weld spatter prevention
(OP)
i have an application on my welding robot where weld spatter has been a bit of a problem. we have two pieces that are welded together. we have a 12mm thick plate with a 40mm hole in it. this plate has four drilled and counterbored holes on 65mm bolt circle. we put a 40mm shaft inside the 40mm hole and make a circular weld. we apply anti-spatter to the part to help reduce the spatter problem. however, i still have the prblem of the spatter getting inot the counterbored holes. unless removed, the spatter prevents the M8 soket head cap screw from fitting into the counterbore. can someone recommend a material that i could use as a plug to put into the counterbored hole that can be easily removed after welding?
thanks for the help.
thanks for the help.

Not an ideal solution but could you go with individual plugs for the holes, it would be a pia to have to remove them individually if the quantity was large....Mike

Its not good for backing welds, but spatter won't stick and it can't be welded to your material.

It has worked out pretty well for us, although we are welding A36 steel with mill scale on it. The weld has a hard time sticking to it, let alone splatter.
