Looking for a little guidance. I am going to attempt to weld in a 6 inch wide aluminum strap over the porous area which is marked with the arrow. I would normally send this out but they are behind 3 weeks. I'm thinking 1/8 thick but I will do a short run of maybe only 12 inches. I am thinking of going with 3/32 blue 2% lanthanated tungsten, AC 150 amps foot pedal, #8 cup, 120 Hz and 30 %. Video are the settings I have used on a previous project. @Grant Pratt thank you so much for keeping this Skool going.

I wasn’t just trying to make pretty welds. I was making some gaps, off height welds, cleaning with brush and acetone all the way to no cleaning at all. I had hertz high 170, down to 100. Amps stayed around 85-90 ish with some pedaling(1/16 coupons)Trying to get some tips for when they butt up to each other off height. Do you focus the arc toward the lower piece? Any advice appreciated

I can’t seem to get this stuff to weld for anything, no white on the outside of the weld… been everywhere on settings. I had to run a few beads on a practice pipe after trying this just to make sure I could still weld.

What is everyone using to sharpen tungsten?
