Tig welding stainless and steel with , oh crap.

admin

I love the way stainless tig welds, but I really don't have much experience doing it. I was welding these legs on a small table made with scrap. I was in a hurry and grabbed some rods and everything was going well except for the last short bead. Dang I thought, this bead ain't going very well. I quickly adjusted the gun, and backed off on the pedal and was able to make it flow. I should have stopped after the first two dabs of filler, but decided to finish the bead anyway. I then said, what the heck is wrong with this?
