Good video, in high school in welding classes we learned gas welding before we could move on to arc mig and Tig. You're right being able to control the puddle is so very important.
Keep going with it man i started welding in high school and its taken me along way. Glad i could help and thanks for supporting weld.com and connecting with us
Little suggestion regarding the filming: film though a vizor so that we can see the puddle instead of a bright blinding spot. Lot of other welding channels do that.
@@enigma9789 He was using an automatic helmet. It turns dark when a bright light appears and when you finish welding, the helmet back to normal and you can see through it
What tungsten did you use? i repair stainless auto trim from time to time, old stuff, from the 20's up into the 70's, fill old screw holes, tears, make and install new sections, sometimes it welds like a dream, next time grrrr, i finished welding school in 1980, i'm still welding every day, now mostly on auto restorations, but i build gates, railings, trailers, buildings, i have a portable, mig, tig, stick, plasma, MS, aluminum, stainless, i have not done pulsed mig yet, always something to learn.
Very good video this time. One thing, zoom in on the finished weld so we can see what it looks like up close. The picture of the finished weld is too far away and it goes away quickly.
Your weld angle when you did fusion welds looked correct at 15 degrees, but when you added filler wire it looked to be much greater than 45 degrees. Was that just the camera angle? If it was the true angle, that would certainly contribute to sugar (oxidized metal) by not giving you full protection from your shielding gas.
@@SuperformanceFab probably like a sixteenth. 1/4 is a huge gap and will increase the heat input for the same amp setting because the machine will have to put out more voltage to cross the gap.
Yeah, most weld vids you can see the gap. This one has a lot of lenses flare and you can't see what's actually going on. Better than any weld video I EVER made...
Hey Jeff, some good info and some that I think missed the mark, like did you use full pedal or half or three quarters ??? also noticed that you didn't run the welds near the edges is this because you didn't want to burn/melt the corners ?? I tig and mig weld s/s from 1/16th up to 3/8th and always found that the end of the weld will always be way hotter than the beginning and can/will burn the s/s at the end. That being said I still learned at least one thing from your video. As for making mistakes as long as you learn from the mistake and try not to repeat it you will definitely learn and become better. Cheers
Hey brother, I appreciate what you want us to learn. I have a couple of questions: 1. What kind of welding machine did you use in this video? 2. Can I weld stainless steel without the wire? 3. Can I do that with any TIG welding machine? 4. Do I need a special TIG gun for that? 5. I have an ESAB 162i TIG/Arc welding machine. it says I can weld stainless steel, can you check about it? 6. What Gas do I need to use? sorry if I'm bothering you about these questions. I'm a beginner in this world of welding 😅😰😎
I get it welders like to say "fusion" and there's a lot of fusion(consuming the surrounding material) in the equipment in my industry. But in finished welds it's cutting a corner. It's very practical for tacking and perhaps some lap joining but inside/outside corners and butt welds it is mostly bad practice.
For no burn through I understood we should not go up to the edge. Stop welding 1 inch before. This means we need to accommodate the length of the material one inch bigger for both sides than expected. After welding it seem we need to cut these non-welded edges. Am I correct?
@@RiseSteadyNC Sorry for misunderstanding my comment caused because I am not a native English speaking guy. I tried to meant what I have seen in your demo. You did not went to the end. I speculated so. Now thanks to your reply I learnt what had to be done to protect edges get burned. Thank you very much!
I'd like to see more videos on how to setup for beginners that don't have 3000$ tables and special tools. Coupons are too easy. Take some thin stainless square tube make a odd shape that doesn't sit flat or hold by itself. At least 60 inch high so you have to get up from your chair. No help. lol
I am sorry for being that person - but there is no way Olight Swivel has 90h runtime at maximum output. Their box says it has max 90h but in energy-saving low mode (12 lumens vs 400 lumens).
I do have a question, it may sound silly but is serious on my end-- Should I wear oxy goggles in the process of watching the video, due to the brightness of the TIG arc?
Yeah, you’re fine… it’s actually the fact that your screen isn’t capable of emitting UV and IR radiation that keeps you safe. You could use a cell phone as a welding mask of sorts to view welding IRL, but it might burn up your phone camera. Not sure.
These other guys are giving you dangerous advice. That torch is easily bright enough to give you arc flash through the screen you're watching on. You should wear at least a shade 5 to watch this, maybe even a different channel that can get proper arc shots.
I am very disappointed of the arc shots. Also from a didactic perspective starting with difficult things is not a good way to learn something. You will become disappointed and lose your motivation. Start with easy things and move to more challenging task as you get better. And don't start with stainless steel. You are wasiting money for practice material. Mild steel is much cheaper.
Sugar is a bubbly blackness that forms when oxygen touches really any molten stainless but even the backside of the weld. Sharing is how stainless gets porosity. It usually looks black and bubbly. Yeah, they could have explained or even demonstrated it. Due to how heat won't spread in stainless the back of the plate will be hotter. For this reason, welding stainless generally takes less heat than carbon steel. There are plenty of videos about backpurging the inside of stainless pipe so that the inside won't have porous suffering where germs will grow.
Sugar is when oxygen touches molten chromium. It becomes chromium oxide. It is really unfavourable in any application where high quality weld is expected( pharma, petrochemical, food industry).
Thanks for this! I just got a few SS rods to make a replacement grill grate. Now I feel up to tackling the project.
Awesome man glad it gives you confidence to try new things. Thanks for supporting weld.com and connecting with us
@@SuperformanceFab more argon, less amperage,
Maybe even only weld 3 inches and let the piece cool. Stainless warps easy.

Yesterday me and my buddies ran 435 amps through an 1/16" rod and it just disintegrated

He says it's only 45 amps. Arc may not be bright enough to trigger the lens
@@vr6swp How does his helmet work I wonder?????
@@enigma9789 He was using an automatic helmet.

While I appreciate the informative video, I couldn't see the puddle nor the arc gap. Just a bright spot that you're talking about.
Great Job Jeff, Cheers....
Thanks paul
Good Advice Jeff get the hard stuff out the way first. And the use of the back blocks is a good idea thanks for that one mate. :)
I watch more now. Thanks for sharing.
Dude you are awesome. Like your style. I am going to learn tig this winter when I’m shut in.
How’re you doing with TIG these days? I’m starting to learn right now, over the winter, while I’m shut in. 😂👍
@@Mr_Eyeholes dude I got busy with other stuff. Took a weld test tig welding a couple days ago. Gotta do it this winter
What size of wire did you use on T joint
I used the E3 3/32” tungsten
Very good
oh my heavens Paul......looking spooky there....
You forgot to mention tungsten stick out. looked quite long.
with that cup what was the flow setting and post flow ?
Video starts at 1:30

Glad it was helpful!
Does your tip on the metal or is like a 1/4 away
Its within 1/4” of the material tighter arcs create better arc control. Thanks for supporting weld.com and connecting with us

If you watch the video again, those questions will be answered. Not being a dick but you missed what he was doing.
What is sugar?
what about AC or DC and DC positive
which setting for tig welding stainless steel?
thanks

No ive never heard of that, you might want to stop and let it cool down before you weld out the ends if you feel like its hot enough to burn through.

Selling out now? Ads? No way. First Paul vanished, then Mancub and now ads?.I'm gone.
Biginners do not have HF start, Pulse , Foot control , Fancy nozzle and all the fancy stuff you do.
What CFH are using
With that cup? A hojillion. Hahaha
Personally I think you need to talk about the setup. If you don't get this right, you'll never achieve good SS welds.
I do have a question, it may sound silly but is serious on my end--
Should I wear oxy goggles in the process of watching the video, due to the brightness of the TIG arc?
😆you are fine ,
The screen you are watching the video can not get as bright as the actual tig arc hhhahahahaahaaha
@@BruceLee-xp5fc cool, I was wondering👍

Zoom into the welds
beginner begin on cheap welder , no HF , no pulse , no foot control , , no gas control .. that your $5000 equipment has
Why are my stainless steel welds grey 💀
Thenk four your taime
Кому ты это всё показываешь??? Сидя за столом,в тепличных условиях...Учителя ёпта...
You didn't say what kind of tungsten size, pressure gas on flow meter You need more teaching experience
Please don't try to sell me shitty garbage at the beginning of these videos if you want me to watch any of them

Sugar is black crystaly stuff that occurs on the back side from lack of shielding gas coverage its called oxidation.
Sugar is when oxygen touches molten chromium. It becomes chromium oxide. It is really unfavourable in any application where high quality weld is expected( pharma, petrochemical, food industry).
@@SuperformanceFab Sugar is typically white, no? I know Turbinado is brown/tan. Why are the homies not calling it black ice?
