Сварка угольным электродом. Часть 2 из 2: демонстрация процесса

Part 1: "Possibilities and Features," here:    • Сварка угольным электродом. Часть 1 из 2: ...   I've successfully used this method to repair holes in bowls, pots, and buckets. If the hole diameter is larger than 7 mm, a steel patch must be selected first. It can be used to weld sheet metal as thick as 0.5 mm. This method has proven effective for joining stainless steel. It's not very suitable for aluminum: special fluxes and solders are required, so I only use it for melting twisted joints. For soldering and welding, I use a homemade carbon electrode made from the contact insert of a trolleybus current collector "shoe." A ready-made rod made from a regular AA battery is also suitable. The most reliable method is to buy a ready-made carbon or graphite electrode from a store. I use copper wire as solder or, where applicable, melt the edge of the part directly with the electrode. You can improve the quality of the connection with fluxes, but I have virtually no experience using them. I'd be happy if you could share your knowledge!
