No. Did you have a question or point to make?

What kind of welding are you planing on doing?

Whereas welding with a microwave is possible, the results will neither be uniform nor reliable unless a 'puddle' is the desired result. Microwaves lend themselves much more towards smelting and alloying of various metals.

Under normal conditions - that is, unless very specific conditions are developed deliberately - a microwave will not create X-rays as the energy levels are simply too low. But that is not to suggest that large amounts of metal in a microwave will not do serious damage to the device itself, or possibly send molten splatter far and wide. Put something solid between you and the unit when you are doing your experiments.

Are you trying to use the oven or just the power transformer for
welding?

It works fairly well as a spot welder when you remove the high
voltage secondary and replace it with 6 turns of #6 AWG wire.

The key is having a settable and repeatable timing pulse to turn
the primary on and off. And the proper tips attached to the wire
for spot welding.

I have in the shop I put together a couple of years ago.

That's the transformer. There's plenty of information about using
a micro's power transformer for DIY welding. But the OP said "by
using microwave oven".

Maybe he meant the transformer. That's why I asked in another
post. Let's see if he comes back with a clarification.
