I miss tiggin. My stick welding isn't nearly as nice. Tig is so clean and fun..nothin like stick welding galvanized steel overhead with 6010

Agreed, stick always feels gross. Tig's alright, but I like acetylene butt-welds best.

I heard the Red Welding was pretty traumatic.

would the science side of imgur please explain why its green?

7 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Watch the 3rd gif in full. That green tint is similar to the shade used in welding helmets. Without it the light is to intense to see.

I get paid to do this.. :)

Can't really see what's being done. Can you?

Cool! I had no idea this is how welding works

7 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Not all welding works like this. This is TIG or Tungsten Inert Gas welding. This is the clean sexy but hard to master welds.

What's the glowy pencil thing?

7 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

The process of welding here is GTAW (TIG) that's the tungsten electrode.

Welding for 10 years and I still can’t do that. It’s beautiful

Gas tungsten arc welding *

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Does tig not have all the crazy sparks u normally see? Not a welder

7 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Nope! It's very clean. I think of it as similar to oxyfuel welding, which also doesn't make sparks.

Indeed.

The second one is not so nice.. poor shielding, and damn watch that arc dance.

7 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Its aluminum. The arc is moving do much because you need to use an AC current to weld aluminum, which makes it jump, and the tip of his...

7 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Tungsten is balled, which helps the tungsten deal with the higher temperatures of AC but also allows the arc to move. Also, aluminum is just

7 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

I agree with most of what your saying, but balled electrodes are typically a biproduct of too high of temps, not to help with them.

7 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Negative, it's common practice to preball on order to control how the electrode melts

Not very clean or nice to weld.

Good call, hard to judge.. specially since I only tig weld regular steel

7 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

welding aluminium requires AC wich creates a spherical probe tip. also the melted material is not as "flowy" as steel or its variants

7 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

That and watch the parent material on the HAZ, dead ringer with how the oxide layer reacts to being welded.

Is this what it looks like inside the helmet?

Yeah that's pretty much it

I suffer severe migraines from sunlight. Green welding goggles help immensely. Can't tell people apart now 'cause shit's too dim. Double win

Yup! That's why it's green.

Well great. Now I wanna take up welding.

it is a useful skill to have, even if you just make some yard art out of scrap.
