    Tig filler rod 304 pipe to 304 cast

    Thanks for the info. I will look at the links you sent and get more info. So if I back purge the tubing with 100% argon, since it all is tacked up now, do you think I should remove the solar flux that is currently on it?

    Tig filler rod 304 pipe to 304 cast

    I do all the work myself so its just the cost of gas for me. So I spoke too soon, I looked at my solar flux water test again and it is starting to slightly rust in really small areas. Do you think back purging with C25 would be fine? I have a lot of it, its cheaper and I could just use my mig...

    Yes, you MUST backpurge the piping before welding it. Although solar flux powder works 'mostly', it is not as 'good' of a weld zone protector as actually backpurging. I tested some solar flux welds by soaking them in water for a month and the backside didn't rust. I'm welding a couple long 3"...

    Tig filler rod 304 pipe to 304 cast

    DOGDOG, I appreciate your information, Its not the turbo itself it is just a cast 304 stainless 90 degree adapter from the headers to the turbos connected with a V-Band clamp. I would send a picture but I haven't figured out how to yet. Thanks

    Tig filler rod 304 pipe to 304 cast

    Hello I am interesting to find the answer on which rod to use. Like the title says I need to weld a 304 pipe to a 304 cast stainless turbo adapter for my wategates. I've heard both 308L and 309L. Just wondering what you guys would use? Thanks in advance.

    Are "good" die grinders that much better than cheap ones?

    Its a little off subject but, I bought my ELECTRIC HF straight Die Grinder at a garage sale for $15. I've had it for 10+ years and is still a great powerful tool.

    Thinking of buying a new auto lift

    I've been looking for a while and came to a conclusion of Atlas 9KOH 2 post lift. Does anyone own this model and are they happy with the product and service? I do not have any vehicles above 5k so this model should be fine. Thanks

    Atlas 9KOH

    Hello AKA Larry, I am seriously thinking of buying this lift. I am wondering if you are sill happy with it? Also I am 6-2" do you think it would pose a problem for me to work under a fully lifted car. I would greatly appreciate any feedback. Thanks, Rick
