Tig welder help
 

I am new to tig welding and wanted to tig weld my pypes 304 stainless steel exhaust. My question is, what tig wire material would be the best for this?
Thanks,
Jon

you can use 308 or 316....I use 316 for filler but if I prep right fuse no filler.

TIG or MIG??? MIG uses wire --- as in a roll of it.... TIG uses fill material

Thanks for responses. Yes I was looking for fill material

filler rod :catfight: :lol:

I would recommend back purging your welds on stainless. I find that using small diameter filler is easier. I have started using .030" mig wire recently and that works great with a 1/16" tungsten.

Thanks. I just got some scrap pieces today to practice with this weekend

Agreed.....btw the cleaner the better for TIG work on stainless steel

While we are on the subject of TIG, I have been looking for a TIG welder and frankly I have only suceeded in confusing myself. What TIG welders do you guys recommend?

Like most things these questions are budget dependent.... there are great machines that can do everything and there are budget machines that can "TIG" weld....

I run a Miller Dynasty 200 DX and it does everything.... and has been trouble free. IT can do more than I can do or need to do. But when you buy this stuff - you want to buy the best one you can because they hold their value and you don't know what welding you're going to want to do going forward.
