****Pretty Welds....****

[BajaFand]

Haven't done too much miging in a while. This was from a week ago. And no, it's not spot welding. Any advice and opinions are welcomed and appreciated.

I think you are getting close. I think you are "whipping" a little too far. Your dimes should be tighter. Whipping too far can give the appearance of a trigger weld by leaving an exposed dimple in the center of each dime. It also looks like you may be traveling a little fast as well but that's hard to say considering how much heat there is in the part.

Keep practicing, it's looking good.

Sorry Craig but you ARE wrong.

Thats cool, I'm allowed to be. I shouldn't have assumed. I do know what a spray looks like and I knew you did it internally. so the ribs are sprayed and on the exterior of that joint it's tig welded.

fail...

Have you ever seen a Tubeworks housing in person? Tig pass over spray arc? Was that a Typo, serious comment, or some underlying jab to the guys at tubeworks?

I'm not here to jab at anyone unless replying to a personal attack. Yes, I've seen their housings. Why is it so questionable for a tig weld to be over another weld ? One would never know unless they saw the guy weld it, I guess you have. I only assumed so since the part would be welded on both sided essentially and the same process was used.

If you do whip out too far just make sure to whip back in. . .I like to whip fairly far out of my puddle and then whip back into it; I think it gives more distinct puddles, but I haven't perfected my method yet. . .I'm still learning.

Those don't look bad at all Linus. . .trying moving your spacing slightly closer together to cover the dimples and the middle and you'll be good to go!
