I have had good luck on cast iron jobs like this tig welding on AC with Aluminum Bronze A2 filler rod.

I have been wanting to test these features for a while now. AC waveforms as well as pulsing between DCEN and AC. Its called Advanced AC pulse on the 255ext but I believe Kemppi calls it mixed TIG. http://www.weldingtipsandtricks.com/ac-waveforms-advanced-ac-pulse.html Anyway, I will definitely be di...

A bit late in posting this. Been out of commission lately with a tooth thing that turned into a sinus thing, that turned into a root canal thing. we had a fellow named Rush Kane on the weldingtipsandtricks podcast a while back and he mentioned using a more blunt electrode grind to achieve a narrower...

The etched picture seems to show a weld "nugget" with penetration into the base metal. Am I misreading this photo or was a weld etched sample put in video by mistake? Or does the braze metal etch like that. that was my bad... both nuggets are welds with slightly different penetration prof...

Silicon bronze and Aluminum bronze vs ER70s-2
Surprising how weak a tig braze from one side can be....actually I guess not too surprised but a break test brings it home.
