Devils eye

admin

I have seen someone refer to seeing devils eye when Tig welding what do they mean
Reply:A quick Google search turned this up from an archived WW thread.The "devil's eye" is a fluid dot in the center of the weld puddle that is formed by foreign (but not worrisome) elements, such as silicon on a mild steel application, which continuously dances around in the weld puddle. If an operator sees the "devil's eye," it is insurance that the torch angle, travel speed, root opening and filler metal are properly positioned and that he has adjusted the amperage setting correctly. If the operator does not see the "devil's eye," it is a sign that one of the physical variables is not correct and should be adjusted accordingly.
Reply:The above quote was taken from this article from Miller's site:http://www.millerwelds.com/resources...-pipe-welding/I have posted it before on here. It's a good article, and like they say, if you do things right, you will see it. Pretty cool to see. kidtigger24  They think I’m crazy, but I know better. It is not I who am crazy. It is I who am MAD!
