TIG Welding Stainless Tube

[@johnshaft5613]

Whenever I think my TIG welding is starting to come together, I watch these videos and realize, nope...I still suck....LOL. Nearly everything I have learned however, that wasn't from hard-knock disasters....was from watching this channel. Jody is the man!

[@yellowveedub]

I totally agree with you man

Dear viewers. Tig welding .065 stainless tubing for my sailboat railing, Davits and hard top. I found purging made my welds less grey and more silver with some pink and blues. I’m running 60 amps 3/32 tung, #10 cup and 1/8 filler. I got some .045 wire and #12 cup on the way. I got 6 grand in materials and tools into this project with the roller , bender , welder, buffing supplies, and tubing. Got it all bent and mocked up, Now it’s showtime haha. Thanks for the videos! Still trying to conceive how Jody can tig .065 at 100 amps. Master Jody.

[@peterbuilttough3406]

See a lot of guys on KZbin that are pretty good at tig. But you sir are an expert. Great vids helped me learn to weld stainless when I just about to give up.

[@dannyboy1794]

Best teacher on you tube, thanks for another great video.

[@jagjeetpalsingh6637]

Nice 👌

[@JimbosGarage]

Good stuff Jody! Thanks for the shout out with the torch lead holder! F.Y.I. The red one is for a stick lead, The blue is generally used for your Tig torch. Jimbo!

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

couldn't find the correct one in my messy shop. time for a cleaning day. red one worked fine tho.

[@aintright3889]

I started stick welding 45 years ago, then learned MIG that was an easy transition but my TIG welding SUCKS. I don't think everyone learning to TIG is cut out for this. But Jodi must TIG weld in his sleep to, because his results look flawless. Kudos to you for devoting your time in an effort to teach us dummies to learn TIG.:)

[@corbandallas8644]

KZbin shouldn’t even have an option for idiots to choose “unlike” the information is free for God’s sake. Do you see that little “v” at the top left corner, hit that instead of “unlike”. Those individuals are upset that they can’t use an app to lay beads. Thanks for all the hours it takes to figure out your lighting for the videos, the hours of recording, the hours of editing, then literally giving all of it to us for free. Keep up the amazing work. Stay up!

Thank you Jody. Would love a T-Shirt that says: “What would Jody do?” A question most of us ask when something isn’t welding right. Thank you.

[@jeffgrier8488]

Thanks Jody, there's always a bunch of great info in your videos.

[@jcnpresser]

I just got me an ahp 201, I’m so lost with what accessories to get, it comes with a 17 rotoflex torch with a 9 head as well. I’d like to get some of the glass or larger cups but not for sure what I need. I don’t want to buy unnecessary parts for it , cause that money can go to filler and coupons. It’d be awesome if you could do a video just on torch parts, you know, you need this for that, if you have this then you don’t need that type of deal. Love your videos!

[@davcot3675]

ALWAYS enjoy ur vids. Particularly the SS ones. One tip we use at work We use 95/5 argon /hydrogen on the torch. Straight Argon on ID purge This helps greatly for penetration on fusion welds on Sanitary:hygienic welds especially when u may have high sulphur content

[@tapioca7115]

10:17 & onward is a valuable lesson. What i have the most difficulty with is getting a puddle started and managing to turn the heat down quick enough & get moving without sugaring the backside. It's also hard to get a nice "wet" puddle with stainless steel . The puddle tends to ball up / solidify if I back off on the heat too much. Sticky filler ain't fun ! This one is a re-watcher. Thank you :)

[@dondifx3454]

it's a pretty amazing video pal. Could you make a video welding 6G TIG stainless stell since de root pass in 6 o' clock position til the 12 o' clock. If you could show us the keyhole techinique it will be awesome man. Thanks you for all job for supporting the welder worldwide

[@jtoker9758]

Which one of these TIG cups would be the safest to use for vaporizing weed in your bong?

[@MrUberZombie]

as always, thanks for the instruction Jody. Master at work.

[@cwoodside907]

Just as an FYI: I noticed your tungsten point is very short and stubby. When running DC, you are able to weld thicker steel at a lower amperage & have finer control of the arc and puddle if you shape your tungsten point a little longer. Maybe 5/8" to 3/4" back and then down to a fine point. An aerospace weldor showed me that and I've been sold ever since.

[@michaelkramer5659]

Hey Jody! Another fan of yours... I'm just starting to TIG weld. Food grade stainless is most likely where I'll start, welding on triclamps to pots for a brewery I'm making. As a newbie welder, I'm still unsure of the type of TIG welder that you would recommend. Which one would you start with?

[@SteadArcFab_Ministries]

Thanks Jody for another great video! Nice camera angles and shots! Content and quality is always top notch on your channel. I can’t wait to get a tig machine! Be blessed my friend!!!!

[@jerefab]

Hi Jody, my company has a product that requires a t pipe joint just like here. The difference is that the weld is required to be full penetration ( full 3mm wall thickness) due to corrosion and fatigue reasons. If you still have this pipe, could you make a video showing the fit up and weld to get full penetration with this pipe? Our supplier seems to be struggling with this.

[@michaelcostello6991]

If you were modifying an existing air line (rerouting a section) would you bother trying to back purge if its a long run of stainless pipe ?

[@dhorn7500]

Awesome tips and tricks Jodi!. I’m digging the tig finger and the rest of the merch that I received. By the way your customer service is top notch thank you. Do you have recommendations on respirator PPE?

[@brunophil22]

[@kylenorton15]

Metallurgical questions surrounding stainless. Did some socket welds for some refrigeration piping a while back. Used 309L-16 SMAW for 304 pipe to carbon steel/low alloy valves and couplings. All 304 to 304 done with 308L-16. I had to weld on some threaded 316 nipples as well and I couldn’t really decide which rod to go with so I used 308L-16. Metallurgically what should I usefor SMAW/GTAW welding 304 to 316 stainless? Appreciate any feedback Jody!

[@kylenorton15]

Another thing I forgot to add. This was for ammonia refrigeration piping. Is stainless pipe the best bet as far as corrosion resistance or will it deplete certain alloys in stainless?

[@ralphwaters8905]

I was hoping for some tips on shielding the back side where it's not easy to purge, as in SS tanks and mufflers. I've had some success with Solar Flux in exhaust systems, and have taped aluminum foil to create a pocket where I had access, but was looking for a few more ideas from The Master.

Did u use the same tig finger during the video and do use the same tig finger on other videos.I seen Burt spots. How does the finger last

[@JoseFlores-iw8mf]

Hey sir can you do a video with a water cooled torch

[@peterbuilttough3406]

What do you think about solar flux? if you're on a job site fixing a failed stainless rail. Where purging not feasible. Would it hold up to the test of time?

New to tig here, is there a reason why you're not purging this, since it is stainless?

I just wanted to ask...I use the # 8 clear furick cup set up and it’s great but I do a lot of thin gauge sheet metal repair...do you have a adapter set up for a #17 torch using a 1/16 electrode?

[@geonerd]

No internal purge with inert gas? Won't you get the dreaded 'sugar' and other contaminate issues on the inner wall? Or are these so thick that the weld won't penetrate all the way into the material?

[@kylewilliamson6228]

How much cfh Do you said the back purge to to keep good coverage

[@thebeardedstork432]

Is there an easy way to clean up the discoloration on stainless?

[@team8th]

Whats the tungsten and filler rod size being used in the video? Secondly i dont have a pedal, using a on off hand switch, i tried at 50amps and it creates holes. If i lower down the amp, it takes time for the puddle and it creates a lot of heat. Any advise?

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Very interesting, thanks for sharing with us.

[@michaelcostello6991]

I thought the rule of thumb was 1A/thou so why do you back off to 90 thou when you get the weld pool started as the tube thickness is 120 thou. ? What do you recommend for Amps. Is it because you are moving a bit slow that you reduce the Amps etc etc Please explain. Thanks Mike

[@jameswagner3685]

You say that you set the gas at about 20 at the regulator. I did that and checked the gas flow. My flow is 20 at the regulator and about 14 at the torch. So, which is correct? Should I be 20 at the torch?

Hello, I am a welder, too. and also had a channel to teach welding videos in Taiwan. I want to ask you What's the camera lens you chose to make videos? (because the strong light may damage CCD) I love your videos very much.

I manufacture stainless steel hinges. Im trying to make welding head butt hinge but sadly Can’t launch because I’m stuck at welding. Can you recommend what’s the best solution to make welding head butt hinge?

[@tommylud4324]

“Sugaring”... so we saw on the plate that you got sugaring. Also..on the inside of the pipe there wasn’t any sugaring. I assume because of the amperage used. What about on the inside of the other pipe where we might’ve seen some heat affected area? Might there have been some sugaring in there?

Anybody have tips for filling gaps up to 3/16 on stainless? I've been welding for 7 years but tig welding for 2 months, I dont have any issues with a good fit but I'm having trouble filling gaps and that's happening everyday now due to bad machining of parts and what not. So far haven't seen any helpful videos, any tips would be greatly appreciated!

To control warpage stainless is the only steel you can hit w water and yes most people dont know this and freak when you try and tell them. I weld big tank vessels that hold water,etc., and was taught years ago this trick. Scientists years ago at a seminar was teaching this and thats how i learned from a contractor. Now not sure about anything other than 316ss,etc. Again alot of people might freak w me saying this but its been proven and i do it daily and man does it help...

How do you keep your tungsten so clean and sharp,after only a minute or two my tungsten looks a little black/discolored and not quite as sharp as when I started

[@jaredc5789]

My guess would be whatever you're grinding your tungsten with 😋 I've heard the diamond coated wheels are the best but I just use a regular grinding wheel on a bench grinder. I make sure to only grind tungsten with it. Also I've noticed it helps to break off a bit of tungsten to get a fresh part before you regrind it because sometimes if you stick your tungsten whatever you're welding will stick to your tungsten and if you try to grind it off it will contaminate your grinding wheel.

[@tweake7175]

to many amps for the electrode size, or type. not enough argon flow or not enough post flow.

[@MrShockotaco]

What's the benefit of filler rod tacks vs fuse tacks on thin material? Those fitups seem to be tight enough where you could just zap it real quick and save a little time.

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

MrShockotaco definitely could have fused them. Sometimes fused tacks pop under load tho. For example on a large handrail section that you need to flip over
