      *English* should be capitalized as it’s a proper noun. Your so-called “sentence” is also missing a subject (i.e. who “shoulda” paid more attention?). I guess it’s you who should’ve paid more attention in *English* class, doofus.

    Nice videos, used to tig before I lost my index and middle finger on my rod feeder hand and have recently been trying to get back into tig welding again, have to say trying to change which hands are holding the torch and wire have been discouraging to say the least but your videos have inspired me

    I was always wondering what the stick out rule was. I am just learning how to TIG weld and this was very informative. I learned how stick out matters and also why you would use a different size cup. Thanks!

  • @balisticsquirel
    @balisticsquirel 6 лет назад +17

    Now run 3 more weld lines at the longer stickout (say 12). One with the torch and cup tilted and pointing 'ahead' of the bead (simulating how most folks weld, feeding rod from the front). One with the cup angled backward (which should blow shielding gas back over the bead and keep it shielded for longer). And one straight up / down as you did here.

    • @CJ-ty8sv
      @CJ-ty8sv 6 лет назад

      balisticsquirel was thinking the exact same thing. In theory, due to geometry, an angle should technically all for some degree of extra stickout. I dont think it will be much but should. And then there is still the flow variable and turbulence factor related to it.

    How much gas do you use with 25mm of stick out?!

    • @reignitionautomotive8281

    • @marsattacks3455
      @marsattacks3455 3 года назад +1

      Yes and also the blanket behind it will help keep coverage over the weld and flow from cup. Argon is heavier than air. And will fill the area as long as it's covered.

  • @AgentWest
    @AgentWest 6 лет назад +1

    Came here for the post-intro "WTF screen", stayed for a rather informative and interesting video :)
    Couple of tips about the CNC: You can download so-called 'screens' for Mach3. They are in essence different layouts of the controls. My personal favorite is 'Aqua' since it's not as cluttered as the standard screen and it's design is more pleasant to look at. Number two: for some reason after finishing a pass your CNC wend down to Z0. You should add something like this to the end of the code to prevent this:
    M05
    (turn off spindle or whatever machine thinks is spindle)
    G04 P500
    (pause the program for half of a second)
    M09
    (turn off all coolant outputs, possibly gas to the torch)
    G0 Z1
    (quick retraction to 1" or 1mm above surface)
    M30
    (rewind to start of program)
    It's good to have a simple text file that you can copy/paste from to get all your basic commands for the beginning and end of the code. Do watch out for G43 (cutter length compensation) since it will send the machine to Z plus whatever-the-tool-table-tells-it-that-the-tool-is-long and it will start working in the air instead of in/on the part.
    It looks like we are using same software and controller, so if you have any questions then feel free to ask!
    One more note: another interesting thing is that on that particular controller there are two on/off outputs for spindle, one for CW and one for CCW. They are turned on by M03 and M04 and are both turned off by M05 in the G-code. That means that you can have two attachments on the machine and have it do two things one after another. For example, you can set up the machine to lay a bead with a welder, wait couple minutes for the bead to cool, and pass over it to spray some rust preventative from a can that's activated by a servo.

    Very interesting results with your test on stick out. What would be cool to see is cut and etching to see how the weld profiles are on the different samples. Stress testing results would be interesting to see too. And there is always ways to manipulate the gas where you need it to stay too.

    @Adam-b8i 6 лет назад +5

    Interesting tests. It would be cool to see a similar test with one cup at a typical stick out, but several flow rates. I’d like to know at what point you’re wasting gas with the bigger nicer gas lens setups, and if it’s possible to make them aspirate ambient shop air into the weld like you can with a smaller standard cup.

  • @gregkral4467
    @gregkral4467 6 лет назад

    Just from the first impression of the vid, (and I like to speak out prematurely) is that you sometimes need that tungsten stickout as extreme, (with the proper gas lens), if you gotta get your arc close to the joint, an a tight location that you normally cannot reach. There is a reason, and application for it, now i will finish watching the video of this amazing teacher. Cheers!

  • @jonnya6107
    @jonnya6107 6 лет назад +1

    Great vid and info Justin, its something I've always kinda wondered about, but never really got the chance to test out, especially to the degree of accuracy which you have here, which is more than adequate imho. I deffo am with you on going between the 12 and the 8, 8 looks the best to me in this example. It would interesting to see what that same setup would come out like using number 10 stickout.
    Just FYI, and maybe other folk's too, as a "speed setup" thing, the way I've always set my tungsten is to leave the tungsten loose in the torch while I rest the bottom edge of the cup on a flat surface, the tungsten also of course is down on that same flat surface, it being loose. I then rock the torch either forward or back as needed, eyballing the angles as I do so until the cup and the tungsten create an equilateral triangle like something like this, but "squarer" /\ in relation to the flat surface, (or an "X" type shape - basically you're looking for 90 and 45 degree angles if that makes sense). It's then just a case of nipping down the collet and you're done - with parctice I find it's pretty accurate and can be done in just a few seconds (about 5 or less at a guess, never timed it though)

    I welded a crappy cast exhaust port/flange (Harley-Davidson Shovelhead) with a #10 and a ton of stick out in the beginning, until I got the deep part filled, then went to about 3/8" stick out. I bet I was 5/8" or more in the beginning. I turned up the argon flow to about 35. Don't know if it mattered. Nasty metal.

    @marvisnice8103 6 лет назад

    You might have wanted to mention less stick out you can run less argon flow, more stickout obviously you need to run more for the required coverage. Running the same amount of gas for those different stickout lengths will obviously give different results due to gas coverage.

    So what I'm conflicted with is the HAZ. The oxidation should be an effect of stickout and cfh, but the HAZ (I assumed) is an effect of amps and travel speed. This is relevent to me, as I weld 10g-16 g stainless everyday.

    You did not take into account possible impurities that can affect both the bead and the tungsten. When I was taught to weld that's what was drilled into me. Not the weld specifically, but the possible contamination of the puddle or the red hot tungsten.

  • @kslats916
    @kslats916 6 лет назад

    I would think that gas flow rate also needs a bit of tweaking along with stickout. I do understand from a pure experimental standpoint you want to only change one variable at a time.

    • @TheFabricatorSeries
      @TheFabricatorSeries  6 лет назад +1

      You get more accurate data when it's only a single variable. Adjust multiple things and the data becomes inconclusive. Stack data on data by only changing one variable at a time and you get one ridiculously long episode.

      "It keeps your finger cool for longer than not having it" is about the only review anyone can give.

    Due to the relative high resistance of tungsten the greater the stick out the more power is going to be lost in heating up the tungsten and the less power in the arc. So the longer the tungsten the cooler the arc will be for the same settings on the welding machine. The weld heat is produced by the I2R (current squared times resistance)losses in the arc.

    I am a noob to tig and was having trouble seeing my puddle, lifting my torch to see the puddle caused major porosity weld issues, watching this helped me realize I didn't have enough stick out, thank you for these videos. Can you do a video on cup size nd argon flow settings, I have basically been using 20 for everything for flow regardless or cup size and it's worked well enough but my stick out has been way to short after seeing this.

    Those size numbers are Army Navy standard, otherwise known as a "dash" designation -6 is 6/16 or 3/8

    Man if you have time to do the same test again just do it with a single cup, when you lower the stickout size drop your CFH the same percentage as the amount of stickout you use to show the same gas flow say if your running a 3/4" stickout on a number 12 at 25CFH try doing a half inch stickout @ 18CFH or roughly 1/4 less CFH see if the results are identical would be awesome to know also
