Thank you so much for you reply. What type of school?

I didn't go to school..i learn it by experience and i don't think theres a school for

quartz fabricator. To know what type of welding i am doing. just type quartz fabrication. I am think to swicth my welding to tig welding. thank you for your time.

@intltrade09 I went to a technical high school then a community college where this video was filmed 3 years ago.

Hello, I enjoyed watching your video. I am also a welder but, it's different type of welding. We're using quartz glass and we're also dark glasses or dark helmets.

we used glass rods for welding using our two to three fingers to run the rods.

this type of materials or parts are using in the silcon valley and using Hyrogen and oxygen. I have a 20 plus working experinces. Do you think i can adopt my skill to this type of skill?

Thank you.

@intltrade09 I didn't even know you could repair glass like that. That sounds similar to Oxy-Acetylene welding (OAW) though. Schools start you off with that process when you first start welding then you upgrade to the electric arc with TIG. TIG is almost the same but you control the heat with a foot pedal, add filler wire, and keep a sharp tungsten rod close to the molten puddle. The tungsten provides the arc and if you touch the molten metal, it will stick to it and you have to re-grind it.

and btw are you using helium as sheilding gas?

[hool10]

@Sharmanmobile No you can't use just helium. You gotta use Argon 100% or mostly Argon and Helium for that extra heat and penetration. Nobody uses Helium though because it gets prohibitively expensive and you seek other alternatives to get a similar effect to using Helium. One is believe it or not, Hydrogen and they used that volatile stuff for the Hindenburg balloon.

I tried using helium and now I talk funny.

as I said I only would use it on thicker metal. Most of the time i'm welding thin guage pipe for turbo kits. But even if i'm welding intercoolers or radiators or water tanks I still don't like the water torch. Just my opinion. When I do weld aluminum I never run 100% all the time. I set my amps and fluctuate with the pedal. Aluminum gets hot and so does the torch, i just compensate by taking little breaks or changing the way I hold the torch cause it only gets hot near the nozzel

man your moving your filler rod alittle to much its a steady action bro like your weaving the filler into the joint..good job though and keep at it...the local 26 are always looking for good tig welders

you really got the ac going ha lol

Good video ^_^ @supernumber777 Hmu with a friend request I have some questions

[TheChosen1337]

The true beauty of the world is within the welder

@cougarkid18 Why do people perpetuate this myth? What is a pain in the ass about water cooling? The cool torch handle? The comfort? The cost of water? I love it and use city water pressure. Why do all of the welding machine manufacturers offer water cooling? The public didnt like the wheel when it was invented either!
