haha u wernt of had a tig in them days, just a decent set of rivets and a hand riveter haha
for your info Bastid
Gas tungsten arc welding, after decades of development, was finally perfected in 1941, and gas metal arc welding followed in 1948, allowing for fast welding of non-ferrous materials but requiring expensive shielding gases.
haha.haha showing some age there arnt, did u help develop it in 1948
you mean tungsten in gas ?
what size rivets did u use on the spitfires, just out of curiosity
, need to change my gas bottle for me tig, will pure argon be ok for use on me landy and also other applicants, or is there any better gas as an all rounder
Have a look herehaha, my engineering knowladge isnt great on standard sizes of rivets, but thanks

Argon is the best but expensive...... gives a cleaner weld. but most use a 80-20 mix of argon/ co2 cleaner and gives better penetration.
If wanting cheap than co2 will work but more splatter.
I would use 80/20 mix........ But Doc will come along and say co2 pub gas
use full argon in the workshop or Argo mix as I'm not paying but when I'm at home CO2 and a little extra cleaning is fine by meArgon is the best but expensive...... gives a cleaner weld. but most use a 80-20 mix of argon/ co2 cleaner and gives better penetration.

hahahaha by doc u mean dr evil?
yh we just use pure argon at work, didnt relise it was expensive, il turn me torch of at end of day then

Probably not so bad if you have a boc account at work etc but for someone at home it ends up at like £50 a bottle from them! Or £25 if you go somewhere else where you bring and they fill
I'm happy enough with splatter anyway
didnt refresh page opps
haha I dont want too much splatter on my bumper
It'll be done in the uni shop so full Argo or Argo mix will be used as I've already paid them 9k
ahh thats alrete then
