So i was wondering, I have built a few roll cages in the past, all for my own projects. My friends have also built a few, their welds look like the typical stack of dimes, mine don't. I'm a Boilermaker and was trained to weld through my local a few years ago. For the most part when we are performing our root passes we use the key-hole technique while weaving between the two tubes.I have welded all my roll cages somewhat this way, I don't keyhole the metal because the tubes don't meet up like they do in a boiler, but I do use the weave technique. I was just wondering if this is an incorrect way t obe welding my cages. I've never had a joint fail, but i've also never been in a serious accident. My thought process is, if it can withstand multiple thousands of pounds of pressure, 1500 degrees, and countless heat cycles it should be able to withstand some abuse on a race track. Am I wrong?
Reply:Actually on some materials a weave is going to do much more harm than good. Is this a mild steel cage, or crome moly?Have we all gone mad?

Reply:Stack of dimes looks purdy but that's all. There is a reason you were not trained to weld that way.
