    Thanks for the post flow tip. I was welding aluminum with PoF set to the machine default of 2 seconds. My tungsten was always a dull black, and often times the start of the weld would be dirty. Changed the PoF to 6 seconds. The tungsten is shiny and the start of the bead is clean. Many thanks.

    1977 I learned how to weld with an AC/DC machine. It had a lever for AC setting or DC setting. Had a lever for High range or Low range. A wheel dial to set amps. The decal for amps faded and rubbed off. Turn the wheel to that should do it. Strike arc on practice piece turn wheel up or down to that might be right! Strike arc on practice piece awww that’s it! I welded by the seat of my pants,,,,,,,feel,,,,,,,sound,,,,,,,sight. I’m 67 and think back on the “O.J.T.” Listening to the old timers,,,,,,,watching the old timers then go to the welding table and try to imitate what the old timers were doing! Thanks to all the old timers who took time to show me the right and wrong of various types of welding!

      I will try this. My shop is letting me practice TIG when the flux core work is done. Nobody around to guide me so I am toying my way through learning. I practice filets on 1/4 carbon steel. I knew it was too low tonight at 120a. Will try 250a next time.
      I was able to do a pretty nice lap joint on stainless (for the handle of my hanging Skyjack toolbox) with 110a. It was about 1/8” thick

    • @highlyalloyed9296
      @highlyalloyed9296 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@1979Spica I'd be willing to bet 250 is too high at full pedal but as he said it's a good place to start and work from. Just remember welding is about balance, keeping travel speed, filler diameter, amperage, etc all in balance. Higher amps will often require higher travel speed, and at some point larger filler to match the puddle size created from all that amperage. Experience will help you refine the amp per thou guideline and you'll just memorize ranges per thickness after enough arc time

    Your cleaning or balance settings will greatly affect your current settings with AC welding.
    With the cleaning set high positive, your electrode will glow much more and melt the tip much easier. I heard him talk about this as I was typing. I typically run 30%.

    @mrarcman1414 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You are a very talented Tig welder! You mentioned balance control should be around around 80 neg & 20 pos. Which is fine, but you can only achieve that using an inverter. With conventional transformer types you will be limited from 68 to possibly 72 with different brands. Most will me 68 percent neg max on the balance. The tungsten will not stay sharp. You can not adjust frequency on transformer power sources ,so you loose arc focus. And third, with some inverters you have a amplitude setting also called offset to focus every move energy farther to the pos or neg side of the arc. Which also can improve tungsten life and keep the tungsten sharp when welding thicker aluminum.

    Now, is there any way to ensure the tungsten electrode don't touch the weldpool, or the filler rod for that matter, apart from skillful control, or to some extend, by using a "walk the cup" method to basically wriggle the ceremic gas nozzle so it, "walk along" at an angle and pace to suit the job.? 🙄

    I would also add another item for a source of contamination. This would be that all the components on the torch are properly tightened. I recently had a problem when welding aluminum where I could not get a decent bead. I check my torch and the collet and screen had become loose. I tightened them up and the problem was solved.

    80/20 is a bit extreme. Is that that you normally use? General recommendation is 70/30. I usually use that. Sometimes 75/25, but that’s rare unless I’m using a lot of current on thick aluminum where a smaller amount of cleaning is still a lot of power. I’ve done 60/40 for thinner material with low current.

The same with low amperage. A lot of welders talk about "saturating" but don't really explain it very well. A tutorial on this would be nice.

      Also never forget along with amperage, Tungsten arc length and Time all effect the heat effected zone. So even if you have the amperage set right & the arc length good if you dwell in one spot to long you will still dump to much heat. Also what helps is the size of the filler rod, if you're welding 1/16" stock and using 1/8" filler rod you will over heat the weld. I have the same issue.

    Welding is now a science... TH-cam welders and coded welders are 2 different animals. No doubt. Although TH-cam information is somewhat correct, most of the times they are not xray or ut welders. They are very focused on theory as if welding proficiency can be achieved by information instead of welding hours of high scrutiny subjected welds.

      In the old days you ran a pure AC sine wave, usually 50/50 balance, and a pure tungsten (green) electrode. In that case you ball up the end of the electrode. Now using "square wave" with balance control and a bunch of new electrode types you can sharpen the electrode to a point for aluminum.

    I'm an old skool welder. Not a lot of tig welding. More mig and cracker box welding. Working in a big shop with lots of guys. All the settings are changed on the welders all the time. Mostly by guys who have no idea what they are doing in the 1st place. They can't weld to begin with. So they twist on every knob hoping to make magic happen. So I never change the settings unless I just absolutely have to. I've learned to adapt to how it's set and move on. So settings is not something I'm good at. That's why I might ask what settings you use. Regardless of the machine. It would give me a starting point. This might give you the idea I'm not a very good welder. But, I can weld a bulls ass if you can hold him still. LOL

    The most important thing is to be able to see the weld properly, what I mean by that is, the right brightness in the helmet, extra glass with if it doesn't help with glasses. Then it is important to always keep the same width of the weld, look at the melt, keep the same width and drip in filler wire at an even speed, eg 1 2 3, 1 2 3, 1 2 3, etc..

    I just got a inverter Tig welder and while practicing the torch arc will sometimes strobe (turns off and on rapidly) other times it give a continuous arc from the torch. Can you tell me what is causing the strobing of the arc and how to eliminate it.

    19200 Amps for 3/16 material (from the amperage chart at 1:38) is a bit much unless you are trying to vaporize it or travelling very very fast.

      the chart doesn't mean anything. i could crank my Lincoln 450 to the max , my brain controlling everything. the foot pedal my travel speed is a skill. it depend on people.

      @@bjireton Late to the party, but I think you missed the point in your rush to boast. No matter how good your foot pedal control is you're gonna struggle not to melt both you and the piece you're working at 19k amps. You'll need 43 of your Lincolns connected in parallel to reach that level.

    Miller econo tig has no ac balance adjustment, how necessary can it be? What's do machines like this have it set at?

      jody at welding tips and tricks done a video on a machine that didn't have ac balance but i forget which machine and he said it had a little to much cleaning for new clean material and it left a large area of cleaning around the weld.. personally I wouldn't touch a machine that didn't have an adjustable ac balance because it has to much cleaning for new clean material and probably not enough cleaning for the old crap i normally weld and it'd be near completely useless for welding cast, plus if you had something that was really pushing the limits in thickness you wouldn't be able to clean the hell out of it and set more ac negative to get the most heat possible.. having no ac balance adjustment is really limiting what you can do
