Help Learning TIG

HQ plenty of room at my place to park a Q.

and create fucking havoc and will COVER UP THIS TIME. fuck.

just make sure it doesn't get to close to the fords, the rust will jump

isn't welding burn so much more painful than sun burn!

Can be as it has shorter wavelengths than what we get from the sun due to earths atmosphere blocking them.

welding generates a very broad spectrum of electromagnetic waves, from radio all the way to some x rays.

Ford rust isn't quick enough to jump on to a Holden, and we all know Holden's don't rust

[psyolent]

yep. holdens don't rust. MUCH.
SAID NO ONE EVER

um, those rods I had for the TIG are carbon steel it turns out.
i ordered some stainless ones today

[HQ355]

What thickness ?

[psyolent]

the carbon ones are 1.6
the stainless ones i got are 1.2

only if they are submerged in the sea or sulfuric acid.

fords rust as they get built in the factory. There is truth to the last statement seeing how many brand new fords have rusted out in weeks of purchase as of late.

What are carbon rods used for?

Hey, while im at it, ive got a question for HQ. I brought a race port bov for my VL, it came with an alloy V band weld on, my piping is steel, i ordered a stainless weld on today. Will that work with the stainless rods we used on the week end with out problem?

high strength steel.

high carbon steel is what give rise to high strength steel alloys such used in tools and fasteners, engine parts. eg push rods.

They will be betterer, the carbon ones u had were way too thick, don't want to put too much weight in the uber mobile lol
