AC cleaning gone?

If you were using 5356 filler and your new bottle contained some CO2, the magnesium in the filler will react with CO2 forming magnesium oxide and carbon.

bad tank of gas . i have got 2 or 3 bottles of bad gas argon and co2 and argon mix . I asked Jessie from A&B gas he tells me its the guys being lazy when checking and filling tank he says the killer is having air or oxygen in the tank before filling .he say happens when welder run a tank empty and after removing welding gauges leaves tank valve open condensation forms and air gets in tank , the fill guy when see a tank with a valve open or empty totally is suppose to purge tank with argon and evac tank before refilling , he just fired one of his guys because it cost money for bad gas fills and dosnt look good for his business. think i will make a dryer for my argon hose lol

I think you hit it Rod. Looks like air with the black. There is no fan blowing is there? I posted the video in the tech area some time ago, have not made on yet but can't hurt. I did make a kitty litter crystals filter for the compressor though.

But yea, looks like air getting in the mix somehow.

Finally got a new tank and things seem to be back to normal, i only had time to try a couple beads, but the weld pool was clean and not black soot and the cleaning was back. I will update with some after pics when i get a chance.

Interesting... There have been a few posts lately with people having a contaminated tank. You would think their would be a little more quality control.

Every year people seem to get a little more lazy and a little more greedy... both are highly contagious in the workplace.
