As a teacher, the fun part is telling students to butt weld the coupons back together. Keep up these good videos, they're great, and your attitude build confidence.
As a professional welder, thank you for your videos and I appreciate your statement in the beginning about different tests. I work for a ship yard where our tests are on 3/8 plate, grooved butt in 2G, 3G, and 4G X-ray. Absolutely no defects are aloud.
It's the sodium hydroxide in the easy off that does the etching. Tip, lightly heat part before etching and the cross section will be more defined. Keep up the good work !
Thanks Dusty for showing the penetration and going into detail. I know you've said before you can have the best looking weld, and not have any penetration. But thanks for explaining 🤙
Great way to practice with the materials, and then know you will get a really good weld, before you do it for real on something you need to keep. Nice.
Happy Thanksgiving Bro. Hope you had a good one. Great video, Penetration is the most important thing, Keeps your parts from falling apart. Just because the weld looks good doesn't mean it is a good weld. You go over this in great detail. Thanks for your effort, making these videos, it really helps. Take Care and Stay Safe. Bob
Those hairline cracks is due to the surfaces not having the oxide film completely removed prior to welding. The penetration is good, but that doesn't help when there is a non-melted hard divider of alumina prevententing the two parts fuse together. ;)
I know the method works on mild steel, but I forget what kind of acid we used to etch. The easy off might do it. I have never tried a cut and etch on stainless. I would assume it still works as long as you have a strong enough acid.
Sorry to add negativity to this, but I've been watching you from time to time. Im a nuclear class, mainly stainless, tig pipe welder/fitter. 20 years exp. What i can say from watching you is...one, you have excellent control, however your methods and welding teaching advice are rnot representative of how you would weld in the field. I don't know where to start to explain how different things are compared to what you are teaching as "welding" but i wouldn't be doing anyone a favor by keeping quiet . ..you need to explain to people this is "ART" and not necessarily represent official industry welding standards specifically to people who call you teacher, when welds fail in the feild (real life) people can die. Or in my case melt down lol...joking of course, the level of scrutiny at a nuclear power plant is insane. Im lucky to get a single pipe weld a day in, 2 if its crunch time. But we sometimes wear positive pressure rubber suits and have air supply lines to trip over to before we even start to think about welding speed. Then all the scary pink pipes. To the other power workers out there will get that lol. But seriously Dusty, leave a disclaimer whenever you start a video kinda like you did in this one. Also im not just a stainless Tig welder, im very experienced with Mig and Stick, all alloys. Ie... mild steel, stainless steel, nickel chromium, copper/brass, aluminum and hard steel. Im probably forgetting some. CWB TSSA NUCLEAR Certified in pipe and variable thickness plate in all positions.....not boasting just saying i know what im saying.

For a hobbyist like myself, this is great. Thanks Dusty, your advice is always welcome.

I did a cut and etch about a month ago. With tips from you and others on yt, it looked great. Thanks!
you are turnimg me into am Aluminum Tig Welder ...... thank you for being you
Great VT footage!! Lookn at the back is a fabulous tip! Cut it up and have a look...

To etch use 5%-10% nitric acid and rinse it off with denatured ethyl alcohol. This etches the weld in under 10 seconds.
Good stuff! Thanks Dusty!
Great video Dusty.
Always good to know ones penetration profile. I don't wish to have any porosity on my welds
Those hairline cracks is due to the surfaces not having the oxide film completely removed prior to welding. The penetration is good, but that doesn't help when there is a non-melted hard divider of alumina prevententing the two parts fuse together. ;)
Thanks for that info, always wondered what was actually causing it.
hi new to your channel and was wondering if you sell tig gloves they look awesome. your videos have helped a lot.
Hello brothers and sisters in the welding world
Thanks LARRYMOORE
Thanks Larry, I always appreciate you watching 🤙
Dusty, what do you think of Prime Weld welders? I cant afford miller or esab
The premiweld and the AHP alphatig are both quality machines.
Why don't you mention Everlast, considering this is what Dusty is using, and it's cheaper than "miller or esab"
What size filler rod were you using in the demo?
looks like 3/32
A lot of Borosilicate flameworkers are getting into this art..or craft? What's the proper term?
Does I work with other materials
I know the method works on mild steel, but I forget what kind of acid we used to etch. The easy off might do it. I have never tried a cut and etch on stainless. I would assume it still works as long as you have a strong enough acid.
Just weld the pieces back together and repeat
petroleum jelly

it would be helpful to detail some of the main differences between Dusty's advice/classes and what you name "how you would weld in the field"
Please elaborate, knowledge is power.
Relax Francis, it's RUclips.
