TIG Welding 101: Aluminum TIG Restarts | Everlast Welders

[@Welddotcom]

Biggest problem with people going from steel to AL, hands down. Great demo Jesse 👍

[@pasipalo-oja4690]

Greetings from Finland :) So nice you guys started to produce these videos again. I used to weld with KEMPPI Tig for living and now I have Everlast Power tig 210EXT. Loving the machine and hope Everlast gets more subscribers here in youtube :) keep up the good work :)

Your the best at delivering your knowledge I’ve come across so far. You win the internet today!! 🤜🏼🤛🏼🇦🇺🍀🍀🍀😎

[@carramba86h77]

I'm more a stainless guy. So these tips for aluminum are very helpful. Thanks, awesome content and great "puddle" shots!

[@jessemccollum]

I didnt get to see the arc shots while filming, they are pretty incredible and shoe a lot more detail than I expected! Kind of pumped for the balance and frequency segments to come out so we can see whats going on in slomo!

[@KennyInVegas]

Nice video... thanks... LOVE my water cooled Everlast 256i! And when I call tech support the people their TRULY seem to care and have practical experience.

[@chrisperry7963]

Excellent demo, clear and concise. Thank you!

Hi Jesse, this is an awesome video, and very timely! I applied for a new job so need to brush up on my Alui welding!!! It is great to see the way to fix dips! Thanks again. Cheers Aaron

[@Goesinya69]

Thank you

[@bigblue1402]

Brilliant tips . Thanks

[@scottcarr3264]

I did both those dip things today,mostly on fillet welds, on 2mm thick plate.

[@hlyvang5707]

This was great! I recently started welding. And when I asked how to do this they didn’t know how to tell me!!

[@MMDayz]

Many Thanks! You are the best! Greetings from Ukraine!

[@arnoldkokonya]

Damn. You are one good teacher. I haven't finished stick welding but this already has given me a lot of foresight. I now know what to do when the time comes for me to do TIG welding. Thank you so much.

[@valefor666]

hey there Jesse !awesome video! I noticed you dont do the "Ball" in the tip of the tungsten.. and u weld this awesome.. how's that? can u explain me a bit? because others suggest the Ball tip. thank u greetings from Argentina!

[@jessemccollum]

With the inverter based welders you can adjust your frequency unlike transformer based machines. This allows you to keep a nice point for quite awhile with proper tungsten size for your needed amps. The tungsten will still ball up slightly, but not as much. Its best to use a 2% ceriated, 2% lanthanated, e3, or one of the newer blended electrodes. They are much more stable than pure.

[@extremelydeplorablebodean839]

#1 Buy yourself a water cooled TIG TORCH. especially if ya welding 3/8 or thicker! Save you time and headaches! Just my opinion as a life time welder.

[@jessemccollum]

For sure, I think the closer you get to 200 amps, the higher the need for a water cooler, especially to weld for any kind of duration

[@yeoldepirate783]

a video on propping torch grip and overall travel would be good!

[@OmarUnikel]

Hello dear Jesse, it is always a pleasure to learn from you. Question: Minute 02:30, How to do so that the rod does not "jump" towards the tungsten?

[@zoranrodic-tk8lu]

Sehr gut.Weiter so. Alles Gute.😀

[@gregmaggert8561]

Could be helpful if you put small evenly spaced lines on your filler rod to indicate how fast your feeding. Awesome videos.

[@thomaskallmyr]

Very Interesting

[@chucksgarage7165]

My Everlast has given me a lot of problems. I had to send it back to have it repaired. Luckily it was still under warranty. Cost a small fortune to ship it though. At least they paid to ship it back to me.

[@2024_rebranding]

Awesome video

[@stefanczechorskidds5536]

Great vids; thank you. I'm a EL 210EXT owner, how about some AC pulse (with settings).

[@everlastgenerator]

We'll add it to the list

[@kundankumar6957]

[@trothmetalcraft8144]

Hi Jesse - love your videos! I have a 205Si - do you (Everlast) have any model-specific videos for my unit? I'm not able to find much...

[@jessemccollum]

I personally do not have a video for the 205, yet. Hopefully we'll have another film session soon and we can get more into the specific models!

[@razelcalinao]

Can a tig ac convert aluminum oxide into aluminum? Im thinking if we can recycling aluminum using tig ac.

[@Ma_X64]

I'm using a side-cutters that fits by size. And then may be a carbide tool or abrasive.

[@pouletachille]

Hello Jesse, I see that you have sharpened the tungsten, What tungsten are you using in this video? are you in ac or dc?

[@jessemccollum]

I was using 1/8" 2% lanthanted tungsten, using AC.

[@pouletachille]

@@jessemccollum Thank you for your answer, it helps me understand TIG welding on aluminum.

In this video, what torch were you using ? What gauge metal ? What Amp / Frequency / Balance ?

Running a nova Roto head 20 series torch, this material was .090" thick, 100 amps and 120hz, 35% balance

[@milesmoore5422]

@@jessemccollum I just got an EverLast. I'm having some issue with my welds so this info helps. Do you prefer not to ball the tungsten tip ? Was that 1/8" or 3/32" filler rod ? 4043 or 5356 ? Thanks for responding.

[@jessemccollum]

@@milesmoore5422 I only ball my tungsten if I'm on a fresh grind and going to be running high amps..... Like above 200. For this video I was using 3/32 4043 I believe

If you guys saw how my boss welds up alum tanks you'll vomit. Cfh maxed out on a #7 cup no gas lense with negative tungsten stick out. Yes I said negative. It sits behind the rim of the cup. With pure tungsten which is rated 145 amps. He burns at 190🤦🏽‍♂️

Hi i am watching your video in pakistan

[@jacobjames1171]

2:24 if you react quick enough you can sling the hot aluminum off the tip the tungsten. Sometimes you can get back to welding, but at the least it will be an easier cleanup.
