Great demonstration for those welders looking to get deeper into alluvium.... This guy, is a great demonstrator!!!!..... Kudos!
As one of his students Matt is a super solid instructor and the guy is famous now. I wonder if he'll remember us student with his success 🤣
I have to remind myself, the "insta-famous/youtube welders" that I admire and love, NO ONE else knows who they are...unless they are a welder and REALLY into their craft. Lol sorta like, why I have no idea who the world's #1 video game player is, because I dont care about that lol. but I will say, this Matt guy just went up a dozen notches in my book for his content, style, knowledge, thorough explaining, and attitude. Plus I'm a thick aluminum type of guy lol my favorite. Nice job brother!
Can u send me bos some of ur welding machine🙂
Exelente vídeo!!!! 👨🏻🏭
Es increíble la diferencia de la soldaduras utilizando el gas correcto el calentamiento previo al aplicarse la soldaduras, algún videos sobre el afilado del tugteno para novatos estaría genial 👍🏻
Saludos @weldtube
Great explanation Brother. Congratulations on the new spot on the Weld Tube Crew. 🤘🔥
Nice work weldtube!!!
For those of us that can't afford an $800 bottle of helium to do a small aluminum project while we have a welder at the house you can use argon. You can start out by taking the TIG torch and without adding wire run a preheat and etching pass down the weld area. Then instead of welding 1/8 inch step at a time. Go two steps forward one step back feed The wire two steps forward one step back feed the wire. It is a lot easier to do what he's doing and he's doing a professional job of it. I have added helium it does make a difference but that will can be made without it if need be.
awesome vid
Muy Bueno!!! Saludos desde Argentina
very nice welding.thank for sharing my frnnd,, im your simple suporters🇵🇭
Well i just start searching info about gas and you guys put it on yt 2 days ago i think im lucky 🤣🤣
Great video! Let's do some copper Nickel pipe!
Great Infor
I used to weld in the nuclear field and Inconel and monel were very interesting metals to weld and I never heard of them till I worked there
How did they weld compared to steel/stainless/aluminum?
I used to weld inconel and monel in heat exchanger and pressure vessels .
@@ieatslag5947 Incredibly sticky, gummy, and grimey.
Inconel welds just like stainless, except it has a touch higher surface tension, a bit sluggish like all nickel alloys, and all sorts of floaties swimming around the puddle covering up what you're doing.
I'd like to see aluminum repairs done with SMAW.
Thank you, we will put it on to do list👍
Excelentes videos Maestros 👌 saludos desde México.🤘
Saludos de Houston hasta Mexico!
You got my interest with the Helium mix and the comparison, but I didn't give it a thumbs up because I felt the video was incomplete. I would have liked to see a sample done with straight argon and preheat to compare with the helium sample. Also it would be nice if you had broken each sample so we could see the penetration in the weld. I would also have liked to see a bit more detail in how you mixed the two gases. One other point to note, your videos are going international, so can I suggest when quoting measurements such as temperature, length, volume and weights, you also include metric units. I don't know what a Ferinheight is ;)
Would you like fries with that too? Hahaha
so how about doing preheat and straight argon and see any difference. and if i cannot get medical grade helium would the grade of helium they used to fill balloons work? that worked be an interesting video😁👍
I see alot of questions asking about purging what metals need purged and what doesn't why would you purge vs not. 90% of what I do is mild steel but would be great to arm myself with more knowledge and a video to show when it comes up.
6G Aluminum pipe with extended bevel would be a cool video to see
BTW great video😁👍
Maybe do some aluminum pipe welding and show the different techniques of welding anodized and mild aluminum schedule 40 pipe for marine applications.
Ayyy i was a nuclear weapons specialist in the airforce aswell
Great video. Are you familiar with RA 602?
You'd be much better off with a cylinder of Argon-Helium Mix, either 75% Argon balance Helium, or 60-40, as their is no way to know what your mix is by using a Y connection, as the properties of Helium are different than Argon, it's a crapshoot guessing with a Y valve.
Regarding preheating aluminum, you need to be very careful in not exceeding 250°, I prefer 200° max, and unless you are using a Tempstik or an LED thermometer you are just guessing at what your preheat temperature is. T6 Temper is done at 350°-400° and if you happen to preheat above 300° you have destroyed the T6 properties before even striking an arc.
Indonesia is listening
PERFECT !!! USES AC ? NEEDED BEFORE RUBBING ?
6061-T6 2" pipe .250 wall aluminum 6g
Running 75He / 25 Argon right about 25 cfm
Filler rod 4943
I was really hoping to see the etch. You cut the pieces but then you just talked about them.
Sorry, video editor forgot to include in there.
Haven’t seen any videos about “mix tig”, alternating between ac and dc
Great suggestion! Prolly because Everlast is basically the only "domestic machine" in U.S. that has it, and it's only on pulse. There a guy called @TigHappens(Johannes) on instagram who has an nice Italian machine which has that feature on it. It's very useful for people who do alot of castings and repair work. Because it allows you to have the penetration of the DC current(helpful on thick cast aluminum) but the cleaning action required to keep puddle relatively clean. People sometimes use amplitude (90%EN/10%EP) to repair cast iron as well, with aluminum bronze. Same concept, just enough cleaning action to help puddle flow and stay clean. Anyway lol take care!
Sir, what kind of argon that you used for aluminum welding?
Mas videos en español porfavor
What about. Videos about getting into welding. What skills to work to get an interview. What tricks to ace an interview, field soecific
I'd like to see a comparison a straight AC current vs. AC + DC mix setup
Is this process with a foot pedal or lift arc seen the gas valve on the torch
hi can I welding cast iron or aluminum cylinder head cars by dc tig?
Te falto mas amperaje 😎👍🏼
Can I tig weld aluminum with my sa250?
Just use 100% helium (heliarc) DC- for thicker material some skill and a wire brish you are good . 100% argon for the rest. Dynasty welder makes a half skilled welder a 3/4 welder.
well that's why it's called heli-arc because helium was used at first
I'm just learning so I'm asking a question hopefully I'll get an answer I was under the impression that you wanted to keep your balance and your hurts at a certain evenness or at a certain percentage I should say like say 60/40 or you know within I think 20 or so percent of each other I mean in other words I guess you don't want to have like 80 and 80 to work they would rather you have like 80 and the other one will be like you know 50 or you know something like that anyway I might be misunderstanding that I think that this cat right here has explained it better than anybody to me so far of what each one of them does instead of just saying you don't want this to be no more than that and pretty much leave it at that and that's all you know he's just what some guy said he actually told you what it actually does higher hurts means less heat going in and lower hurts means a lot more heat that that's invaluable man I did not even know that so but if you can answer that is there a certain ratio that you want to keep the the balance and the frequency a certain ratio apart from each other I'd appreciate if you could let me know thank you so much for the video learning a lot
What are those quick connects on that dynasty
Can you guys provide and videos related to aerospace welding codes and procedures. I would love to get a closer look at that side of the industry, seeing as SpaceX is now operating in Texas. Would LOVE to see what it takes to manufacture a "Star Ship" haha. Thanks, appreciate Y'all.
We had done a video a few months back on SpaceX welding techniques, but there corporate headquarters made us take it down. Freaking Elon😂
Weld tube can u do a video on welding roll cage tube with tig.
Yes, we will put it on to do list👍
I'd love to see a subarc video if possible
There's really nothing to see. The wire comes off of a spool is covered by a granular type flux you can see an orange glow as it melts. It cools the slag peels up the flux is vacuumed up and recycled. Over and over and over and over it's like watching a tick tock video for eight hours
@@eagle3351 I know that, but I'm more interested in the setup then the actual welding.
@@MrMilky927 I've done brass overlay on a tube sheet 5 ft in diameter 4 in thick with inch and a half wide strip brass. The sub arc for welding vessel seams was sometimes run with a flux strip backing strip, it was sometimes welded on the inside or the outside and back gouged on the other side for a 100% weld. The ones that ran the welder all day had already written up notebooks say for instance half inch plate it would have a setting for a round seam and a straight seam it would call out the bevel it would call out the wire speed it would call out the amperage all the specifications that were needed for that particular weld there are too many variables but that's basically the way it's done.
@@eagle3351 hmm seams pretty interesting. But I'm sure after you get everything adjusted it would be pretty boring just knocking the powder off. It might be interesting to me just because I never saw it in person.
@@MrMilky927 if that is your only job is to be a subarc welder it would be boring for me. I do fitting and welding I'm certified on a lot of different kinds of welding I get bored very easily. So I'm better off sticking with the challenges and sub arc welding once in awhile when it's necessary. The night that I sub arced brass for 8 hours with canister respirators on too exhaust fans behind me pushing the smoke away from me and a big wall exhaust fan in front of me pulling the smoke away from me I got galvanized poisoning it felt like I had been beaten with a baseball bat for 3 days I was sick. I will leave the sub arc welding to the sub arkers lol
Indonesian welder,
Pleass tutorial welding redress stabilizer tool proses
Just a quick question.. My welding machine can go all way up to 17000H.. What can I do with that benefit?

Welded pipe with this gas. After welding with it sounded like mutchkin.
😂
Fuse steel to aluminum
I welded to six and a half ounce glass Coke bottle to a piece of half inch steel a flat fillet with a 1/8" 7018. 1971 MDTA welding school
Sir please send lesson at kannada language
am not impress you looks like me trying to up dated my aluminum tig skills
😂 🤦🏻♂️
@@Warriorweldingtxgreat vid! I’m very interested in some of that ultra high purity helium! I’m willing to pay good money if you can let me know how to get it or where.
does it have to be ultra hight purity helium? can i use the stuff they use to fill up balloons?
No it don't.
Doesn't have to be UHP, but most of the times the stuff they sell for balloons isn't pure helium and welds terrible. Standard welding grade will work fine.
Helium has gotten really expensive so these days some of the helium supplied to fill balloons is mixed with a bunch of air or nitrogen. Probably just enough helium to float a balloon for a short time, so that's way too much non-helium to work well for welding.
