melting TIG electrode

[jpl89]

Hi all, I had the OP on the melting TIG electrode...I had accidently created my account with my full real name and I had to have it withdrawn and changed. Losing the OP in the process.:

So in summary, change balance to 75%
Use the blue electrode, 3/32"
more like 70 amps IIRC
Be prepared to move the bead quickly
use 15-17 CFH
reduce pre-flow to a second or less

It's a 26 air cooled torch.

Thanks for your patience and help

So what's the question?

yes, use the 2% Lanthanated. You might need more amperage. It all depends. You need a puddle in 3 seconds or less. Otherwise you likely aren't using enough heat.
