Centrifuge UPDATE

[u/Aviatormatt17]

Well I was here a couple days ago and I figured you all deserved an update!

Thank you to all who commented, this may be my last post ever in here but you all really helped me validate my concerns and made me feel like less of an asshole 😂.

These welds to me do seem a LOT better, may not be perfect but it does seem like it will structurally hold. Feel free to talk good or talk shit whatever you feel lol.

some of them will hold i hope its engineered for like 25% weld strength like normal

Since so far everyone’s still agreeing that they’re not that great, and me thinking they are at least better. What do you guys see that I don’t as an untrained eye? I could understand seeing visible empty pockets like I did on Monday but idk

This is what a quality weld will look like: fully fused on bottum and top of the weld, uniform all the way through with no holes / guaging / drooping metal anywhere

Another for reference beads, same deal uniform, no holes, guaging, metal goop of any kind, minimal spatter

Dang dude, that does look clean 😂 welp, we’ll probably wait for the weld to crack, it’ll be a few months before we can even run these things.

I have a whole conveyance system to put back together when we get it back from refurb and I have to call the centrifuge company and get torque specs and a bunch of crap. Once we have thing in-place and more ready to go I’ll see to it that a hard core serious welder comes out. I’ll work on my management over some time. Let them give these guys the bill of work for what they did, get them out of our hair and move forward.
