TIG welding of SUS304: shot with CAVILUX lasers

This is a TIG welding shot using our CAVILUX lasers. The electrode tip in this case is Tungsten and the base material is SUS304 (Japanese JIS standard) which is one of the most common variations of stainless steel and is made up of 18% Chromium and 8% nickel allowing it to have be strong and have a high heat resistance in high and low temperatures. TIG welding creates a bright arc that does not allow us to fully peak through it and see the process details. Our laser illumination system enables filtering out the bright thermal light generated by the welding process, thus allowing you to see the #invisibleworld beneath it with beautiful details. Researchers around the world are using our #laser #illumination systems to make new discoveries and analyze even the smallest of details in welding, which would otherwise be nearly impossible to achieve.

Cool video, as always. Very nice music!

I have so many questions. Mainly what is up with the tungsten spattering. And why is the puddle dancing? When I’m welding stainless the puddle appears smooth and still. If not it’s often bad shielding conditions. I don’t have any spatter or anything like that leaving the puddle but I guess it’s small enough spatter that it probably burns off completely.
