My man, Wow even the inside looks great !!! Great purge setup. I wish my TIG welder had pulse now. It's an older (2012) Everlast Powertig 185. I've been reading your posts on how pulse mode really helps autogenous welds "pull" together and produce a convex bead profile. (vs a sunken-in concave bead with minor undercut). Hats off to you, i just subscribed too 👍🇺🇸

Awesome job, Rush. Thanks for your tips!

I'm welding the same ss304 exhaust systems for about 5 years already and was suprised to see almost the same settings , this is awesome! 😄👍 The only thing I'd like to add is when I weld this short type of pie cuts or just a V-band to a short piece of tube I usually just tack weld another 20-30cm of straight pipe to the opposite side of V-band just to save my silicone plug from burning when the last weld is right next to the end of the whole piece 😉 Greetings from Russia ✌️ BTW haven't you tried weld the same joints on the positioner? Many guys use some sort of U-type piece of metall to place the tube/bend and a regular clamp to hold it together and keep the thing dead vertically.

Another great video, very informative as always, thanks dude. Keep it up.

BEEEE-utiful! Why can't I get reliable fusion tacks?

My tig machine doesnt have pulse, wondering is this possible without pulse ? I know it will not look like its dabbed but look more like laywire welding. Or is there too much heat input without pulse?

well done, were you full pedal at 85 amps on the pipe to pipe. also how many amps did you use for the vband flange?

Hey Rush, I’m just starting out and your videos are so freaking good. I was wondering if this technique was attainable with a machine that only does 1pps? I tried using 1pps @85 amps and am getting the concave racks with the little dot in the middle. Using a size 14 cup and 35 cfh. The pulses are clean and silver, but all have the tiny dot hole in the middle. I’m dreaming of doing the exhaust on my LS swap using this technique. Love the videos man! Keep it up!

@KANEKIDWELDS

2 жыл бұрын

This will work at 1pps. A few things I recognize from your description that can help. With a size 14 I keep the flow around 22-24cfh & inside purge rate at 5-7cfh. The argon flowing inside the tubing insulates and cools the puddle and prevents overheating, if the flow rate is too high, it will blow the weld out or cause a shaky lightly sparky puddle (it absolutely does not hold the weld up like many are confused about) To eliminate the crater/pinhole between dimes - make sure not to advance too far between Dime overlaps. Just advance far enough that the edge of the next dime completely overlaps the center of the previous. If the weld is still concave & not raised, more tungsten push angle is needed (≈40° forward), or slightly less amps(74-78) Hope this helps🤘🏼

@KANEKIDWELDS

Thanks for the compliments on aesthetics! You said in your honest opinion you wouldn’t trust it, then lol’d, so I’m curious to what insight you have pushing that opinion. I wrote notes into this video around the 2:35 mark explaining the details of this process, but I’ll expand more on it here. Nothing matches the parent material alloy of stainless steel better than the parent material itself, and that’s absolutely the only thing you see shown here. Utilizing a filler/dab technique, the filler alloy closest to the parent material being welded is chosen. During the welding process, an amperage high enough to melt and fully penetrate through to consume and fuse the root is chosen. As the puddle is formed and carried along the weld, the cold wire (uncharged ambient filler) is transferred manually into the puddle. Each time the filler is introduced, the puddle/weld zone is diluted with the new alloy, cools, and drops temperature. The dab technique is completely normal, wildly used, and simply a correct technique. The technique I have showcased, is ‘imitating’ the dab technique, but... my ‘non-existing’ filler alloy is actually the EXACT SAME as the parent alloy, since that’s ALL that I’m working with. These pulse parameters are set to imitate the temperature fluctuations by cold wire transfer Tig welding, so even the HAZ is nearly identical, depending on travel speeds. (*note* ‘Low and slow’ typically yields a much much larger area of granular elongation and increased temper along the weld, in all processes, due to more radiant heat input over a longer period of time) The fitment of each weld joint is perfectly square, completely flush, zero gaps, ridiculously clean, no bevels. This fitment & cleanliness is the only way this works & it saves time, money, and operator fatigue, making this an extremely useful and reliable process.

@The Most Illusive Man thanks for dropping your input. What I’m showing here is how to pulse-autogenous by using metallurgy and electromagnetic science to achieve structural passing and highly cosmetic thin wall stainless welds. The Root penetration I’ve show has 100% penetration without any suckback, meaning the inside face of the weld is literally Convex (not concave) and the outer face of the weld is Convex as well. If you happen to watch the video, you can actually see it.
