I'm a visual learner, this has done me the world of difference
Sweet man. Glad you enjoyed it.
Omg that add, swell, sink sequence is perfectly captured. Good video, immediately got the lesson here. Thanks so much!
Thank you bro.
Sweet bead. So miss welding. Definitely an art. Still have my practice plate when I went for my certification back in the 80's. Proud Airco grad
I have my test plates too. Tig and stick. God bless you
i signed up. i feel it's important to support educational content out there so it's still around. lots of people going dark these days. let's keep the fire going. thanks for the heads up, buddy.
and double thanks for being so helpful a year ago when i was getting started looking for tig torch cups. i've built and repaired a lot of things since thanks to you.
That puddle sinking kind of blew my mind, so easy once you know what to look for, made all the difference at work!
Excellent video! Thank you for sharing! The explanation and demonstration of the puddle sinking before you add more filler rod made perfect sense! Enjoy your week! Be safe!
Thank you Bro.
Fantastic video as always. Best arc shots on the Web as they say!
We only use TIG on the root pass when working on our steam lines. So carbon seamless API pipe, 7018 fill and cap.
So the AC function only really comes into play when working on home projects, cars and boats for example.
Your videos on AC tig have really become a "go to" for advice and an inspiration . And of course your talented colleagues.
Best regards from Belfast.
Well, I'm not a welder but I follow projects that require it and I'm clueless. I just watched Practical Engineering's beginner welding video where he recommended you. So, I've watched and I'm very impressed with your work. I'm detail-oriented and a visual learner so your close-ups and explanations were perfect for me. Thanks a bunch for sharing your expertise. I'll be watching more!
I became an aluminum welder by watching your videos, thanks
Really like his delivery.....very honest.....want to see more of Brad........he has lots to offer
Been welding aluminum as a hobbiest and this is exactly what I need. I can make an weld look pretty on the surface but never found conclusive info for the back side. Solved all of my questions in 8 minutes. I'm doing everything correctly, I just need to wait a few seconds longer!
Always a pleasure watching you.
Been watching your channel for a long time, I've learned a ton. Been listening to your podcast for a long time, I've learned a ton. I will definitely join welder skills.
Been following you for years. I still learn something every episode.
Thanks for posting Jody
Thanks for the tips guys, always looking forward to new uploads 🍻
Nice to see your posts !
Love it! Watching during break at welding school!
Hope you enjoyed it!
That’s always awesome to hear man. Best wishes with school.
Fantastic video ! Thank-you VERY much for passing the knowledge along. Genuinely, it is appreciated. You guys absolutely rock !
Hit it and move way before it drops out on you. Pro tips! Great channel!
I really like your videos. Thanks for making them!
Hey Jody, Love the videos. I remember training under you back in 92. Glad I found your channel.
Hey there Paul
I’m on lunch in welding school love the vids man
Love all your videos; they have helped me greatly. I wish you could do more videos on self shielded flux core without gas. This is what I use mostly. Thanks!
Always... ALWAYS great information. Thank you.
Happy New Year, Jodie. Let 2022 be healthy and prosperous for you and your family.
Thank you for your time.
Great video! That’s for sharing your knowledge.
Dude, you had e scratching the screen with those holes on your wall .lol....love seeing new videos, I have said it before and I will say it again. Your guides put me through welding school and now keep me going in my job
Love it, good stuff Jody!!!
Outstanding Jody.......best wishes from Orlando...Paul
I just got my aluminum certificate because of all your descriptive videos
I always rush my starts on alum. i cant wait to try this out!
Thanks, awesome vid
Love you Jody youve helped me out with alot of tig questions and love your skills wish we could weld sometime
Thanks for the videos Jody. Would love to see a video comparing mixed tig (ac/dc pulse) with amplitude adjustment on heavy aluminium. Cheers
It's a very helpful RUclips
Excellent video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
I like your video,mr welding tips and tricks,your video is very detailed,argon welding techniques,I have tearm from you
Great video, good accurate explanation. I've observed this on my learnings which created "click" moments and help progress to that "next" level in understanding what occurs before your eyes as a aluminium tig welder. While production welding, I found that a foot pedal set up made things easier being able to control the heat, rather than chasing. if you know what i mean?
The camera work is phenomenal. My welds not so much. Keep practicing.
Arcul electric are un sunet plăcut urechii și baia de metal, foarte frumos așezată
I've been Welding aluminium 35 years. The key us comfort
Thanks Guys
Спасибо за видео
4:38 best arc shot of tig welding ally I have ever seen.
Jody's arc shots are the best on the web, period. That's a big part of his success--pretty good videos and great arc shots--and good skills as a welder and a teacher. Some "teachers" don't weld half as good.
i don't weld, probably won't, but this makes me want to try.
I religiously watch your videos and all the tips and tricks you gave is what made me to take brother I am today and also too I've noticed that you tested some machines and they've all been high-end machines except for the ahp. Me I got a primeweld Tig 225x and I was wondering if you would get one and give it a try and run it through the paces and see what your opinion is upon it. I've added the max cool 3000 water cooler to mine and it's gave it 100% duty cycle at 225 amps the machine is a great machine in my eyes but it is my first TIG welder and I've had it for 2 years now. I'd like to see you get one in your hands put it through the paces and see what your opinion is for a TIG welder under $1,000 and it has a lot of features like the Miller.
Hey Jody, what’s a good way to figure out where to set your gas flow rate?
Hey Jody I have a question for you." If Brad Goodman's tig welding video on aluminum is one of the best videos you've ever seen then my question is why should people be learning from you on how to tig weld aluminum ? Lol JK! your videos are very instructional as well and I didn't know of Brad Goodman 20 yrs ago when I started watching your videos.
Jody is the man, no doubt. I’ve watched his video for many years. It was really really an honor to be included on his channel for sure. Thanks for watching bro.
@@mojomafia1 no problemo Brad your welcome, I definitely liked your video as well and yeah it was very cool for Jody to have you as a guest on his RUclips channel. I used to weld aluminum for a company building aluminum & steel signal houses for the railroad and was able to do a fair amount on aluminum mig and tig welding on the aluminum houses but I don't work for that company anymore. Anyways long story short acquiring knowledge and skill in different ways to weld things sure is a nice road to travel and the journey in doing it sure is helpful especially when you gain appreciation in become more patience in all types of welding applications. Tig welding is definitely something that you really want to take your time with getting to know and once a person learns it really well they can really lay down some very slick looking deeply penetrated weld beads.
Freakin brilliant 👍
Just wanting to get started, any suggestions on he best machine to start with? Thanks!
Great video! I’ve noticed the puddle drop before but I’ve always been border line panicked at that point because I’m afraid the whole thing will fall out. I’ll try to get a little more comfortable with this! Thanks
Same here when I weld that slow my puddle ends up as a flat mess very frustrating
@@mikecrawford5331you have to back up on the pedal..
I miss tig welding😞
Great info thanks LARRYMOORE
Is it gravity dropping that puddle? Does it change on an uphill weld?
Спасибо. Лайк. Репост.
Hi great video always helpful but wish you would give all measurements in metric as well as imperial for the rest of the world
I’m just learning. Starting with mig on aluminum. Tips?? It’s job related. Technically I am a tubing outfitter but want to tack/ weld my own stuff and am in the booth. Any help? My instructor is one of the top three but not so great on info share. I appreciate your input!!!
Any tips on 3G with backing? I'm a student attempting my first aluminum cert and having trouble on the root pass.
Ok muito bom
What does his amps mean?
189EN / 120 EP?
I just have 2 days on aluminum so sorry.
Kinda related , my question for you is : what 200 amp inverter AC/DC Tig machine do you recommend, or top choices.
I ask because I'm using a AHP 203xi and I have a small job welding some brackets of 1/4 aluminum with a 1/2 tab about 2 inches high and I have to preheat work piece . The main issue is heat from torch and hose. I get about 5 mins in and every is roasting. Is this from an inferior machine or am I just maxing it out? I'm using #5 ceramic gas lens, 1/8 inch tungsten with 45° bevel and I'm running 200 amps AC , 200 on frequency and 30 % cleaning 100% argon at 12 cfph.
Will other machines such as Everlast , Miller or other popular Ac Tig machines have the same issues at 200 amps?
I know a cooler is an option, but I rarely weld that thick of aluminum.
Thank you and love the videos and tig finger
More like tig finger saver
Hey, why not weld via camera image? You can choose any angle, and see it enlarged.
"Smells crime, back to lab, full penetration. Crime, penetration.. crime , full penetration "
Nice video. I think it would also be helpful to include what type of tungsten is being used in every welding video. Thank you
If you ever have to guess what Jody is using, guess 2% Lanthanated-that's his standard, usually 3/32 and he's always going to mention when it's not such.
Sir i see your vedeo how to weld tig, i want to ask you , what distance between plate and nosesole of welding..? Im interested to use that welding machine..👍
I'm Aluminum welder myself and all I want to say Mighty welders also chant📣 LET'S GO BRANDON!!!
I am wondering how you would handle tiny corners that are diffucult to weld cause of other parts that are in the way. I pull out my tungsten some more and get a bigger cup. Scenario happens often with tiny stuff when 1,6 tungsten is needed (round tip)
I usually do the same. I would usually rather use a bigger cup with longer extension than use a micro torch. furick cups like ceramic fupa12 that have extra diffuser screens are not necessarily recommended for AC welding but definitely do work in a pinch with a long stickout
Anyone know how to eliminate the line on the back of the weld where the weld penetrates . I keep having this with my aerospace test
👍🏼
What kind of point is his tungsten??
Has anybody purchased the course and can leave a review?
Newbie here :
I'm welding 16/10 (1.6mm, 0.063in) 5754 alu and for the life of me I cannot get the butt welds to get a proper fusion . Under the joint you can see the dull grey metal sagging but with a clear separation where the 2 pieces meet. And once I grind the weld, there it is , a hair line where the 2 parts meet.
I tried keeping the torch on one spot for long and then move slowly but ... Nope. It's like both parts want only to melt each separately and never mix. Even with the filler metal, they'll mix inside it (on the surface) but under that they're still segregated.
What is happening..?
It's an industrial 400A tig, using 1mm (3/64") zircon tungsten , 70-30 balance, 32 to 37 amp , 'bout 12-13cfh, can't tweak hz.
If you're welding thicker than 1/8, do you gap the material or still butt it right up to each other? I weld sched 40 aluminum pipe and I have a lot of trouble getting good full penetration.
Anything thicker than 1/8 I would use a gap if I needed full penetration
Fill and chill
Can you explain what tungsten is recomendable to use?
I use CK LaYZr
Im still relatively new to tig. This is the most asked and least answered question I think i've found. For aluminum I've tried 2% Ceriated (grey), Pure (green), E3 (purple), LayZr (chartreuse) and 2% thoriated (Blue). The only thing I can truly say is that no one agrees, it'll come down to personal preference. Get a few colors and experiment. So far I think I've had best luck with 2% Ceriated (grey) but the E3 and laYZr both work pretty well...for me
Jody usually uses 2% lanthanated tungstens for all materials I believe
@@chrisplayz253 I’ve always been old school green pure tungsten, but recently my welding supply guru has led me into the lanthanated world for everything!
I use 2% lanthenated for everything. Try it, you won't be sorry.
I have a question about the behavior of 74% of the balance, why is it so much? I usually use 31%.
Ep or En, your machine reads electrode positive.
Some machines are back to front like that, just the way they display it. You would have 69% if you where using his welder
Came here for the second part of the title.
Lá ele
😁👍👍👍❤️
watch 6061 dude weld aluminum .
the machine. Aaron welds like a machine, and has great humor.
did not explain much about gap and why he chose such parameters other than to point out to let the puddle sink
หน้าจะมีบรรยายภาษาไทยบ้างนะครับผมขอเป็นfcนะครับจากเมืองไทยครับ
I've never seen 4043 actually penetrate and bond on the back side of the weld.. it always looks like butt cheeks
