This guy's good, doesn't drag out the tips for a slow death.. thanks
I remember the first experience with a "bad bottle of gas" : The first few times I sat down to practice aluminum , all was going just fine. Then one Saturday morning I sat down for some AC practice and I could barely get the puddle to even form! I was really confused as I thought it was something I had done. I spent the next hour going over everything..... I then remembered that I have a extra 80cf bottle of 100% argon in the corner so that I won't run out on a weekend. I thought, what the heck , I'll try it and "wha-la" I was back in business. If it would have happened with a brand new bottle, you would probably realize it was the gas, but to have it happen mid way through a bottle was a real learning experience. Thanks for the refresher Mark.
I've heard of this before, but it does sound weird to have the gas composition change mid-bottle. I would sure like to hear a credible scientific explanation of how this is even possible. I understand that you can get bad gas from a leak in the plumbing, but I would think such a leak would have to be right at the torch head to suck in any air. Assuming you can solve this, you should be able to TIG weld silver amalgam repairs if only the patient would sit still... 😁
All week I was doing aluminum welding practice and now down to 400psi left in the bottle, then today after only welding for 5mins, all my welds turned to crap. I fitted a new tungsten, cup, cleaned the crap out of the aluminum , checked flow rates and weld still bad. After reading your comment I think there is something wrong with my argon?
@Dennis Young Yes, CO2 liquefies at 900 psi while argon remains a compressed gas. I can think of only one mechanism so far that could explain why the mix would change mid-bottle. If there were some *liquid* CO2 present in an argon cylinder, it would become an increasing percentage of the mix as the bottle is emptied. If there were an abrupt change in cylinder temperature (as from sunlight?) then the partial pressure of the CO2 would spike and abruptly become a greater portion of the gas drawn off. This seems like a stretch to me, but it's the only thing I can think of right now. I've used CO2 a lot for MIG welding steel, but always Argon for all TIG. It would be interesting to see someone try CO2 for TIG just to see how bad it is. I don't want to mess up my torch so I don't want to risk it. I'd like some else to do that. 😁 Maybe YOU?!!? 😆
OMG, THANK YOU!!! I'm new to TIG welding and I've been banging my head against the wall for weeks for a bad bottle of gas! I tried the last few days to find people who could show the problem I was having and 99.9% of the "before" pictures looked 100x better than mine, much less the after. I knew I had something else wrong. And your bad gas example looked EXACTLY like what I've been fighting.
The local welding supply place took it and exchanged it, and it was an IMMEDIATE night and day difference! I feel like now I can actually start learning instead of wondering WTF I'm doing wrong. I mean, there'll be a lot of that too, but at least my equipment isn't the problem now
Never heard of "bad gas" before ....never ever experienced "bad gas" before. This is a "controlled industry". Deviating from "standards" is a felony. WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?
.
I had bad gas a while ago but it didn't affect my welds at all!
Hahaha I'm still using the same tungsten from couple years ago too! 🤪 I almost forget what it's like to sharpen one, it's been so long. Even on AC at 260amps! bad gas? I dont even use gas! ;) yes, i thought ur comment was funny
Ass gas does not apply
@@nyc4lifeamityvillecnc698 😂😂
Stinky!
What he surely means was that even a good gas couldn't save his welds 😅
We need more Mark Winchester videos! KEEP THEM COMING!!!
Excellent straight to the point, helpful tips, great demonstration and good quality video. Thanks
Best instructional vid on tig I've ever seen, clear and straight to point. Thank you!
This addressed my questions so far as a beginner. Thanks. The examples showed exactly what my welds look like.
Good advice. I've had all of the issues mentioned at different times and never really understood the why. Thanks a bunch
One of the best I've seen in a long time. I don't weld aluminum often and keep forgetting these four good basics between projects... .
Good points. Good presentation. I recently started following several major weld companies just to see what they put out there. Everlast really seems to do the best job so far.
Wow, best education I have seen about TIG welding aluminum.
Nice set of experiments / demonstrations. This is super useful for us self-taught hobby welding guys. It's nice to be able to look at a weld and have some ideas about what to change and why.
Telling me about looking in the melt edge of the puddle, was one key point I am thankful for.
Good point.
Dude - probably the best aluminum tips for beginner (me) - you literally described all the things I do wrong ... and have wondered why. 10/10
More coming. Make sure to sub.
Fantastically helpful for learners. Thanks.
Thanks for the tips, I really enjoy this kind of help. Weld mean weld green!
Super interesting. Thank you for the upload dudes!
Спасибо! Интересно и познавательно!!!
I really appreciate the tips,well described and to the point,great video thank you!
I have watched hundreds of welding videos, and this is one of the best...Bravo and Cheers from Florida, Paul
This was great! Thank you very much!
This is actually a really good video with some great info….. Thank you! I haven’t picked up a tig torch in 30-35 years, no doubt in my mind I can weld it but wanted to look and watch a few videos and this video covered everything I needed. Thank you!
I am just starting out with aluminum and this was very helpful!
That’s a great video, I’ve learnt a lot from watching it. Thanks for sharing

Great video, thank you for all the information.
helpful video. thanks!
Fantastic video. Thank you
Thank you for the tips.
Watching this hurts but it's good instruction. Every welder needs to see this just to start then as a refresher many times to remember for muscle memory.
"Hurts" as in seeing the methods being practiced incorrectly for instructional purposes but great round of instruction, 100%.
Really good video. I've had similar issues in Welding school
Just had this happen to me. I was getting frustrated couldn't figure out what was going on so decided to switch the bottles and that was it!! crazy!
tyvm, most helpful
This video helped a lot actually
I watch this video from time to time to remind me. Thanks for the video.
Good clean advice
Thanks dude I literally tried everything I could didn't realize my tungsten was too far out. New to tig welding and no ones at work to help me so I appreciate it 🙏
Nice presentation, thank you.

Dear friend, thank you for your dedication and excellent teaching of the gtaw process, greetings
Thank you very much, super helpful :)
great camera work, really clear explanation
Very informative, thanks 👍
Thank you very much for illustrating the problems of people who want to learn to weld aluminum correctly. the most difficult for me is keeping the burner at the right distance and feeding the wire. greetings.
Excellent video and explanations
Loved it thanks
Great info.👍
No-fluff content and great camera work. Bad gas is the worst. Been there done that...
Great video thanks
Thanks
Learned something new man, reactive and non-reactive metals, and the need to have the filler rod in or out of the shielding gas zone. Thanks man!
thank you for this very informative video. now i think i can pinpoint my problems.
Thank you
Nice one Mark, think I'll go practice now 👍
Great video and explication!👋👋👋👋👋
Awesome video
Nicely explained good job 👍
Thanks!! I’ve been melting my filler rod, now I know why.
Very nice explanation great tips
Brilliant video thank you 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Good tips
Really good tips mate 👍🏻🇦🇺
Good job ❤
Great vid brah
Thanks Mark, i will try tomorrow that 💪😃
Dude, great work. This video is awesome as I've been struggling with aluminum but this just answered all my issues. Bad gas 🤣
Nice .. keep going .. good presention
really nice presentation and very well understandable. I am having some of the issues, trying to weld thin aluminum tubes for a bicycle frames. Always maintaining the right torch angle on a small diameter tube is amazingly difficult - especially in combination with a tight torch distance. Finally - your worst weldings still look better than my good ones ;)
I can help you
Спасибо за ваше видео даже разговаривая на разных языках все ясно и понятно
I went from steel to aluminum and basically used the same methods. I figured they were the same.
1. Travel Angle was wrong. Mostly the filler melting too quickly.
2. I was pulling up and even if I started good, yeah…wide pool.
3. Not cooling the plate often enough. Aluminum does not like a lot of heat when ur just stacking for practice.
This video helped me a lot. I’d say just from these I went from 4/10 to a 6 - 6 1/2. With not experience. Thank you for this vid.
