Monocarbon Arc Torch V.2010 (Soplete De Arco De Un Carb�n, V.2010)
Intro: Monocarbon Arc Torch V.2010 (Soplete De Arco De Un Carb�n, V.2010)
NOTE: Finally I make this other torch. December 29, 2010.
Esta es una mejora significativa de la primera versión. Es más económica, más fácil de hacer y más segura. Esta herramienta es ideal para calentar al rojo blanco piezas pequeñas (y no tanto) de hierro, a efectos de forjarlas, templarlas o fundirlas. Funciona solamente con una soldadora eléctrica, y es casi como un soplete de acetileno, aunque más sucia y peligrosa que este. Con ella se pueden hacer cosas que con el electrodo normal de soldar sería imposible.

This tool is ideal for heating white-hot small (and not so) iron parts, in order to forge, temper or melt them. It is only for use with an electric welder. It functions like an acetylene torch, but much more dirty and dangerous, and only for medium sized pieces. It serves to make some things that the iron electrode can't make

STEP 1: Material (material)
Dado que los únicos electrodos de carbón que puedo conseguir son los carbones de pilas comunes, tuve que conseguir un caño de cobre con un diámetro interno similar al de dichos carbones.
Since the only carbon electrodes that I can get are the common batteries carbons, I had to get a copper pipe with an inner diameter similar to that of such carbons.

STEP 2: Cortando Y Aplastando (cutting and Flattening)
Corté un trozo de ese caño de cobre, unos 3 cm más largo que el carbón de la pila. Luego le hice un corte longitudinal para que el carbón pudiera entrar fácilmente, y para poder apretarlo con una abrazadera. Aplasté el otro extremo del tubo de cobre.
I cut a piece of that copper pipe, about 3 cm longer than the battery carbon. Then I made it a longitudinal cut so the carbon could enter easily, and be able to tighten it with a clamp. I flatten the other end of the copper pipe.

STEP 3: Uso (use)
Se usa en reemplazo del electrodo de soldadura, directamente. A medida que el carbón se va gastando -mucho más lentamente que los electrodos de soldadura- se afloja la abrazadera y se extrae más carbón.
Use it in replacement of the welding electrode, directly. As the carbon is spent -much more slowly than welding electrodes- loosen the clamp and extract more carbon.

Have you tried fuse-welding with this torch? What I mean is to place 2 pieces of thin (~16 gauge) sheet steel together, strike the arc, then run it along the steel edges to fuse them together. You can do this with a TIG welder, can yours do it as well? With white-hot heat, it seems like you might be able to.

There are several instructive in this regard, search WELDING or WELD. I have very little experience as a welder, welding for me is more an art than a technique. I am satisfied if my welds are strong, because beautiful I have not any. What I noticed is that the carbon electrode consumes more power than that of iron, because welder overheated two or three times, within a few minutes of use.

Personally I had used this welding method to weld littles point or welds, just a little touch and is Dones, i´m working in an ibles to Solve some Doubts.. Thanks for the Votes.

What the author is doing here is running a high amperage electrical current through a piece of carbon rod to make a very hot arc that can be used to make metal very hot. Once heated, it can be bent or shaped with a hammer.

I'm going to try this, but it seems that (in the first and second worlds at least), you can get a pack of 50 "copper coated gouging carbon electrodes" for about US$25. It's a shame that you can't get a supplier to ship them to Argentina.
