Re: Bumping technique on anodized alum,need help.

Hi Steve, thank you for your time.

So I think maybe I need a bigger cup? and higher flow? What do you think about the amps?

Bumping technique on anodized alum,need help.

Hi all, Tried the bumping tech yesterday, the material is a broken car velg, anodized like a mirror, thickness about 5-6mm. I used Syncrowave 250DX, the settings are: 8LPM 100% Argon, 3/32 1,5% Lant tung, gas lens with cup #6, WP18, 150Amps, balance at 4 (balanced?), wiped with thinner (got no aceto...

Re: Smaller Tungsten and AC Balance???

correct, but you need to turn down the amps, maximum at 150 amps, balance at 68%. got it from miller handbook.

Hi RedIron,
Doesn't the rubber O ring melted when exposed to heat when you were welding? Thank you.

Re: tig torch

Hi RedIron, I just bought CK200 with standard diameter gas saver kit , it's new to me to use gas saver. So here's some question I want to ask to you. The alumina nozzle should be snap on teflon heatsink, am I right? The steel ring on the collet body functioned as nozzle stoper, am I right? The reaso...

Do you have picts of your home made dual flow meter regulator and would you upload here? Maybe I'm going to make one like yours. Thank you Steve.

Re: Tungsten sharpening

I used 1,5% lanth on my Miller Sync 250DX. It's okay, sharpened it but leave a little flat on the tip.

Re: Setup for Gas Lens

Any body would tell me what DOM stands for?
With #5 nozzle and gas lens I think 10cfh is enough (for flat position).

Thank you,

Re: About Gas Saver

hi Steve, been searching a while and found that 1CFH = 0.472LPM. So your 5CFH = 2.36LPM.
Are you sure tour flow is correct? Isn't it too low? I usually use 7-8LPM on #6-7 nozzles.

Thaks,
Stephanus

Re: help! nasty aluminum weld

And it could be also a bad gas..(contaminated or not pure Argon), and make sure you weld it ACHF, no DCEN.

Re: About Gas Saver

I think they're bit different. You can check them out on www.ckworldwide.com . Would you tell the cup size you used with 5cfm argon flow, and on what position did you weld that? Anymore, 1/3 means you save 66%. Thats impresive. I wanna change my regular collet body to gas saver because of that (save...
