Re: TIG Silicon Bronze - Black Oxidation

UPDATE: Thanks all for the tips on how to get my silicon bronze welds shiny. I tried again now with 4mm coupon and footpedal between 10-30 Amp, the first weld was horrible, balling up on the material and no good result, it seemed to cold. But the second weld a couple of mm from the first I managed t...

Re: TIG Silicon Bronze - Black Oxidation

Thats very good news, all the videos I see, they dont tell you that you sometimes or most times need to brush the weld free from oxidation. I will try the settings you suggest and keep on practising. Thanks a lot!
