Thread: What did you weld today?

Did you clean the MS? prepping the surface-wise ? try to bump up the argon a bit to 18-20cfh, try to use less heat depending on which machine you are using; some required more, some required less, need to find a pool and have a comfortable speed. On steels I use 1/16" tungsten typically SS I setup @ 33a and MS @ 48a, have encountered problems when didnt prep normally requiring more heat. Try some different settings, find a happy medium, most of all have fun

where are the rest of the fab from other members ????

Here's a t3 bottom mount manifold I'm building for my personal b13 build. 1st manifold I've ever attempted, coming out OK I think.

looking good for first manifold what machine ? settings ? material ? tungsten, gas, rod ?

Thanks! I'm using the AHP Alpha tig200. Mild steel head flange, 304ss sch10 runners, t3 flange and collector. Using a #14 cup, argon set at 25-28cfh, orange tungsten, 308L filler rod, 309 for flange to runners. Welded at around 80-90amps, and using solar flux on the back side.

this is my favorite thread...

(the crud//bubly looking ness is from the lead body filler/solder i used...the weld came out nice,,,but i wanted to use a lead filler vs body filler...just becasue..

@dorsey61 awesome machine, were you one of the people who purchased during the initial offer when AHP first came out ? I love my AHP, its such a beast and with the flexibility of 110 and 220v I've sold so many by word of mouth to alot of the shops I did fab work for. I taught them all very well, and with the controls that the machine offers like higher end Miller and Lincoln machines for 1/3 of the price used. Gave them enough room to budget in quality consumables.

@enohand nice work on getting the rust out, lead filler...a dying method of body work. Keep it up everyone !!!

back from the deadddddddd
sneak peak at next stage of power... bigger plenum

That looks sick! Is that going on the 240?
