Amazing !! Transformation of Arc/Stick welding Machine into TIG welding machine. Hybrid welder 👨‍🏭

This video is all about transforming a simple Arc/Stick welding machine into a Tig welding machine with simple Modification. As we know Tig welding machine is costly compare to a stick welder and, in many countries, people cannot afford expensive TIG welding machines. This modification will be applicable to any stick/welding machine.
I have made a separate circuit for this Tig welding that will not affect your normal stick welding performance. I have added a separate switch for that so that if you do not require the Tig function you keep the switch off and use your Stick function normally. I used a 24V gas valve for the Argon gas 24-volt power supply (SMPS) to give power to the valve. That power is controlled with the Tig trigger switch that is mounted on the Tig torch.
You can use a 12Volt valve and 240Volt valves are also available. In those cases, you have to change the power supply. 240Volt gas valves are a little costly but, in that case, you can use the same 240 volts which are required for an arc welder. No further SMPS or external power supply is required.
In my previous video, I made my own custom Tig torch. That is a very fun project and new learning for me to work with copper.

Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding, also known as Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) is an arc welding process that produces the weld with a non-consumable tungsten electrode.
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐜 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠
Stick welding is a family of welding processes. Arc welding creates a weld by heating materials with an electrical arc until they coalesce. Stick welding can be performed with or without pressure and with or without adding joint filler materials. Many different types of materials can be welded by an arc welding process, assuming they are fair conductors of electricity.

I'm pretty sure you could've got the same result buying a tig torch with a gas valve on the torch plugged straight onto the regulator and the lead connected to the hose... Did i miss a hf start function?

[@DanielSan-ch7dr]

That's impressive for a home built machine. Some store bought ones probably aren't as good. Great skills my friend, the people who just say go buy one probably live next to harbour freight in USA, you show way more skill in actually building your own.

[@strtcop]

on a 220v stick welder , do you tap 1 side (110v) to power up the 24v supply? and you use the welders neg. electrode for ground , Do you use the pos + electrode at all?

[@stinopharan5528]

The switch probably for just for the gas. This is probably just a SCRATCH TIG with switch on/off gas function.

[@klausbrinck2137]

Couldn´t you just mount a finger/mechanically-actuated gas-valve directly on the torch ??? I´d have saved you lot of trouble.... Do you have to scratch, in order for the arc to build-up, or can you start the arc from 1-2cm of distance...??? Thanks for any answer, I know little about such stuff, and make stupid questions, maybe...

[@ambroscustom]

It's possible but not economical. Solenoid valve is much better option to control the gas and once the switch is released the valve shut down the gas supply and yes it's the scratch tig, it's not possible to ignite the spark 1 cm above the surface. Don't worry about questions brother, you are welcome always.

[@asephendra]

Great video Bro..👍 I wanna know, is it the same feeling if You use the real Tig welding machine ? Any discomfort than real Tig welding machine ?

[@ambroscustom]

Thanks bud, well feeling depends upon what you used in the past, if you are using high frequency tig then it might be a problem but for scratch tig user it's almost the same.

[@vagishgpatil3013]

That's osm..Just a question. did you connect the Air Hose to any He or Inertgas Tank Or just Atmospheric air

[@ambroscustom]

Thanks dear, it's connected to argon cylinder.

[@karlalton3170]

Is it scratch start bro ? 😁👍

[@jubinvaravind4925]

How the high frequency arc created.. Bcoz, you haven't used the high frequency card❗️

[@vagishgpatil3013]

Bro I am watching it again.And wanted to know few things..How much argon costs,,and Filler rod price...Since I don't Visit Local shop I don't know about the costing...I am planning to make this conversion with my Esab in future and I just want To Keep eveything simple By just mounting all the components Like Pnematic valve,Power supple and connector outside I,e On another enclosure ..And Connecting tig torch to machine would be the only work everything external..Eht do you think about this

[@ambroscustom]

Dear gas prices are not same everywhere in India and depend upon the cylinder size it's varied alot.I have 1mtr. High cylinder which cost me 1000rs to fill. The 6ft tall cylinder cost double now a days and due to market inflation they are increasing rapidly. And the filler rod costs around 800-1000 rs per kg and since it's a 5 kg packing you can calculate it. As far as conversion is concerned I suggest you to buy a tig welder rather than going for conversion because stick welder does not come with high frequency board and doing scratch tig and lift tig is not comfortable process to do. So my recommendation is to go with good tig welder because trust me that js worth the money spending. If you are just a hobbyist you can go with this conversation there is no problem in that and making a separate unit for the conversation is good and easy to do. So chose the decision based upon your usage. Good luck

[@khoaho2758]

Tig welding machine is using high- pressure spark ignition. You have not touched the soldering iron to the metal. If you press the switch, will the soldering iron spark?

[@ambroscustom]

No it's not going to spark that way, that's why it's considered to be scratch tig or lift tig.

[@mp-uy9sv]

@@ambroscustom two more mods you could cheaply and easily do . 1. HF starter boards are cheap off eBay, amazon etc.. why not add a High-frequency starter to the machine, the wiring on how you do it would be interesting to see. 2. add two more dense connectors to get AC current , 1. dinse connected directly to the transformer to get AC , the DC get from your current setup out of the full-bridge rectifier

[@ambroscustom]

@@mp-uy9sv thanks for the info brother, definitely look into those points also.

Sorry my brother. Yoh can help me. How to make dc tig weld to AC tig weld for alunium. Tank you. 🙏

[@ambroscustom]

These stick welders are dc you can't make ac tig welding machine, you need seperate board, so it's better to buy machine. These hacks are good if you have to do little bit of work. For heavy work, use genuine machine.

[@drmgweldingandfabricationc1864]

How much DC voltage for your arc welding machine bro ?

[@ambroscustom]

I think you want to know current rating. My machine is 200A. But I prefer to weld on 90-100 amp. Depending upon the thickness.

[@drmgweldingandfabricationc1864]

I have question for a voltage not a amp bro?

[@drmgweldingandfabricationc1864]

Your small mistake for this your use smps Primary DC power supply welding machine 24dc ?

[@atheist_happie]

@@drmgweldingandfabricationc1864 it's depends on your solenoid valve you can use 12 vdc valve if you not have 24v dc valve or use ac valve but i don't suggest you to use ac valve bcz of switch in your hands dc is safe but not ac so use 12v or 24v valve use smps supply accordingly..

[@sureshkumar4140]

what gas is used here, what will its cost? what is cost of conversion to TIG (ex welding machine)

[@ambroscustom]

Argon gas used. Cost 2000 INR

[@4_doors_more_whores]

@@ambroscustom 2000 for argon cylinder? And how much each refill cost and how much cfm is your argon cylinder

[@ambroscustom]

No bro, gas cost is 900/- for 7 cubic metre cylinder. And the conversion cost into Tig is 2000/- 500/- for gas valve 200/- for pneumatic fittings 800/- for 24V power supply Other expenditure on hardware etc

What happen without gas soldering

[@ambroscustom]

Without gas welding (arc welding) just switch off the red rocker switch that I have installed. In normal stick welding you not need to press red switch. Connect your welding holder and do weld as per required current. I made tig welding circuit separate that will not affect stick welding function.

[@WANG-GAMER]

I mean what happen without gas in TIG WELDING

[@WANG-GAMER]

What happen without gas welding in TIG

[@ambroscustom]

The Aragon gas act as a shield gas between non consumable tungsten electrode and weld material. Without gas air may enter to your weld joint which will make your weld joint porous and your tungsten electrode become black and dull in sharpness and you get poor quality weld.

[@WANG-GAMER]

Please make a vedio in without gas welding tig
