Not true, you need all that stuff gone with TIG. Unless you like 50% air in your welds.[/QUOTE]



I've been welding for 13 years and am also a level 1 welding inspector.. Mill scale doesn't create porosity, poor welding technique and/or incorrect parameters do. I wouldn't have opened my mouth if I didn't know for sure what I was talking about...

 

I've found mill scale actually makes for a smoother surface for paint(unless its extremely heavy or coming loose. If there's rust that's just starting, a good rub down with xylene or something similar will remove that. Otherwise without extra coats of paint you'll be contending with the striations you made with the buffer...

 

Thanks. Ill give that a try next time. I plan on 3 coats of primer then paint. This will be going on my truck.

 

Good way to spend a Friday night. The flight was delayed 2 hours.

Soccer, there's a mini ball in there that goes with it.

 

Lol

Couldn't tell on my phone

 

Well I do mostly 4130 tube and I know for a fact that if the mill scale isnt removed there is porosity, 100% of the time. Just my personal experience. If I clean everything nice, inside the tube and out, and wipe it down with acetone I get a perfect weld every time. I've had similar results with mild steel.

I've only been doing this a year though so what do I know

 

Chris offered the cop $20 if he would draw on me and let him take a picture of it. It was funny though, the cop asks me "have I been drinking" I told him I don't drink, then he asks if anyone else has been drinking and Rob starts in the back seat "Oh hellyeah I been drinkin!!!" He could smell it coming out of my truck. I also had a bottle of Jager, on ice, in my lunch cooler sitting between Julie and Rob on the back seat
