Anyone have tips on making a side exit by the way?

I mean they aren't expensive and i like to have a variety , but a sharpened 3/32's tungsten should be pretty much all purpose to an extent.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

I use nothing but 3/32

 

[compression]

I bought and entire gas lens kit from the local welding store for like 7.xx$ the hazmat costs as much as the actual order.

Which leads me to my next question is it normal to be charged hazmat for consumables like that including filler rod?

 

[Sirnixalot]

At my level I doubt I will even be able to tell the difference but, I wasn't able to get the 2% lanthanated in 3/32nd so I just got 1.5%.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Lanth balls up much quicker than ceriated, lanth is better for aluminium.

You might get charged hazmat if you picked up thoriated since it's radioactive.

Don't confuse him
It balls up on a transformer machine not on a inverter machine.

! Everything I have been reading in regards to the inverter machines points to 2% lanthanated being the go to tungsten for all around use. That's why I chose that in particular.

We will see I guess!

Balls up on my diversion on stainless....

I'd say 2% ceriated is a good all around stays sharp for long time. It's notas good on aluminium as lanthinated though.

 

[Gamble97]

That's ####ed up. Mine never did.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

I wasnt very hot either. It wasnt a major ball but enough to make a non sharp tip.
Ceriated even if i contaminate usually stays sharp.

I just finished welding up a sch 10 ss collector earlier, my 2% lanth stayed sharp the whole time. Htp 221

 

[Archer Fabrications]

I'm gonna try again with it.

bit rusty with alloy wleding, but just finished up my new front mount using Tube and Fin core..

Everything's gonna get an acetone rub down before start up.

Look at the compressor inlet and the skatter shield. Needs some chopping to fit a coupler haha.

i am guessing that you don't want to weld directly to the inlet?

I assume your referring to my picture, the inside of the flange is welded as well.

Screw you! My fitup was horrid i purged the inside so no need to weld the inside.

 

[Slow95gsx]

It was easier to just weld both sides in this case. I didn't want to over heat the flange trying to do a single higher amperage pass.

sorry that was for Urban.

you ninja posted right before me

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Why would i weld a dump tube to the inlet? It's vband.... Lol

I actually welded mine unbolted to tue flange and it didn't warp at all.
I have a copper heatsink though.
