  • AC Balance is a very tricky topic to discuss. Most people have no idea where to start because none of it makes an sense. Luckily, Justin the Fabricator has an clear view of exactly what happens with the arc and machine during DCEN, DCEP, AC, and AC Balance cycles in this #TIGSimple series!

    Music. Because we have to, and it's the right thing to do at the end of the day. I mean, people worked hard to put out this music just the same as we work extremely hard to put out good videos. What if you worked for 40 hours in one week only to give your coworker the credit and your pay? Not right! am I right? So here are the two groups out of 3 groups that we used in this video that wish to be recognized. Did you really read the description this far? Drop a comment below with the made up word "foxtrication" if you did. People may think you're weird, but I'll understand. Trust me, I got your back. Nobody will know what the hell it means unless they read the description like you did, but I will. Thanks for reading the description in full.

    I have to say that this has to be the best TIG teaching resource I have ever come across. Absolutely no timewasting, gets straight to the point. The verbal instruction is professionally synchronised with very clear footage and graphics and presented at just the right pace to hold your attention. And he clearly knows what he's talking about. Justin, you are a credit to your industry.

  • @tonybush2
    @tonybush2 6 лет назад +118

    that is probably the clearest explanation and graffics of what is happening I have seen. Thanks for the informative videos

    • @supakat500
      @supakat500 6 лет назад

      Tony Bush Agree...plus he was using Ahp 200x Tig showing connections. One of the biggest issues I have is the work and how pure the aluminum is. Now understanding balance better, I should be able to get better results when welding two diff grades.

    • @TheFabricatorSeries
      @TheFabricatorSeries  6 лет назад +4

      supakat500 I have the AHP specific vid coming up soon. I've been lurking around groups and forums trying to find info about what people are struggling with on that machine.

    "A ball of snot in a sousing casing." I knew it would be a bad to put a chocolate marshmallow in my gob!
    A phenomenally well explained video, even I understood it! The graphics were amazing and really got what you were saying across. I would come to one of your classes but my doctor banned me from flying about 8 years ago and it takes a long time to sail from the U.K.
    Fantastic video, thank you.

  • @rockdog2584
    @rockdog2584 5 лет назад +2

    Very Well done Justin. As Tony B. said, the graphics painted a very clear picture of what's going on. Even my college welding instructors didn't get it through my thick skull that nicely. Kudos, my friend.

  • @rsanchez9192
    @rsanchez9192 6 лет назад +3

    Very impressive, this guy is spot on. Even Tig Time’s “Mr. Tig” makes mistakes gets polarity wrong constantly. This shows how much time this guy has in the classroom. It just rolls off the tongue very quickly and 100% correct! Very nice. Nice illustrations.

    I can’t stop watching your videos! They’re so good! I know how to mig and stick and I’ve seen a million videos on ALL processes but now it counts. We bought a TIG machine to do some easy “sh*t” welds that nobody will see but I want them to be right. THANK YOU!!

  • @brianbender7438
    @brianbender7438 5 лет назад +1

    Extremely well done. I’ve been welding with all kinds of machines for close to 50 years and this video was a nice “tune up’ for my brain cells. He knows his stuff.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! Visuals with words are so much easier for me to understand. And yes current flows negative to positive, at least that is how I was taught it 35 years ago in the Navy.
    Need to get out there for one of your classes, picked up a 255EXT a few weeks back and would love to learn from a pro how to fully utilize it.
    Keep up the great videos!

  • @garymanser9723
    @garymanser9723 6 лет назад +3

    This is a very good explanation. The only thing that could be added is why electrons travel from negative to positive. The answer as you probably already know is that electrons are a negatively charged particle and therefore attracted to the positive side (I.e. the side with fewer electrons). I leave it the you to decide if this will helps or hinders the explanation.
    Regards, Gary.

  • @tomuchfunwithgas846
    @tomuchfunwithgas846 6 лет назад

    That was KISS and it was PERFECT. Thank you. I've seen big blue and big red explain this subject and neither was as clear, particularly the last segment about how your machine displays balance.

    • @TheFabricatorSeries
      @TheFabricatorSeries  6 лет назад

      To much fun with gas I've never really understood why Miller doesn't have solid info on the subject when they're the ones who created AC balance control. Still not sure why it's on the negative side either, but I heard a cool story a while back about it being a goof that stuck.

  • @wheelspinner20

    Love that balance explanation. When I was getting used to playing with it I did some cast valve covers that I could not get why it looked like hot garbage. Figured bad cast... turns out I was playing with balance the wrong way at 90/10. Once I got back to 70/30 it went like butter. Great visuals, I'll share it with my learning tog buds.

The manual made what you said in this video confusing as heck. Maybe I need to send you an email about setting up my pulse on this fantastic machine. Stoked about the Free LIVE training class coming up soon.

  • @joewest1972
    @joewest1972 6 лет назад +2

    By far the best explanation of AC welding of aluminum. Anyone who ticked on the thumbs down must have done so by accident, because you're not going to find anything better than this, cause it doesn't get better than this. Two questions, if I may. What camera setup do you use to shoot your welding? And... What program did you use to illustrate?

    • @joandar1
      @joandar1 5 лет назад

      Agreed Joe West, there is no misinformation in this video. I is clear concise and well presented for ALL to understand. I am new to this AC TIG/GTAW and this will help me with my next effort at welding Aluminium as we call this same material here.
      Cheers from John, Australia.
      PS: For any that choose to correct the word look up what it is called in other countries and tell them they are wrong too. I am kind of over all the griping about a material that we all know what it is, that is all.
