Re: Need help with contamination in metal
Unfortunately I can't get any pictures. I was thinking though, It seemed like at first it welded fine but after a while it would start boiling. I didn't clean the back side of the welded area before I welded so could it be that once the area heated up it started to penetrate all the way and that's w...

Also, does it matter what a back purge block is made of? I know stainless and copper are good choices, but could I use aluminum o...
