r/BadWelding

Any value got it in a scavange hunt there was more things but were already butchered or torn apart and it seemed new so i took it and thought nothing of it just threw it in my bag and moved on, threw it in my garage and moved on, now im running back through the stuff ive gathered so far and i dont know where to sell it or what it does or if i can even use it myself since i know nothing of welding. Lmk if you know what it is and what its for

Why does my tungsten look like this? I'm using Maxstar 161, welding stainless steel 14 gage filet. Ever since I changed my cylinder my welds are looking like ass and burning my tungsten. The color and flow was completely fine until I changed my gas cylinder.

Pictures are a few weeks apart

I was asked to TIG weld some 3/4" BSP threads onto a three-piece socket-weld ball valve. Are the results okay? (The black stuff on top of the welds is melted rubber from my gloves.)

Flux welding

Bumped the volts up to 20 this time to see what happens.

Settings: Yeswelder DP200, 100A / 20.0V, 0.030" wire, 14 Ga stainless, 2T, 348 IPM wire speed, 98/2 Ar-CO2.

Honestly looks worse than before lol.
Face and backside pics attached. What am I doing wrong?

Hello all. So long story short. I’m certified welding engineer responsible for making welding documentation according EN ISO standards in a metal working factory. The problems i was facing were:
1: Client not providing DWG/DXF drawings to draw weld symbols on. Or lacking drawing symbols.
2: Tedious bureaucracy with which welds are covered with WPQR according to EN ISO 15614-1 and which welder can cover the specific weld according to EN ISO 9606-1.
3: Making a sufficient WPS that is both production worthy and follows the EN ISO 15609 standard which is by the way also connected to the WPQR.
4: Making the complete documentation(Welds on drawing,WPQR certs, WPS procedures, welders, company certs and ndt operaters/results into one cohesive file.

This is why i made my own website that has all those things incorporated into one and is free to use. The site is called Prokon.si and would love if you could give some feedback and maybe problems that occur to you and would gladly help your work easier if you are facing same problems.

I wont go into details here because there are quite a lot surfaces to touch but if anyone has any questions feel free to reach out to me.

Hope that it helps some of you.
Best Regards
