FUSION WELDING SHARP .005 THK 316 SHEET TO 316 TUBULAR INLET AND OUTLET - CORNER NOT SHARP

[65CCJ]

I HAVE A .005" 316 SHEET SANDWHICHED BETWEEN TWO 1/4 316 DISKS. ALL THREE PARTS ARE JOINED WITH FUSION WELD AND PARTS HAVE SHARP EDGES SO THE MATERIAL CAN FUSE EASILY.

PROBLEM: INLET DISK SHARP CORNER HAS A .031 DEEP X .015 STEP WHERE THE .005" THICK DISK SHOULD MAKE CONTACT AND BE FUSED TOGETHER. SEE THE ATTACHED IMAGE.

SOLUTION:
1. FACE OF .031" UNTIL SHARP CORNER RETURNS. SIMPLE AND ONLT AFFECT ONE PART BUT I DONT KNOW OAL REQUIREMENTS. HAVE INQUIRY OUT.
2. TRY TO WELD UP STEP AND MACHINE BACK TO SQUARE SHOULDER. IS THIS EVEN FEASIBLE
3. oTHER RECOMMENDATIONS TO ALLOW FUSION WELD OR AL ALTERANTIVE.

Why not weld in the square groove fusing the parts together?
More of less upward at 45deg.
You will just melt thought the thin sheet anyway.
This is a gas flow correct?

yes should be no problem , take a couple of parts and weld them up. set up a schedule,

 

CapsLock is stuck on, making the question even more unclear.
