From http://www.kevincaron.com - Artist Kevin Caron addresses how to fuse weld with a TIG welder - and whether you should fuse weld at all. In fuse welding,

https://kevincaron.com/2012/12/05/how-to-fuse-weld-or-should-you/
In fuse welding, you use your TIG torch to melt metal from each piece to join two pieces of metal together. Kevin says there are good times to fuse weld, bad times to fuse weld, and times it really doesn't matter. He preps a piece of 1/8″ steel, removing the scale and cleaning up the edges. Then he set the metal on a "lift kit" - two

For the next section with the 1/16″ of an inch tack weld, he starts in a section that is not welded. Kevin welds over the first tack, backs off again, goes right up to the tack weld and stops. He hops over the next tack weld and stops. You can see where the texture changed and the weld got bigger as he went over the one tack weld.

Kevin has a tenant who also works in this area. So rather than him get flashed by arc light in his eyes, Kevin just bent up a metal shield. It works really darn well! The shield also blocks the wind if Kevin has any doors open. If he has his evaporative cooler running, the shield can also block the breeze from it so he can still weld safely.

https://kevincaron.com/2016/03/23/how-to-plug-weld-and-why-youd-want-to/
Yes: plug welding. "It's really easy," says Kevin. Draw a line on one piece of metal where you want the other piece of metal to sit. Then mark where you want to drill holes. Then put the other piece of metal on the line over the holes and weld right through the holes.

He just typed in "90 weld gas" to find it. So if you're not getting the gas coverage you should or your welds are crappy, look behind the machine. The problem might be back there, and this is a good way to fix it. Kevin appreciates you watching. If you haven't already, hit that "subscribe: button to be the first to see his free how-to

The keys to TIG welding aluminum without filler rod are in the cleaning of the material and the fitting of the joints. The aluminum oxide layer must be removed using a stainless-steel wire brush and acetone. The process requires joints with no gaps. Materials that are thicker than 1/8" work best. In the following article, we'll discuss the

Kevin is using the Everlast PowerTIG 255EXT. He shows how to set the machine on sine wave and on triangular wave. Other than that, he isn't changing any other settings. He has the welder set at 80 amps, the AC frequency at 60 hertz, and the AC balance at 35 percent. He puts on his safety gear and first tacks then welds a section set at sine

On the control panel of the 250EX, Kevin goes to the spot weld timer section and pushes the spot welder button to "on.". The welder shifts the 2T / 4T function to 2T automatically. Kevin says the spot welder seems to like to run a little hotter than if you are just welding. Usually, you'd run the1/8″ cold rolled plate steel he is using

It's a 160 amp, 110 volt TIG welder that includes AC so you can weld aluminum and DC that allows you to weld almost everything else, and it's a stick welder (arc welder). Kevin then explains what's on the control panel, starting with the panel control / foot pedal rocker switch, which lets you control the welder from either location

Upslope is set to zero. Starting wire feed is set at 60. There's no need for pre-flow with flux core. Kevin sets the starting voltage at 19 volts. He gets a piece of scrap metal to run a few weldng beads on and see how it works. Kevin welds for a bit, then turns up the wire feed a little. After welding, he uses a wire brush and a chisel to

https://kevincaron.com/2018/11/14/should-you-use-a-lap-joint-or-a-butt-joint-when-welding/
Watch on. A viewer, Steve, asked why you would use a lap joint instead of a butt joint. A butt joint is simply two pieces of steel - or wood or whatever you're working - put together end to end or edge to edge. When you weld them together, they come out flat. With thick metal, Kevin chamfers the edges of the metal to get a strong joint.
