Learning to TIG Weld. Begin by starting the arc on steel. Get a feel of the arc and the weld puddle. Next try welding on the surface of some sheet without using filler rod. This will help you get a feel for how the puddle moves, and practice in maintaining a tight arc length.
TIG Welding Tutorial. This tutorial is intended to offer practical advice to complete beginner TIG welders but should also be useful to intermediate welders. There's no single 'learn to TIG' page, instead each page demonstrates aspects of the technique using different joint types. As usual the tutorial is not a substitute for a college course ...
110. 80. 1 A 1.6mm tungsten is OK down to about 30 amps. It can be used on thinner material if the tip is kept very sharp. Reduce the amps a little if using a 1.0mm tungsten. 2 2mm is the transition between 1.0mm and 1.6mm filler rod. The larger filler rod cools the weld pool more than the smaller rod so you might add about 5 amps if using 1 ...
Jun 13, 2016 · Discuss Tungsten Inert Gas welding (TIG, GTAW, WIG).
For welding steel the tungsten should be ground to a long point with the taper length about 2 or 3 times the diameter of the tungsten. See DC Electrode Preparation. The long taper and sharp tip improve arc stability. For a butt weld or open corner weld the stick out would be about 5-6mm. Setting the tungsten stick out for fillet welds is ...
The arc welding tutorial (otherwise known as MMA or Stick welding) was produced with the help and guidance of professional welders. Again the tutorial is aimed at beginner and intermediate welders. The joint pages will also be useful read for MIG and TIG welders.

Aug 27, 2015 · Cambridgeshire. Aug 27, 2015. #3. That was just the Q I was gonna ask. If you are intending to weld a cracked wheel u open yourself up to all sorts of possible problems in the event of a failure. I wouldn't do it and it's right up my street. Kerb damage again can be risky business and I'd carry out a crack test first to be sure it's just a scuff.

Jul 26, 2010 · Jul 27, 2010. #2. Gas welding is a good base skill to learn and will stand you in good stead for all manual welding processes, Tig technique is very similar to gas welding, arc instead of flame, shield provided by gas, and filler rod fed manually just as in gas welding, Paul.
