I get bubbling in my puddle ?

( been welding 14 yrs plus )

I get bubbling in my puddle when tig welding steel ? I can't find the issue.

It's not a gas leak, it's not the gas setup.

I get some bubbles and eventually it'll blow a hole like when you weld with not enough gas .

Could it be the material ? Bad argon (bottle works perfect on alu ) bad tungsten maybe ? Or the material ?

It's thin steel (1.5mm).

Please help me with welding aluminum 😭

I know it looks horrible but it’s so confusing and different compared to normal tig on mild steel

Second time tig welding first go at stainless

These are my first stainless tig welds. 42,7mm x 2mm tube on 6mm thick plate welded with 80
Amps. Any tips to improve? I think I am still to hot/slow right?
Also, do you guys have any tipps on how to best clean the HAZ colors? It is kinda hard to get in the corners with a cleaning disk on my angle grinder.

Thanks in advance yall!
