Old N Rusty Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I cannot imagine how he never noticed the DEEP chisel marks on the face of my mousehole anvil, or why he would even chisel anything on the anvil face . but the damage is done . I am going to weld these marks up ,after smoothing with a flap wheel you will never find them. Here is how . Using my Miller Synchrowave 250 T.I.G. with hi freq. start and foot pedal amp control and e-70s 2 1/16"T.I.G.wire. Pure argon. No preheat.Very tiny passes with only a tiny bead of filler wire. Be sure to move the " fisheye"off the patch as you decrease the amps. Allow no tungsten to contaminate the weld and keep the anvil cool to touch on the face. This filler wire matches color so well the weld becomes invisible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironwolfforgeca Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 when I Tig weld dings or chisel marks on an anvil face I use a high carbon tool steel rod 1/16 hammer it flat so its thinner , heat anvil face take the chill out of it ! , welds don't match color & you can see them - no big deal for me there just want good filler rod cant remember rod no# ask welding supply or call a rod maker ask tech for rod Info :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old N Rusty Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 The brainless newbie was chisel cutting rings from a coil, I think, cutting wire with a chisel and a 32 oz hammer on MY anvil! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
