Sorry for the multiple posts. I dont know why it wont let me post more then one pic at a time but either way some more of my welds from some 2014 m5 down pipes
very nice. quick tip to avoid that crater in the alum, taper off slowly and away from the center of the puddle.
That crater almost always cracks if not filled

Looks good Hoochhenry ^^^^Did you get a pedal yet? For your machine? And yea aluminum has a bunch of surface tension. Abruptly ending the weld will cause the craters. Let off slowly and move the tungsten around in a circle. This will help.
Some first generation Camaro Upper Control Arm Welds! Cheers Hope everyone has a great Holiday!
Weld lab retraining at work. 3g up mig pulse. Had to bend test 1 1/2 strips off each side which booth root pass and cover pass passed. Got best weld last week lol. Sorry pic sucks. If your wondering y it says 2g I wrote it wrong.
Hi, does someone know a cause of these dark arease around the weld area? After welding it is nice and clean but after two or three days these dark areas will apear. First picture is taken just after welding and there is no dark areas. These are my first manifolds and I dont know what Im doing wrong. Im using green 3M scotch brite sheet to get smooth surface and then proper acetone wash with cloth. I think it may be wrong preparation but I have tried everything and nothing helped still.
