This video is about tig welding a stainless steel water cooling manifold for a local factory.
ideally square tubing would have saved time but the 1/8" (3.2mm) 304L sheet was already in the shop so was cut on the PlasmaCam and cleaned up using a Burr King sander.
I used aluminum backing along with chill bars to avoid sugaring on the back side and to limit discoloration and distortion.
200 amps for quick burst tack welds and then 100 amps for the welding.
3/32 (2.4mm) 2% lanth tungsten and 1/16" (1.6mm) er308L filler rod with a #8 gas lens and 20cfh argon
A part 2 video will show welding the threaded nipples and purging.

Jody, thanks for your time put into these videos. I'm a hobby welder with only one working eye, and the information you give over the excellent video helps me tremendously. Thanks for helping me, and everyone else out. This video just made me realize why my stainless TIG looks cooked a lot of times. :)
I've learned so much watching Jody. I successfully welded razor blades today at work. Definitely feels good to be seeing progress
I absolutely love your videos. One of the most exciting things for me to watch despite not welding for over a decade.
Much appreciated watching your processes from a non welding viewer. Your absolute professionalism simply shows me there are still people out there who not only enjoy their work but take the time to produce quality and I really do mean quality work. Thanks again.
Jody, thank you for the help! I am going to be welding stainless steel in my college welding shop on Monday. Really enjoy your videos! Keep up the great work!
Trying to make a stainless cup holder for a teacher in my vocational school. This video really helped me when trying to figure out how to weld it all together. Really appreciate it.
Jodi when I was teaching welding at VGCC in Louisburg NC I had to repair my metal containers and fences because of theft also and I did it just like you guys did it. Great Work
Such an awesome video. Short, to the point, well spoken, and full of knowledge on the craft.
Thanks for all you do Jody. My amateur welding jobs all start with a review of your expertise.
Who needs netflix and chill when you can have backing and chill
Agreed!
I really like your clamps you used in this video. The yellow handled one and the telescopic long clamp. That looked like it really helped. I’ve been MIG welding a long time and really wanting to get into TIG welding. I’ve seen a bunch of your videos and your welds are hands down badass. And I wanna do that some of my builds. Keep up the great work and I look forward to checking out your website.
Wanted to say thanks for the tips I just started welding about a mint ago and my instructor told me to check out your videos and it's helped so much he told me 2 weeks ago dude your a welder you are way far ahead I've blown through stick welding and mig is too easy I started this week Tig welding and started on aluminum lol but I'm starting to get the hang of it thanks to you and my instructors tips hopefully soon I'll be ordering my Tig rig setup and accessories from you thanks again keep teaching brother they really do help
Great tips brother!! As a industrial pipe welder by trade I really appreciate your videos and the products you provide on weldmonger!! Great stuff and thank you!!😊👊👊
Excellent! I am a brand new hobbyist TIG welder and really appreciate the content.
Thanks for putting your Measurements into metric as well!
great video Jody . i have been using one of your stubby gas lens kits for awhile now , it is an excellent kit ,i definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of getting one
nicely quick and clean explanations without a lot of filler. Got my sub from that alone. I'm looking to maybe completely change up what I do for a living and welding for craft and art is on my mind. I had a great friend who was pretty well known in North Carolina who welded as a profession and was a recognized large sculpture maker regionally: Jerry Clemens. I plan to watch many more of your vids if they are as clean and concise in their explanations as this one. Most youtube people talk to damn much.
beautiful.
This Old Tony I love you channel bro! Jody’s too!
I would love to know how you both get those beautiful arc shots. I am trying to up my game on my little channel. And a big thank to both of you for the time and effort that goes into making good content.
This ol guy lol... Fuckin love the channel!
I absolutely fucking love you bro
You’re beautiful!
Jody, you're on top of the game with your camera work and arc shots. Big welding equipment manufacturers take note!
Jody ... your right. There are many grades of stainless. Most people think if a magnet doesn't stick to it it's stainless. There are grades in the
400 s.s. Category that a magnet will stick to. It is also heat treatable. When you get down into the 300 grades. a magnet won't stick to. E.g. Frying pans are mostly magnetic ... you really need to know the material grade. Thanks for all the videos. Your the best.
Great Job, and your voice and pronunciation is great. Thanks!
Thanks for great video and the response to my letter....... I bought those filler rods...... I REALLY appreciate your help!!!
I really like the foot pedal that came with my Lincoln Square wave 200. I use a similar pedal at work. They have a really nice Miller syncrowave 200. Learned on a small Miller 160 stl lift start at work. The foot pedal definitely takes some getting use to but once practiced with foot pedal you will never look back
I used the stubby collet set up at a job and it was easier to control. Im currently waiting for my stubby kit to arrive.
You’re the only guy i’ll watch on youtube on welding tips
Very professional as usual. Excellent video. Thanks.
I have just spent the gruelling part of my life learning how to tig weld aluminium to a satisfactory standard. All the videos I watched were from people highly skilled and they missed the key parts. Parts they would have forgot through the decades, and not reminded because they long since left them behind. Jody does a good job though. Covers nearly everything. Thumbs up Jody
Awesome video, I'm a certified pipe and structural welder and always find useful tips anytime I watch your video's. keep up the great work!
John Higginbotham Most professional welders I know refuse to watch this channel. Too much pride.
Matthew Erwin professional aluminium welder here. Love this channel, every now and then, there's always something new to learn.
why don't you certify this pipe... with your lips.
Beautiful weld!
Thanks for all the great videos jody. Hoping soon to buy a couple things off weldmonger to help out with videos and just get some good gear to help learn.
UA steanfitter apprentice from local 22 buffalo ny. Thank you for your videos!
That was great. Thanks for the tips!
Great work!!!
Greetings from Bulgaria!
:)
Very nice welding run
hey Jody another great video as always but could you make an in-depth video on downhill stick welding. In-depth meaning rod size, amperage, material thickness, and other such things that may be involved. Thanks for another helpful video
Great stuff there Jody. You're the man
The only thing I would add is that 304 is 18% chromium and the chromium oxide layer at the surface is what makes stainless steel stainless. When you deplete the chromium to about 11% it is no longer is stainless. The reason for 304L is to keep carbon from tying up the chromium making chromium carbides and every carbon atom ties up 3 chromium atoms. Very good series. I have welded stainless and high nickel alloys for about 30 years and find it interesting to watch you instruct. You don't realize how much you know until you start training someone else.
Impressive as always mate, thanks again
Very nice Jody, thank you!
Man let me tell you stainless was the only process that took me the longest to get my head around god bless my instructor for coaching me to get it just right I would always run too damn cold then one day I watched him nail it down on his machine and I ran a nice beautiful rainbow bead 😎
this guy is always solving my problems at work god bless him.
Another great video Jody!
Thank you for the tips 🙏
Great tips! Much appreciated!
Great stuff Jody
Awsome videos lots of thanks learned a lot from you
Great helpful videos thank you!
It's always a good idea to get a larger cup size. ❤
Always outstanding vids thanks a lot !
Hey so Jodi I am only 13 learning how to weld. I was wanting you to do a video of you showing beginners, how to stop and start again so thought leaving a big blob of metal
Excellent video
Great video and on point with Tig welding stainless.
thanks, you do some awesome work!
txsviking I would love to see you on their podcast
weldingtipsandtricks what do you say Jody can we get Txsviking on there
That's awesome! I didn't realize Weldmonger was yours! I'm taking Intro to GTAW this semester and I ordered a Tig Finger from you! I've been using it and I friggin love it! I'll be ordering more of them so I never have to be without it (when I need it of course).
You'r awesome man, i learn a lot from you.
Nice job!
Very nice tig weld
Love your vidios from down under.
"May i have your clamps" should be a t shirt. Seriously, without a business account, how does one like myself aquire stronghand clamps as diverse of a collection as you? Specifically the f clamp with yellow easy squeeze ratchet handle shown in this video. Also, thanks for getting me through school. I had some great instructors and still do, but your passion for the trade its something we all need
Sensei. I've learned a lot by watching your videos and I thank you for that but It's a shame that you don,t send your products to mexico.
This video helped me tremendously! I love your videos and keep up the good work!
Thank you very much..4educating me👍
Hi Jody,
Thanks for all the Videos, Ultra informative and very helpful.
I am a complete Amateur TIG welder and have pretty much been learning from your videos which i seem to have come quite a long way with them.
I usually weld small projects out of 25x25 mm Square tube with a thickness of 1.5 mm. I am getting some pretty reasonable welds going, But ive noticed on the INSIDE of the tube, (Where i can see the weld penetrating through) i am getting a bit of rust there. In the video above you make reference to a high purity argon purge, What is meant by that?
In my wild imagination i am imagining putting a tube from the argon tank and allowing it to flow through the tube to "shield" the inside of the tube?
Hope i made sense explaining my issue?
Thanks again for all the awesome videos.
Good job brother 👍
Jodi:
I have a medical device background so what I say here is probably super overkill for this video. "Keeping stainless stainless" in that industry is done by:
First make sure the parts are truly clean. Always using the low carbon version of the alloy such as 304L in this case. This prevents carbide precipitation at the grain boundaries. Otherwise the boundaries are no longer stainless and that is where corrosion begins.
After processing, passivate the area with the proper chemical - usually 20% nitric acid in most cases. Afterwards, avoid scratching the surface especially using iron tools like which you warn to use only a stainless wire brush. The chemistry of passivation is argued but folks, but it does remove all rustable free iron from the surface
Most of my medical welding experience we used built-in small flanges at the spots to be welded so no filler rod was necessary.
One summer break I worked at Westinghouse where they built the nuclear reactor pressure vessels. (I guess that dates me!) The alloy was 304L and they used 308 filler - as you did- if I remember correctly. I never saw a passivating process there and I wonder what -if anything- they did to it after welding.
I have seen many of your other videos and you know all this stuff, but I thought I would just mention this because it does help keeping stainless stainless.
Bill
I need your help bro
Thanks for the tips!👍
Great video mate , thank you. Ross
Thanks for amazing video
Nice and clean
Great video. Thanks
How easy is it for someone from the 🇬🇧 to purchase from your website as I love the look of your products?
Cheers pal
Awesome video again
Exactly !!!!! Hey Jody how many cfh do u use on SS ??? Thanks for all the great videos
Could you make a video on TIG welding some sort of pipe support please preferably a support with a pipe clamp
Nice video Jody!
Hi Jody.
Any chance you could show us how to weld bandsaw blades?
Your welding is impeccable. I want to start learning how to tig weld with my everlast welder but just need more spare time.
Hey Jody I was curious to see what type of welder would you recommend that can weld Tig and stick for under 1000$ thank you.
Thanks for the video. I like to tig weld stainless steel. First tried it yesterday and it was super satisfying.
Your rod to pool accuracy is second to non I just know I would light up the ally trying this
The glove slap with the finger up was unexpected and greatly welcomed 😂
Wonderful video brother. I only got a cheap Chinese DC Tig welder.
You can see it changing just behind your Torch in the Video. 👍🏼
Great job
Hello there the video is AWSOME!!!!!
can I ask you guys wich type of boots mr Collier wear?
More of stainless steel videos please, its so easy to burn it. This was helpful :)
Munweerg
I weld alot of stainless sheet metal at work, usually rolled and butt welded (working on a good purge fixture) but struggle a bit with .060 or thinner in getting a good bead with even penetration. Don't really have a question but maybe you could roll some rings and make a vidio.
ART!!....Nothing less....!!
brilliant video thankyou, i have a question about the filler bar, would this still make a product made out 304 stainless food safe if using 308 filler bar ? (as in to store drinking water?) thanks
Good job
I found that for thinner stainless, high amperage and very fast travel speed is the way to go... Often laywire and 100 amps for 1mm stainless, and pulse to let you move at reasonable speed...
Good vid, thanks!
You are the man!
Always great content thumbs up !#!!!!!!!!
Is there a video or document that tells where to use what cup size for different scenarios ?? What cup sizes do i need as a beginner and where do i use them ???
thanks for this 👌
Hola exelentes videos que hizo Este año muchas gracias por tu ayuda y colaboración pude mejorar las técnicas de soldadura yo no soy un soldador profesional pero trato de aprender lo que más pueda para mejorar ,le deseo un buen año y muchas gracias ,lo único que me gustaría sería que le pudieran sub títulos a los vídeos mi inglés no es muy bueno y mucha teoría no la puedo interpretar ,un saludo desde Mendoza Argentina
Excellent stuff as usual Jody. Excellent learning experience! I noticed your boots in the video. What kind of boots are they?
It did help; thank you.
Good coalescence Jody.
Thank you ,you deserve it!.
