TIG Welding a Custom Vertical Intercooler with HTP Invertig 221.
I got an order for a twin turbo car. This is the welding process I do on intercoolers.
I built this out of 5052 aluminum and welded it using 3/32" 5356 filler. I used 3/32" Lanthanated tungsten. my settings were 90 hz and 71% on the balance for the outside corners, and 200 hz for the fillets.

Another excellent video! Those HTP machines are a dream to own and run. Looking forward to that giveaway 🔥👍🏼🔥
Thanks Phil! I think so too! I'm stoked also now I gotta clean it up and make it look pretty
Unless you own a 201 and it has failed. $500 for a new high frequency board that has $50 of components.
You're an artist!
Thanks Tony! I really appreciate it bud!
Yo! Shout out to another Lefty! 🍺🍺🍺Great filming dude!
Been doing tis 26 years... And still love it. Stay welding my friend... You'll never stop learning or becoming better and better.
"Aluminum" always a challenge!
The sheet metal guy is great too.
Thank you. Beautiful work, I like the music and I appreciate your humble demeanor.
After watching pretty much every Aluminum Tig welding video on TH-cam, you win! Best welds I have seen to date!
Thank you! I really appreciate it
I'ma be honest, your channel is 100x better than 6061.com channel. Doesn't say anything, and if you wana know anything, he charges.
Keep up the great work man👍 I've learned alot from watchin and listening 👍
Haha thanks dude! Aaron's still the man though!
@@5thStreetFab lol yea he is, but f@#$ we need the secrets.
I'ma keep an eye out for that give away, even I have to make social media accounts 😅
@@Ryan_1997 sounds good dude! It'll just be something like follow and comment on HTPs Instagram and Facebook so make sure you're ready!

Thank you for sharing and taking the time to get this video posted. Really appreciate that you include the details for the weld in the description. Not that I can come close to your artistry, but it sure is nice to know where to start on the settings. Keep them coming.
No problem bud thanks for watching
Top notch work. thank you for sharing.
No problem and thanks
Nuts!!! I came across your channel just a few days ago. Inspirational stuff. Just makes me wanna go out and weld stuff. I'll keep practicing and trust that with experience and torch time, I'll be able to lay down some quality beads just like you!
Thanks dude! That's all it takes is practice!
Great video!!
nice work
As usual you do not disappoint. Wanching your videos inspires me to continue to get better with each project. Thanks.
Thanks for watching bud! It makes me want to make more videos for you!
If you make em we will watch em...😎
That’s that’s good freakin work! 👍🏾
Great video!! Great lookin welds for all to see!!!
Thanks bud 👊
Хорошая работа !!!!
УДАЧИ !!!!!
You are a badazz welder. Please keep these great informative videos coming.

You finally added a Pro Pulse 220 MTS to your line-up! Welcome to the club!
Ya! Finally fired it up today too!
Nice work brother.. I like that Frost line!
Thanks dude!

Thanks bud 👊
Awesome job!
Thanks bud
Some lucky people are gonna be getting an awesome looking intercooler very nice work
Thanks dude!
A god among welders.. great vid :)
Thanks bud but I'm just a welder!
I have no need for an intercooler.... none at all.... but this makes me want to build one.
Man you do your job cool !!! Your results inspire me. Thank you for doing the video. Hello from Ukraine from Kharkov !!!!! I hope Google translated the translation correctly
Thank you! And yes Google did a good job of translating!
Great work... never seen a triple outlet/inlet intercooler
I love watching your videos..! You are amazing! Love mom :)
I’m despondent at absolutely, positively and completely convinced that I will never weld a line as beautiful as any of those stacks of dimes......but I could dream in a more hopeful way if I was to get my earnest mitts on that obsolete HTP 💯!!!
Pick me! Pick me!!
It’s a joy to watch.....a real pleasure to see such craftsmanship. Keep on making those vids please ....!!
Thanks dude and stay tuned for the video on how to enter! Good luck!
You do really nice work buddy
Thank you!
excellent work as always! hope my aluminum welds look half as good as yours someday!
Thanks dude I'm sure they will
Nice work
Thanks dude
Wow, great camera work and final product. Any car guy (or woman) would love to open a shipping box and see that beautiful craftsmanship come out.
Thanks!
Clean ass welds bro.
Very nice
Thanks!
Excellent work. It's a wonder those boxes aren't fabbed with folds, to cut down on the welds.
Definitely! A good pan brake is the next thing I've been saving up for!
What are your thoughts on the "INVERTIG 301 AC/DC" for the same project? So for thin metal it seems that both would perform the same I suppose. The 350amps probably good for half inch thick aluminum maybe? Thanks.
Wow!!!
Top!!!!!
Any advice on how to acquire tig welding work?
Badass video man keep up the great work, what Camara do use to record ur self welding? Any special setting u use?
Thanks! I use a canon slr2 or something like that. Then I use an adjustable filter on my lens and use a low ISO and high f stop until I like the shot
B e a utiful mate
Thanks bud 👊
What do you use to prep the surface to rid of the aluminum oxide? I use a SS brush but it looks ugly and not "presentable"
topp curti
Where do you get 1800 parts to weld? I'd love to have some batch work like that to do
How do you like the htp vs your ahp. I'm having issues with my aluminum on my ahp
I'd luv to get my hands on that machine
Make sure you have an Instagram and Facebook book account atleast just for the giveaway!
@@5thStreetFab no Instagram but I have Facebook
@@trailerpark187 just get real quick just for this
I prefer no music (but great video anyway )
Love your welding
Haha thanks! Last video had no music and a bunch of people said they couldn't watch it without! Haha everyone has there preferences
Круто! Какой Вольфрам используешь?
What made you go with an HTP over lets say a Miller or something?
Hi my friend I send you an email like a week ago with some questions about the settings of my invertig 221
Gauge of Metal ? Grade ? Settings ?
where do you get your hand slider bro? i could really use that
weldmonger online store. they're called tig fingers! work amazing!
You have decent exposure on your video. If you want tighter arc shots. Try a macro lens. With a macro lens the tungsten would fill more of the screen and you could see the puddle. You got the exposure nailed and with a macro lens you would be making money shots. Also did you know Space X is hiring TIG welders to work on the new space ships? Elon Musk does not care if you went to school. He cares about results. You got real talent👍
Thank you! I want a macro but I need to save up they're pretty expensive! I've tried applying for spacex but they want local welders and I'm no where near any of their locations! Oh well
@@5thStreetFab Damn, that's too bad about Space X. It would be a big deal to relocate. have they seen your work? Elon Musk might make an exception for you. If you buy a macro lens. Make sure you understand working distance before you buy. You are going to want a lens that is macro and has a long working distance. If not your lens will melt from the heat. Also if you are using a hood for a shade. Try buying a 15 stop Neutral Density filter. Break Trough Photography makes really good ND filters that do not have any color cast.
@@radishfever Ya I think they get enough applicants that they're not worried about missing out. And yes I can't find a macro with a high enough f stop. Especially anything under a grand! And yes I use an ND filter. My sister in law is a photographer so she has a ton of knowledge on all the camera stuff for me! Thanks bud 👊
@@5thStreetFab No problem. Yeah, no cheap way out unfortunately. Lots of camera gear I desire and can't afford. It can actually be a more expensive hobby than welding. Thanks for sharing the knowledge you have. Bottom line is you are going to make it know matter where you work.
@@radishfever thank you! And yes lenses are not cheap!
Novice welder here. What’s the secret to shiny weld beads? My beads look decent but not very shiny at all
Dude, what kind of shop/company had you do 1800 small ally parts, and HOW did you land that??! Seems ideal and gravy good $ 😎 cheers bro
It was a guy on instagram and Im buddies with and lives close by that needed help fast! haha it was just luck!
Been burning a lot of tunsten up but i can't get any where up to your speed 😨
Did you ever do the giveaway for the PP200? Please say no. I'm highly interested in the sweepstakes. :)
I don't know how you can do those long runs in one go. I'd have to do them in at least 3 shots.
Look forward to the giveaway.
I was wondering the same thing so trying to watch. Hard to see cause the speed up, but he is feeding it with micro movements on his thumb. @ 6:17
Thanks! I just never liked how restarts looked so I worked a lot on doing long runs
Impressive.
Are you going to be pressure testing this before it goes on a car? If so, do you just plan on submerging it in water and pressurizing it?
Yes I pressure tested it. I cap off all but one and add a guage and pressurise the tank then let it sit for 30 minutes and use soapy water to check
Another perfect looking job, well done. I wish I could weld alluminium that well, mine have nearly no "dime" pattern, probably too hot. My outside corners aren't too bad but my fillet welds always look too smooth.
Thanks bud! Ya sometimes even just slowing down will help!
3rd 👍
Sweet video!
Thanks dude I appreciate it 👊
Just amazing work ... Every time I go to watch one of Your videos, I have to eat some cereal with bananas ... why ... because Your work is so cool it makes me puke ... and bananas taste the same coming up as they do going down.
Haha that's the best compliment I've heard!
Hahahaha!
Any chance we can know your settings? Please.
Definitely! I put them in the description. Let me know if you need any more
Why do people keep using 5356 in intercooler/piping fabrication? It's prone to cracking in this environment, especially on the hot side where compressor outlet temps can reach +300°f depending upon turbo efficiency.
I thought the same thing. All my buddies that build them use 5356. I was tempted to use 4943 but didn't know if I had enough. Next one will be 4943. At work we build a lot of piping like high pressure water lines and muffler systems for boats. We use 5356 because of the corrosion resistance but never had them crack out even on the exhaust systems. So I'm not that worried.
@@5thStreetFab I don't know anything about the marine environment. However, in a automotive one, it's not just the heat. It's the combination of multiple heating/cooling and pressure cycles just from driving normal to aggressive, back to normal in a short period of time. It's that constant thermal cycling and flexing that's the issue.
I've seen cracking issues more so on high boost 4 cylinder engine vs v6/v8 as they usually don't need to run such high pressure ratios.
You do great work. I'm not knocking it. I've just always wondered why I see people using 5356 is this application. What's worst is someone on TH-cam built an oil cooler using 5653. To me that's asking for trouble.
Well, after watching the video to the end .... AND reading the description ....
Now i know for sure it was 5356
2:02 see the green flame every time you dip rod into the puddle ? That is 5000 series ( most likely 5356 ) with high magnesium content for you....
I would have picked something with less than 3% magnesium for that intercooler, seeing it gets a lot of heat 150F+ and a fair share of vibration.... and “hot cracking” may or may not be an issue .....
Now wait and see how much youtube hate i get for this comment .....
Lol
Excellent craftsmanship though !!!!!
Half way through the video it looks like 4000 series wire ( either 4043 or 4943 ) i couldn’t see any green in those arcs ....
It will probably be just fine.
I thought the same thing Peter! But everyone I talked to that builds them uses 5356 so I decided what the heck! But I was super close to running 4943
5th Street Fab if you would want color anodize it then you would have to use 5356 .....
Not everything will crack all the time !
But you do see some temperature swings and constant vibration .....
And just because “everyone does it” ..... lol
I talk to a lot of guy on a regular basis :” i have been doing this for 30 years !!!” And i say : “ sorry sir to be the guy who has to tell you - but you have been doing it wrong for 50 years “ ...... lol
You're right I should have gone with my gut! Next one I'll use 4943
👌👌✌🇲🇽

А как выглядит шов внутри не показал!!!
What is the background music?
Just random free TH-cam music
Awesome work Sir. you make me want to get out to the shop and burn, but it's 12:18 pm and me wife would have my butt. thank you for sharing.
Haha I get the same urges!
1800 lol
Haha ya kept me busy for a while!
2 down votes must be hurting with jealousy. Let's take a moment of silence for all those suffering after watching this video.
