SS is strong stuff but I would use the same thicknesses mention in the vid if I were to build one out of SS. You could also use aluminum, in which case I'd use 3/8" for the winch area but realistically regular mild steel like we used should hold up just fine with a proper powder coating and it's the cheaper option of the 3!

Only asking because I really don’t know anything about paint or powder coat. Did you have to grind the welds because you wanted to powder coat the bumper? If so then what does leaving the welds do to the powder coat process? Or was it just for personal preference and you didn’t want the welds to be seen?

It depends on the application. If it were thicker material and on something structural like a building or a base gusset on a metal billboard leg for example you'd just about always weld on both sides. In this case my internal gussets or ribs are only 1/8" and I felt it was completely adequate to weld only one side top and bottom.

I changed them numerous times depending on the type of weld. I welded the outside at 17.Something volts and don't recall the wire speed. In general Miller's auto set feature works really good on my 215, however I find the wire speed can always be turned down compared to the auto set and weld chart settings for how I like to weld.

@bleepinjeep6 жыл бұрын
Regular mild steel, but it is pickled and oiled. It's called HRPO. It's mild steel that goes through an acid bath (referred to as pickling) which removes the mill scale that forms on all hot rolled steel. It's then lightly oiled to prevent rust. It's ideal for machining or plasma cutting or any other cnc cutting process and it only costs a few bucks more than your normal hot rolled stuff. Much cleaner to work with!
