  • Whats up guys? Today we are talking about How To Get Colorful GTAW / TIG Welds on Stainless steel tube and other materials. This can relate to the automotive Fabrication industry when it comes to exhausts and turbo kits.
    Lately the popularity of Pie Cut exhausts and Colorful Tig Welds has shot through the roof in the TIG Welding Industry. People have came to love the look and feel behind these Turbo Kits and Stainless Steel Exhausts..
    In many industries Oxidation is not acceptable.. It is either not allowed On Tig Welded parts or the Oxidation must be removed with Passivation.. Basically an electrified rainbow removal wand.
    I will Explain how Oxidation works and how you will be able to Achieve pretty colors in your decently long runs on Stainless Steel without harming the structure of Alloy. Oxidation exists where we can see it or not but the thickness of that layer determines the color when it comes to light transmission.
    Over heating your Stainless Tube and Causing it to Be heat soaked when Welding can cause some serious issues with Oxidation and far worse things. Always be cautious about your amperage and try your best to move with an Adequate Welding Travel speed. Make sure you allow your material to cool when welding to avoid any damage to the part in some cases..Argon doesn't make up for excessive heat in the weld pool. This is key to keeping the material as cool as possible to achieve successful Colored or Colorless Tig Welds in the process of Gas Tungsten Arc Welding.
    Gas lens kits have really revolutionized the welding world and there isn't anything wrong with small cups.. I just prefer using larger cups for aesthetic stainless welding and this what I'm getting across here. Learn the basics of oxidation and the key to getting colorful or colorless welds here!

    This is the only actual video on the science behind color I have seen. THANK YOU!!! I think I will make the plunge and buy a furic but I hate changing my cups and weld really tight corners and always want more stick out so I think I lll just use that fupa for my aluminum too.

    • @hourglassingenuity103
      @hourglassingenuity103  3 года назад

      Thanks for watching! Definitely do not use the FUPA for aluminum.. it’s not what it is designed for and you’ll toast the diffuser with AC current. Not only that but you can’t control oxide cleaning line width of anything else with a cup that large on aluminum. Trust me, you’ll just need to switch cups.

  • @andrewfordham5883

    Another dead informative video on welding! I still remember your one on ac balance when I look at an aluminium job. This one is especially useful as I haven’t yet seen one on the actual cause of discolouration. I love your scientific approach, it fulfils my ocd complex. Right now I rock a ceramic 8 cup on a ck flexloc. Cups are all I have right now but the torch is a new addition to my arsenal and combined with a foot pedal my tig game has improved unimaginably. The control is amazing. Untill now I’ve used a trigger torch made by Kemppi. Loved it but oh my a foot pedal rocks!

    My go-to for carbon steel is a Furick #8 or #10. I prefer the Pyrex cups for increased visibility. I try to use the least amount of gas possible and for carbon steel, as long as I’m not getting porosity, I’m all good. I see people running the #16 on carbon steel and it just seems like overkill. On Aluminum, I’m with Crummy, #5 with a standard collet body.

    • @hourglassingenuity103
      @hourglassingenuity103  3 года назад +1

      Yeah, I’ll use a #12 on mild steel.. I’ll also use a #20 on titanium so it just depends. If you have a dewar and gas isn’t a huge deal it’s easier to just leave the cfh cranked and the same cup on no matter what. This is mostly about stainless though ✊🏻. Yep, #4, 5 and 6 standard cups are the go to for aluminum depending on the thickness and target oxide cleaning line and tow width. Thanks for watching!

    I've recently switched to standard length gas lense setup with ceramic cup. I've tried size 8 and 12. I started with number 12 cup, kept the gas flow untouched and had major problems with gas coverage. It was fizzling , the electrode and base material heavily oxidized. I increased the gas flow but no improvement. Then I turned it way down to around 4-5 L/min and it improved, but it still slightly oxidizes during ignition of the arc. After that I've tried out number 8 cup without any problems. Do you have an idea what could cause the problems with size 12? To me a gas flow of 4 L/min seems a little low and it still has some kind of problems with gas coverage with that setting. After many years of welding stainless with regular setup I wanted to switch to gas lense of a big diameter to get rid of oxidation but I was disappointed with the first results. Any help is appreciated.

      Blues are hot. You need to pull the gas away at just the right time when the material is hot. You’ll get a feel for the colors and when you pull coverage to achieve them.

      Haha no worries! Personally I’d run about 100 amps on the machine and use the pedal to acquire the toe width and heat Input I want.. I’d flow 25 cfh through the #12 with about .750” of stock out. ✊🏻

    There’s a confusion I have when I weld stainless and my weld come out blue or purple some OG’s say I’m too cold and the inspectors say I’m welding too hot what do you say

    • @hourglassingenuity103
      @hourglassingenuity103  3 года назад +3

      I explained this in the video but, when your welds and blue and purple you’re base materials temperature is hot when it’s exposed to atmosphere when your post flow stops.. blue and purples vary from 400-600 degrees Fahrenheit. That means you are too hot when your weld is exposed to atmosphere.. so you need a longer post flow or you need to reduce amperage if you want lighter colors like straws and deep golds.

    • @sleepy900
      @sleepy900 3 года назад +2

      Thanks man I will try to lower my amperage and make sure the base metal is not too hot

    • @kf8575
      @kf8575 3 года назад

      If your amps are too low, it causes you to have to slow down, which in turn ups the heat input.
      Solution......Wire brush👍 if it passes xray, corrosion test and hardness tests, theyre most probably "inspectors" that have typically never picked up a torch, just go by a textbook.
      Tell them to do it there and then, to demonstrate.
      They usually wind their necks in then lol

    • @hourglassingenuity103
      @hourglassingenuity103  3 года назад

      No. Not at all.. I’ve done plenty of Xray aerospace work and I’ve never had a problem with stops and starts.. a positioner is nice but not necessary. But, these are stainless tube welds for automotive fab and most of this stuff requires stops and starts because you can’t turn an entire exhaust on a turn table and these definitely don’t require x ray.

    And if your weld on stainless steel is dis coloured its shit,you have burnt the chromium out and left an iron rich surface under the discoloured oxide film which WILL rust,keep your gas low and move fast-discolouration is a shit weld END OF!!!!!
