TIG Welding Stainless Steel Known as 300 series, austenitic stainless steels are the most commonly welded. These chrome nickel steels, in contrast to lower cost stainless have more alloys and are “non magnetic” (Exception, types 310 – 330). Austenitic grades of stainless steel typically contain a minimum of 16-26% chromium and? 6-22% nickel. 308 Grade? stainless steel, for example, is

TIG Torch angle Once an arc is established, angle the torch about 15 to 20 degrees away from the direction of travel. Filler Material Angle When filler material is needed,

The 4130 grade of chromoly or chrome-moly is a high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel that contains molybdenum (0.15 – 0.25 percent by weight) and chromium (0.8 – 1.1 percent by weight) as strengthening

Are you tired of pre-heating only to find that your tungsten cannot withstand the constant AC arc? Direct Current Electrode Negative (DCEN) or DC(-) TIG welding Aluminum. There are no short cuts or forgiveness when it comes to welding Aluminum, especially thin

With the self-consuming technique, the electrode is dragged across the work and a significant amount of pressure must be applied by the diver. With the manipulative technique, the arc is held as
