Glad your still giving lessons bro, I just got to TIG in my union and have been struggling.
Your older videos have been incredibly helpful with learning how to TIG weld pipe!
Glad to hear it!👊
8:47 This is my favorite shot showing total position of body and torch! Thx!
Just what I was looking for! 😎🙌🏽
Glad I could help!
Love your vids bro
I really enjoy the quality of your vids,and the lessons you give.
Am retired now,watching your vids makes lots of memories❤
i’m one year into my welding career brotha and everytime i’m stuck i watch one of your videos and help me out tremendously man, good help from all your videos!
Bangladesh ❤nice video
👌🏾👌🏾 awesome video.
Awesome video bro! Couldn’t find overhead tig welding pipe anywhere! Thank you! 😎
Happy to hear that 👊
Another great vid, thank you sir. I was just rewatching your keyhole root technique when you posted this. And wondering if I could pull it off overhead or not.
As an Autogene/oxy welder who is scwitching to TIG, this vid helps me enormously. Just love TIG-welding but very much comes to it. Thanks a lot for your educational and professional vid. Many thanks and greetz from Holland.
Keep up the good work, thank you
Awesome!
Thanks for the videos m8 super helpful, quick question... If that were a stainless pipe would you still lay wire or dip? I'm decent at mild steel pipe but never seem to be able to get enough build up in with my stainless pipe. Cheers bro
Depends . On sch40 and thicker backfeed . On sch10 and thinner keyhole and dip . Overhead part on thin pipe you should put enough in that it satisfies the puddle and swells over to the bevel . That way you will have enough buildup. I never backfeed on thin pipe as the heat you need never is enough to melt the wire you put on the inside 100 percent and you sometimes end with whiskers , you can do it but you need more time to burn it off . Allways remember to put the wire on the very leading edge of the puddle and satisfy it by putting in enough to the point that it swells up , either back feeding or not . Hope that it helps for you . Grt
Hey bud, depends of the thickness. Std wall and up, backfeed and lay wire, anything thinner, keyhole or dipping. Try to weld with 3/32 filler wire and loose 3/32 gap or 1/8 gap.
Very nice ❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤
Good work
Very interesting video ❤❤
great video, but I have a question for You: how would You do root it in this position for example, on superduplex steel? You would use dipping technique?
Depends on wall thickness, if it’s standard and above I’ll do the same, anything thinner, probably keyhole to dipping technique!
Your welding is very clin
Good root sir ham India say hai
Good 👌
Thanks
Hey bro, I've been laying lots of stainless beads this past year, I'm getting pretty good. But, I'm trying these last few days to get a beautiful blue on the welds, like in the weld porn videos. I saw you did it in one of your vids about a year ago. Can you get that blue consistently? I know that it's just an oxide layer and yes you're going to clean it off anyway. But it's just that wow factor you know. Lets say for example a schedule 40 4" stainless pipe. How would you go about getting that lovely blue? Or if you know any videos of anyone that knows how to that'd be perfect.
I love your videos and I've learnt so much from them so thank you
Play with your amperage, and gas flow.
How many amps were you using for this root pass?
Could you do a 6010 root and 6010 hotpass uphill on pipe thanks
Bro I'm very sad, because I can't walk the cup. It is three days I started doing pipe welding practice on tig. Could you pls give me any advise to do pipe welding like pro, any training method pls
Practice for 7 more months, every day, that’s my advice for you at the moment!
@@X3MTIG should I hold torch tightly
How do you stop from slipping! I keep slipping on the bottom!
Clean your cup or put the new one in
How you fight with gravitation when material going down
Changing torch inclination
Changing torch inclination
@@X3MTIG I can’t find a good position for the rod, a loot of time material going down slide on me and touch the electrod, how can I avoid it I need to keep the rod more straight or more degree ?
Please what is the root gap 3mm or 4mm? Great video 🤝💯
Around 4 mil
Good luck
Just started my Tig class doing 2G open Route due to my positioning in my set up I had to do a lot of start and stops. Does it matter or do you want to do as little as possible?
Less stops, better and more uniform weld!
@@X3MTIG what start method do you like? High freq, scratch?
@@Jacoby4465HF 💯 %
@@X3MTIG love your channel foot switch or switch on the torch?
@ 3:30 not only would you beed 7' filler wite but a 7' arm to feed it lol😂
Hey whatsup bro, I just got a question, Im currently a pipe welder rn at a refinery in america and im american, but next year Ill be abroad in Germany and Korea, Is it possible to work as a pipe welder in those countries from your knowledge? Most people in my job only work in U.S and usually from what I gather those abroad jobs are just recommended in or friend of friend type thing. And Im sure each country has their own standards of welding and Its pretty hard to find any knowledge about this specifically.
You have to talk with your potential employer about regulations, the biggest challenge would be language barriers and additional testing or training, welding is welding, same, wherever you go, if you have skills you can succeed anywhere, but get your credentials recognized, that’s big question mark ⁉️ Europe is mainly TIG welding same as Korea .
When i do fill pass,the gap is getting wider and wider as i fill the gap. How can i avoid that?
AAP kaha say hai
For dumb dumbs like me this is awesome.
Traslate spanish please
I should have watched this first instead of xvideos
The prep is horrible
That’s how you get to be a better welder if you can weld bad set then you have no problem with good set up … in the field it ain’t the perfect world 🇬🇧🏴
