TIG WELDING STAINLESS STEEL - HOW TO TIG WELD STAINLESS STEEL FOR BEGINNERS!

WHATS UP AND WELCOME TO MY TIG WELDING STAINLESS STEEL - HOW TO TIG WELD STAINLESS STEEL FOR BEGINNERS SERIES!!!!

I am super stoked to drop this episode, as Ive gotten many requests on How To Tig Weld Stainless Steel. Tig Welding Stainless Steel is a bit of a beast, and I find that most videos on How To Tig Weld Stainless Steel don't cover the absolute BEGINNER basics! So today, we drill down on those basics, so that anyone getting started out can learn without getting overwhelmed.

***Our Tig Welding Stainless Steel setup for this episode:***
1/16" 308L Stainless Steel filler rod
3/32" 2% Lanthanated tungsten
1/4" 304 Stainless Steel plate
100% argon gas
***refer to video for exact machine and gas settings***

***SAFETY EQUIPTMENT***
Eye protection, gloves (without holes) Welding helmet shade 10, Long sleeves (no exposed skin) hearing protection, and proper ventilation!!!

My CanaWeld review and demo:

If you have any Tig Welding Art Project ideas, or any ideas for a How To Tig Weld Aluminum ideas, please comment below and let me know! I might shout you out and make an episode about it! (No promises:)

My channel is all about Tig Welding. But more specifically, Tig Welding Art. When it comes to Tig Welding, I get a special kind of excited when I get to take all the experience Ive had over 18 years with Welding, and get to blast on some fun Tig Welding Art.
I wanted to make a cool channel that's all about Tig Welding, but also get into the fun and Art side of making Welding artwork. So, join me on my channel as I come up with Welding Art Projects and film and show the FUN of Tig Welding Aluminum, Tig Welding Steel, and Tig Welding Stainless Steel, to the world.

Lets sparrrrrrk it up!

Hello Dusty. I am 76 years old and have been TIG welding for about 25 years now, and to say I love TIG welding is an understatement. I have been following a bunch of your videos and a few others, especially since I recently purchased an Everlast Power TIG 210 EXT welder. I have been TIG welding at home for years with a Miller Econotig ( 150 A ) AC/DC TIG welder. You have been a huge help for me figuring out all the digital settings, especially for welding aluminum with the Everlast that is a bit mind boggling for me. I used a Miller Syncrowave 350 at work before I retired in 2009 but have forgotten all the digital settings. I am by no means an electronics specialist like you younger folks. You have been a huge help for me to get started with the new Inverter type welder that obviously gives me so much more fine tuning of the welding capabilities with the new machine over the old "set it on AC, select the percentage of amps, and weld" - that was it in the way of fine tuning. The Econotig is a great machine for the price point when new ( I bought mine at an auction with 10 hrs. use for short $ ), but it is time for me to move on to perfect my abilities. This is the purpose of my long comment. You, young feller, have been a tremendous help to me. One is never too old to learn new tricks and it matters not if you are a lot younger than me. You are a great enthusiastic teacher as well as wonderful artist. I did custom painting, free hand pin striping, airbrush murals, graphics, glass etching etc. for many years during self employment and are amazed with your enthusiasm, patience, and talent. There is something different in the way you teach and come across. Thank you for your help. I am on my way to being a better TIG welder due to people like yourself who take the time to make these helpful videos. One needs to be humble if they are to progress in knowledge. Thanks !!!

My dude, talk about someone taking the time to get someone else setup right. All the detail in your video literally answered so many questions, even questions I didnt know to ask. Efforts much appreciated, awesome work by the way. Subscribed for sure.

[hbadge]

Make it look so easy. I don’t think people realize how uniform these welds are 😮

[bg]

So I'm a lady, who has welded for nearly 3 years on plane frames and there were tips in here I had never heard before. Honestly I learned so many things I can adapt in my setup and why certain effects happen. This is my first time delving into utube learning and your stuff is top notch. People don't have to sift through a million sources if they can find one very thorough teacher. You are epic!

[jayjames]

I learn more from you than the college class I took. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!

[No_contest]

Been in the trades 20+ years been in commercial but only experience welding is watching my steel guys erect steel. Wanted to get a welder to play with and this video gave me all the tools I needed. Good teacher can answer all your questions, a great teacher answers the questions you didn’t know to ask.

[johnmacmillan]

Watched this again after seeing it 2 years ago . Still find it excellently done

[dennisnbrown]

The best instructional videos get straight to the welding and a lot less talking. Thank you.

[subgtay]

You improved my welds so much, that's the first time I understand how to look at the puddle! 👍🏻

[Dwugget]

This video taught me more than ive learned at 7 years at my job. 😂 thanks man.

[LegacyGarage]

For Christmas I'm taking over my dads syncrowave 200, this has been the best of many how to tig videos, can't wait to start practicing

[DCweldingAndArt]

Yep I can tell this ain't your first teaching rodeo dude. Lol very nice, u have a very patient, informative, enjoyable style. Not sarcastic or intimidating. Very nice brother! U were made for a leadership role in welding ide say. As usual, killin it! And ur format is different than everyone else, ide compare you to a less-sarcastic Bob Moffett teaching style. Very thorough

[jamesoliva]

I have been welding for a while now stick and mig only used a tig welder a small amount in school. I finally got a tig welder and am just learning your videos have been great for me and have help me already in the few I've watch thank you

[mikesargent]

Thanks for the clear explanation that I have not heard before. You have added points that others have left out probably assuming we know them. I will definitely be back for more.

[greenland]

Have learned a lot from you, both basic Tig welding on stainless steel and aluminum. Watching back and forth many times plus jotting down the key settings. Thank you so much for sharing this friendly and informative VDO. Keep generating good stuffs like this, please. Greetings from Thailand.

[NigelTolley]

Good so far, but regarding the magnet test, (most common) stainless steel isn't magnetic "inside" - it isn't the passivation layer! That layer is nanometers thick - far thinner than any paint layer, but *self-healing* in air. Also, most stainless is a little bit magnetic if you use a really strong modern magnet.
Very detailed and good video so far!

[michaelszczys]

Stainless steel usually welds really nice, the tricks are getting everything just right so it doesnt burn through to the other side.

[gabrielrodriguez]

Wow going back and re-watching this video was such a great refresher. Thank you man

[shawng]

This is the video so many of us needed to see!! Love the start up from plugging machine in 1st time. It will save me so much time and consumables, I think. It has to be a boring life for anyone who can watch something like this and not learn at least a few small details. Im getting ready to ac/dc tig a ton of pipe and seamless stainless up to 5" and thin wall aluminum is awful expensive to dive into and scrap.

[joebyrge]

Awesome, nice instruction video, Dusty I’m definitely going to follow your videos. Thanks for the details.
