This particular video is about tack welds when TIG welding, but the principle works for MIG welding as well. Why do your tack welds matter? What if you use very small tacks? The truth is that if you are TIG welding, and capable of making very very small tacks in areas where you are going to be laying down a bigger weld bead, then you can cover that tack without it creating a big bump in your final weld. But this becomes harder when TIG welding aluminum as that tiny tack is a lot more difficult to do than it is when welding steel. So where should you be placing your tack welds so that your final weld is both strong and beautiful?
Video Description:
So many nice tig welds have been ruined by a tacking job that could have been done differently. This is a BIG SUBJECT that a lot of people don’t even address. Simply following a few things I’ve learned by making mistakes over the years could save someone from some annoying problems here and there, but also to actually serve a purpose of helping with heat and profile control. Grab a cup of coffee, and let’s hang🤙🤙
