Platinum VIP Aft3rmath Posted March 24, 2015 Platinum VIP Share Posted March 24, 2015 Here's one of my creations at work. It's a decline impact ramp designed to simulate railway crashes. Not sure if anyone else can weld, but this was my first MIG welding project and I really enjoyed it! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docwarren Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Pretty small train to fit on that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum VIP Aft3rmath Posted March 24, 2015 Author Platinum VIP Share Posted March 24, 2015 Just a simulation. We managed to get the test item weighing 1800 lbs up to 11.7 ft/sec before impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just playen/RA Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I was going to ask if it was strong enough but you already answered that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monoxide Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I must say your welds look pretty damn good for your first project with a MIG. Do you do any other type of welding like ARC or TIG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum VIP Aft3rmath Posted March 26, 2015 Author Platinum VIP Share Posted March 26, 2015 We've got all the equipment, just haven't learned yet. It'd be nice to know though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckCookieMonster Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Cool project. I love building stuff and have yet to work with steel/welds. I'm a wood guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
