I have a bull bar that not only is it almost perfect but got it for $11 from the junk yard lol.
Anyway both the racket and section of the frame are completely down to bare metal but when I put the bracket to the frame, bare metal to bare metal, the two will not weld to tether and bond but the flux wire will weld to the frame and if the bracket is up to the frame the weld sticks to it (if I try to weld to the bracket while it’s on the ground I won’t even get a spark).
So my question is why can’t I weld them together!?
I’ve tried both high and low voltage and moved the speed of the flux wire up and down and still nothing 🤦♂️.
Just so you have the info I have a 125 amp flux wire welder and I don’t know what kind of metal the bracket is all I can say even with a mallet it was super hard to bend it the way I needed it. Thanks for the help and if the wrong section please move 😃, thank you
