Turbo Manifolds - Finished Product

i dont know if coloration indicates a good weld...being its that color because of the heat....although the welds do look really good....either way once its on a running car the whole manifold will be that color anyways...
pretty nice mani's

What do you think of this? http://www.industrialtool.com/walter-surfox.htmlThat looks good but it will all change back as soon as it gets hot. that was designed for use on Stainless that never sees exh temps.

Coloration of a weld is good. A weld with zero color or that looks black shows contamination of either material, filler, or the tungsten. Again, color = good.

No color indiciates the weld was either welded to hot or has contamination in it. Heat is irrelevant to the coloration.

no experience ...hahahaha
coloration comes from clean, continuous welds...and if you continuously weld...it gets hot...which forms the color!
but what do i know about welding....

did you forget to read the second part of the 2nd quote there Chuck??? ...did you think i was contradicting myself????....because you forgot to read the 2nd part of what i said...
Here i will repost it for you....
"coloration comes from clean, continuous welds...and if you continuously weld...it gets hot...which forms the color!"if coloration doesnt come from heat....where does it come from??? the metal...no...

Yeah your right wtf do i know. So your saying if i go run a short bead right now w/ little amps its not gonna color?
I guess i found a new employee welder/fabricator i've been looking for!! Feel free to stop in for your hands on interview and if im impressed, you got a job.
-
i never said you didnt know anything about welding....i know if you go run a short bead it will color...i never said it wouldnt so i dont know where you got that impression....i'm just saying that the color comes from the heat..
I said that coloration comes from a clean continous weld...
....integra gsr ...i've tig welded on aluminum, and some different kinds of steel...i havent made any manifold or anything like nick has....
sure i'll stop by the shop ...run some beads for you just for fun...but you can find someone else to weld for ya.

Got the impression from your comment above.
I dont really know anyone who runs long continous beads, especially on manifolds and piping unless you wanted a distorted and warped piece. What your saying is you need to run a long continous weld to get the material hot in order to create color which is completly untrue and completly and backwards. If what your saying was true the first couple welds would not have any color due to the material not being "hot".
You're always the "know it all" so we'll just leave it @ that. This wasn't a welding 101 post anyways.
-
no ...you're always the know it all....
but whatever..
i dont know anyone who welds for a second..then stops, then welds for another second, then stops...but with a manifold like that...i'd think you would weld half the side of the pipe, and then the other side.
please explain to me where the color comes from if it doesnt come from the heat....
-
i did compliment him....i said they were good designs and everything...alls i said is the color was from the heat...i wasnt bitching just stating something...didnt mean to start a bitch fest.
