Your closeup welding footage is excellent 👍 it makes it easy to understand when you talk about techniques and what to look 👀, thanks for taking the time to educate others 👌🇬🇧

This is so good to know. You are teaching us to fish here not just giving us a fish. These kinds of tips and tricks make it so I can solve my own problems not just follow some generic advice and not know what to do if things aren't going right. Thanks Tim. Looking forward to the rest of the tig series

Just found your channel a few weeks ago. Man, I really love your down-to-earth presentation! I am learning a lot .

That's funny, I just put down my first Aluminum TIG Welds a couple nights ago, and wondered why the arc was so wonky and loud. After you mentioned gas flow, I realized I never adjusted it from the Stainless I was working with prior, so it was WAY too high for the Aluminum. Thank you for that great tip!!!

Fantastic video it’s amazing how much there is to consider in getting the perfect weld. As all ways big Thankyou for your help time and advice 👍

Are you not a masterclass of a teacher! I think you’re underrated😐 Keep up the good work! You have 200k subs and i can tell you’re only getting started👍🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Fantastic presentation of this material with great examples, way to go !!!

Great tips, thanks! I also think you found the perfect balance on pitching your paid courses. You give enough info for people to be aware of them but I don’t feel like it took away from this free video. I’m a long time subscriber, and it’s easy to like and comment here to help your ratings. I hope the revenue on these free ones has you continuing to make them, since the info is great.

Thanks! I’ll keep making these vids, regardless of the revenue. I really love doing it!

EXCELENTE VIDEO¡¡... Y MUY FACIL DE ENTENDER¡¡...SALUDOS DESDE MEXICO¡¡

A brilliant gentleman log watching listening and trying to take all the information in thank you very much❤👀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I just bought a torch and using on my DC inverter machine with helium, will stay tuned!!!

Awesome video, this was exactly the info I was looking for! Thank you!

Great tips Tim.

Awesome video Tim as usual! Your arc shots are killer BTW 👍🔥🔥🔥

Thank you!

Thanks for the video

As always Tim..love the vids 👍

Good content, keep up the good work

thanks

nice if I had a ac tig welder. Mine is a scratch start (Miller 215) unit. My grandson has been trying to learn it. Myself, I have stuck with stick & MIG. Also, not to many welders talk about using a spool gun. Either steel or aluminum.

Get you a mini-split for your garage. Its great welding in the 75 degree garage when its 100 out.

We’ve all been there. I’ve powered through dipping my tungsten, cursing while I’m doing it. Depending on how critical the weld is, it’s usually ok. But sometimes, ok isn’t good enough.

No matter how clean or how much I practice I keep getting mushroom type oxidization growing when doing an inside corner joint. Sometimes it will go well sometimes it will grow this weird oxidization. Confirmed gas flow, clean tungsten and clean material.

I wonder if sometimes people have problems because the rotameter is not plumb , or because of varying temperature, thus leading to varying and inaccurate measurements of gas delivery.

Is there any welding thats pace maker friendly, or are they all suggested 'avoid if have pace maker'?

How does the welding course work is it downloadable or is it live or just online

Mate, Great vid as always. What affect does frequency have on the result? I've read a bit, but I'm keen on your opinion/experience (given you are now my goto guy for all things welding). 🇦🇺

Thanks! Frequency controls the spread of the arc. Typically, a higher frequency is more focused and works well on thinner material and a lower frequency is a little better on thicker aluminum.

What does it mean when I can push in or pull out the tungsten without loosening the back cap? It seems the collet is not tightening down on the tungsten when the back cap is tightened, but everything looks okay. I thought that tightening the back tightens up the tungsten in the torch. It came as the basic set with the PrimeWeld Tig welder.

Is balance offset?

Great video ! On AC balance different TIG machines really are different 😏 Some people tell me that green electrode is great, and my machine makes a mess of a 3,2mm @ 140 A. And welds way better with a gold 2,4mm. Do you think that modern Inverter machines can vary in what electrode fits best ? Or are we the welders just needing a topic to argue about during breakfast 😂

The green ones were commonplace with transformer machines, but I always run alloyed tungsten on inverters. I think ceriated, lanthanated and multimix all run fine. It is a good mealtime conversation, though.

My andelli 250 pace balance goes from 40 --0- -40 I can’t figure out where to start. -40 burns electrode back quick

Is there a difference from using the tungsten rod (green) in a round shape than a sharp shape and what causes the aluminum rod to ball up during the weld?

Pure (green) tungsten was the common electrode for AC welding with transformer type machines for a long time. Transformers don’t have the same level of AC balance control, so balling the tungsten was necessary. With inverters, you can run alloyed tungsten (Lanthanated, Ceriated, multimix, etc) and keep a reasonable point on it. It will still naturally ball up a little. The pointed tungsten gives a bit better control. I haven’t used pure tungsten in a decade. As far as the filler balling up, it’s usually a combination of an arc that’s too long, too much torch angle and camping out with the end of the filler close to the arc rather than stabbing it intentionally into the front of the puddle. Great questions!

Excuse me guys. How can I set my parameters in my dynasty 280 for aluminum welding? This machine got output, pulser, sequencer, AC balance. What's the best setting. Thanks.

@TimWelds

The settings will vary depending on the application, but a good starting point is usually: -1 amp per .001 in material thickness (add another 20 amps or so if you’ll be using a pedal) -60 Hz frequency on thick or 120 Hz on thin -75% AC Balance -No pulse -2.5x your cup size for gas flow in CFH It’s worth learning what all these settings do, which I teach in other videos and my online course, because they really need to be tuned to the application. I get that you need to start somewhere and these will get you in the ballpark.
