working with copper is a challenge. As a plumber, I would have oxy/acetylene bronze welded it, under the butt welds I would have pop riveted a tab under the joint, using stainless steel rivets to hold the corner down, then drilled out the rivets and then spot welded over the holes. Interesting to see silicone bronze welding though, nice work.

Personally i would have given 2 of the sides ears to overlap to the mating sides. Avoiding but joints. A pair of duck bill pliers could take care of the ear bends. Then i would have soldered the whole thing together. But then i'm coming from a metal and tile roofing background. So we worked on copper pans and flashing quite often and had the soldering equipment for it.

Place a large aluminum chill block under the corner seams, tack every 5mm while using a cold chisel to manually press the seam flat against the aluminum while tacking. Rinse and repeat until you have a continuous bead. Use wood or whatever under the chill block to increase its height as you move to the upper seams.

I never tried to mig weld copper with my 220 MTS. But after watching this I’m going to try it for myself. I’m and old school HVAC tech. I just guessing here, but possibly just using silver solder w/flux and a old school OXY/ACC touch with good regulators may have better butt weld results on this stuff. The right small flame 🔥 just might work out. Heating both copper sheets at the same time slowly with a small touch flame dabbing with silver solder should flow smoother compared to heat generated by the mig. Just food for thought.

Curious as to why you didn't just tig braze this? Or even oxy braze it. If you oxy braze it with a 000 torch tip, the braze will just flow into the joints and be silky smooth. You may still have to deal with warpage due to how thin the material is.

mate if you ever get more copper work what i do is cut small strips of the same material you are using and use that as a filler rod, that way when you blend it you get a nice even finish, also tack your flats very 10 or so mm so it wont pull apart from you, and tig is the way to go. all in all great job

I have rigged copper with good results accept I had to use argon and they recommend helium but there was a shortage of it when I did it last year not sure about now the helium makes the amperage way hotter because the copper soaks up the heat very fast, and all that’s required for filler wire is stripping copper wire from household Romex wiring or for your case something thinner

Just because you can weld copper with MIG.. does not mean its a good idea to do so. If the apperance is important maybe TIG would do a better job and its problably alot easier too because you get more control and leaves more room to deal with mistakes. You do know why you use MIG/MAG right? Its for increased production, nothing else; it gets the job done faster thats the only benefit. And I think youre actually welding that, not brazing.

@@janeblogs324 Alright, just looked as if he got complete fusion on some parts maybe he didnt. It got so hot he even burned holes in it, are you really sure? Definition welding: "join together (metal parts) by heating the surfaces to the point of melting" Definition brazing: "melts the filler material but does melt the base material, does not create a complete fusion" (means you just barely melt the surface). If the base material is so hot, there are holes in it that means you passed its melting point and there should be complete fusion.. can you really call it brazing then? I know you can call a dog a horse but it still does not make it a horse.

It's a braze. Nothing about brazing prevents a base metal from getting hot enough to melt away when errors are made, and I made some for sure

@@42Fab Great so with other words youre improperly using a method called brazing to weld with? I have to assume that your filler material copletely melt together with the base metal if you blow a hole in it. Because, that happens before you blow a hole in it right? Ok I want proof can you cut that piece of thing up so we can have a closer look at the welds. (its a joke dont do it).
