Hey guys! I have been doing some welding with the aulakiria welder aka the “boss level” spot welder. It works great!
I am just wondering how other’s welds look. Here is how mine looks so far…
How many welds if recommended what does a good weld look like? Thank you!A good spot weld is when you can’t pull the strip off with pliers.
With these the nickel will tear if I try and pull it off.
that’s what you want
welds are good, but you might want to do multiple layers if it’s an eskate battery
Yup exactly what @Namasaki said.
Also do not use the nickel strip that is provided with the welder. It’s nickel plated steel and is not suitable for our use. I just used them to play around with the welder when I first got it.
Performance varies with source voltage too so keep an eye on it as you go for changes and adjust accordingly
Yeah I heard that. This is 0.2 pure nickel from batterysupport.
I also sanded a piece and threw it in some salt water. All good.
I also noticed that the temperature of the fets which is displayed makes a big difference too.
When it’s at like 25°C it’s heaps stronger than at 35-40°C
For 0.2 7ms is the usual flux time.
After messing around a bit, that seems about right.
Thanks and Merry Christmas!!!
