    Long grind all the way. Penetration is more sufficient and the welds come out cleaner and slicker looking all the time. As long as ur dip is consistent and fills enough can’t go wrong

    Great info! i definitely need to work on TIG a lot more!!! I am sure my son will be much better than me in just a few weeks with y'all's help! He has been up there since the beginning of September, and he loves it!!

    Sun of a gun, I always wondered what the difference was in the two types of grind. I’m going to try this out in class. I want a slick ole video like the ones y’all got in this demonstration. Thanks guys!

    Red tungsten can also be used for aluminum although I do prefer either a pink or blue for aluminum personally

      The only thing I would add to this is don't be the guy that goes up to the shop bench grinder and puts a big Groove in it when he's sharpening his tungsten or a drill bit.

    Interesting......on grinds. I learned quite a bit from the vid. I do a lot of thin stainless tig weld repair that the robot welders mess up with burn holes and chattering and skips in the welds at work.
    I make stainless exhaust systems at work ( for a couple of the big car companys) and that's what I deal with on Tig.
    I usually sharpen my tips at a 40deg angle when making weld repairs, I may need to try a short grind to see if it makes repairs any easier.
    All we use are red tips at work.

    Great video! Btw... The red tungsten has become banned in Belgium (and many other countries) because there is "thorium oxide" in the tungsten. And that is radio active! Is thorium still in the red tungsten in America or did they manage to take it out?

    • @robertbenedict5648
      @robertbenedict5648 ปีที่แล้ว

      I can still go to the welding supply store and buy thoriated tungsten, it welds really good, but thorium oxide is probably not good for me

    • @heyman5525
      @heyman5525 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, in America, red tungsten is known as 2% thoriated tungsten. The radioactivity of thorium is only dangerous in large amounts. You would need a large bundle of thoriated tungsten before it would need to be labeled with a radioactive sign or warning.

    • @heyman5525
      @heyman5525 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Also, the danger of thorium tungsten is when you make dust from grinding it and breathing it. Otherwise it's not considered dangerous to handle.

      Grind or Weld stainless too hot and the chrome dust turns Into the radioactive chrome^6 isotope due to heavy oxidation from the air!
      Check with a geiger counter once grinding, it increases alot in radiactivity

    Did alot of Tig earlier in my welding career. I retired in 2016. Novel approach to rolling the diffuser cup like that. Most of my tig welds were 1/4 wide. Also I didn't notice I always did my sharpening of Tungsten on a belt sander,my tank tester showed me that way and thats gospel. And always long polished that Tungsten. I wonder if my bifocal vision would let me tig again? Any ideas? Good luck grads,Stick with that training. Welding is a No shortcut career,but its a honest one!

    I’m still new to Tig about 110hrs experience and just this video alone learned a lot I was holding my tungsten sideways smh but now I kno the proper way as well idk how to walk the cup so I’ve been aiming at a 15-20 degree angle from center top is that to tight or should I lower alot more ?
