Cleaning the metal prior to tig welding is still a fundamental that a lot of people skip.
Hot rolled carbon steel can have a very thick layer of mill scale that needs to be completely removed and not just polished over.
Heavily oxidized aluminum also needs to be cleaning using an abrasive that is designed for aluminum with light pressure so as not to smear oxides.

During this hard times, I mean, I'm not getting bombed or anything, but fellow apes are... This is all a welder needs, seeing a puddle of molten metal, being manipulated by another fellow welder, to perfection, It is so satisfying to see you weld man. Thx :)

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.

I don't think I would even know titanium if I held it in my hand and it wasn't marked.

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.

@dr.fidelius2905 6 ай бұрын

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?

Hey Jody, can you please do a video on tig welding brass using brass filler rods?

@soundslikealot 6 ай бұрын

I weld intake aluminum pipes for 30+psi of boost the same way - just moving the torch up a little bit every time I add filler. Helps a lot! 🤙 #5 cup works great! As for the titanium... for the exhaust Ti pipe even Fupa12 isn't enough, I use #20 monster style cup.

Jody, love all your videos. Would you happen to have a recommendation for welding, steel rule, die material, it’s .028” thick, pre-hardened tool steel of some type. I have been tig welding it but with mixed results. Any tip’s would be appreciated.

@dr.fidelius2905 6 ай бұрын

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.

i recently bought a tig welder (vulcan tig 205 from harbour frieght), how do i find out if these tig kits will work with my torch, and if thats even an option, im very new to tig and have no idea if the consumables are interchangeable at all.

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 6 ай 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.

@davidoliver2826 6 ай бұрын

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 6 ай 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 6 ай 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.
