TIG Welding Thick to Thin Aluminum | Everlast Welders

[@Welddotcom]

Another awesome video! Jam packed with good tips!

[@everlastgenerator]

Thanks guys

[@igortretsnom]

would it help to pre heat the thicker material?

[@obi-shankenobi5891]

Nice vid brother. Doing some thick to thin today. Thanks for the tips! ✊

[@NelsonBarbero]

Gracias por la subtitulado en español! Un abrazo desde Argentina! Exelente videos!

[@Mike-sn9nv]

Noob here. This is the first I've heard of cup size to influence arc width. Will keep it in mind and try it. Like your vids Mark.

[@paulkurilecz4209]

Tyvm, most helpful. I am currently doing a lot of this.

[@BTB31]

at 2:24 is it sourcing for a ground ? look at the orange glow at the edge of the .375 great info as aways , thanks for all the pro tips

[@everlastgenerator]

It's possible there was a weak ground.

[@jwhiteker1]

Best dimes I've ever seen bro!! Thank you for the great info!

[@zoranrodic-tk8lu]

Grüß aus Serbien.Sehr gut. Weiter so schweißen. Alles Gute!👌

[@totalcardetailing2022]

Just found your channel a few weeks ago, just keep to videos coming. Good job!

[@everlastgenerator]

We intend to. New videos every Thursday at 3:00 PM EST.

[@totalcardetailing2022]

Everlast Welders Great!

[@danl.4743]

Same here. One of the best channels.

[@iqbal1618]

I generally work on the Mercedes panel for 2MM. So will this Ac take work on thinner material?

[@Killerteam08]

Thanks so much for this, I find myself coming back to this every few weeks just to get to grips with it again, each time improving.

[@mistermac4118]

Wow! Maybe one day I can do that with your direction, thanks. 😊

[@johngodfrey1729]

Hi the best welding i have seen ,and the tips info A!, all the best.

[@scottcarr3264]

Thank's Mark, I have a job at work at the moment where I'm welding 3" cubes to 2"x2"x1/8" angle, I pre-heat the blocks and welder set at 270 Amps, and I'm still struggling to keep enough heat in the cubes. Oh and i'm using a Lincoln Electric 375 Precision Tig, which has only 50 hertz.

[@ABKhan0486]

I am also welding with tig..... and let me tell you .you are the best 👌 💓. Because you talk less and explain alot. Others talk much but nothing to learn

[@NelsonBarbero]

Excelente video estimado! Gracias por compartir! Saludos cordiales de Argentina!

[@danielarney9729]

Does it matter if it's concave?

[@pacianohernandez3302]

Excelente trabajo como puedo conseguir esta máquina co el culer también

[@mahdikhaled8062]

Hello brother Can you advise me about how to set my miller syncrowave 350 lx machine to weld thin to thick aluminum and which tungsten is preferred ? Much appreciated 🫡.

[@_kline9571]

Great videos. Can you please talk about cup sizes and tungsten size type and Ball or not thanks

[@everlastgenerator]

It's been added to the list 👍

[@TinusVilakazi]

Can I ask that welder of ure's is using gas or cup plis help me

[@Innovation_Driver]

Great videos,

[@Procharged32]

Perfect welding neat video thanks.

[@everlastgenerator]

Thanks for watching

[@YAMANMEEP]

Were you guys using helium in this video?

[@2006sxr]

Thanks Mark! 👊🏼👊🏼

[@stefanczechorskidds5536]

Thank you Mark, I used your advice/techniques (with my 210 EXT and pulse) a bit differently, but they really made a difference: I'm practicing with 18 gauge AL coupons and specifically a lap joint. I was having trouble with the leading edge being very sensitive to melting back before I could fill that step / lap joint. So, I heard your comment on focusing the angle of the arc on the base metal AND I went to a #4 cup (with 1/16 W) to narrow the arc also per your advice. I was always using 1/16 W , but was using a #5 or 6 gas lens and cup. Those two changes really made a noticeable difference as I don't have to "shovel in" the filler. Thanks again Mark.

[@dwaynelejeune3508]

WOW clear as mud!!! Guess I need a full blown welding course and new machine cause my lil welder with spool gun has none of those options lol

[@everlastgenerator]

You need a little green on your garage!

[@sandiproom2372]

Mashin price sir

[@slowski7017]

What everlast tig model is that?

[@a.bakker64]

Slowski at 0:33 I think I see the Lightning 275 in the background. At 2:03 I’m sure it’s the Lightning MTS 275.

[@slowski7017]

A. Bakker, Thank you, I’m looking at getting the Lincoln squarewave 200 and wanted to do a comparison on price and specs.

[@everlastgenerator]

It's the new Lightning MTS 275. It's an ACDC TIG, MIG, Stick, Flux Core machine.

[@slowski7017]

I was looking at getting the Lincoln Squarewave tig 200 and wanted to do a comparison on price features etc... Thank you

[@BuckingFastard]

I love your videos and info.... but I swear, they’re setting you up with the aluminum videos.

[@jimciancio9005]

One of the most difficult part of welding aluminum for sure. Biggest mistake is not enough practice time with scrap metal. Last thing anyone wants to do is "practice" on a not easily obtainable part or something one off! So yes Sir thank you for pointing this important part out. Practice makes almost perfect LMAO!

[@littlewarlock9361]

Thank you for the information. How much rod do you feed at a dip, 1/4", 1/2", how much?

[@BowkerAero]

Check out around 40 seconds into the video, you can see the stamping on the side of the filler rod to use as sort of a gage to see how much he adds. From my experience and watching that clip, maybe 1/16" /shrug. good luck!

[@kazeone1000]

1/8”

[@ryanr8645]

omg great vid but i laughed for probs 5 mins at the beginning of this video

[@hondafreak8613]

He EVERLAST, How about tig welding aluminum to steel? In like a T joint. Is it possible? would you run on AC or DC and what filler metal?

[@craigdavis8145]

😂

[@patrickburdick9253]

I had a mechanical engineer ask me this one time! There is technically a way for them to stick together but I wouldn't trust it structurally.

[@o0Au5t1n0o]

JB weld

[@chrisdonner2910]

Simplest option would be to braze them or if your well resourced friction spin weld

[@dankelley1617]

Mark your expertise is above reproach however, the amp settings you are using in all of your videos are way above what the Lightning 275 Power Settings recommend. Please advise.

[@everlastgenerator]

What's set on the machine face is not necessarily what he is using on the foot pedal.

[@stefanczechorskidds5536]

I think the link above (everlast welders.com) is corrupted ; it takes you to a AHP welder site! Here is the one you want: www.everlastgenerators.com/

[@ralphwaters8905]

I still have issues trying to weld perforated .050" steel to 1/8" in the same T config as you showed. I must need LOTS more practice! Last weekend I punted and switch to silicon bronze filler... Life's not easy when you're a wuss...

[@hondafreak8613]

Was the hardest for me too. Try to keep the tungsten as close to the corner of the joint as possible with a small cup. And the torch angle is key. Drop filler right in front of torch angle. So the puddle doesn’t hit your tungsten. Thats how i got a decent bead on aluminum and steel.

[@krauselee877]

Copper heat sinks if you can and back stepping method. Nobody teaches back stepping anymore

[@a.bakker64]

First

[@johnjelinek-g7b]

Good work, thanks .
