Ulu Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 Ok, I could have bought a spot welder, as I’m welding the edge of a floor pan. but I decided I should just plug weld with the TIG. I only had to do two dozen, and though it is 10x slower, it would take longer to go buy and set up a new welder. It did take me a couple tries to figure out the process and get really good welds. But after I had made several of them successfully I started to get bored, and that’s when I noticed what happens in the puddle. When I hold the torch vertically, directly over the puddle, for the final fusion, the molten steel spins. Not rapidly but noticeably & it doesn’t really do it well until I get a good fusion. It stops instantly when I release the button and the cold Argon chills the weld. (I do not know why the iPhone decides to capitalize the word Argon, but since it is a noble gas I will continue to allow this.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
