Hi all,
I was wondering if I could have some feedback please. I am trying to improve my tig skills on stainless to avoid over-cooking the steel while still getting good penetration and would appreciate some thoughts on what I'm doing wrong.
Spec:
* Material : 304 Stainless, 2mm
* Welder : Parweld XTT 202P
* Gas Flow : 7-10 lpm
* Tungsten : 1.6mm
* Filler : 1mm, 316 stainless
* Amps : 55
You can see in the first pic - I really feel like this is "rushing" to avoid getting to much heat in - which looks fine, but I don't think has enough penetration and I've been told it is too cold?
The 2nd pic - good penetration and felt like it flows better, but I think too hot and overcooked?
Both still the same setup - I just changed the "pace"
You can see other attempts - in an effort to improve I've tried all flavours - including far too fast, no filler at all - all sorts to see what I can do.
