Burning up tunsten on stainless

He's using .062 tunsten and filler.

What would happen if he has run out of argon?

Any chance he switched the polarity?

That's what I'm thinking..... he said, he didn't do anything different.

Oh well, I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

Thanks, Jack

Sounds like he is not using gas.

I recently had a similar problem..my gas line had gotten badly kinked..It finally dawned on me I wasnt hearing the post flow (my hearing is not good to begin with).

Thanks for all the responses,

He just got a new bottle of gas.

He told me he had not changed anything but, come to find out, he had switched it over to stick for a few days and when he changes it back to tig he started having problems.

Thanks again for all the replies, Jack

So was he out of gas?

I never made it to his shop, he came by to get the manual for the sd180.

From talking to him it was either: he had the handle (dc+, dc-, ac) in the wrong position or, he forgot to push the little button on the front of the machine changing it from stick to tig operation mode.

Walking is highly over-rated.........

Modern man makes tire tracks rather than footprints, in the sands of time.
