Some “sofa masters” with foam at the mouth will prove that it is not realistic to do this and it makes no sense to even try, but an experienced welder can do anything. Why is it necessary at all - to make a bottle neck with an electrode? More for fun, of course. Well, check your own skill level. Do you think you will be able to repeat this experiment?
But before you try, it will not be superfluous to figure out what and how to do it. For this experiment, you will need any glass bottle with a narrow neck - for example, from under beer, mineral water or sweet soda.
We clamp the electrode into the holder, and it will be necessary to clamp the second electrode into the mass, having previously removed the coating from it (so that there is only bare metal). If it is a pity to spoil the electrode, you can use ordinary steel wire. In order for everything to go “without a hitch”, one must adhere to a certain algorithm of actions.
How to brew the neck of the bottle the first time
If you get carried away by the process, then from the high temperature the neck of the bottle may melt or crack, and then everything will have to start all over again. To avoid this, you must immediately catch the arc and keep the steel bar (wire) at a small distance from the electrode.
Then it is necessary to gradually melt the glass and fuse the metal into it. If you are interested in how this happens live, be sure to watch the video on our website, which describes in detail and shows how to brew the neck of a bottle with a conventional electrode.
