How to weld 1/2"armour plate?
After info and advice on how to weld 1/2" mild steel plate into the existing front armour of the BGC (Australian).
Over the years I have heard of reverse polarity when using welding rods, also to pre-heat the armour with oxy and then to mig weld it or just weld away like normal.
What are peoples experiances when conducting welding repairs on this type of steel? In the next couple of weeks I want to get this repair work done to my hull.
Thanks
