First off I'm new to the forum so hello everyone, that's the introduction over with so here go's.
Like many I've gone out and bought myself a shiny new R-tech 160Amp DC TIG welder and all the gear to boot, armed with my limited welding knowledge & experience and with all the enthusiasm of the usual newbie, I set to welding some stainless pipe.
I've got my back purge set to 6lpm & the torch at about 8lpm pure argon, 25-30A, 2mm 304, 1.6mm red tungsten ground to a sharp point, No.7 ceramic. Is there anything blatantly wrong with this set up?
So what do you think?
The plan is to fabricate a 3" exhaust system (downpipe back) & 2.5" polished charge pipes for my project car and I have a few questions:-
Is it crucial to penetrate all the way through to the inside of the pipe?
Is it wrong to butt weld pipe sections & bends autogenously for an exhaust?
What wall thickness's are generally used as I don't want it to sound like a bee in a coke can. I was thinking either 1.5mm or 2mm 304?
Any advice, comments or criticism is obviously welcome
