TIG Welding 1/4" thick Stainless Fillet Weld
50,279
Published 2024-04-27
I found a few pieces of laser cut 1/4" thick 304L stainless in one of my scrap buckets so I am using it for a lap joint video.
Stainless steel requires less amperage than carbon steels so even for 1/4" thickness, I only used 95-105 amps.
In fact, I was plugged in to a 115volt circuit for this video using a primeweld 325

I'm a certified welder and have been doing sanitary stainless steel welding in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, aerospace and chemical industries for 30 years, my welds are perfect...always...they have to be, people's lives and health are on the line, and I don't walk the cup. Walking the cup is fine for people who are learning to weld or for hobbyists, but don't get trapped by it if welding is going to be a career choice, expand your knowledge, free hand is the way to go in all circumstances. When you are in a confined area and hardly have enough room to ram your helmet in that space, barely able to move your hands, walking the cup is not an option. When you have to mirror weld because the joint is not visible, attempting to walk the cup is not a good choice, tying yourself into a knot in the rafters trying to get to finish that last pipe joint is not a cup walking situation. Jody, you are obviously very talented, I too, have taught people how to weld, skilled trades people are hard to find, and from one professional to another, it's up to people like us to help newcomers to our field consider this as a future career. Keep up the good work, your videos are very educational. Knowledge is the key to success. Cheers!

Thanks for sharing with us Jody. Great information and technique. Fred.

Interesting amp setting. I always thought stainless was around 25A to 35A per mm, Jody's works out at around 16A/mm with mild being +10%.
