TIG should be GTAW but it just don't have the same ring to it as TIG

I have been using 3.2 rods, would I be better of using 2.5 or even 1.6
Yes slag. You can galv arc weld but I thought you had to clean it first but a previous post says that a pre clean should clear it. Will try again tomorrow with my inverter but you a thinner rod, 2.5 instead of 3.2
Cheers , waiting for some 1.6 rods to arrive. Will try those before committing to a mig.To clarify my information in the earlier post - the pre galvanising cleaning processes will remove fluxes, waxes, oils, surface rust etc - but you (the welder operative), will need to remove the slag, which you ommitted in your first post. If your welding is good enough, your weld slag will simply peel off if you have the correct weld amperage to speed ratio.
Galvanising process uses acid baths to clean metalwork prior to dipping into the electrolysis tank, which is why it cleans the surfaces so well.
ever tried gas welding?How difficult is tig to master? Mig is my normal weapon of choice but have done a fair bit of stick welding over the years with a bit of brazing thrown in but never used or even seen tig being used.
Gas welding I don,t think I have tried, is it worth buying a tig torch for my small inverter welder?ever tried gas welding?
tbf if you can weld ok then you should pick tig up quick
You'll need the torch and a bottle of argon plus filler wireGas welding I don,t think I have tried, is it worth buying a tig torch for my small inverter welder?
