Dont bother. TIG is a clean process. No flux required.Has anyone tried to Braze with a Tig welder using silicon bronze and flux and no shielding gas?
Your tungsten would "burn", for want of a better word, without gas. Shielding gas is not just there for the workpiece.
I appreciate what you say my thoughts are more directed at saving costs involved in the shielding gas i principally use Hobbyweld as a supplier but the prices have risen so substantiallyDont bother. TIG is a clean process. No flux required.
Using the correct Rods Sif No8 (C11) or Sif 968. with a blunted electrode, amps around 75%. Will give optimum results
Not possible to use TIG without gas. The electrode will burn up in seconds.I appreciate what you say my thoughts are more directed at saving costs involved in the shielding gas i principally use Hobbyweld as a supplier but the prices have risen so substantially
Around there. You want to be heating the material up not melting it. A blunt electrode will help with heat dispersionI’m interested in trying this technique. Amps 75% of normal welding current, I assume? Never brazed before…
Not necessarily, dependant upon what’s being welded you can use Ar/He, Ar/H2, Ar/N2 or Ar/O2The gas MUST be pure Argon
I was trying to keep the info confined to the OPs question, so as not to over load them with info.Not necessarily, dependant upon what’s being welded you can use Ar/He, Ar/H2, Ar/N2 or Ar/O2

Reading between the lines the OP is unlikely to come cross any of the mixes.
@Franchini. what are you trying to do, and what with.
