Dont remember where to adjust balance or frequrence but i recall that there was settings that you need push Amp button to get more settings to adjust? but it on ac. and when that ...

Re: Stainless butt/beweled joint

Okey that gap is one choice. But but when you think that pipe is 400mm and 300mm radius and total about 63 or more joints making it one pass would be huge time saiver its about range 1.4m weld by joint and 2.8m in two passes x63... What would you think about this, knife edge 60-70° bewel no gap or o...

Stainless butt/beweled joint

how you weld 1/8 (3.0mm) or 4.0mm thick ss pipe. im gona be welding proses piping 400mm x 3.0mm to 4.0mm thick. And i think i will bewel them litle but no gap. so i can get easier trough it whit out that gap and but it on one pass at least that 1/8 thick. There gona be some xrays taken of them 10% l...

Re: welding Al cast flanges

By the looks of the texture and the sharp details I would assume it is a gravity die cast (kokill, if you know the Swedish word for it ;) ) A very common Aluminum quality for that method is AlSi10Mg which is recomended to weld with 4043 as far as I can find. Thanks for info. Yes some other parts re...

Re: welding Al cast flanges

There is gap between to parts welded. Service time i ment that contamination shortens that weld lasting eaven longer. That cast has somekind of coating? The pic doesent show thoos (peppers) and if that coatin could not grind it shows much better.

Re: Everlast MTS200 short circuit setup help

If you are welding at your job too why dont take some thicker scarp plate and start adjusting there. then you can keep you arc on and tweek it there and not worry burn trought. So get better practise material and not that rusty tube. Every that size machine will short sircuit for sure :D

I think it was very good video. Because jody showed that lack of fusion at beginning on aluminium weld. I have done the same mistake when you feed that rod too soon. Many can weld some kind of weld on AL, but making sound long lasting weld not to crak in years in use is bit harder. Im no expert on A...
