I have been having alot of trouble welding intercooler piping, and i have become convinced that my filler rod may be giving me the trouble, its IA 4043 3/32's rod,
Now using a ck9 with a 3/32 2% lanthenated tungsten tried on all kinds of different a/c balance settings, amperage , and 20 cfh argon.
I put just enough amperage to get a puddle on both sides but i cant break the oxidize film off the filler rod when i put it in unless i add more heat, then the intercooler pipes melt away from each other..
A video would be AMAZING , just a quick video welding intercooler pipes together.
