I have a heavy duty dump trailer that I pull with my tractor. The tongue jack has always seemed a bit underwhelming to me so I decided to change it out for a heavier duty one rated for 2 tons. The new jack needed to be welded to a mounting plate. Instead of stick welding it I decided to use MIG spray arc instead. I ground down to clean bright metal on both pieces and set my machine to go into the spray transfer realm. I didn't manipulate the gun at all, just a straight in slight pull and let her rip. The picture doesn't do the bead justice but it is a thing of beauty! I wish I could have used the same process to attach the plate to the trailer but I just stick welded it to the frame of the trailer with 6011 to get through the rust on the frame. I only wire brushed the weld you see in the picture. No grinding. Amazing what things occupy my simple mind these days.
