Hey Dusty, thank you for all of the great content. I would like to see how you would approach the same situation that a customer challenged me with. I welded some ⅛" aluminum brackets to ⅛" plate. The challenge was that each one had a single flare groove on one side. I respect your work and would love to see how you would weld that out.

Curious why your online program focuses on aluminum? Just getting start tig welding myself and have been practicing primarily on carbon steel. Is aluminum a better place to start perhaps?

The tips and philosophy shown in this video is invaluable for anyone who has hit a roadblock in their progress. "The machine does exactly what you tell it to do". Sounds simple, right? Sometimes 'simple' is the hardest thing to understand when you're struggling or frustrated. Go back to basics, and practice. Prep, settings, patience , and if something isn't working, stop and figure out what it is.

Thanks for making the transition to mild steel. The majority of what I do is in mild steel or chromoly and this has been helpful. Thank you.

@philthyphil3324 Жыл бұрын

This is exactly what I needed. I found that I am using not enough amperage, leading to me moving too slow to get the puddle to form, and not enough filler rod, causing excessive heat input.

The new TIG welder I got a couple of days ago is DC only, as most of my projects involve mild steel, so I am over the moon you covered this. I have been practicing the basics of firing up a spot and running a bead without filler today, and man it is hard, as there are so many variables involved. Your channel has really helped me understand these variables and I hope I can someday produce some 'Stacked Dimes' like you. Thanks for your teaching (from an English teacher) 🙏

Keep at it. I bought my first tig welder combo cheapo unit from Amazon about 6 months ago. Then about 3 months ago bought the primeweld tig 225 acdc machine so I could also get into aluminum and have been practicing any chance I get. These videos have helped me learn soooo much and it didn't take long before I started to see positive results. Have people asking me to do alot of welding work for them already. Every little bit helps. I've already found the limitations of my equipment and have started upgrading.

@nickberry8182 Жыл бұрын

please do more of these mild steel videos. im beginning, and im sure like a lot of guys, i don't have 220 access so that limits the machine i can run, which limits the material i can work on. all your videos are super informative but i am unable to apply any of it because i dont have the ability to weld aluminum, but i can weld mild steel all day, its much more accessable. anyways thanks for the videos man!

When I first began TIG welding, everyone told me how difficult aluminum was to weld....... BALONEY!! I truly believe that mild steel is more difficult than both aluminum and stainless; to do well and make it look right.

@rniejx4219 Жыл бұрын

100% agree. Aluminum welds like butter when you are setup right. Stainless is easy to do if you have gas coverage. Mild steel is tough, especially repair work that has been welded before.

Really glad you touched on tig welding mild steel .. good to hear that it's not just me and that it is tricky to weld with ... they are not as pretty as your stainless welds.. as a hobbyist who is building a hot rod I'll mainly weld in mild steel .. frame .. body .. etc .. then some stainless for exhaust.. love your the info on your channel has helped me a bunch .. keep it up .. cheers !!

I work in a factory setting doing production welding of fuel tanks, and all we work with is mild steel. A lot of what I do is repairing holes and fixing bad welds from the robots, which is just mostly fusion welding, sometimes I have to grind out and reweld areas. So I'd like to see more tips on mild steel if you can please.

I started [and am still very new to] tig welding with mild steel because it was cheaper and a little easier to get... I had no idea it was a trickier metal to deal with and thought I was doing everything horribly wrong lol this helps put my mind at ease that at least I was working proper technique and they weren't half bad after all (though there kinda far from half good lol)

Thank you for showing off mild steel, I'm currently taking a 2g Fillet weld on 1/4" by 3/16" Tee joint for a weld cert at my current job, Stacking and filling with enough filler rod + properly penetrating has been a bit fickle. I already passed the same test on stainless steel but carbon is giving me more trouble, would love a video on it thanks.

I find most of the welding projects I do end up being mills steel so your coverage here is very welcome.

Most of what i'm working on is mild steel, so thank you i've been following you for a while and this one has helped alot, cheers! I'm still struggling with the concept of amps etc heat etc. I just have a DC, Push/ hold a botton and go, no control of the ramp up and down process, there is one dile to set the amps (period) i seem to have mine much lower than most videos i watch, just don't understand that process, working on a budget so can't afford a better tig machine, so any light you can shead on this would be appreciated, Thanks in advance.

Glad to see you doing some mild steel. Every welder I’ve spoken to when asking about difficulty of welding has said it goes aluminum is then hardest, then stainless and mild steel is the easiest. I wonder if you think that it’s more finicky bc it’s the hardest to get that perfect weld look.

@ryanadams5186 7 ай бұрын

I think it just has to do with the process being used. For me personally with TIG welding, stainless is the easiest, then aluminum, then mild steel. That’s just me personally.

Everyone talks about the heat affected zone and never explain why it is bad. Besides 300 stainless steel permanently rusting from too much heat, thin metal warping and discoloration, what are the other issues and why is it bad for the finished job? I know in your example you showed the heat affected zone on a plate so people can see how far it spreads but does that hurt the steel plate? I have heated steel so I could bend it quite a few times and never had an issue and that was cherry red. I hope you can once and for all clarify this.
