Great video! I wish I had seen this when I was starting out.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. We all start out the same, getting the same results.

Hello sir. How to use lift tig on thin stainless tubes like 1.0mm and 1.2mm?

[@weldingempire]

Hi, that is the material thickness I was using in the video. Did you have a go at the stainless welding?

[@JokoEngineeringhelp]

Those are some good welds. Do you have any tips for avoiding distortion? I TIG welded up a rectangular stainless water tank once and did 1 inch beads at different locations all along the seams. It held back the warp very well, but it was time consuming on the long seams. Is there a better way?

[@weldingempire]

Thanks. On thinner stainless steel. I recommend placing fusion tacks (quick small tacks no filler wire) every inch. Placing heatsinks as close as possible to the weld area. For example. Welding in stainless sinks in a bench top. I would put wet rags as close to the weld on the bench top corners and aluminium plate on the straights. I don't recommend backstep welding as it tends to ripple the thinner material. I generally don't use filler wire on outside corners, nut have it there in case. I hope that helps. I will build an outdoor kitchen in the coming months where I will demonstrate the methods.

Don't you think your perfect weld is overcooked ?I think your travel speed is low and you start cooking the stainless
