Hello colleagues from this new forum for me.
I am asking for advice on the selection of wire (rods) for TIG welding of ordinary steels - angles, flat bars, sheets in various "garage" constructions.
Are ordinary steel bars (such as for gas welding) sufficient or are expensive stainless steel wires necessary?
I have always used the regular ones, but I had the inconvenience that this bar was strongly attracted to the material being welded, and it disturbed my work. I recently bought the stainless ones and the phenomenon has disappeared, but the cost is 10 times higher.
Maybe there is some other method?
