Without flux or shielding gas it's not welding. The oxygen in the air is getting to the molten metal and you're just gluing things together with brittle slag.
Exactly right the same thing happens when I short things out with my extension cord. That's not welding. The very definition is joining two metals as if they were never separated. Spot welding works because no air is between the two weldments.
@@donaldcampbell7894 I guess in a rare case were you need to spot weld a battery temporally in an emergency in the middle of nowhere then it mite be a good idea.
SalemikTUBE I up-voted you, but: Actually, upon consideration, there might be some CO2 shielding present due to the hot carbon rod absorbing the free oxygen in the vicinity, albeit the oxygen has to already be there to be absorbed. I might have to give him that... Also, the carbon rod might cause some surface hardening and brittleness. All in all I agree it is not a very good method.
U dont need sheilding gas or flux to weld thares sodering spot welding and plastic welding that dosent use shielding gas but you are right that its not going to be a good weld or a tack and would break easy
Really cool idea. This could be very useful in tack welding very thin sheet metal, if one didn't have a tack welder. I would recommend a larger 12 volt battery to power it that can handle the short circuit amperage without risk of damaging the battery.
I have been wanting to do this for several years but did not know how to make the high current or how much voltage is required. Useful video. Thanks for sharing.
Short circuit machine at least it works it's very creative it's the heck of an idea for a poor person you know if you can't look past the idea of the creativity in it then you probably got money to buy a simple battery spot welder machine so why are you watching DIY videos Good job dude
Please use Carbon-Zinc Cells. They have a Carbon rod. (Anode). Alkaline cells do not have them. Anyhow it's not a good idea to short circuit a battery via a carbon rod (very low resistance), which will lead to premature failure of the Source (Battery). Regards, Engineer from India.
Yep, yep, yep. Your comment was earlier than mine. Don't do that unless you want to get rid of your battery pretty soon otherwise your battery will degrade and die even if it's new.
@@senpaiseiichi3645 No! The electrode requires quite a high current to heat up. Instead you can use a 12V/5A (60W or ~72VA) transformer as the source. The higher the current rating the better. Regards, BTG TIGER 1997.

@@digitalben420 never know.... He might be able to McGyver something that involves using 6 12 volt car batteries, a paper clip, some duct tape, a stuffed porcupine, a can of butane, a cotton ball, and a pool noodle to make something that could help with that... 🤷♂️😅
if you guys want to do this with welding gas for more quality professional results, you need argon gas. Buying a tank is $200+ and this is a budget build so taht is out. I recommend buying wine preservation argon which comes in a spray paint can size at 80psi for around $9 per can if you buy 2 cans. It will buy you about 2 minutes of welding time and you can send it through a tube and blow it onto your weld when you begin welding. you will need to make a finger switch to activate it and get it blowing just when you are about to engage the weld. These cans will enable you to do some decent small welds for a while.
@@woodywood4544 I was refering to the lack of adhesive material, but after reading the definition of welding I must agree that I was wrong - indeed there are methods which implement melting without additional materials... my bad, regards :)
Can you use welding rods? Or is the object your welding, just melting itself together? For instance, if I had 2 pieces of square aluminum tubing I wanted to weld together, could I use a welding rod?
Basically shorting the battery to create an arc, extended periods of high current draw that the battery is not designed for will at the least cause irreversible damage to the plates, if the electrode gets stuck also serious risk of battery explosion, or have I missed something?
Hello. I am a very new beginner. I can not find the materials or products used in the video. Could you provide them in the description or in a comment, please?
Those carbon rods do not come in AA batteries but two of them do come in 6 volt batteries the big Square batteries for flashlights the big Lantern flashlights
If you look up what kinda metal was used for a battery you could have your own style. I like this as a small material version, but I want something more powerful for thick steal- power from an outlet would be my goal.
nice video.. had no idea little batteries had the carbon rods in them. You can use the 6v battery carbon rods with a welder and make a forge to melt metal in in.
Where is the power supply coming from. What size type wire u using. Could u use a 2.5 wire and is the supply connect to a 20 volt DCoutlet. Could it also be used as 220 volts power like a regular 220 weilding machine.?????????
But of course. Only, it has to be powerful - able to deliver constant high current (30 - 50A or more - the more, the better) without a drop of voltage during a long intervals. Practically, it would need to be a stabilized PSU of at least 500 Watt (say, 12 VDC/40 ADC). That being said, traditional PSU would require a transformer with a soft iron core as powerful as 1000VA, massive "graetz" (bridge rectifier) and a lot of "filtration" (capacitors with huge capacity). The more current and more voltage in a battery (or PSU), the tool would be able to weld thicker pieces of metal in less time...

Carbon rod from AA battery helps, but shielding gas to prevent oxidation during 'welding' would be a plus.

The key piece here is the carbon rod extracted from a battery at 1:40
acts as a makeshift welding rod..
i wonder how a real welding rod would work though.
@@basketcase1235 it would stick or the Flux on the rod would insulate it from completing a circuit. It would not float in an arc.
A tungsten carbide welding tip would work better.
You also can connect a variable light switch to control the current.
Just a question, would the joint have the same strength as to that of regular machines?
This looks fabulous for tinkering with.
@@PC-tz6rw I am a welder by trade and I know that this is not a good weld.
Why because it requires something to shielding gas.
Could you explain shielding gas? Do you think this would seal a small crack in a catylitic converter or do I need like a filler metal?
@@spycat917 shielding gas displaces the atmosphere in and around the area being welded.
Even if you are fixing a tiny crack.
The other method is to use a welding flux.

It's 12volts, probably not gonna kill you. Disfiguring at the worst 😂
@@user-bt2lx4gy7h its won't kill us with 12v. But u will get pretty good wound burn if the battery blow close up to you
I don't think he's referring to the 12V probably more towards the chance of exploding batteries and flying shrapnel. "Just a thought"
Carbon electrode like arc lamps used in early projectors also can emit carbon monoxide,toxic gas.exhaust must

That's not a welder you're using a carbon Rod which means you've made a gouger it's made for cutting welds out not putting them in
Could be used as a tack welder for like batteries, but not a traditional welder by any means.
