Great info... I willl start my reading and do my homework before starting the winter project :) Thanks for the info Bill ... intercooler because the extra...
Tell me if I'm nuts. I was going to get a cylinder of tri-mix for my turbo install since my exhaust runs are 304 SS (& possibly 316 SS). Local welding shop...
Dan, the problem with using C25 is there is too much CO2 in the mix. Carbon from the CO2 gas ties up the chromium in the SS and the result is it is not ...
Your welding shop steered you wrong. Proper gas mix for welding stainless is straight argon. Stainless is "hungry" for carbon and the metal takes up carbon ...
We may have a communication problem here. Are we talking about TIG welding or MIG (GMAW) welding. TIG uses straight argon but MIG requires a few % of an ...
Dam_, I knew I shouldn't ask. Rust I can handle. The intergranular corrosion sounds like cracks and leaks down the road. Do you think I can get a year out of...
I'm using a MIG welder. I just tacked things this afternoon, my gas was getting low anyway. I'll get a new tank of the right stuff tomorrow I hope. Thanks, ...
... ¿Que? What you been smoking Allan? Have you ever tried to mig weld any kind of steel with pure argon? There isn't enough "heat" in the shielding gas...
Dan, Try a cylinder of 95 to 97% argon, balance CO2 or 98% argon, balance oxygen (this is a more common mix). You could use tri-mix but I think you would like...
Did you mean stainless steel? I've heard you can MIG regular steel with straight argon but its more expensive. ... Did you mean stainless steel? I've heard...
I’ll have to see what my supplier has for me. I know we use the same supplier at work where my guys MIG and Tig weld all day long. Even I can make a good...
To me Stainless steel means TIG. Usually I WATCH it being done by someone that's far more skilled than I am. Because usually if I'm having stainless steel done...
Allan, Ironically this IS food grade pipe. I’m in the used food equipment business. I do not weld with food-grade skill (our employees do). Dan Nicoson ......
then why aren't you contributing to the beer economy? Offer a case (or a sixpack if you are a cheap bastid:) to someone who's better at it than you are? You...
I really like to do things myself. I just picked up a tank of tri-mix this morning, same stuff we use at the shop here (same supplier). Dan Nicoson ... From:...
On some parts of fabrication I am completely willing to acknowledge my own limitations and have someone better do those parts of the job rather than make a...
90% helium, 7.5% argon & 2.5% carbon dioxide That's what the tank says. I tried about 2-3 short beads tonight. It "seems" a lot more civilized. Not as much...
Dan, You could try cheap reading glasses under the hood. Even if you wear prescription glasses, a stronger set may help you see. It really helps me. I can...
You will need more voltage than normal because of the helium. Try about 19 volts and about 250 IPM wire feed speed. There are many types and grades of auto...
If you have bright fluorescent lighting or have your back to the bright outside light, maybe even metal halide lighting shining in from the backside it will...
If a member has a picture of their project that they would like to be on the home page we can change the current picture. The picture has to be in JPEG format...
One of the members (stang852001) has been kind enough to give me a picture of his Rustang and motor so it's on the home page. I don't see no stinkin turbo on...
That's a nice engine! But Jimmie, wouldn't you want to see the turbos you supplied me with, (a fellow Albertan to boot,) on the front page? I posted some pics...
... Now if you want to amuse a few of us show us some close up pictures of a similar bead run with both gasses (don't worry about your welds, I just picked up...
You know, with todays technology, they should consider a helmet with a wireless connection to the welder so when you hit the trigger, it darkens the helmet,...
You wouldn't even need wireless, you should be able to do it with an EM sensor. of course that's all more complicated then a stinking light sensor, though I...
Yes, the technical term "-thingy" I recently replaced my stock oil pump drive shaft with an ARP super-duper shaft. Ford has some stamped steel cup that sits...
