I've been welding over 45 years and watching your videos I feel I need to start all over. Of course, every job and workplace is different and not that many require precision perfect welds. 90% of the metals I weld are anything but clean, especially aluminum. Once in a while I get to weld stuff that is actually well prepped, I hardly know how to respond. Someday I'll have to try and get some of those fancy gas diffusers you have, just to see what I've been missing.

12:20 That #8 was always my favorite for stainless; inside corners the stick can come out a bit further, and outside corners you can bring it in. Also, a piece of aluminum angle behind that pass would improve all 3 of those welds. I just love your videos. You always have good information about CFH and amps that other channels neglect.

Hi Jody, I just got a HTP221 a month ago at their reduced price. I was puzzled to see that there was a feature to independently set amperage for EN and EP when doing aluminum. Seemed to me to duplicate balance butI ran across an old comment by Zank on your forum to try setting EP amps HIGHER and compensate by an 85-90 bias to EN. Did you ever try this? If so, what did you think?

Ok Jody I just heard you say that you should break off the tip if you dip it. I have asked the question before and that is the first time I heard it answered. So is there ever a time that I can just re grind the tip or do we always break off the bad spot? Thank you fr your insight!
@devynselnes4282 Жыл бұрын
Depends on how much gunk you have on the tip. As long a you grind off the whole snowman you should be fine
@weldingtipsandtricks Жыл бұрын
personally if I barely dip and there is only a slight bit of aluminum on the tip, I just grind it back to a nice tip. but when there is a snot rocker on the tip, its not worth the time...I just cut it off or break it depending on the type of tungsten. Some tungsten spits easily and needs to be cut or scored first.

Hi Jody, Re “Zank’s Krazee Idea”. I just got a new HTP221 “on sale”; didn’t know what to do with unequal amperage (EN/EP) for Al. Have you tried the amperage boost of EP over EN, compensated by skewed balance favoring EN? Supposed to be just the ticket for thin Al.

Thanks Jody, I'm going to experiment with other cups when my general skill is improved. As I'm afraid to draw wrong conclusions about my welds. May I ask what is a good filler rod for welding 4140 parts together, would that be ER80S-D2 or something else?
@weldingtipsandtricks Жыл бұрын
filler rod for 4140 really depends on several factors. 4140 is often used for fixtures more for dimensional stability than strength in which case regular ER70S2 rod works fine. ER80SS-D2 would be a closer match if strength was the main consideration.

Hello. Can anyone please help?! English is not my primary language but I will do my best to explain what my problem is. Today I received the tig welding machine I order. Its called stahlwerk 200 ac dc pulse pro. I plugged everything as it should be plugged in order to try it on a thin sheet of aluminum. I set the machine to the follwoing parameters: preflow 1s, hot start 50-60 (cant remember exactly), start current 30, upslope 2s, peak current 45, downslope 1-2s, end current 30, post flow 2s, ac balance 30%, ac frequency 90 and clean current i think i set it to 30 (I am not sure what this is to be honest. comparing it to other machines, this is something unique to the machine I have. Same with the hot start parameter). When I started working on the aluminum sheet it worked perfectly, I even managed to create some dimes with the filler rod. the puddle was formed well and there was no dirt in the weld. However, I felt that it was melting too fast and I am still a beginner, so I decided to turn the peak current down to 40 instead of 45. Since I did this the machine stopped working as it should. One of 3 things happens: 1 - there is no arc: there is only some electric bolt between the tungsten and the aluminum sheet. When this happens, the machine behaves like this for a very short time after which it enters the pre flow state although I still press the button on the torch. 2 - There is an arc but it is very chaotic, there are interruptions and after a while point 1 happens again 3 - I tried to turn the peak current up by a lot (70-90) and somehow an arc appears and it stays constant but of course the aluminum sheet is very thin so it melts and the tungsten starts to melt as well. I tried changing all the parameters, like the hot start, i even switched to pulse mode but the same 3 things happen. I tried it on DC mode on a metal rod and it seemed to me that it was working quite fine. At one point I had the impression that it is behaving like there was no ground. I put the ground clamp directly on the aluminum sheet but the same thing happens. Please, if you have any idea, let me know if I am doing something wrong or if there is a defect in the machine.

I watched alot of your videos to get through welding school. We didn't have any exotic metal to practice on. I did Stainless pipe once because I just happen to find a scrap piece. But even that wasn't as hard as they make it sound. I guess I just have a nack for Tig, compared to stick. Tig just seems like the spoiled 1. Because there's no sparks to get burned by and it's quite.
