Tig Welding question

Oh, back to the cast question. Cast steel does not require special rod. Cast iron does. Big difference. Bothe require pre-heat and post cooling control manly due to the dissimilarity in mass's.

I stuck it together. Welded the unlike stuff and beat the shit out of it with a hammer,then did the arms. I'm confident it will hold, but that definitely makes me feel better.

I just re-used this old post to avoid clutter.

On the Lanthanated thing - that's what I run for steel. I know the red & green but forget all the others.
I know what I run for steel is gold, but I forgot what the color meant so that's why I asked.

I've also never head an issue with it balling on steel or stainless. I use something different (brown) for aluminum.

On my stuff that is 3/16" - 1/4" thickness I'm typically running a 3/32" tungsten & 120-135 amps.

On my stuff that is .09" - 1/8" thickness or so I'm typically running a 3/32" tungsten & 100-120 amps.

This is one thing I read when I saw this post again yesterday, but forgot to address it once I saw the new question
