I never realised just how important post flow was and where I’ve been going wrong lol great advice,cheers.

@JoelArseneaultYouTube 3 года назад

Huge thanks for this video. I'm new to TIG welding, bought my first TIG at the end of December and have used it a few times. I had a day of successful welding aluminum and then the next day was a TOTAL DISASTER. I spent several hours making a total mess, dipping tungsten, struggling to stick anything together. Turns out that, in my frustration from a few dips, I had let my torch hygiene go to hell. My arc was all over the place, and this was a real problem as I was welding .080" to .5 ". Yesterday, after watching your video, I laughed at what a poor job I was doing taking care of my torch / tungsten, paid attention to the details and immediately, the arc and my welds started doing what I wanted them to do. I'm still a crappy welder, but I'm now a crappy welder that can make some progress. An additional piece of advice I would give, but never take myself, is that if things aren't going well, don't just keep trying.... walk away, reassess the situation and come back later.

Much better video than I anticipated the title doesn’t give it justice. Thank you for the information and nice artwork

@PacificArcTigWelding 4 года назад

Thank you! Very kind words 🙏 Glad you enjoyed! Cheers :)

@melgross 4 года назад

One thing about bench grinders. You really should use a clean wheel. That means one of two things. One is to clean the wheel with a diamond wheel dresser. These can be bought on eBay, or Amazon for about $15. Not a lot of money to ensure a clean tip. If you use that wheel for anything other than tungsten, then you should clean that wheel every time. If you are willing to dedicate one wheel for just the tungsten, I recommend you buy an aluminum oxide wheel in white or pink, as those will work best with tungsten. And if you will buy a wheel just for this, buy a 120 grit wheel as it gives a noticeably finer and smoother tip. It takes a few seconds longer to grind, but it’s worth it.

@cvytnioy56dvfuj4g7 Год назад

I have been welding for about 35 years, but I have never used a tig. I recently bought a 200 amp AC/DC machine with pulse. Really loving watching and learning. Starting to get good results on stainless. My poor eye sight was an issue but recently put a magnifier in my helmet which has helped, I can now see my molten pool, huge advantage. Great information, really enjoyed it. Thanks

Post flow not only protects the tungsten it also protects the weld at the end of a run.

Am i the only one that has been taught to specifically never wear gloves on any sort or bench grinder? Cant imagine getting caught in one 😮 i love this guys content otherwise been watching a lot since i got into technical school and started tig

@mrdddeeezzzweldor5039 Год назад

Good pointers on contamination issues that are generally overlooked, particularly in regard to tungsten quality.

@ericfransen2049 Год назад

Love your videos and explanations. I've been welding for about 30 years as a hobby and always looking to improve. Also, your artwork is amazing!!!

@Alteisen_ 2 года назад

Thanks a lot for this very VERY enlightening lesson! I am TIG-welding for about two years now (every now and then, as a hobby...) and I always wondered about my tungstens getting grey and dull although I didn't dip all day (or, to be honest, at least not within the last half an hour...). Thx from Munich, Germany! Markus

@tomfromstthomas 2 года назад

Clean off aluminum in a bath of Lye ( sodium hydroxide) . Same for plugged endmills and die grinder burrs. ALUM bath for steel

@brianhoefer7148 2 года назад

I take a box knife and filet the majority of aluminum contamination from the tungsten then spin it in a drill with 120gt paper to remove all visible contamination before the re-sharpen. After the sharpening, I polish the tungsten tip with red scotch-brite. Ball the tip with DC+ at low amp on a piece of copper to further clean assuming you have a machine that will DC+.

@bobjohnson1219 3 года назад

Dusty you have all the pertinent information packaged up in the right order & delivered without useless sidebar info that saves people a lot of time learning the hard way. When I weld it it was a case of WTF is going on with all crappy workmanship and now I know why. Learn something from each and every video you produce.

@AWDJRforYouTube 4 года назад

On old school Transformer/Rectifier AC/DC Tig welders, For AC aluminum welding, We would set welder to DC+ [positive electrode] and very low amps say 40, and for a few seconds "ball the tungsten" This process can also be use to CLEAN THE TUNGSTEN, just be sure to switch back to AC and set your normal welding amps for Aluminum welding.

@tfr6 2 года назад

Balling is useless now in 99% of machines built after 2012.

@ArgyleTurtle 2 года назад

I'd advise to make sure you turn older transformer machines off when switching as well. I will definitely give this a try though cheers

@jaredmcquiniff5362 3 года назад

I love your educational videos! One thing I’ve noticed when grinding my tungsten is if you angle down on the bench grinder, it can leave burrs on the tip. I prefer up angle for that reason. Great stuff man, keep it up!

@sulawesi-steve 4 года назад

@patricemorgentaler1801 3 года назад

Well done my friend! I love the way you explain stuff! very clear and simply put!

@jcnpresser 4 года назад

I’m pretty new to tig, it seems the sharper the grind on the tungsten the wider the arc cone, the more blunt the tip the more narrow and penetrates more, from what I’ve noticed so far. Also seems to help for me at least to run my tungsten on the side of the wheel when sharpening after getting the initial point I want. Seems to leave less grinding marks. Thanks for the information, keep em coming. I’ve been enjoying learning to tig, guys like you help us noobs out!

@PacificArcTigWelding 4 года назад

Awesome! Glad I could help in any way:)

@TheAussiePirate 4 года назад

Great tips and details. Could you do a video on cutting and prepping aluminium for beginners, i.e. limited tools/workspace, avoiding contamination, common pitfalls etc.? I’ve heard woodworking tools can be used, what’s your view on that? Cheers.

@stormspotter40 3 года назад

I'm new to tig welding and have watched just about every video that I could find before I bought my welder. And so far you are the first one that has mentioned on any video that the inside of the gas lens needs to be checked for contaminants. I have had this problem for awhile now and didn't even know it. Thank's for your help. 😎

@jackofalltrades7822 3 года назад

Good stuff. After 30+ years of welding and fabricating, am going to learn to TIG weld. I will let you know how it goes.

@staglione79 4 года назад

. I also use a touch of pre flow to make for a nice crisp start. A minimum of 5 seconds up to 20 seconds of postflow depending on what im doing. Good video, Good info too 👍

@PacificArcTigWelding 4 года назад

Out of curiosity I sharpened then polished a 1.6mm 2% Lan tungsten to near mirror finish for some 5mm mild steel welding 135 amps, It was amazing how perfect the arc was, completely stable and consistent. I then accidentally dipped it and that was that 🤣

@limitlessbuilds 4 года назад

Definitely should use a really slow speed on the drill when grinding though. I use a bench top belt grinder, but barely spin the drill. Otherwise great tips!

@p1kto Год назад

thankyou! this fixed my arc and I was able to do my first aluminium fillet!

@Sankeyite 5 месяцев назад

Have switched to you as my welding coach site... Looking into joining an online class. I like your no BS way of explaining and to the point. Last well known youtube guy i was watching just joked around too much for me, good lessons but i want to learn without all that. Thanks for your way of teaching.

@markrasmussen1504 Год назад

I bolt a 6" diamond coated grinding disc 240 grit next to my bench grinder wheel, then come in from the side. After grinding a new point, I finish with the polishing wheel on a small high speed grinder from harbor freight. Works great

@treyrags 4 года назад

Thanks for reminding me to change the tungsten more often, especially on AC. I'm guilty of staying with one tungsten too long because I fall in love with the nice round shiny balled tip and don't want to take the time to create a new one.

@bruceloheac8581 3 года назад

Hi Dusty, I am finally TIG welding at school after more than 100h of SMAW. I just couldn’t wait for it! Your videos are awesome, thank you so much! Also I bought for home the exact same Canaweld 201 Pulse D, just waiting for some parts to come in and I’ll be ready to weld :) I have a bench grinder, but I was wondering what kind of wheel are you using, there are so many of these on the market that I honestly don’t know which one I should take, what kind of grit and material components, I spent hours of research just on that, getting crazy 🤪 Cheers from Montreal 🤙

Really cool channel bro! Thanks for touching bases on some very basic techniques. That can make tig welding a little bit more fun.

@Flitzer514 3 года назад

Great video. I haven't done this in a long time, but I used to grind a ball end on my tungsten and my welds looked better. I've really been struggling with aluminum lately. I really need a new grinding wheel though, I think mines contaminated.

@Just1GuyMetalworks 2 года назад

Thanks for these tips, Dusty 😊. Just bought a Canaweld 201 Pulse D! So these videos are going to be infinitely helpful. I haven't done any TIG in 20 years and to be honest, I know so little about TIG I had to figure out how to assemble the torch! 🤣 Tungsten selection is a little more complicated than expected, I bought the gold ones, for someone that is pretty clueless... they seem to work 😏. Found out jow to ball the end pretty quick 🤣. Anyways, thanks again! Cheers from Saskatchewan 👍😁👍

@jackheath6623 3 года назад

i really enjoy your channel, and have learned quite a few things. one question i have. sometimes my tungsten turns black but it's not dull it's shiny behind the tip. is that bad? from what i know about electricity it is more likely to jump from a point than a smooth surface. that's why old school spark plugs need to be replaced when worn(long time tech). that's also why the round electrode is ground so sharply when new. i think it was Jody on his channel that said that's reason for longitudinal grinding.it not only entices the arc in the right direction, it also produces a multitude of entrance points for the arc when starting. radial grinding is actually counter productive. i hope i helped someone.

@PacificArcTigWelding 3 года назад

@randyhertzberg7549 2 года назад

When sharpening, I use a mig contact tip as a heat sink and hand spin, pointing up with tungsten. (example: 1/16 tip for 1/16 tungsten)

@SouthernGround 23 дня назад

Instead of a belt sander which is full of what ever you been grinding use one of the dremel attachments with the diamond wheels, cheaper than a stand alone tungsten grinder, not only do you get set angles but consistency in a given angle.

@skyridersean Год назад

Hi Thanks for your tutorials , they have been a big help. One thing you forgot to mention was how do you make the ball tip you like to use on your tungsten ?

@Jursaw 3 года назад

Learned a lot in this video. I use a tungstenmate to grind my tungsten. I heard to never break off tungsten instead just cut it. How far up do you usually cut it once you dip it?

@wrxdude3970 2 года назад

@doczombie5095 4 года назад

Hey, brother. I'm really glad I found your site! I am an old man, but a neophyte welder, and very interested in welding art, too. Gonna try something new since I retired. Is there a special grinding wheel material to use or avoid? I'm going to check out some grinders for dedicated tungsten sharpening. I'll try to find you on Facebook and send a 'friend' request so we might PM occasionally.

@jcbaccus1 6 месяцев назад

I really enjoy your videos. I’m a beginner with a few questions, 1. You mentioned tungsten performs better with a ball, how do I get my tungsten to ball? 2. Currently I have a tungsten sharpener that my options are 15 or 20 degrees, I’m using the 15 degrees and then I’m blunting the end. You mentioned 60 degrees. Am I ok doing the 15? (I’m welding .063 aluminum sheet). 3. What time length (seconds) do you recommend for post flow on aluminum sheet.

@rwilli2112 4 года назад

Great vid. Just wondering, after grinding an electrode do you 'ball' the end on a test piece of aluminum by running at a different AC balance before you start your actual work?

@stevenbowerman1154 2 дня назад

like you video help me as I am new to this

@markshort9098 2 года назад

I bought the cheapest grinder I could as a dedicated tungsten grinder and put a fine diamond cup wheel on it for polishing and it just has the fine aluminium oxide wheel on the other side that came with the grinder.. for how much work a designated tungsten grinder gets, I didn't see any advantage to buying an expensive one but my cheap grinder had really crooked wheel flanges and the diamond wheel needed custom flange made to hold it so I lathed up a set of flanges for both wheels so they didn't wobble and now it works perfectly

@cronkthecrunk 2 года назад

I feel like up is more safe because it will kick your hand away from the wheel rather than pull it into the wheel. Never had one catch tho

@johngarloff 2 года назад

Thanks for the tutorial. What grit are you using to grind the tungsten?

@chrisbergin8084 4 года назад

I switched out to e3 tungsten a few years back it seams to have a much longer tip life on both ac and dc providing you dont contaminate it. If im on a big job i sharpen both ends then its a simple flip it and your good to go again.

@chrisbergin8084 4 года назад

I used 1.5 and 2% lanthernated for a while but found the tip didn't hold up to well on dc in comparison with thoriated

@PacificArcTigWelding 4 года назад

Ah gotcha. Good you’ve found one that gets ripping for you! And god move on the double end sharpening. Less time swapping- just flip it and get rolling again:)
