Tig Welding Stainless Steel Shafts

[@sunnyrooprai3731]

dude, im a machinist. And aspiring welder. I cannot stand quietly as i see you do these repairs for whatever machine shop you do work for. AS a machinist, these repairs you're doing, like the broken tap removal, or gap filling on the aluminum, are very handy things to know. But my man, what machine shop can't extract a tap. lol. I love your videos, and behalf of all competent machinists, i apologize for this shop you're dealing with who expect you to do these random fixes, but at the same time, i thank you, for posting these vids just in case i screw up and i need a welder to add material to a part that i myself screw up. lol

[@ethantroy311]

Sunny Rooprai lol I’m went to welding school and became a semi-trailer mechanic and now I currently work at a machine shop as a mill operator/welder aspiring to be a machinist. I operated a manual lathe at school to bevel my pipe and always had an interest in Machining.

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

The part was resting on 2 V blocks and only one end was machined. Not a precision setup but there was no way to get it perfect other than chuck it up in a lathe and that seemed like too much work since it only needed to be close enough to final machine another .020" or so off ..and it worked.

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

I would setup the same as for aluminum as far as machine settings , gas flow , etc. and use az101 filler rod. get a coarse carbide burr that wont load up with mag for burring out fractured surface to clean bright metal. a preheat of around 200f should help too. keep a very very tight arc, and run small short beads and let cool while you clean the soot from each pass...good luck

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

good question. I thought about using a positioner as well as a cold wire feeder. I just figured I would keep it simple so I could check runout quicker

[@coldroses_band]

hahha idk how many times ive started to light up and reached for my helmet and realized its not even on me head...love your videos

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

I try to wait several minutes between passes on stainless. Otherwise the welds get oxidized and gray/black. I kept going in the same direction but alternated starts and stops. It might have helped to alternate direction. In the end , the final machining turned out fine.

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

I used 3/32" (2.4mm) and 1/8" (3.2mm) er308L . Also some 1/16" (1.6mm) for touch ups here and there

[@michaelrodriguez-fb8fr]

great video! i love walking the cup,it just feels good. great that you are youtube to show the younger guys how its done!

[@kg2nc]

Man every time I watch your videos I can smell that argon. Its only when I start watching the video.

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

on stainless, speed cooling might introduce stresses, but wont harden the metal. carbon steel is different and can harden.

[@Maghau6]

I wish I could have some hours welding with you, like those students had. I think I would learn ALOT!! You are an amazing welder, and thank you alot for your videos. they have helped me along the way. I'm done working where I was before, but when I get a apprentice place I will look back over them and learn some more :)

[@krazziee2000]

Jody , you make this look too easy, not so much for me here.. thanks for the videos and the Tig Finger, videos and Tee shirt, great deal, thanks again.

[@JesseWright68]

Jody, this is without a doubt one of the most useful videos you have made! Thanks!

[@billdlv]

Nice work showing the dial while you where welding to show it shrink back. When you were dry washing, how much heat where you putting into the shaft? Were you actually running a puddle over what you had already done? At least that is what comes to my mind when you say dry wash. I've done that to try and make my welds look better...

[@searchmont1]

you are the tig master and tried to buy your stuff but my credit card was maxed out but in 2 monthes I will try again

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

you are right, i meant 300 series stainless wont harden.

[@bikefarmbikes]

As always wonderful welding, you are truly talented. I'd say shoot the turner but we all had to learn at some point and he is keeping you busy!

[@Elite69Halo]

Awesome video, do you ever do any hobby welding like art work or garden stuff?

[@krazziee2000]

thanks for your hard work showing us how to do these things,

[@StevesProjects]

Good stuff Jody, very interesting to see the amount of shrinkage you can get. Cheers.

[@SBBlacksmith]

Awesome trick with the torch straightening. Thank you. Out of curiosity, how come you didn't you a welding positioner?

[@joelyboyblue]

dudes BUY THE DVD after learning from Jody you will be a pro. Jody is the best freekin welder on youtube

[@KD0IDB]

Thank you so much for taking all the time to make these videos! They're so helpful!

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

yes he was having a very bad day. he had over a hundred of these parts to run with a tight deadline.

[@Yannique1]

Hi Jody, great video again, I never saw the compressed air method up till now. I also received the TIG-fingers, they are great thanks! One question, what's the diameter of the wire you are using to build up welds like that? (in mm?) Thanks, have a good one!

[@TheWreckingYard]

I noticed that you air cooled the weld when you were straightening the shaft, does fast cooling the weld introduce any hardness? I ask because alot of guys when MIG welding auto panels cool the weld with a wet rag, I was always told to let it cool naturally or you harden the weld and make it brittle. Curious what you think

[@diederrr]

Jody how long did you wait to cool for the shaft ends (not middle) a minute or so? Or did you just run passes back to back. And I thought alternating direction would have been important on something like this. Thanks bought some tig fingers !

[@thebrokenbone]

haha done the shield/hood thing but flashed so badly had to take a 10 min break to see again... the guys in the shop are still laughing... a question about walking the cup, it seems the angle of the torch is rather steep i mean to me looks way more than 10 deg or so, if i`m correct in what i see (a miracle) how do you get away not balling the filler? thanks for the vids jody, i learn a lot in every video

[@joseluisriveraestrada1881]

Es un soldador muy profesional! El sistema es avanzado,no para aprendices!pero muy bueno!

[@davinci1nut]

Hi jody Corey here all the way from NZ unrelated have a magnesium engine cover to repair I weld alloy very well but have no experience with mag. Any tips eg filler wire type gas flow cleaning products tungsten depth shielding cup etc looks like ill have to build the part that is missing up do you wait a time after each pass? Your advise would be appreciated ( and yes I have flip a face shield once or twice myself just shows how comfortable you become wearing head gear

[@doubleboost]

Sorting out that bent shaft was very good

[@ericballard9201]

jody really use your video when I get a little slack on my tig welding need some help with stainless 6g test pipe getting my root pass in nice and the cap can you please help love tig welding but sometimes struggle sometimes think im trying to hard

[@CraigDrury92]

The arc shots you get, is this with the camera you use or is the image the same through your welding screen?

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

just enough heat to make a puddle that followed me as I weaved a bit...about 60 amps

[@mattmoon4393]

I thinkbiv watched all of your videos and they have all been helpful

[@cid4887]

may i clarify sir, you do the trueing by welding some parts. my question is at the last part, you taken off the welded part, won't it spring back to since you taken those out and seems the welded part had been way outside the circumference so you seemed taken of all of that. thank you.

[@ze_german2921]

the videos you're selling, do they show how to walk the cup on the outside diameter of pipe for putting a cap on it?

[@hamidu8]

I love Tig thanks guys for loading this videos

[@frustratedbaboon6486]

I have done it too. Alone in the basement and there was no body and that makes it worst.

[@qklmike]

I'm a pipeliner and I did learn how to tig but if you don't use it ya loose it haha but can you downhill weld?

[@evanlanginais]

hey can u make a video of welding aluminum welding rods on sheet metal the only ones i could find where 1/8 rods. and im probably a dumb ass for this but im trying to weld sheet metal with them thats probly 1/16 to 3/64 thick. No matter how fast i went it didnt work.even tack spot tack spot didnt just big holes n its for my dune buggy build

[@AdamKyleAnderson]

Love your helmet fail, been there to many times.

[@FollowerofYahuwah]

I've struck an arc and realized wrong hood the hard way

[@paulspisak8591]

Have you ever sheared 316 stainless and used it for filler wire

[@motel29]

Man that was Great!! Awesome technique and very informative. Thx for posting~

[@jcarlosherrerac]

where I can buy a torch or body shown. I appreciate your attention and response.

[@Hobbywelder617]

Been there done that lol, flipped it down and began mig welding, then realized it.

[@Souduremtl]

Very wise ! As awlays.. with Mr Jody the welding master ! ;) thanx sir

[@sk8tolivvv]

I've done the welding helmet fail a few times just with having safety glasses on my head lol

[@Takuan66]

Great repair tips Thanks

[@glencoad737]

Check out Keith Fenner, he has some fantastic videos on heat straitening shafting, really cool stuff. Great videos been trying to catch up on all them.

[@nswsparky]

oh yea I have done that, even struck an arc was chasing eye floaties for a while.

[@Pork38583]

I used a tig machine to straighten a insert drill last week LOL

[@TheRealFrankWizza]

Well a lot of stainless alloys can be heat treated. They are used in knives, and probably other stuff. They just aren't weldable, or at least shouldn't be welded.

[@robbynelson3]

What a freakin awesome idea for a youtube channel!

[@atishghante8897]

Super your all videos

[@chrispa7454]

TRES TRES BONNE VIDEOS, MERCI BEAUCOUP

[@ChrisWojnarski]

You the man Jody 👊🏻

[@aaronsteele9408]

What size of gas lens do u use and what size of tungsten?

[@richiejr5714]

if i had a dollar for every time i mistaked my face shield for my welding hood, i'd be a rich man

[@mrt4755]

+Richie Jr i once spent 5 mins looking for my helmet only to realize that i was wearing it =p

[@g125150sean]

Thank you for your movie ^^ Thank you for your welding technology ^^ My English is not good >< ~ I technological progress, because you

[@weldermike7017]

Great video bud!

[@joons3374]

Very usefull video.

[@MrSaemichlaus]

2:00 haha, that happened to me already. But a fellow got it worse: watched it up close and triggered with absolutely no helmet on :D Had a few seconds of blindness, the poor ...

[@hoodlum306]

I've had nothing on my head and flipped my head down before haha

[@TheKaffeeKlatsch]

Great tips.

[@MangoBastard]

I've put my grinding shield down and flashed myself starting a tie in and been like shucks…give me a min teach sum thin in my eye. so embarrassing haha

[@OldePhart]

Why did it shrink more than it was originally?

[@stranga4365]

i love your videos but ive bought the tig fingers and was not impressed. spark plug boot works about the same.

[@-MSF-]

Great job. You are bless by God.

[@davidcraft4909]

lol, I have lit up wearing a face shield thinking it was my welding hood. I only done it like twice and I think I know better at the moment.

[@johnsmilitantbelch]

Ha, I do that often. With the faceshield.

[@Pawski89]

What amper do you use to weld stainless steel?

[@Pawski89]

Jim Freeman and pole (+) on the electrode? I have a problem with welding stainless steel. The material does not melt as black steel. Direct current? What I do something wrong?

[@dominickcarbonara5494]

Paweł Nowak stainless dc neg for the torch

[@CoolasIce2]

I think Bubba got a job at the machine shop.

[@Mrjoelaguirre]

I love Tricks

[@Mrjoelaguirre]

Thanks!..Chris Simpson

[@hypnolobster]

Man, that machinist was having a really bad day.

[@jake30268]

thank you, awsome tips, fuck the one person that thumbs down the vid, gonna buy ur vids u r the shit man!!!!!

[@joseluisriveraestrada1881]

excelent work!

[@Nate0p0tat0]

I have flipped my hood down...without it even being on my head!

[@kokobedima]

Awesome!

[@cidcampeador1952]

BRAVO ! ! ! ! !

[@dominickcarbonara5494]

yep been down that road lol

[@xxjolerhxx]

what's even worse when you are tacking up something and you go to flick your shield down..... bam there no shield. especially when its in front of your boss.

[@frankiea8531]

damn good one i never learn from this wish lol

[@JoKe1960]

nice !!!!!!!

[@dougspair]

Did everyone in the shop laugh at you?

[@ImagesandWords]

nice

[@Yannique1]

Ok, thanks, i've tried it with 1.6mm and it was hard :(

[@BiggAndyy]

Kool

[@tyusintatukimiru4420]

いいねー

[@scottleisher6977]

The dreaded sugar....

[@ericlevesque3655]

ya...just when I thought it was a welding helmet. surprise!

[@lamtartarus]

they dont teach you this in school folks.

[@rob16268]

LoL... bin a while but I'm sure...

[@summerjetset]

FAIL lol, I've done that before
