Re: Is pulse that necessary?

Hi frequency pulsing can stiffen the arc. They said that, but still have no chance to prove it since my welder only has low freq pulse (0,25-10Hz). Really wanna have a inverter machine that could pulsing hi frequency.

Re: Frosted and splitting lanthanated tungstens

Hi,
i'm a beginer in tig welding at "trial n error" level.
In your case, maybe the amp you set was too high.
i usually use 3/32 at only 175/180 amps. Wanna higer

Hope this usefull..
