Thank you , as a beginner I have find this video very useful, and even tools you are using are minimum ,so I recommend this video for anyone to begin stainless steel welding.👍👍
Great video, you have done a very good job of explaining the methods that you use. You are obviously a master craftsman and know your trade well. Thanks for sharing and explaining so well.
You are too good. Thanks for sharing these wonderful tricks and techniques. For someone who embraces the philosophy of diy - your videos are a great starting point. Keep up the great work.
I never use stainless steel and now I’m asking why not? Your work looked absolutely stunning, you have a great eye for design as well as a good welder. You know your stuff Superb video, amazing talent...lousy music, still subscribed.
The best learning videos i've ever seen here in RU-vid Can you please make a video on how to lay out the hand rails of indoor stainless spiral stairs? Really appreciate in advance.. Thank you
I like the way and your process in welding tecniques..but i suggest that grinding the weld with grinder using flap disc #80 then #100 then last #120 ..you must set the grinder in semi flat position..it is better than what you demonstrate in your video.thank you for your very informative video..hope my suggestion will help you more..that all is base on my year experience in stainless steel fabricating and welding..
Dear it's all about the practice, the more you do the better you get. You have to give it try. If you learn from your mistakes only then you became good in that work. Thanks:)
Thankyou bro,it is very interesting video i learned some thing from it,know i wan ask you one thing i am aluminium technician and i try to do stainless steel dustbin but is it possible to weld with normal arc welder?and the chemicals and regent needed for it.Thank you for all Nice Job.
Dear brother I really love your work...its amazing and simple explanation... Please suggest you and tell me which welding machine is good for arc, tig and co2(gas and gasless) welding process? i want my own welding machine for home DIY projects but I'm really confused which one is better for me...which process is cheaper for home and good finishing specially I want work with Stainless Steel material for making my front gate of my flat, fridge and front load washing machine wheel Trolly, egg snaped swing for balcony, scissors style dining table etc... My thing I thought about...so please suggest me a good efficient welding machine for Stainless Steel welding job... Thank you
Very good VIDEO, when welding stainless steel there is a chance for rust to start if you don't Passivate the weld area, do you Passivate or what do you do ? Thank you William Ambrogio Orange county, ca. Usa.
Thanks William. Yeah I that's is definitely a necessary work to do, but I mostly skip that process everytime. If it's a tig weld then it might surely cause some porosity but in stick weld it never happened to me. So if it's a stick weld then you really don't need to clean it with acetone or some other chemicals or sometimes flap disk. If it looks clean to naked eyes just go on. But in tig passivation is necessary. Thanks for being here :)
Well done man 👍🏻, what an amazing and informative video yet very simple and exciting, can you make a separate and simple video on how to join pipes and square tubes at a different angls the right and flush way?! keep up the good work 💪🏻
If the work isn't too much than its not necessary. But if you do alot of stainless steel work then go with tig. It saves your alot of time in finishing. But again it comes to your skill, although tig is much easy compare to stick welding, but sometimes on the site job it's not always feasible to carry a tig machine along with you because of so much accessories, so it's good to have some hands-on practice with stick welder, so that your work never stops.
Dear any welding machine you can use, mine cost 5000₹ and bought 3 years ago and still working absolutely fine. The electrode varies according to the need. But mostly I use ss308 for stainless steel and E6013 for mild steel work.
So, 304 is more good if i used this stainless as my railing? And what is the thickness of atainless pipe more good for railings? Thank you so much sir.
Dear they didn't came in too much thickness. Usually around 2-2.30 mm thickness which I used. Lower than this cause issues like blow holes and warpage much faster with stick welder.It good to use vernier caliper to measure thickness. I always use whenever I purchase materials. It helps alot and yes 304 is best for railings.
You need stainless steel electrode according to the material grade. Usually SS308L works on both ss202 to ss308 grade. The ss347 works on rest of the grade. There are many others also but yeah you need different electrode.
I have purchase a 4 in 1 welding machine .it has arch ,tig,MiG with gas and MiG gasless. Which mode you recommend me to learn and use for stainless steel welding?do you think MiG gasless will be better than tig?
I think tig is far better than mig. It's good if have pulse tig option . But if not no worry tig is still better option to go with, it saves alot of finishing time compared to mig or stick.
As far as I know MiG is the latest technology of welding it came after tig as I have been told , and Tig I have told it needs to replace tips and more costly. strange Tig is better than MiG .anyway I will take your advice.i will start to learn Tig .thanks
It might be true but I personally preferred tig, surely mig is much easy to learn than tig but I go with tig if its comes to stainless. But you have both of them so you can easily compare both of them and find what suits best to your need I think. Good luck
Sorry I have got this information from other site they compare Tig vs MiG it may be useful : MiG vs Tig welder: While MIG and TIG both have different strengths and weaknesses, there is no one process better than the other; they are both used for different purposes. MIG welding is a good option when low-cost, fast welding on materials like steel and aluminum is needed. It can run tidy stainless steel welds but is primarily used for steel and aluminum. TIG welding creates high-quality welds that are expensive and slow. You typically TIG stainless steel and aluminum projects. It’s a difficult procedure to learn, but once mastered, it’s considered the most satisfying weld to perform. This is because of its accuracy, deep penetration, and highly attractive looks.
Good day sir, can I ask you about the pure stailess. When testing the stainless green to transparent is 3 0 4 and testing green to red is 2 0 2. Which ot thet two stainless is good and pure stainless Sir? Thank you so much.
Dear it's not about the purity it's about the chrome content in the stainless the higher the number is higher the chrome content and that is much resistive to moisture. 304 is much much better than 202.
How do I start polishing , because have just finished welding the bulstrades using the stainless steel and it's first project using the stainless steel pls help me out
It's 60amps with 2.4 mm electrode. But I recommend you to play with the settings. I have some electrodes which works beautifully at 52-55 amps on 16 gauge and some at 60 amps. So this is also depend upon the manufacturer and type of coating they used.
I use ss308 having 2.5 mm dia at 60-70 amps depending upon material thickness. This electrode works well for ss304 and I even uses it on 202 also. No problem at all. Good luck.
Your skill level is high, for stick welding thin S S pipe, is hard to do. What electrode are you using, 308, 309, or ?, 3/32"?, amps 50, 60 ? Thanks William. GREAT VIDEO. From Long Beach, California.
Thanks for the compliment William. I am using ss308 , 2.5 mm rod thick and for the current starting from 1.5 mm I use 60amps and from there after with increase in wall thickness I usually increases the amps from 5-7 amps. But one thing you have to notice that I am using this setting with slightly fast hand movements. The main thing is how much time you stay onto the metal surface with the electrode at a particular spot. Too much time and there is a big hole, less time you stay it will not able to fuse the material properly. So beside the current settings it's also depends upon the hand movements. Good luck:)
Dear I always uses a dc welding, never used an ac but most commonly dc is used as its more safer than the ac one. But the much better result you are going to get with tig welder compared to a stick. If I have to choose between tig and stick I go with tig just because on stainless-steel you have to do less grinding and finishing work.
