TIG welding aluminum can be difficult to learn, especially if you don't realize your mistakes. We're showing the 4 TIG welding mistakes that you didn't realize you make. When you TIG weld Aluminum, can you see the entire puddle? That might be a big mistake! When you're TIG welding do you have a large oxide cleaning line? Could be another Aluminum welding mistake! You know the basics of TIG welding Aluminum, now it's time to fine tune your welding technique.

I remember the first experience with a "bad bottle of gas" : The first few times I sat down to practice aluminum , all was going just fine. Then one Saturday morning I sat down for some AC practice and I could barely get the puddle to even form! I was really confused as I thought it was something I had done. I spent the next hour going over everything..... I then remembered that I have a extra 80cf bottle of 100% argon in the corner so that I won't run out on a weekend. I thought, what the heck , I'll try it and "wha-la" I was back in business. If it would have happened with a brand new bottle, you would probably realize it was the gas, but to have it happen mid way through a bottle was a real learning experience. Thanks for the refresher Mark.

I've heard of this before, but it does sound weird to have the gas composition change mid-bottle. I would sure like to hear a credible scientific explanation of how this is even possible. I understand that you can get bad gas from a leak in the plumbing, but I would think such a leak would have to be right at the torch head to suck in any air. Assuming you can solve this, you should be able to TIG weld silver amalgam repairs if only the patient would sit still... 😁

All week I was doing aluminum welding practice and now down to 400psi left in the bottle, then today after only welding for 5mins, all my welds turned to crap. I fitted a new tungsten, cup, cleaned the crap out of the aluminum , checked flow rates and weld still bad. After reading your comment I think there is something wrong with my argon?

@ralphwaters8905 4 жыл бұрын

@Dennis Young Yes, CO2 liquefies at 900 psi while argon remains a compressed gas. I can think of only one mechanism so far that could explain why the mix would change mid-bottle. If there were some *liquid* CO2 present in an argon cylinder, it would become an increasing percentage of the mix as the bottle is emptied. If there were an abrupt change in cylinder temperature (as from sunlight?) then the partial pressure of the CO2 would spike and abruptly become a greater portion of the gas drawn off. This seems like a stretch to me, but it's the only thing I can think of right now. I've used CO2 a lot for MIG welding steel, but always Argon for all TIG. It would be interesting to see someone try CO2 for TIG just to see how bad it is. I don't want to mess up my torch so I don't want to risk it. I'd like some else to do that. 😁 Maybe YOU?!!? 😆

OMG, THANK YOU!!! I'm new to TIG welding and I've been banging my head against the wall for weeks for a bad bottle of gas! I tried the last few days to find people who could show the problem I was having and 99.9% of the "before" pictures looked 100x better than mine, much less the after. I knew I had something else wrong. And your bad gas example looked EXACTLY like what I've been fighting. The local welding supply place took it and exchanged it, and it was an IMMEDIATE night and day difference! I feel like now I can actually start learning instead of wondering WTF I'm doing wrong. I mean, there'll be a lot of that too, but at least my equipment isn't the problem now

Never heard of "bad gas" before ....never ever experienced "bad gas" before. This is a "controlled industry". Deviating from "standards" is a felony. WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED? .
