Hi All,
Having a bit of trouble with my welder, which I'm pretty sure is down to the tungsten.
Recently bought some 'cheaper' parweld tungstens (usually use elland) and i'm finding on strike up (on ali) that they break up throwing bits of tungsten into the weld.
To give an idea of how much, i'm probably losing about 1/4" of tungsten every 10 or so 2" welds.
It only happens on intial start up of the hf before the power kicks in, then it's fine.
Running at around 190amp with 2.4 tungstens.
Any other ideas?
