>>722944664
don't melt the bevel edges when you are filling , leave something like 1-0.5mm , get 2 rods and lay them down when you do the cap , let it cool before , 130-170 amp's should melt it nicely depending on your hand speed, also stop it with the wire brush , it does not make a major diff when welding with higher amps and it's a time killer.Nice weld keep it up , use the lay wire tech. next time see how that goes.

1.5 mm throughout. Made the entire exhaust in the same piping and thickness. 2.5" straight through until it hits the muffler. Not much in there either.
Load as fuck with some strange echo in it but hey customers make the rules..
>>
>>722947829
you have a point buut , the robot get's 100% welds when the fitting is 100% correct , you can't hook up the robot on the field or in the rafinery like in the shop , it's a lot to discuss here . The robot can't improvise and does not run by itself. Just think about it.

>>722949101
if you are not familiarised with field welding you don't even know half of it. you probably saw a tig mig smaw robot weld on yt ok .. it could take over .. but not in the next 20-30 years.A robot will weld as long as the fitting is 100% alighned and after some tests wich include travel/speed/amps/wire speed and they will have to change as the weld goes , at least on pipe , you don't have the same weld parameters like amps and wire speed if the pipe's in position, it takes a long ass time , and if you are 0.5 mm offset you can ruin the weld thus cutting it .. thus time loss...thus less money.Your question was my question after reading your post.

>>
>>722949808
The Swedish welder guy here, When steel heats up, its structure changes. As the surface of the heated steel meets the atmosphere, it reacts with the elements in the air and oxidizes. The colors that result depend on the makeup of the metal, the composition of the atmosphere, the temperature at which they meet, and the duration of time the metal is exposed at the elevated temperature. What’s happening is the metal is oxidizing extremely fast.

hehe I'm a perfectionist, I like getting a difficult job.
Last year I did a exhaust for a Opel Manta.
Experimented with different materials (stainless, Titanium etc) and thickness of materials. Even did different bends and chokepoints. Eventually me and the owner found a set-up that sounded real nice. Gave a nice, healthy rally like sound but still legally silent. Gave him a few extra hp as well compared to the broken original. Took 3 weeks.

Also a lot of these kids who wants a loud car fail to understand they won't pass the annual car inspection. They will get a fail and the car will be flagged until it's fixed.
Guess who they come to when they need it fixed? Me lol.. So while it hurts making those 2.2" even some 3" systems I kinda laugh inside because I know they will be back soon and need more work done. More money for me.

i worked as a mechanic's helper for about 4 years... i helped the mechanic arround with some rally cars mounting/welding rollbars and tuneing the car.i had my fair share of "ricers" with 1.4 petrol engine who wanted more power out of it. we insisted that it is a bad investment and it's a bad ideea to jump from 8l/100km to 18 .. but hey ..again with the customers rules.First word of advice from the mechanic : if the customer want's you to drill his head lights , tell him it's a bad ideea.. drill them with a desighn and take the money for desighn the not the drilling.

Not anything above 1.8" in diameter (not sure about Dacia's original size, might be smaller)
And two mufflers. One "half way" muffler in the middle of the system, they are usually called intermediate mufflers and one bigger one in the end of the system. Thicker material 2+mm in material for less "echo" is recommended but it's harder to weld.
As many bends in the system as possible without affecting the performance is also a good way of reducing sound.
>>
>>722951721
Exactly. I once had a kid come in with his Volkswagen Polo fron '98. Original 75 hp. He wanted a turbo and everything. Said he needed 200 hp. In a shitty 1.4 liter or something..
That time we had to refuse him. Told him it was cheaper to buy a new car with more power.
He did. Bought an BMW M3. Came in 6 weeks later and wanted a 3" system straight through...
Completely ruined the beautiful sound of the original but hey his choice.

i think it's a 1.5"
should i go with the fexible joint ( idk the exact english term for it )
the original exhaust does not have it , i'm thinking than a 2+mm pipe is less flexible than the 0.5 mm that is mounted and i don't want it to stree the rubber dampers
>>
>>722950458
Maybe you should try confirming it then.
Was pic related really so difficult?
>>
>>722952522
Yes go with the flexible. Always have flexible joints when you work with 2+ mm.
If it is 0.5 mm now just the thickness with make it a lot more quiet.
And make sure you look over the mounts, the new system will be heavier, a lot heavier. You don't want the thing falling off going down the road ;)

>>722952522
Also will you change the manifold ?
I know a lot of factory cars have crappy made manifolds that "leak" sound a lot. It's not a easy weld to make a new one but worth it.
Also the pipe in the manifolds will be a thicker diameter across than the exhaust. Can create a horrible humming sound if the size differ too much. But it's just my perfectionist brain talking now lol.

>which oxides of those elements r gold or blue?

all the same oxide - iron oxide, as its ferrous metal piping.

the different colour is from different thicknesses, and it is indicative of how hot the metal got.

here's steel that's been heated to different temperatures for knife-making - as it gets hotter, a film of iron oxide develops, which interferes with the light, absorbing certain wavelengths - hence, we see particular colours.

starts off going yellowish, then bronze, then a purple, then bright peacock blue, then a pale blue. after that if it gets hotter, it goes a ice-blue grey, and after that it starts to form a hard black scaly surface called fire-scale.

Get of your computer and go out do a welding job. When you come home covered in oil and with bruised knuckles from fighting a manifold covered in muck for 3 hours with run-down bolts and welded it by hand all while working in the rain then please come back and we can talk.

why would a robot need to remove a manifold cover when it could cut it off with a torch, do what it needs to do then refix it itself in a way in which makes it easier for either itself or another robot to come along in the future and carry out other works to it. you think too narrowly or maybe i think too highly. we'll see soon enough....

>>722954989

car manufactures will just change the way parts are fitted together to suit their robotics, they will come up with new robot friendly ways to fix things together just like they had to come up with ways to fit things together that humans can understand and learn and do.

new standards will likely arise that are robot compliant then all car manufactures will adhere to the same standard ensuring that when you take your vehicle or when it takes itself ;) to the garage it can be fixed by whichever robot is stationed there.

don't get butthurt that your salary is finite and your worth as a welder is decreasing. you're not the only one who is going to lose their job.

You are wrong.
>>
>>722956115

eventually old cars will be phased out, there will likely be a niche for human mechanics to fix older vehicles for people who just like to drive or just haven't yet upgraded to a new vehicle or just like collecting older cars, but the job opportunities will get sparser and sparser as newer vehicles take to the roads.

Not going to happen anon. I've worked as mechanic and then a machinist for 22 years and program cnc "robots" etc. The 3D print machines will change things but your understanding of how and what these robots are capible of is off. I've set up large production machines and through fixturing and programming phased out many people's jobs but it's all geared to production work of the exact same parts that are produced repeatably. There will always be a need for welders and Manuel machinists as any automated production requires programming and set up to run parts. By the time one is ready with a cnc machine to run a single part a person on a Manuel machine would be done and have a half a day of production done.

I'm not saying it's going to happen overnight. I said 10 - 20 years, a lot can happen in that time, especially since intelligent robotics that are able to dynamically interact with their environment are only just starting to take off, when it gains more traction I think people will start to realise the implications.

We'll see how it goes. Robotic machines have been common since the 1980's and most shops don't have them or can compete with cheap Chinese shot goods even if they do. It's the same problem with the modern military equipment. They become so expensive that the number of planes etc is reduced to balance everything to a point of having one plane to share between all of the wings of the military if the trend keeps going on.
>>
>>722958135
Well, in a city, with 50km/h, yes.
While the Romanian truck driver wants to go with 90, and is not afraid of killing people.

Nigga started overtaking cars on hills, in corners, WITH A FUCKING TRUCK.
But yeah, that's just one experience, I drive a lot, meet with tons.

Last incident was with some german woman in a BMW. She went to overtake the truck, so she went into the left lane. Romanian trucker saw that the road will be one-lane-only later on, so he just decided to instantly change lanes. Almost crushed the car.

But yeah, I could write a fucking book about incidents as such.

Robotics have been around for a while you are right, but they have never had the attention they are starting to get. All attention has been on creating maximum computational power and condensing it, now we have got to a point we can build on that foundation with advanced robotics. maybe i am naive.

You would understand why if you had any experience with welding other than assembly line manufacturing.

Every job is different, parts need to be assembled differently and held differently.

Mass assembly line welding is already automated.

That is a tiny part of welding.
He'll of a lot of welding is at heights as well.

It's just not remotely reasonable in a 10-20 year period for what you are expecting.
>>
>>722948592
There are already self-driving cars that are better than humans - and welders only have to deal with mechanical parts and not humans who may or may not be obeying the traffic laws. A robot welder that can you everything you do is only a matter of time once someone decides that it's worth the money to produce one.

Not saying it'll happen in the next decade or two, but it's only a matter of time.

Your right about the computer advancements but I think the thing that will stifle its full use is the value of the computer controlled units vs the cost of human labor and people's ability to adapt and solve problems well enough. There are hordes of poor people through the world that are way cheaper to use as labor than a cutting edge machine that costs so much only a small % of company's can afford.

>>722958632
as a programmer, your logic is faulty.
The traffic has rules which everyone abides by. The conditions are always the same form the cars standpoint. The only thing a car can do is forward, backward, left, right and stop.

To make a driver less car you need
a car
all the traffic rules
and the sensors measuring the distance to everything around it.

Then you write the software for it, and the programmers needs to understand everything about the traffic.

I know of few programmers that know of welding. The robots that you see welding in a factory, learned that from an actual welder. A welder goes to the factory the first day. He wears a computerized glove with sensors. He then proceeds to weld. Then the robots will do the exact same thing he did.

Welding robots aren't smart, they are just repeating a motion someone did, nothing more.
And AI is total random garbage at this point. Sometimes it works perfectly and the other times it will just try and kill itself

There are hordes of cheap human labour available, but there is a reason it's cheap and widely available and namely that's because they are not highly skilled and only capable of menial tasks. sure you could teach a human to do any job, but let's say you select a poor man from india, how much would it cost + the time needed, first to get his education up to standard and then begin to teach him years worth of knowledge that can only be gleamed via real world experience, would it be more cost effective to have a robot know exactly what it is doing, the most efficient way to achieve the desired outcome and do it repeatably the same each and every time to a high degree of accuracy and within certain tolerances. Robots don't require food, don't require water, don't require sleep, don't have families, don't have emotions, don't have to have roots in one location. they may require maintenance but that is a far cry from the requirements of a human worker.

also we're not taking into consideration the human brain and the way it works, the way we biologically store information, the way we pull that information from our memory banks and put it use. we use the human brain as a kind of goal to reach, if we can get robots inline with the human brain then we are doing something amazing, but what about thinking beyond that, the human brain is all we know, but we don't know it's the best of the best, just that it's the best at what it does currently.

>The traffic has rules which everyone abides by. The conditions are always the same form the cars standpoint. The only thing a car can do is forward, backward, left, right and stop.

As I pointed out, everyone DOES NOT always follow the rules - and even when they DO follow the rules, not everything people do is easily predictable. The conditions are NOT always the same - sometimes the road can be wet or icy, other times it's uneven. Sometimes the lanes are wider, sometimes narrower. How fast you're moving affects everything you do. Driving a car is actually a pretty complex operation, once you start getting into the details. Making a welding robot that can figure out how to do a particular weld is actually fairly simple compared to making a self-driving car.

It just seems you have no practical understanding of what youre talking about.

We already have robots that can drive there. Then it's just a matter of loading a suitable welding bot into it, then having the robot car unload the welding bot, the welding bot scanning the tractor, detecting the defective part(assuming it doesn't already have that information), figure out how to best fix it, then actually do the welding. All in all, it probably takes more computing power to get the welding bot there than it does to fix the tractor.

A minimalist general purpose robot would never work because you'd need tons and tons of software for it to do anything useful. Now, a minimalist general purpose robot that overcomes the prohibitive difficulty of developing and maintaining that much software by harnessing the power in numbers and virility of the FOSS movement, that's actually pretty clever. Even so, cost is still an issue. Unless you're the richest man in the world and you're willing to hand these things out like candy, you just won't have enough fuel to get this rocket off the ground.

If you are, though, I'll take eight.

>>722960966
It also needs to understand what the bracket is for and what purpose it will be performing, have a concept of the item to be attached to the bracket, actually make the bracket because it doesn't actually exist yet which means getting the correct piece of steel, cut and bend it, after assessing that piece of steel for damage or faults....

Then when it's all done, assess the work for quality then actually attach the item to the bracket and test it's functionality.

It's not nearly as simple as you think, and what kind of robot woukd you need that could oerform all of those functions?

Not a single robot arm that's for sure

what you're talking about isn't a robot, it's a computer with legs. you can't just fucking stick motors on a computer and call it a robot. why? because a robot is an industrial machine, and a computer is fragile. what you gonna go when the software has glitches, and your shitty excuse for a robot runs into something or falls over, and hits its "head?" the disk hits the RW arm, all your hard work is destroyed, and you've got a worthless pile of motors that's wired up real good but can't fucking do anything. that is the WHOLE POINT of robotics as a separate field from computer science and electrical engineering.
>>
>>722962388
And then said robot faces a problem it has not trained for and boom just like that it's useless.
Something that happens daily in this line of work.
Can said robot improvise a piece of metal by cutting off a fender from an old wrecked car and adjusting it to fit another function completely out on some farm? How is the robot gonna deal with that?
How is the robot gonna deal with customers who need something that isn't in the robots "training"?
How is it gonna power it self? You know how much power a welder uses? We are talking massive generators today because there is no battery capable of doing it.

Aren't all robots just a collection of motors, metal and plastic? it's the software that divides it from a computer doing a specific set of tasks into a "thinking" thing that can interact with the environment and learn. just like the human body is a bunch of meat and bones without the brain that drives it. what are you going to do to a human that suffers a glitch such as seizure falls over and hits it head and is physically still "wired up" but is now permanently paralysed and can't move...

They've had robots that can weld for a while now, although robot technology is getting pretty advanced you are not going to see robots welding outside or doing any underwater work in the near future.

What can it really do other than grab things though?

I agree 100%, not yet. but you can see the potential?

>>722965168
Remember that just ten years ago self-driving cars capable of functioning in normal traffic would have sounded pretty damn implausible as well.

Yes, I'm sure that at the moment having a robot do better job at welding than humans outside factories let alone in actually difficult conditions would be implausible. But in another twenty or thirty years? I wouldn't be at all surprised.
>>
>>722965481
Yes, nowhere close to being within the next 20 years
>>
>>722965459

Even if all it can do is grab things, it's still a starting point, you've got to start somewhere. then maybe you program it using the camera to be able to identify objects in 3D space on it's own, then it can make informed judgements on what should or shouldn't be picked up. the ability to pick things up is taken for granted by humans, if a robot has the ability to pick things up it can pick up tools, materials, move packages... lots of things can come from the basic ability of grabbing stuff.
>>
>>722965481
Can't say I do, I'm no expert on underwater welding but I'm sure they need to be able to identify holes in a pipe line, and be able to weld in a precise and clean manner.
I'm not sue how a robot would be able to identify a hole in a pipe and if that robot should break underwater you've just lost a very expensive robot to underwater currents

I don't know what point you are trying to make with that video unless you posted the wrong link

Maybe you meant the video where a human started a nail for it, then it took 15 second of edited footage to hammer a single nail in.
>>
>>722944664
This is a nice TIG weld, OP's is a machine weld.

How do humans identify holes in pipes? if we're talking about underwater pipes holding pressure first there would be a drop in pressure that would notify a central computer which would then notify, lets call it a "repair bot" the repair bot is then sent to identify where said pressure leak is occurring if it's not already been located by the computer monitoring the pipeline at specific points, it could use various sensors to detect the leak, not just visual imaging but thermal imaging, pressure sensors that detect differential around the area of pipe which is leaking. this might not be feasible now, but it's not a complete impossibility to think this could absolutely happen in a relatively near future.
>>
>>722966639
I thought that's the link you wanted.
A human started that nail for it, and that's not so much hammering as it is dropping a hammer onto a nail.
The video is 15 seconds, but you can see editing cuts between each strike so it took much longer than that for it to prep each strike.

All that's actually doing is positioning a weight above the nail and dropping it.

A craftsman would have many nails hammered in that time even with the editing, and wouldn't have smashed the wood in the process.
If the robot was using the correct hammer for nails, it wouldn't work.
>>
>>722966921
In my opinion underwater welding will be the first to be automated.
General welding not even close to 20 years for the many reasons explained so far.
It would require a human to travel with the robot at all times which makes the robot unnecessary
>>
Just like others have said, there will be a time/place for robotic welders but they will never replace a good, old fashioned free lance welder. For production work like welding the shells/tanks of water heaters, robots are just fine. For stuff in the field, it's not gonna happen. Robots don't have a depth of past experience/knowledge that they can draw from when welding and encounter a problem.

The other large impediment to robotic welding is the cost. Price out what GM spends on one of its frame welding robots. It's easily in the millions but all it does is weld the same thing every day, all day and saves GM the trouble on inconsistency and lawsuits from faulty vehicles.

What will the robot do when it needs to remove the back half of a fame, make a new from scratch tubing and reinstall it for a link suspension? The robot can't do shit unless its told when I could no problem.

Robots/machines are great for repetitive/consistent work but they will never replace the human brain
>>
>>722966956
Sure, but that's just a general purpose robotic arm, not a hammering bot.
>>
>>722947148
Story of my life. I end up rebeveling most anything I weld anymore. Fucking half blind fitters who don't give a shit are a headache.
>>
>>722967173

General welding would depend on how humans choose to build structures going forward, for example building houses, offices and commercial factories with robots in mind, robot friendly architecture if you like.

there is obviously going to be backwards compatibility issues with robots built for a modern world trying to navigate through "old worldly" buildings, this will take time, a transnational period that could last quite a long time indeed.

General purpose is required for any job that is not a 100% replicated action.
A hammering bit would be stationary and inflexible in the actions it can perform.

Sure it could hammer a nail, but not for a purpose.
It couldn't cut the wood to size, clamp it, set an nail and hammer it then repeat that from the opposing 90 degree face.
>>
>>722967569
Industrial rigging and machinery will always need welding.
We're talking about the entire welding industry, most of which is mining and boilermaking.

Robots are not going to be free hanging on an climbing rope welding in the next 20 years.

Even the kind you're talking about couldn't do anything other than an actual repair weld.

Welding as a job is much more involved and varied.
It also needs power, so there still has to be a human with it, getting paid.
If there's a human robot watcher, why not just have him weld it instead
>>
>>722959370
Looking good, almost there buddy!
>>
>>722944053
which is more red pill. MIG or TIG.
>>
>>722968080

how couldn't a robot that is able to manoeuvre a welding torch via rotary joints and move from location a to location b with some form of legs, weld anyway it pleases, as long as it's taught the basic principles and techniques?

power is a problem, batteries are servery lagging behind the rest of technology, hopefully that will get addressed. but since we are talking hypothetical, why not have each robot with a small nuclear battery inside of it, if we sure up the dangerous aspects of nuclear power to make it safer to be around.
>>
>>722968553
Mig is ez pz, Tig takes more skill. Both get the job done.
>>
>>722968915
Because the argument is about robots taking over the welding industry within 10-20 years, not about if it will ever happen.

It will eventually, not anything close to 20 years though.

The robot would also need to carry the materials and set them up ready to be welded.
Welders don't just show up and weld something sitting ready on their workbench.
>>
>>722968915
Welding robots are fairly big and bulky and they are not as articulate as you think they are, it's possible to have a movable base for the robot but they are more commonly found on handling robots.
>>
>>722969278

What are you using to come to the conclusion that in 20 years we won't be exponentially more advanced in robotics that we are today? technology is advancing at a rapid pace, year after year. much quicker than you seem to be recognising or acknowledging.

That doesn't have much to do with welding. It's also really slow and I can see it being an encumbrance more often than not, especially in emergency situations.

There is always room for a skilled welder. Shitty robots and their programmers don't climb up and down.
Also, investment heavy and cost pressure and schedule. Robots suck in general when creating supply.

i'll send them back from now on ,i'll tell him to weld that , i'm not that type of guy but hey we're working in a shop , just imagine the shit that he can do out in the feild where you have to change a segment of the pipe .
>>
>>722969921
Even exponentially doesn't bring us to the level of welding being an obsolete job within 20 years.

You'll be about 35 by then. Try and remember this argument and see for yourself.

It will require fully functional humanoid robots. Both physically and mentally.

on pipe?
if it's xray and high pressure i'd go for the tig personal thing , if not , the mig lays the wire faster
>>
>>722970528

yeah right now its kind of clunky but give it time, these are early models. and this is a hospital application so you wouldn't want something flying down the halls killing pensioners. but what i was trying to show is that robots can and will have the ability to work in numerous environments. whats to say in years to come that a newer version of this robot isnt hauling itself to a patients beside because it's been told by a central computer that this person is about to suffer cardiac arrest, computer analyses the heartbeat of the patient via heart monitor and detects unusual patterns, sends a defibrillator bot to get into position ready to act to revive the patient before anything even happens.
>>
>>722971102
Because that shit's expensive, I'm currently working at a hospital and we won't even fork over dough to replace our terrible elevators that break every other week and have been around since the sixties. Hell our down-veyor has been broken for at least two weeks now and they still haven't replaced or fixed it yet.
>>
>>722971645
>Because that shit's expensive
The entire point of robots is that they SAVE money in the long run. No-one would use them otherwise. Hiring real people costs tons of money, especially highly educated people like doctors.
>>
>>722971645

absolutely it's expensive, it's an emerging field, it's always going to be expensive. but MRI scanners were/are also expensive but you see those more and more as either the price comes down or the realisation of usefulness increases. as for the elevator isn't that more to do with the ineffective building management/maintenance rather than funding or both?
>>
>>722971947

absolutely. say you pay a dr 100k a year... you might spend 500k on a robot, in 5 years time that robot has paid for itself meanwhile the dr is still on the payroll. as long as bugs are ironed out to ensure maintenance of the robot is kept to a minimum then the initial cost and maintenance costs will be far less than employing a human.
>>
>>722971947
>Doctors are the people carting around supplies.
There are a lot of hospital workers that are not doctors or nurses and they get paid a little more than minimum wage, they are the pack mules.
>>722972110
But MRI machines are extremely useful, pay some dude minimum wage to cart around some IV bags is much more cheaper than getting slower and expensive devices that will still cost a lot in maintenance when they do end up shitting the bed.
>>

I was talking about a robot going to revive people with a defibrillator, not just carrying out menial tasks, which it could also do at the same time.

It's just taken since the early 80's till now to get what we have.

What we have is impressive, but simple surgery won't be performed by autonomous robots within 20 years.

point me to a true self driving car today. not a driver assist car than needs a human to keep an eye on it. they don't exist and they won't exist in the next 30 year.

Moreover, driver assist is arguably more dangerous than a regular car. who wants a car that can drive itself 70% of the time and when the driver is dozing off suddenly needs emergency human assistance.

Don't bother anon.
In 20 years fast food and supermarkets jobs will still exist.

You DO realize that the reason self-driving cars all need to have a driver on the seat is because the legislation demands there's someone driving the car, NOT because the driver actually has need to keep an eye on it, right?

Yeah, scrub. I'm old enough to remember when everyone was predicting flying cars in 20 years. Meanwhile in the real world, it will take trillions of dollars of infrastructure to make a self driving car work anything near 100% of the time. Still waiting for your example of a true self driving car.
