can this steel wire be welded?

I've never welded it myself or have seen it welded, but since it is made of steel it must be possible. I would scrapE/sand the wire clean of any zinc coating to expose the bare steel.

No. this is a stick welder. You really need a wire feeder for exhaust pipes.

Check your welding rod specs. Basically it should be able to weld just about any thickness with a 220v power source. It would of course have to be a multi pass weld for thicker materials. It will weld pretty much every type of type of steel if you select the right fillers and set up. Given what you're asking, you might take a little more time reading up on welding before you buy. There's lots of free info on the web. ESAB also had a pretty good free tutorial in this education/training section.

the metal is different thickness than a trumpet, you would have to be able to weld it.

You would have to get a gas adapter and run a shielding gas or it wont hold at all it would be an extremely brittle weld

I would think so. There is no coating over the steel and steel can be heated I believe. Beware it will be hot to handle.

It could be I guess. Nothing is welded to the ends that would stop it. It is great quality and would promote this product. Love it

Sure. I believe this is 16 gage wire but you could use a red or blue crimp connector, or better yet, solder and heat shrink.

Yes. Have to use the right shielding gas and the right wire for the different types of stainless steel.

You would have to purchase a separate chiller unit, as well as a water cooled torch. You can weld metal as thick as you wish, or have patience for.

You don't need any special wire, and I don't know that any is available. Be aware that when you weld stainless, the weld itself will not be stainless, and will rust, as will the area around it. It will most likely also be weaker and not as neat as a mild steel weld.

It's a nice little welder , I have welded 1/2 inch steel with no problem.But I don't think it would last long if you over worked it.If you want to weld for hours at a time , get a bigger welder.

I wouldn't advise bending the wires. That would weaken the welds, where they're connected to the frame. Proceed at your own risk.

Oh, my mistake it should be able to weld up to 6/16" diameter steel rod because you are welding around a rod from both sides. So it should do just fine with 1/4" inch rod.

yes it will but you will need to turn the temp down to 1. Change the heat setting to match the material. Additionally I have not changed the wire speed once it has been dialed in to the material that is being welded..

According to the manufacturer you can. Its rated up to 10 or 12 gauge steel.

yes, you would have to splice the wires together. Cut the corroded socket part off and connect the wires using a quick slice connector. Hope this helps
