Was fabbing up a small frame and I can't get this steel tubing to TIG weld for shit. It pops and spits and won't take a good bead at all, autogenous or with fresh er70s6. Tungsten is sharp and clean, 15chf on the argon. Material was buffed bright with a flap wheel. 3/32" tungsten, #7 cup with standard collet body. 5/16 - 3/8 stickout.
What the hell? I got 1 good weld (uphill) and the rest look like shit. Even just ran a puddle on a hidden part of the frame and that was porous.
I'm out of stuff to try.
