Tig welding mild steel
Hey yall, what is tig welded mild steel supposed to look like? I was welding this morning with a #12 cup, 25-30cfh, 1/2 stickout, and anywhere from 130 to 140 amps. All of them came out dull grey with very little color to it. Also, is tig welded mild steel supposed to be colorfull like stainless would be? Thanks

If you have good coverage it can get "gold like " color and rainbowy . unless you get all burnt up and porosity , you're technically ok

Also make sure to clean area before, removing any scale and idealy getting to clean metal, tig can be capricious if area is contaminated
