Remove the flow meter from the tank. If the tank valve is leaking then return it for a replacement. The tank should NEVER leak. Not sure what you mean by that cj. if the tank valve was leaking then everything up to the solonoid valve would stay preesurized until the tank ran out. And as I said in o...

I've been trying to find a slow leak in the argon supply of my AHP Alpha tig 200, since I got it 2 months ago. It was leaking much worse, but I got AHP to send me a new flowmeter, and now it is very slow. Here is what I did this morning to give you guys an idea of the leak. First, I never turned the...

The composition of the actual filler rod differs between the two, so yes, each requires their own type of "shielding" (flux in the case of Low Fuming, Argon for SilBr). OA welding rods are not always suitable for use with TIG welding due to the dependency on shielding gas. OK, so now I th...

Low fuming bronze (RBCuZn-C) needs flux. Silicon Bronze (ERCuSi-A) does not. Sounds like you bought rods best suited to OA welding So why does one need flux, and the other doesn't?? Is it because of the different properties of each, or is it just because the silicon bronze is used with tig, so has ...

Very new to all this (welding and forums), so bear with me. I've read posts where guys talk about tig brazing with silicon bronze filler. Went to my LWS and bought a 1 pound tube of, what I now see is "low fuming bronze" filler. Can't find anything on tube that says silicon. Is there a dif...
