Tungsten Inert Gas, run pure argon gas.
If the metal takes a while to melt your not doing it correctly.
A mig auto mask is not dark enough for tig unless it is switchable.

If you can weld with oxy ace then you should manage tig.

I spent 7yr as a tig production welder, it may be easy at 14 gauge and below., go weld some 20 gauge or even car panels with out distorting them.

I was just giving some tips to judwak. I was saying it may take a while to turn liquid on such a low setting - ie for practice. If you;re jointing two pieces together you want the hottest setting possible without ruining the pieces to try and prevent heat soak and distortion like you mention. I used an auto mask with different light settings. Was much easier than a solid non electrical mask. And we only used argon but I have heard of people using CO2 as a cheap alternative? Never tried it myself though.
btw I never took any courses or qualifications in welding.

Tig is very easy. You only add a rod when you actually need to add metal to the weld. I would start off very low say 60 - 80 amps. It will take some time before the metal is liquid depending on what you are welding and the quality of the metal. Just make sure you use a suitable mask, gloves, bench and a long sleeved t-shirt unless you want sunburn. Arc eye isn't much fun either!
What gas will you be using? We used Argon but I think (dont quote me) that you can use carbon dioxide to stop contamination.

This was THE best thread for ages. No red buttons, iffy brakes or the like.
Just plain old discussion,abuse,pi$$ taking and a complete deviation off topic...


Well done everyone.

I was thinking the same thing. Just like old times

LOL, just read this whole thread, what a palava!

Yotatech always seemed a little sensible to me, I never bothered joining, and that was before this place was a glint in Koi's eye.

Pirate4x4 is and has always been much more fun.

palava is the word! Just think this whole thing is a bit of a joke

makes you wonder whats alumin (or is that a metal) around the corner, thinks diesleboys membership was destined to be squashed like a tomate o before he had posted.

or its 3 american men (dare not say yank) but i think its ya mojo dude

[JUDWAK]

And yes I know absolutley nothing about welding, so when I need it done I have to pay someone.

was going to learn me but i have this nack of upsetting people
so now i was going to put one in mi shed
but mi dad said use that one of mine
its tig never used tig only ever used a burning gun

Arguing with a mod is very similar to pleading your case with a lion.
Even if he does understand (unlikely) you're toast.

[yoshie]

That welder has a big sticker that says "DONT WELD IN THE RAIN YOU ####ING MONG!"

Needs must, Clog is close
