TIG Welding Carbon Steel, Stainless, Aluminum, and Titanium

To learn more about the TIG pro kit used in this video, Visit my store at

Cleaning the metal prior to tig welding is still a fundamental that a lot of people skip.
Hot rolled carbon steel can have a very thick layer of mill scale that needs to be completely removed and not just polished over.
Heavily oxidized aluminum also needs to be cleaning using an abrasive that is designed for aluminum with light pressure so as not to smear oxides.

Still... after all these years you present an easy, no thrills, hard-hitting lesson. Thank you Jodi for continuing to share your wealth of experience.

I learnt a lot watching the gentleman's videos thank you

[mackmcelroy]

Thanks Jody, starting an aluminum job this weekend. Been practicing up and watching a lot of your videos lately,

During this hard times, I mean, I'm not getting bombed or anything, but fellow apes are... This is all a welder needs, seeing a puddle of molten metal, being manipulated by another fellow welder, to perfection, It is so satisfying to see you weld man. Thx :)

Clear cups saved me from bad welds, I don't see well (no matter the distance lol) so the extra light makes a huge difference. Bigger than I would have ever imagined

[johnjelinek-gb]

A lot of thought sure went into this one ... I think maybe your best one you packed into an under fourteen minute video yet Jody . :) I always learn something from one of these videos, thanks Jody . :)

You need to be very proud. You made plenty of good welders all over the world, and I am from Macedonia 🇲🇰 like you channel and found very helpful for welding all technics. Thanks a lot

12:20 That #8 was always my favorite for stainless; inside corners the stick can come out a bit further, and outside corners you can bring it in. Also, a piece of aluminum angle behind that pass would improve all 3 of those welds. I just love your videos. You always have good information about CFH and amps that other channels neglect.

G'day, Jody, great educational content. I have been in the fabrication/engineering game for 45 years but I never fail to learn some tips especially on aluminium. Thank you

I weld intake aluminum pipes for 30+psi of boost the same way - just moving the torch up a little bit every time I add filler. Helps a lot! 🤙
#5 cup works great!

As for the titanium... for the exhaust Ti pipe even Fupa12 isn't enough, I use #20 monster style cup.
