Getting the most from each pound of weld metal

摘要

What can you do with one pound of weld metal? As we consider some options, three principles of weld design will be illustrated and in the process, we'll learn how to get the most out of each pound of weld metal. One pound of steel weld metal occupies 3.53 in{sup}3. Weld metal can be deposited in a variety of configurations. If the weld metal is used to make a perfectly shaped cube, one pound would make a cube with edge dimensions of slightly more than 1.5 in. If formed into a sphere, it would have a diameter of slightly less than 1.9 in.
