I’ve been welding 30 years, and this kid could be the best TIG welder I’ve ever seen. I think he needs to up his video making, because truly, thi is the best welding I’ve seen on you tube. Barring the educational quality of Jody.

[@soundslikealot]

I'm welding the same ss304 exhaust systems for about 5 years already and was suprised to see almost the same settings , this is awesome! 😄👍 The only thing I'd like to add is when I weld this short type of pie cuts or just a V-band to a short piece of tube I usually just tack weld another 20-30cm of straight pipe to the opposite side of V-band just to save my silicone plug from burning when the last weld is right next to the end of the whole piece 😉 Greetings from Russia ✌️ BTW haven't you tried weld the same joints on the positioner? Many guys use some sort of U-type piece of metall to place the tube/bend and a regular clamp to hold it together and keep the thing dead vertically.

[@HouseofChop]

[@jacebigelow]

My man, Wow even the inside looks great !!! Great purge setup. I wish my TIG welder had pulse now. It's an older (2012) Everlast Powertig 185. I've been reading your posts on how pulse mode really helps autogenous welds "pull" together and produce a convex bead profile. (vs a sunken-in concave bead with minor undercut). Hats off to you, i just subscribed too 👍🇺🇸

Thank you! This is a lot of fun, mostly patience, & I think the results are a decent reward. You don’t need all the fancy stuff to do this, a y-valve, foil and a couple hose clamps can get anyone through just the same with just a little extra time.

[@n0xi0u]

My tig machine doesnt have pulse, wondering is this possible without pulse ? I know it will not look like its dabbed but look more like laywire welding. Or is there too much heat input without pulse?

[@cameronmcandrew9745]

Beautiful work as always.. Would this work on 14g stainless as well?

This technique and setting will work the same, just need to up the amperage or slightly slower travel speed with same amperage. Just be sure the penetration is punching through.

[@dongriffin8494]

Wow. Just , wow.

[@brianbowen295]

Hey Rush, I’m just starting out and your videos are so freaking good. I was wondering if this technique was attainable with a machine that only does 1pps? I tried using 1pps @85 amps and am getting the concave racks with the little dot in the middle. Using a size 14 cup and 35 cfh. The pulses are clean and silver, but all have the tiny dot hole in the middle. I’m dreaming of doing the exhaust on my LS swap using this technique. Love the videos man! Keep it up!

[@KANEKIDWELDS]

This will work at 1pps. A few things I recognize from your description that can help. With a size 14 I keep the flow around 22-24cfh & inside purge rate at 5-7cfh. The argon flowing inside the tubing insulates and cools the puddle and prevents overheating, if the flow rate is too high, it will blow the weld out or cause a shaky lightly sparky puddle (it absolutely does not hold the weld up like many are confused about) To eliminate the crater/pinhole between dimes - make sure not to advance too far between Dime overlaps. Just advance far enough that the edge of the next dime completely overlaps the center of the previous. If the weld is still concave & not raised, more tungsten push angle is needed (≈40° forward), or slightly less amps(74-78) Hope this helps🤘🏼

how long did this elbow take you to fit and weld if you don't mind me asking? I just welded my first carbon pie cut for a smoker i built for myself. I felt like I was trying to weld it too fast.

[@rhodehunter]

I like your gloves you wouldn't happen to have a link where I can get some

[@anotherbluenova6358]

Is this strong enough for exhaust?

[@mmhswelding]

Yeah, it is a full penatration weld. Using the base metal as the filler when possible, along with plenty of gas coverage will mean its just as strong as the original tube.

[@KANEKIDWELDS]

Yes! And thanks for jumping in with the response Jared!

[@ouelketken5076]

Jared Massic So why some other professionnal use filler on the same job as this ? I’m confuse haha

[@mmhswelding]

@@ouelketken5076 it would be based on fit up and preference. If you have poor pie cuts or gaps, you could not do this method. In the sanitary piping industry, this method is used exclusively.

[@ouelketken5076]

Jared Massic Ok thanks man ! I just tried this method 5 min ago it's 100 times easier my weld looks like kanekid haha I like better with filler more challenging !

I use CK LaYZr for both AC and DC with my OTC 2200. LaYZr is designed specifically for precise low amp starts and repeated arc ignition for Robotic GTAW applications, where one single sharpened electrode needs to run all day, or multiple days reliably. I figured if it’s good for robots, then that’s what I want to be using!

Thanks. Great elaboration with that backhand 👊🏼

[@KANEKIDWELDS]

Seriously though, will you provide a follow up? I’d like to be educated on your insight.

[@niusfro]

lol didnt mean nothin bad, just sayin that result is great with the fact that its just fused no filler no gap

[@KANEKIDWELDS]

Thanks for the compliments on aesthetics! You said in your honest opinion you wouldn’t trust it, then lol’d, so I’m curious to what insight you have pushing that opinion. I wrote notes into this video around the 2:35 mark explaining the details of this process, but I’ll expand more on it here. Nothing matches the parent material alloy of stainless steel better than the parent material itself, and that’s absolutely the only thing you see shown here. Utilizing a filler/dab technique, the filler alloy closest to the parent material being welded is chosen. During the welding process, an amperage high enough to melt and fully penetrate through to consume and fuse the root is chosen. As the puddle is formed and carried along the weld, the cold wire (uncharged ambient filler) is transferred manually into the puddle. Each time the filler is introduced, the puddle/weld zone is diluted with the new alloy, cools, and drops temperature. The dab technique is completely normal, wildly used, and simply a correct technique. The technique I have showcased, is ‘imitating’ the dab technique, but... my ‘non-existing’ filler alloy is actually the EXACT SAME as the parent alloy, since that’s ALL that I’m working with. These pulse parameters are set to imitate the temperature fluctuations by cold wire transfer Tig welding, so even the HAZ is nearly identical, depending on travel speeds. (*note* ‘Low and slow’ typically yields a much much larger area of granular elongation and increased temper along the weld, in all processes, due to more radiant heat input over a longer period of time) The fitment of each weld joint is perfectly square, completely flush, zero gaps, ridiculously clean, no bevels. This fitment & cleanliness is the only way this works & it saves time, money, and operator fatigue, making this an extremely useful and reliable process.

[@KANEKIDWELDS]

@The Most Illusive Man thanks for dropping your input. What I’m showing here is how to pulse-autogenous by using metallurgy and electromagnetic science to achieve structural passing and highly cosmetic thin wall stainless welds. The Root penetration I’ve show has 100% penetration without any suckback, meaning the inside face of the weld is literally Convex (not concave) and the outer face of the weld is Convex as well. If you happen to watch the video, you can actually see it.
