Following on from my previous post about the Argon I believe is contaminated I decided to take a video.
The sound sadly was not recorded for some reason which is a shame as there is a notable difference between the two cylinders but hopefully the video will also show the differences.
The first weld is with the "bad" Argon, the second is with the "good"
You should be able to see the lack of cleaning in the first, you may also see the "sparks" coming off the weld when it crackles. On the second weld you should see the wide band either side where the metal is being cleaned and also there are no "sparks" as it was a nice smooth weld with no crackling.
The pics of both welds.
First the "Bad" Argon
Next the "Good" Argon.
All settings were the same and I deliberately kept torch movement straight with no weaving etc.
Here is the video, thoughts welcome
I was also going to @ the SGS guy that is sometimes here but can't remember his name so.....
