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.

you might have to weld an inch and stop before welding again so you dont heat up the material too much too rapidly and cause breaks in other welds for example a small air tank for the brake booster on a 1995 cab over kenworth.
