Weld check test

Today we checked the heat penetration of a weld by welding two tubes together and cutting them down the middle. The welding was done by our primary welder, and this weld sample is going to be taken with us to competition as per the rules.

Weld break test

Today we tested the abilities of our new primary welder with a weld test. Two tubes were welded together and then broken. The results of the test showed that the tube failed before the weld, indicating that the weld is stronger than the tube itself. This meets the rule requirements and we are going to bring this weld sample with us to competition.
