Tag weld from one of our Civic Downpipes a few weeks ago, and an Intercooler weld from today!

Big change of pace from the car parts and small tig stuff I'm used to! First pic is a floor for a roll off box we over build for our recycle glass plants, and the second is a frame for one of the local mills. Third/fourth pics are of a lifting hook for the bucket in the fifth pic, minus the 10 foot ...

I was rather hoping to install the O2 sensor in the manifold to put it up stream of any leaks in the coupler, which it is very prone to. I was thinking maybe since it's just buildup and not trying to hold the cast together, that it would make it more doable than trying to repair a cast manifold. Th...

I cut the tubes on a lathe and then used a miter gage on a belt sander to sand the angle. This was all done before I left on Friday, I just took everything home to weld it.

Riding the gravy train on a Saturday night! 3/32 tungsten, #8 cup w/gas lens since I couldn't make it happen with a straight collet and #6 cup, and 4943 filler. Roughly 1-1.25rpm on the positioner with the welder set at 175, probably only using 100-125 as it gets to the end of the weld. https://uplo...

Some 9th Gen Civic Turbo manifolds getting done after hours.

I have a few friends that work there! I weld for PRL Motorsports out in Export currently, and do my own stuff on the side as well.

Anyone know or seen a alloy reference guide? where you can look up an alloy find out what wire to use and other info such as per heat temp or weldability . A complete composition, no, but I have been lucky enough to find any info I needed on the internet, or (bear with me here, I know it's 2017 and...

how you gonna weld up that carbon fibre tube? :D TIG with carbon fiber filler rod :twisted: Nice. How much does it cost per pound? :lol: My leg guy at one point told me the prosthetic main body was aluminum. As I found out, it is not. Not only will carbon fiber conduct amperage after a certain thre...

Prototype done for the 10th Gen Civic Intercooler and Charge Pipe setup. First time welding cast with 5356, can't say I'm really a fan. I don't know if I'll get to weld anymore of these, but we'll see if I can weld one with 5356, 4043, and 4943 back to back to back (batch work is nice for testing so...

The titanium came out nice! Sucks having to wait for it to cool down though. The whole thing was done consecutively alternating joint to joint. I think it's 4" sections maybe? Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk Even more impressive! I don't pay for argon :D :D I think I was at 35-40cfh with a p...

Nice TI work as well....jealous.

Those are done with a Dynasty 350 inverter. I'd like to try one with a Syncrowave, just for shits and giggles.
