
I have a Railroad Supply 4-4-0 that’s set up for propane. I have a stock car to hold the propane tanks but it’s not tall enough to hold a 20 lb tank.

Re: Dealing with Rusty steel
(you can't weld through mill scale...) Says who? Mill scale vaporizes in the intense heat of the arc and if using the SMAW (stick) process, fluxing action by the electrode coating with entrain scale and with certain electrode types, rust. I weld steel with mill scale all the time, usually with th...

Is there supposed to be an image there? All I see is a dark, grey screen and a bunch of extraneous websites being accessed, probably to generate advertising nonsense.
