Don't use this Tungsten for Tig Welding

- This tungsten has given me problems for years. And why is this? Because I'm LAZY, and sometimes think I can get away with using them. When the solution is so simple, why don't we just make it easy for ourselves and get better results with our tig welds...?

I was a sanitary pipe welder for twenty years. Mostly stainless but occasionally hasteloy, monel or some other exotic. I took my union retirement and now I work for a company that builds some fancy dry docks for rich people's boats. All aluminum. I can tell you. With nearly 30 years of experience.. I dip my tungsten. I keep a bench grinder in arms reach. Give my tungsten a needle sharp tip, start welding and it isn't perfect but as the ball forms naturally as I weld it gets better and better until it is exactly how I like it. Using DCEP to ball my tungsten gives me way too big of a ball for tight welds.
I agree with your thoughts on tungsten maintenance I use 2% lanthnated for alum and steel I won't go back,thanks for all your tips🤗😎😎
I do to, It seems to work the best with my welder
@@danshafer4979 Seems to be the best one out there. I'm running them too.
Get with the LaYZr game. Seriously, if you haven't tried it, you're missing out.
Great content and informative as always. Can you give any pointers on using TIG without a foot pedal in a future video. Thanks.
I love watching your channel Dusty! You have some awesome tips and really cool projects. Would you mind doing a new video on how you ball your tungsten? If you search, RUclips, there’s literally nothing out there of value. At least none that I have found. Thank you.
I just push through my dipped tungsten. Because I'll just dip it again a few moments later. Once I got better I started caring more. But starting out I didn't care.
Is the contamination above the grind. From lifting to early and oxidizing the tungsten?
My filler rod sparks what's the cause . I'm a beginner and appreciate your videos very much.
This dude is so ridiculously good at TIG
And have a dedicated grinding wheel for your tips to avoid tip contamination. Or at bare minimum a spot on a wheel that only tungsten touches.
Just sharpen a little longer knocking stuff off the wheel
Short but informative.
Thank you Dusty, good information
Holy cow guy’s, pull that tung back into the cup! Only pulls the tungsten that far out if it’s hard to reach! Most of the time you should barely be able to see the tip, while working! The ark will jump 1/4- 1/2” no problem. Use auto shades so you don’t have to do head flip while starting a tight spot.
Gas lens baby! No one has to be that fussy about stick out unless you’re still rockin the old school collet bodies
Nooooooope!!! What YOU should do is not what everyone should do.
I like to grind both ends so i can just flip it
But you can't get the contaminated end through the hole in the gas lens or collet, so you have to take the back cap off every time?
@@InchFab if you don’t dip it bad it goes in. If you have to push it at all it’ll still wear those parts out quicker tho
Great information Dusty. Keep up the awesome work 🤘🔥
Great tips Dusty. Thanks. 🪙🪙
Very informative, thank you.
Do you have a video on the different electrodes and what one to use where?
Good show! Thanks for sharing!
E3 tungsten sticks tolerate dips much better than golden tungsten sticks. That means, you can dip an E3 tungsten two or three times and still weld well. With a golden tungsten, one dip and it's over.
E³ exclusively for AC🙌 because it's 1/3$ as CK LaYZr 🤷♂️ but dips depends on how bad. Better off just swapping every time.
Never a good idea to keep going after a dip, especially if your work is required to be high quality. If you weld professionally, or even as a hobby, it doesn’t take long to grind 5-15 tungstens to have on standby.
E3 are THE SAME as gold… just marketing 😊
@@Deichwerkstatt Gold is 1,3 to 1,7 % Lanthanum oxide.
E3 has three oxides (hence the name): Lanthanum oxide (as before), Zirconium oxide and Yttrium oxide.
@@AndreasR1 read the safety Datasheets from the E3 and from 1.5 lanth.. zirconium and yttrium are also almost in the same amount in a 1.5% lanth.. some E3 have a bit more lathanoxid in them so they run more like a 2%.. but most of them get killed on AC and they have a wide quality range.
Beginner here, just got a tig rig for a Miller stick welder. Mainly doing thin stainless sheet metal. Keep getting a squealing sound while welding from the arc. I did reverse polarity , and I know I’m using too much heat based off one of your other videos. Welds look bad. Any idea about it?
If you're tig welding stainless steel you _must_ use DC current (squealing sound is something normal when tig welding aluminium using AC current) and you _must_ use the correct polarity (tungsten to negative and base metal to positive, so the electrons transfers heat from tungsten to the welding pool).
As far as I know, the only exception to this rule is when using gasless mig welding.
If you are using pulsed DC tig welding, check your pulse frequency setting. High frequency pulses could turn into kind of squealing sound.
Otherwise basics don't change and pretty welds mainly involve correct and constant tungsten distance to the welding pool and correct and constant angle to welded base metal.
@@vozhdmeister5256 thanks man I’ll check all that!
Love the vidoes man! Been watching everything haha, im looking to get a TIG welder for a garage setup. I'm trying to decide between Everlast 210ext and Canaweld 201 Pulse D, in your genuine opinion which is the better setup for at home? Thanks !
Price, warranty.
Killer stuff... as always bro!
Thanks LARRYMOORE
If you dip yours tungsten. You should grind that part away. It will show on röntgen.
Could you do a video on out of position welding?
Come to motorsports industry. I weld WRC spaceframes and cages daily. Sometimes need to hang out like a ape to nail down some gusset or tube joints. 😂
@@Marko-JZX100 how did you get involved? Offroad racing isn't big in ny area and I wanted to relocate so I plan to volunteer for a couple events around Nevada and Utah to get my foot in the door.
@@cleon135 Bought a tig welder about 7 years ago. Learned to weld and fabricate with my own car at first. Down the road done all kinda small projects to other car builds, and got to known people around the country involved with tuning and motorsports. Half year ago I was asked by a employee of TGR that would I be interested in building chassis for WRC. Hit up with a resume, gave weld test and yeh thats about it.
@@Marko-JZX100 awesome! Thanks for the reply🤟
You prefer to run a ball on your tungsten even when welding steel?
If your welding stainless with i ball I’m pretty sure that’s not gonna work well😂
Probably just for aluminum. He usually focuses on aluminum welding
Hey if I wanted to hire you to make an art piece where would I go and how would I get in contact with you?
Ball'd ends are the old school way of welding Aluminium with the old rectifiers AFAIK ( Sychrowaves etc ) most of the new Aluminum GTAW machines use inverter technology which imo is far superior. It allows you to weld Aluminum with a pointed tip . You have far more control and can manipulate your HF more up into the 300 HZ to lay very small and precise beads .
The really old machines I used we used to switch the polarity to DCEP strike a arc to get the balled end and switch back to AC to weld . Good riddance just get an inverter like a Dynasty lol
Uhhhh, those everlasting welders ARE inverter machines. Balled ends, when done properly on a nice hard tungsten like 2% Lanthaninated, work very well for a lot of applications. Personally yes, I do prefer a pointed tip, but if someone can lay strong, clean, nice looking beads and follow the wps, then who gives a shit how they sharpen.
@@lyster1ne681 Never saw what he was running in the video . Everlasts are nice machines . Just saying the old school AC tig welders are like making a phone call with a Nokia when these days there is smart phones ( inverters )
That's only good for the first 3 or 4 minutes. After that the tip looks like shit and needs a little ball to pinpoint the arc.
It’s crazy people still ball their tungsten
Do you ever use a stainless wire wheel to polish the tunsten after grinding?
Never seen anyone do that before
@@Carolbaskin23 I saw one person do it on RUclips. I tried it but I didn't think it made a difference. I don't use it.
what about scratch start tig?
What about it?
@@InchFab well if the pro's say don't dip the tip, how do you scratch start without dipping 🤔
My electrode just keeps melting 🤣
Have you hooked up your tig torch to the positive terminal?
And trust 100% of tiggers go through this! It’s a right of passage!
He said he likes using a tungsten with a ball on the end of it. How do you create that
If you run on aluminum it'll create it naturally by just welding. Can't think of another scenario where you would want a balled tip.
The way you grind it. No point, just flat end and chamfer about 1/3 the depth.
Turn the balance to max (opposite end of the 30 whatever % you normally run), hold a tight arc on a clean piece of aluminum or copper, and slowly push the pedal down. It'll look and sou d like a tiny lightning storm for a second or two, then get super bright super fast and a ball will form. The longer you hold it, the fatter the ball, but you really only need a small shiny ball to make a huge difference. Don't forget to adjust the balance back to whatever you usually run. Also, higher amps makes the ball form faster.
@@manofausagain DO NOT DO THIS
Seems like all of a sudden my arc avoids the tungsten altogether. It prefers to arc anywhere but from the tungsten defying the laws of physics like the tungsten becomes he world's best insulator. Ugh
How do you prepare your tungsten with a ball on the end of it.
You can switch your machine to reverse polarity and just lightly tap the pedal until it balls or if you can adjust your AC balance to be as close to balanced as possible and do the same thing with the light tap on the pedal that also works
Grind it like that.
90% of what your talking about is only relevant to welding aluminum. Your viewers should know that
If you tig weld, more than 90% of the people should know that just by looking at the tungsten. Or maybe the material he uses.
Idk, why does everything need a fucking disclaimer? Isn't it obvious?
@@InchFab Read the comments Joshua. It's amateur hour over here. Nothing wrong with that. Just saying.
