- Опубликовано: 31 дек 2020
- Today we gonna do some beginner Tig Welding practice on some Stainless Steel! And make it a bit challenging by doing it on some thin stuff too! (1.6mm 1/16" 16 gauge) Shoutout to my friend Chad who suggested some episodes on welding some THIN stainless steel, so this is the first episode where I'll break down a few different joint variations. And today- the LAP WELD! Watch me as I try to keep this thing cool (almost impossible) and under control, to make a fresh looking weld! Hope ya enjoy!

Thanks for watching!🔥🔥 Check out my latest art project HERE🔥🔥 ruclips.net/video/I6KYDpJHKlQ/видео.html
What are the most important features on a tig welder to get the colorful results that you do??? I'm now in the market.
AYYYYYYEEEE, MY GUY HOOKED ME UP.... THANKS BROTHER!!!!! I REALLY APPRECIATE IT... BECAUSE I JUST GOT A "CRUMMY PURGE BOX' FROM WELDMONGER AND THIS IS LITERALLY PERFECT TIMING..... AND THAT IS THE SAME TUNGSTEN I HAVE WITH A CLEAR #8 FURICK.... THANKS AGAIN BROTHER.... and for yall that think that Dusty has forgotten about you.... This proves that he always comes in clutch!!!!!
Haha awesome man! I genuinely appreciate you watching man, I always want to hook my OGs up however I can. Although I wish I could sooner, hope I could help:) Cheers brother!
Wow
Thank you so much for your videos. I finally took a leap of faith this year and purchased a TIG welder this year. I looked towards RUclips and find your channel as my first instructions. After 5 months of tour instruction I have just finished a stainless steel exhaust system for my project car. Thank you so much for your teachings.
You’re a good man, Dusty. I’m glad I watched all the way to the end.
I love when people say to hold the torch at a 15 degree angle, then proceed to weld at a 30-40 degree angle.
Learning alot from your videos man. Im trying to get my stainless down so I can build a water jacketed turbo kit for my jet ski.
Dusty I'm new to tig, never did it be for and I'm learning so much from your videos. I like how you explain why something happened. The one thing I would like to see you add to the video is your current amps in like the bottom or top of the screen as you are working. Thanks for the great videos.
Nice. Happy New Year wishes from Sweden.
Next I would like to see 0.8mm stainless both butt and corner joints.
Hey man, this channel rocks. I finally pulled the trigger and bought myself a TIG machine as I always wanted to learn to weld. I got plans to make a heat pump and that means it have to join aluminum to steal and I figure if that's possible it's only possible with tig. So hopefully I can figure that out in the next couple years. I am so glad you make these videos because I was thinking maybe I wasn't gonna be able to teach myself, but now I don't have to you're gonna teach me. I love your artwork by the way, I've never seen anything like it.
Sorry to say that a TIG machine won't enable you to weld Aluminum to Steel...
48% through your course. My welder should be here this week. Can't wait to get started practicing.
Great video Dusty. I really like the critique portion on these instructional videos. It helps understand what to look for in my own welds.
Thanks Dusty for taking the time to present another great video!
Appreciate it and Happy New Year
Cheers Larry
Much love Dusty. From Bellingham, just across the water!
Yo, Dusty, howdy from Sequim, Wa. You were inspirational, I just started TIG. This was an awesome vid.
Love all your vids! Always learn a little something to tweak my technique.
Dude awesome! I’m happy I can help in any way!🍻🤙
Looking forward to watching this. Any tips for even thinner (22 and 18 gauge)? Thanks :)
Dude, LOVE those painted logos hanging on the shelf! Happy New year my friend! Health and happiness to you for 2021!
Word Derrick you too man!
Happy New Year Dusty. Great way to start it out with another nice video and some positive vibes. You are inspiring both to my tig welding education and my spirit. Thank you.
Awesome Chris! Happy to read this! Cheers my friend!
Best wishes for 2021 WeldWizzard!
Looks great man! I typically use a 12 as well.
Good work. Love it. I hope one day all use the Metric system so i would just understand what measurments you say.... Your welds is amazing. We all love the rainbow stuff but as you say, gold is the best.
Cheers from sweden!
Can't wait for this one man, should be a good one!
Another good one bro ill b doing stainless next week in class thanks again
Happy New Year
Good stuff!!
Dude I really like your channel. Well done
hey Dusty, im new to tig welding and I am currently in a class ,however your videos are amazing and are helping ! i have been trying to learn how to walk the cup and none of the videos i watch gives any helpful tips . could you help guide me in the right direction
Great job Dusty,since u not using ur everlast as often pls send it over to me hear in south africa,all the best for the new year,stay blessed,stay safe💯💯💯💯
Haha! I wonder how long it would take to get there...🤔 If you live near a beach I’ll deliver it personally😂🙏 Cheers Ryan, all the best to you my friend 🙏
Good video, when you dabbing the filler are you watching the material cool and form the dimes. Or watching the filler at the tip. Thanks
from aus 👍🏻🇦🇺 as just starting to learn your art is amazing 🤩
I’d love to see your foot in some of these to watch the fluctuation in amperage or if the machine shows how much during one or the other ! Thanks !
Dusty, rhis video is awesome. Really like it. What was the cfh on the smaller cup?
What amperage range you think you were pumping through the pedal?
I'm having issues with really thin stainless warps up badly any tips you can share?
Happy New Year
Hey Dusty great vid as usual !! I know I have asked before but any chance you can do something on regular mild steel plate, does not have to be a full on art project just something small but enough to see the challenges? I know you said some time ago there were issues but it would be great to see how you would deal with it and how it compares to your stainless projects. Thanks & HNY !!
Yooo Dusty!
It's Chase, hope you're doing well homie.
Love the channel man!
Look forward to working with you again
CHASE! You rock man. Hope you doin good man! See you sometime after this lockdown deal😂?
Worth tacking the opposite side as well, stops the top piece lifting and distorting. Also clamp it down with aluminium or copper chill bars right close to the joint on the upper plate. It'll help keep it from distorting and will keep the bead from colouring up if you don't want the blue/purple etc.
💪🍻
I’m in school and we’re doing Tig welding and it is a STRUGGLE for me. I’m just ver inconsistent some beads will have color some will be completed grey and cloudy. My professor tells me to just up my travel speed. You didn’t seem to go completely lightning speed, so I’m wondering why it’s always grey for me? GREAT VIDEO!
I been working on laps on a gas tank .016 very Very touching
.But i will get it
can you show the bottom of your work pieces so we know what's too hot and what's acceptable . thank you for the video .
Ever try an HTP Inverting?
Hey Dusty, awesome as usual, my hero:). My welding is much more advanced since watching your videos. Can I ask how can you control the colour on stainless steel weld to achieve the desired colour? Can you achieve this on mild steel? Last question, I mostly weld aluminium castings and build fuel cells, I use a Lincoln 275 precision Tig with the advanced pulse control panel and I only use 2.4mm Tungsten with a normal basic size 8 cup, it welds rather nice(not as good as yours). So the question, if I use one of these new style inverter welders and maybe a gas lens would I benefit by achieving better results? Welding aluminium plate of 2mm and castings around 15mm. Thanks man
Good questions! I definitely reside in the camp of being able to lay down beautiful welds with a basic machine. Transformers, small cups, don’t matter. Take the time to set up meticulously, run some dry passes (no fill) to get gas/travel speed dialled, and then work into the actual pass from there. As far as colours, check this vid I did, ruclips.net/video/UJcn8W_Mv5I/видео.html it was a fun one of balancing feed amounts, gas coverage- just goofing around really:) Thank you so much for checking the vid out! I appreciate you a lot🙏
Do you ever use the pulse feature?
Maybe I was not paying attention, but what size and type filler rod are you using ?
Wait did you say what amps you were running? Would you say 35 if you were pushing peddle down halfway? Also we’re you using a larger SS filler rod?
Low amperage is actually going to add heat to the part isn't it? Also, you are supposed to double the cfh to the cup size right?
I always enjoy your videos. Nice job LARRYMOORE
Thanks Larry!
Love the vids, I only started learning to TIG a month ago, self teaching and your vids are epic, cheers.
What’s the material thickness in mm ?
What back cap you have on your torch?
I am also trying to learn Tig welding and I'm doing it the hard way... I have a 200amp stick welder with a (HZXVOGEN TIG Welding Gun WP26V). Which works well enough. I don't have any clear glass lenses yet and I'm using (2% Thoriated Red Tig Tungsten Assorted, 5PCS 3/32"x 7" + 5PCS 1/16"). I have been welding 18 guage stainless which is kitchen grade (316). I have been having a lot of trouble doing very good at all.. I don't have a peddle. So I have to adjust amps constantly. I don't have a sharpener for the electrode and have been using an angle grinder with a diamond tile cutting blade.. no ability to set the angle. Possibly not enough argon flow because it is difficult to maintain steady pressure with a manual nob to start and stop flow. With the setup I have it requires (scratch start) to function.. contaminated electrodes are normal for me. Beleive it or not.. I found that 308l flux core wire with a harbor freight 125amp flux welder works well enough but I can only overlap spots. So it's a lot of start and stop and it still gets really hot in order for the stainless to liquify.. so I know I basically need to upgrade my equipment and potentially be an "ok" Tig welder. Thanks for the education brother man!
Nice.. What do think about stainless filler on mild steel?
Yeah it can be done- I’ve done it often. Never on load bearing or sketchy stuff tho. Just to tack and d o minor stuff tho is all good:)
Does a bigger cup mean more shielding gas coming out resulting in colorful welds?
I have AHP Alphatig 200x, how do I set it up to get colorful welding?
Thanks
How do you lap weld 20 gauge along the whole 8 foot sheet without warping?
Thank you for sharing. don't you get intoxicated with argon gas? or do you use face mask to be protected? Thank you.
I dont think argon does that. It merely displaces oxygen. It is a heavy gas, so it could settle in your lungs, but breathing stirs it up and vacates it. I've gotten a little light headed from TONS of argon in my basement. Nothing about 5 minutes of fresh air and a cigarette can't fix. Argon isnt the same as carbon monoxide or other poisonous gases. Of course, I wouldnt want to be in a sealed pipe with an argon leak. Suffocating doesnt sound like a fun time until its completely over...
i see the haz zone sweet !!
Dude I’ll pop a dm sometime but maybe someone here will answer. My welds are oxidised so bad that theyre grey. Im not sure why, my gaa is good, got a number 7 cup at about 9l/min at about 45 amps. I know my cup might be a bit small but is it my torch angle perhaps or what else can i look at?
I realised i definitely have to much torch angle watching this video but for a different reason. I sometimes drip a ball of filler way infront of the puddle, probably because i was pointing the flame from my arc more to the side and its reaching the filler rod. Instead of down at the material
Nvm i found your video titled “why are my welds gray” 🤣🤣 lemme watch it quick
I reckon torch angle and maybe like 40 amps.. im practicing straight passes on the side of a 1-1.5mm pipe
The problem for me is that I can NEVER get anything but grey oxides. The reason is because by the time I am able to get a puddle, the piece about 1/2" around the cup has already turned cherry red. I've tried different current settings. Lower setting allows me more time, but it heats the whole steel up really hot. Larger amps forms a puddle faster but again, it just heats up the steel just as fast.
I'm not sure what happens...
Lower amperage tends to lead to too much heat input overall. Working on the higher end allows more of a “get in and get out” approach. For the latter, you need to increase your travel speed to avoid heat soaking the piece. The other thing to check is your arc length. If the arc is too long, you won’t concentrate the heat you do have into the puddle. Consider doing a few practice runs at just drawing an arc, adjusting the length between way too long and dipping and make sure you’re right in where you need to be,
Had your filler rod too close between dabs
2mm ss sheet lap joint
Can you commission sort art, some box aluminium section, I do about 500 a day for £9 an hour
I can't get the gold color at all and my yeacher won't pass me unless it's all gold. I came to welding school for stick, and tig is gonna get me kicked out of the school for not progressing and I haven't even got to what I l came to the school to do.
kicked out for not progressing, is a failure of the teacher, if you're actually trying. Schools are a business and they dont really make much money for kicking out paying customers. Your teacher isnt paying you, your teacher is on YOUR payroll. If you cant quite get it figured out, perhaps he has some more teaching to do. Maybe ask him for a little more direction. No need to remind him that he's being paid to do so, but he/is. I think gold is an indication of keeping the weld cool enough. Just keep trying. If they give you the boot, go somewhere else and keep trying. Don't get it twisted and let them forget who's paying who. Poor students indicate a poor instructor, more often than not. Why would you pay to be trained to do what you arent wanting to do? Its like you asked and paid for vanilla ice cream and they give you chocolate and blame you for it. Unless you're forced to go and in High School, you should get what you pay for, or go somewhere else.
Makes dark colors if filler is tooo hot
24 gauge is “thin” just sayin’
Need lovely 😍💋 💝💖❤️
