We have given contract to the local railings constructor and they have put the railing Balusters on the floor along with clips to put glass on. I am satisfied with their work so far, only thing that is bugging me is the weird looking welding work near the clips.
This is how they look after polishing
He says his grinding wheel does not reach the corners, so he cannot smooth it out.
Is there anyway to fix this issue ?
That welding would be termed by one of my instructors as “bird droppings”...
It needs to be done properly where the weld joins and fills the 90 gap evenly and is called a fillet weld.
Get them to grind it out and do it properly. A 4” angle grinder with a new disc will get into that.
Have a look at some of the welds shown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrS_yafue6M
A rule of thumb is that a good weld looks good . Your base metals look like stainless ; If it is strongly magnetic it is ferritic or martensitic. If one of those the welder must use the right fillers to avoid hard brittle welds. The weld shown does not inspire confidence.
