@MrShakesFist In America, they spell it and pronounce it differently.

good info on your vid. but tig is not so easy. mig is easy. practice makes perfect. most peoples problem is they dont know what gas to use… argon or helium mix? helium mix sems to work best for aluminum, pure argon for most everything else.

Very usefull!

Buenos Dias, Aqui les dejo una pagina donde encontraran información como libros, manuales, etc. todo para el amante de los fierros y la soldadura (PROFESIONALES SOLDADORES). A precios muy comodos, pero de un gran valor el contenido.
Pueden descargarlo como tambien pedirlo en libro físico. Aqui les dejo el link juntenlo todo:

i averaged a score of 96 on all my MIG weld tests and a 98 in TIG welding. My adviser is giving my a internship for being the top welder in my class, thanks for the tip about MIG it helped me when practicing for my tests. if i get hired on the spot in my internship my teacher said that i will automatically get my diploma

OfForceAndChaos:

It is! You need a bit more coordination though, seeing as you have a pedal controlling how much amperage you’re sending through the tungsten – usually you set your TIG welder so that you can just give’er and push right down on the pedal and just start feeding your filler rod into the puddle. I’m 19 and I’m already better than most of my high school teachers.

you dont want to mate when tigging alloy you want a ball end i had the same problem then i got put threw nvq1 ages ago and i asked the bloke and he said a sharp point for every metal BUT alloy hope this helps

jaraff420:

I’m currently in school now and my adviser wants me to test early for my last brazing lap weld test, so i can start mig, i have experience in mig welding but i was wondering if there is a easy rule to determine to correct setting like the rule of thumb for stick

don’t use shitty ass pure tungstin

Balling happens on pure tungsten electrodes when welding in AC (like for aluminum).
On a higher end, inverter based TIG welder you can adjust the wave form in such a way that you are mostly putting energy into the material (electrode negative) vs.into tungsten. So the tungesten stays cooler – and doesn’t melt. See Miller’s dynasty series fore example
