What is the highest amp setting you use with a 3/32? Do you ever use 1/8" tungsten?

What’s crazy is that I welded aluminum with a “stainless mentality” until I had to weld a 1/4 throttle body to an intake manifold with only 120amps. It made me sit at the start for about 30 seconds with full pedal but that was the BEST aluminum welding I’ve ever done. Thanks for the confirmation. You’re doing a good work here.

That’s a lot of heat in the part..

After over 12 months of watching Dusty’s videos the best tip I’ve leant that is now helping make my welds look like he’s is he only uses 1/8 filler rods! By using more filler material the work doesn’t get as hot and really helps get that perfect looking profile!

I am in welding school right now, and they made a point of saying the green tungsten should be rounded at the tip instead of a point. Thanks for the video.

Been welding aluminum for over 20 years now all info here is good

Cool. Post some videos to make your statement relevant.

"Baby sit what you started" . Such an underrated quote .

Loving your videos dude! Tons of info but what I'm also amazed by is the editing! Not sure how many people would pay attention to that but dude, I love it! 👏🏻 Happy New Year btw! 👊🏻

Good evening, my name is Scott and I sure appreciate your taking the time to provide all your experience and expertise to show us out here tips for being a better welder. I've had a Lincoln Square Wave 175 now for a minimum of 20 years and while it's old school technology, it does do the job fairly well, as long as I take care of my end of the deal. But, watching your videos sure has helped me with some mistakes I've been doing for many years. I'm gonna take your free Aluminum welding class very soon to further augment my aluminum welding capabilities. Thank you so much for your assistance. Very much appreciated.

Positive vibrations your way my dude.

Good video, I welded Ali mig tig all over the world for 40 years. Any new people here take this information as Gospel. The rounded shiny cleen tungsten is key as well as matching gas flow with shroud size , and correct frequency. Also clean everything perfectly even the filler wire . You must use a tonn if scrap Ali to play around and learn the machine until you become one with it .

just bought a tig....GREAT VIDEO...thank's much.

Iv been welding for years and always learned from the guy next to me in what ever work place over so many schedules and materials at times it's a real battle within and so hard on your self to be the best you can be. The joy of welding your videos are fantastic I love your dedication KEEP UP THE PERFECT THING YOU HAVE GOING A1 BROTHER.

Great tips and much appreciated. Many thanks.

I have two tig welders just 20 feet from me every day. Never tried it but the way you showed and explained seemed to clear some things up. I'm going to try for the first time.

How'd you do?

A lot of people say that you can only use green (pure) tungsten with transformer machines on AC, but I had excellent performance with purple (E3) on my old Miller 320A/BP.

Outstanding advice

Thanks a million for yet another fantastic video

i love the thru glass video at least i see what should i do. im starting my tig journey soon

Another great video Dusty.

looks really good . good job

Cleaning tungsten is like cleaning laundry. Once you conquer it, you can conquer welding.

Love your channel bro

Gosh darn my man! That looks good

Thanks COOP ...

Hello and a happy new year. i only use 2% lanthanated tungsten since 6 years. greetings from Austria 👋

First let me say I absolutely love your channel it's very informative and supportive I've learned so much from watch and practicing your technique I'm still a novice but I'm a quick study and have been welding for a long time just not tig welding. I'm wanting to buy a machine that will give me a HF tig function with a MiG function to weld aluminum and stainless specifically. I have a Lincoln 300 3d 98 model for big stuff . What box welder would you recommend for this application? My end goal is to be able to weld body panels on my trucks and build custom turbo pipes and reservoirs

Hey Dusty, which Fillerrod do you use on the Welds,you show in this Episode? Just bought a Weldingmachine and start to learn from your Channel. Thanks a lot for your Content.

I think you should start selling prepped tungstens, great info as always!

They're out there.

How do you get the small Ball on your tungsten? I googled and found more than one way, im wondering what is the best method. Love your videos, thank you for teaching us!

just curious how you grind your tungsten? or what you use?

Im a beginner, ive been practicing on ss and i have "picked up pretty quick". As far as tungsten goes can i put it in a cordless drill and just run it through a fresh scotch bright pad or is that no good?

Absolutely 💯

Looks like you were using the LaYZr tungsten?

What I can't figure out is how you get the definition between each "dime" its almost like each time you dip the rod the edge cools very quickly. Do you change your balance setting so the puddle cools faster? Or is it simply a very exact heat for the weld. My stacks always seem to melt alot smoother then yours.

Great info, love the content!! As a novice TIG welder I just have one question. How do you prepare/make the ball end on your tungsten? I get keeping in clean and grinding longitudinally, but I have not been able to figure out how to set up that ball on the end?

I don't know what type of machine that you're using.. but place it in "reverse polarity" (DC+) and press down on your tig foot pedal and you'll see the ball start to form. Do this on a clean piece of copper. Then change back to AC and weld the aluminum.

Very good tips, as always!! Thank you Dusty. Quick question, on the picture of the 3 tungsten tips (pointed, blunt and balled), it looks like they are polished. Can't see any grind marks (slight marks). Do you do anything special after grinding the tips? Thanks again for your time and videos.

After sharpening your tungsten change your balance to 90% positive on the torch or pretty much as high as machine allows and arc up on a scrap piece of aluminium when arcing start low and slow as it balls the tungsten pretty quick

So, got a link to how you made that ball on the end?

aluminium is a great metal

what grade tungsten are you using?

awesome video But how do you make a small ball on the tungsten your videos are so good thank you for sharing at 73 I am late in starting but l am loving it...

@jhowse19801

I'm not that good at controlling it yet but the method I use is to turn the positive side of the ac up to around 50% and turn up the amps 20 or 30 more than I need. I then hold the torch as level as possible while starting the arc. Ramp up on the pedal until you see the tungsten start to ball then let off when you get the shape you want.

How do you avoid porosity welding in 4G position 1" thick groove weld.

Where’s your video on BALANCE CONTROL ?

When it is possible tack a plate at the beginning and end. Start the weld on plate and then end on plate at end.

I've always ran to big a cup and way to hight on the gass

So not a pro but been welding a while, my question is why do we use argon and not nitrogen gas when nitrogen is mostly chemically inert and plentiful?

I just bought the ahp 225xi tig machine. it was like a grand for the welder accessories gas bottle and gas. It’s been super easy to set up on mild steel, I haven’t tried aluminum yet but it’s got the 120v adapter and will do all the metals.

I’ve been welding Aluminium for a while, but I am struggling with getting shiny dimes. Please help

Watching this makes me want to go into the basement and play around with my tig-welder I'm in the middle of making wall mounted lamps instead of having lamps on the tables taking up space... and 2. I can't move the tables cause of the lamps just taking up table space... and I'm making the lamps out of old Crutches.. pretty much quality Aluminum..

The thing is HOW do you get the balled end on the tungsten??? I’ve seen you mention them loads but can’t find a video explaining how to get one 🤷🏼‍♂️

What sucks about aluminum is that when you start a weld, the aluminum around the weld is pulling the heat away. Its called thermal conductivity I think. I had to do tig on tank trailers and anything but an edge weld was a pain in the ass Hanging around in one spot too long would crystallize the aluminum. Rework😁😁😁

What sucks about this. That’s one of the bonuses with aluminum. It’s also not as sensitive to post flow.

Do you have an email i could ask you a question?

How the hell do you hold it so long at the start without melting the project material away?

Don't mash the pedal until you're moving, keep the amps as low as possible until everything looks good. It's possible to weld aluminum without a pedal, but it's really hard, especially if you are trying to run a long continuous bead.

I personally don't like a ball. But if you like a ball, turn your balance down to 35% and light up on a piece of brass or stainless. You'll see the ball develop. Then, just turn your balance back up.

You know that when you cut to a camera you arent looking at while youre looking at a first camera, it looks #1. Pointless #2. Like you’re trying to hard. #3. Like a failed brainwashing technique that doesnt work but no one has the heart to tell you #5. Like was it is, a technique first used by carson daly. Why do people do it? Lack of critical thinking. When you’re making camera lens eye contact with a a camera that the a… it’s not worth it. You could have something so much better for what you paid to do this terrible technique
