5th Street Fab's AWESOME aluminum pipe video
• How to Weld Aluminum Pipe - Auta a dopravní prostředky
You experts make it look so easy that it's tempting to go buy a TIG welder and give it a shot. Very well done sir, thanks
I love that you put both your pedal and your settings in the corners, that's a lot of work. I'm subscribed.
You and Fifth Street fab have helped me tremendously with getting into Tigging Aluminum thanks for all your hard work man !
Thank you for taking the time to do these videos. They have been super helpful for me!
Chris_ Ennis2 good to hear. I loved to teach when I was in the army and I lost my audience when I retired. So I enjoy it and it also help that people tend to drop by my web store if they took something away that helped. Simple.
Really enjoy the settings, and the "pedal cam" and amp display! Cool! Keep teaching Mike!
Nice work bud! Perfect! And those shots 👌
Thanks for everything Mike!
Excellent video mate .. much appreciated
Very nice and informative video, thank you!
Great video, thank you!
Great video thank you
I've noticed your scratch method on a few of your videos. I was wondering why you were doing it out of curiosity and you just explained. I can see once you're used to doing it with one material it just becomes muscle memory on others.
Nice job wtih the foot pedal. What tig welder were you using in this video?
thank you,
According to the display the machine never reaches 120 amps while welding but it looks like you're giving it full pedal. But maybe there's still some travel left on the pedal? Thanks for doing these videos, very helpful to us beginners.
Must be my cheap aluminum, but I’m able to weld it with good penetration at 40A. Anything more seems to burn through really quickly. Any suggestions? Just started aluminum welding though
Where ca I get the tig finger
When you got that flat spot where you dabbed filler more than normal i would have let the tube cool down a bit. Is there a reason why you scratch the material with your tungsten ? I had this issue when i had a poor ground on my table.
R_Fab_Machining it was not a flat spot. I was just dabbing fast and shallow to show a different technique and ripple pattern. I explain the scratching in the video. I know I’m long winded but might help some that don’t know. Thanks
Where are u located?
Hey man. So I watched ur vid on the PTFE fuel u sell on ur website and herd u say it was non conductive and so I've herd that fuel creates a electric charge I think when flowing.. really though how important is it to use the conductive type??? Thx.
Hum. I’ve heard that federal aviation says they must use conductive hose. I see hose company reps always say “at certain Viscosity’s at certain altitudes, some hydrocarbons create energy from friction” very specific language. I notice while they like people to extrapolate that their car will blow up, they never say that. I’m sure if there was an account of that happening, it would be posted everywhere. Bottom line is you’ll have to make the call.
@@MonkeyFabGarage thx
Now why did you keep pulling the filler rod out of the argon flow ?Was it because of the smaller cup ?
Elton White it makes no difference you can move aluminum a foot out of the gas follow each dab. Arron at 6061.com already covered it. So don’t worry about it.
Im using a syncrowave 250 dx at 57amps just the penetration isnt consistand and im also welding 1” tubing how much would the settings change? Should i go higher?
Maybe more amps maybe slower. Watch the bead sink.
Any reason you run 60hz rather than say 120hz or higher? I'm just learning aluminum and have been running about 120 on intercooler piping, curious now if I should try 60..
Makes little difference. Try everything and see what works best for you. Some times I change it up depending on what I’m doing.
👍
I'm looking to buy a cheaper AC/DC Tig to learn on, how important would you say pulse is for basic IC pipe welding and the likes? Oil pan bungs, BOV flanges ect. I've been looking at the Eastwood Tig200, it seems very basic, but within my skill set. Any suggestions.
I'd add that I'll be doing a lot of steel pipe as well
JRock 636 pulse is like Bluetooth in your car. It’s nice but you can live without it. I personally would skip the Eastwood.
AHP? Everlast?
JRock 636 I’m really interested in trying out the new harbor freight tig machine. If it is near as good as the everlast it would be a good deal with that extended warranty. If you can’t make your money back in three years, you’re doing something wrong. However, I’ve been broke since, well forever 😂
LOL. I was eyeballing the Vulcan at the local HF a few days ago. Reviews seem reasonable TBH, but I am concerned with the Duty Cycle. I'm no expert with welders, but I think the DC was in the 25% range.
your running a invertig 221, why the ball on the tungsten? you just prefer it to run like the older machines? you wouldn't have to touch the aluminum like that if you ran a tapered tungsten instead of a ball
Chris Renaud the tungsten balls up anyway. That’s why we often flatten the point by a small amount. It balls up less. But the ball isn’t a bad thing. It’s often preferred.
What size filler rod are you using?
I like 1/16. I feel like it helps to pull the heat out as you go.
Where is the best place to buy metal piping for projects? Why fools would be best to cut the metals?
In the field you are not allowed to turn the pipe
That's beauty of automotive fabrication, you can. Especially if for profit, you want the customer to pop the hood and show off perfection to his buddies. I know what you mean though, much different skill set welding upside down and at every contorted angle that makes the reach possible. Very hard at times and mostly a thankless job that goes unrecognized by those that don't know what their looking at. If that's you, hat's off
You weren't feeding into the puddle enough filler Rod
FlashTechEngineering how do you determine that?
Your bead width and stack height profile is flattened out, especially to match your penetration to much heat input, re watch your video, watch 6061 channel
FlashTechEngineering bead is convex on both sides. Thanks for you input
@@FlashTechEngineering Where is your video you goose ?
