You mentioned getting practice metal from dumpsters. What if the metal is rusty? Can you weld through, over rust or do you need to grind the rust off first?
You can wire wheel it off if it’s just surface rust. It’s always a good idea to clean your material but theoretically if you used an electrode such as a 6010, it can eat through the rust pretty well.
nice job bud

@ is that what is done out in the field like on an oil pipeline or a ship? Just weld through it?
@@jordannewland5848 sometimes you don’t have a choice but most of the time we try to prep the metal as much as possible.
