This weekly video is about Tig Welding 4140 Steel to 1045 Steel.
The customer supplied a drawing to modify 20 snap ring pliers and weld some jaws on the end that were machined out of 4140.
Inconel 82 tig rod was used because I have had a lot of success with inconel 82 in repairing tool steel injection molds.
312 stainless would have been my first choice, but I had the inconel 82 rod in storage and in the right diameter… so I used about 3 rods to complete all 20 parts.
What rod would you have used?

Thanks for the great videos Jody. We use your videos on a weekly basis at Mountain View College to show our students all the cool things you do, as well as the vast array of welding applications there are out there that they should know before heading out into the work force.
Thanks again.
