@@ThisOldTony & AvE love both your channels, ass kissing over with :-) I'm in need of some help/advise I'm over in Ireland and have found metal work and welding as a hobby a great stress relief( when it goes to plan) I started welding with a ac stick and got a cheep inverter dc stick and of course tig caught my attention, bought a scratch start set up, thing is ive a wp 17 tourch 1.6 (1/16) red tungsten 6 cup, can only strick an arc if tourch is in the positive plug other wise it burns away my tip maybe half inch at a time. My welder is 80 to 200 amp Ac Brooklyn (Chinese made) rip off of Jefferson brand by the look colour (color in imperial) :-) and shape can the flow or polarity be checked with a multimeter I've a mastech my64(??)

[@brh4015]

High frequency pulsing like 200Hz gives acoustic response to the arc length/angle. This actually helped me in not drifting into steeper and steeper angles as the weld progresses.

[@amanofmanyparts9120]

Here's a blast from the past: Many years ago I owned a stick welding grip meant for use with a standard 12 volt car battery. Obviously it had no control over current output other than the voltage drop as you used it more. But to help in maintaining a near constant (pulsed) arc, it had a tiny solenoid in the head that would pull the welding rod back a fraction of an inch every time an arc was struck, and then let it go forwards again when the arc was lost. On car body panels it was surprisingly effective - as long as you kept the battery voltage constant. I wish I knew what happened to it even though I now own stick, mig, tig, oxy/ace and propane welding equipment. (What can I say? I'm a tool hoarder!)

[@rofel91]

i used to run pulse with a shallow angle of attack combined with laywire on thin wall stainless pipe, It gets me full penetration without undercutting the material or getting a concave weld bead and minimal overheating. my settings and a full purge usually gives me a full penetration weld that is close to flat on the inside of the pipe. for 2.0mm wall stainless: 1.0 or 1.6mm filler, 50-65 amps, 25-40% ontime with 2-3 pulses per second, shallow angle of attack to your weld puddle gets a bit of an teardrop shape. fine tune settings for your machine and your weld speed.

[@saartal4524]

Nothing makes me happier than knowing that This Old Tony has a pulse. There were some dark times last year when he did not have a pulse, but he miraculously recovered and now has an entirely different pulse. I don't have a pulse, so I guess that means that next week I will be voting; trust me, there are thousands of us without a pulse who do so. Thanks for the lessons and videos.

I weld a lot of stainless at work and we use pulse on everything we weld. We do almost exclusively stainless and it's parts that are really sensitive to heat. I've noticed the pulse also seems to help build a higher bead. It doesn't want to melt in as much so it humps up more.

Pulse TIG works really well with sanitary tubular fitting welds. I have used it several times to make stills and oil-tanks and have been able to get gas-tight welds without sugaring and no corrosion. For working on "Tuna-Towers" on boats or a the top of a distillation tower. It is a must have as I haven't figured out how to run a peddle while hanging on the rigging.

Always! Wear ear plugs when welding upside down. When welding MIG. Always use ear plugs when when you’re on a bench. Your ear is designed like a funnel on purpose for acoustic pressure impedance matching. Unfortunately it’s also very good for slag channeling.

[@tobystewart4403]

Tot, maybe you could try making a high throughput diffusion pump? It has no moving parts, and is the only real barrier to a DIY spluttering rig. PVD is just focused TIG pollution, controlled in a vacuum so the vapour from the process ends up on a target. If the ultra high vacuum pump can be made cheaply, the whole process of coating metals becomes open to the home shop. You already have a pulsed power supply and argon gas. With an electro polishing wand (cheap) and your mill, making vacuum chambers would be easy.
