Welding copper wire together, has anyone tried?

admin

I have a one inch cluster of copper wire(500V line) and I want to fuse the copper along the length to see if I can eventually make it look like a piece of wood.  The desired outcome would be to create something that looks like a Bonsai, only not as intricate.  If anyone has any suggestions please share.Ouizee

Reply:B_C, what gauge is that sheet, and what amps??
Reply:Use sil-phos to solder it istead. If you weld it you lose the 'grain' of the material and just have a mass of copper. Sil Phos is easy to use, needs no flux when used on copper, and will highlight the grain structure.
