Just had 2 bad x rays (3 repairs) so now I have to shoot 6 more. It really wrecked my confidence and has me paranoid about everything now lol
Good to see a video about handling real scenarios as opposed to everything is perfect every time.
I want to see the cameraman try and weld a coupon 😁
This man knows how to teach, he understands what new guys need to know, and explains it with great care. Awesome brother, keep it up.
Weld tube gas come a long way. Good job guys, great content! 👍
Abraham is doing a great job with these videos.
just made a repair on a nickel xray. it was my first bad xray on this job. it bummed me out but i fixed it and had 4 good xrays with it. dont lose confidence from a bad xray is what i learned from it.
That's some good looking work, Abraham
Any welder who says has never had a repair is either a liar or has not done much quality work
👏👏 here here!!
Or had a guy dedicated to reworks
I told my student's if you ever meet a welder who says they have never failed UT or RT then disregard everything they have ever told you and ignore everything they tell you the future because they are a liar.
Fucking own it and fix it. The more repairs you do the more you will learn why you failed. The shop I work at must have a 99% pass rate and we are 100% UT/MT. Almost everything we weld is well over and inch thick. So we are laying down thousands of pounds of weld a week. The reason we got so good is because every repair was investigated and discussed with everyone on our findings. We document everything and try our best to never repeat mistakes.
@@geoffmooregm i never failed x-ray or UT, that's a lot of practice in my garage, and for you to know there is always some play in how big your porosity can be. Your bead may not be completely perfect but for instance tungsten inclusion may be small enough forbead to pass x-ray...
Bottom line is, if you never busted a shot you havent been doing this long enough. Ive lost a job over a busted x ray, not all welds are made in a shop.
Woah, that video came just right in time! I'm in welding school and I had been struggling for a while with making a decent root pass in these big pipes. I'm racing to get good at this before we finish in three weeks. I didn't realize in bigger pipes you have to oscillate to get a good big penetrated root. What a dumb mistake! No wonder I could only do it in smaller pipes! You helped me a lot, pal!
Best regards from this welding novice who's trying to aim for a homologation. Keep rocking on dude!
I just found this channel, a BIG 2 THUMBS UP to this guy and offering us this content
love this channel i just bought my first flux welder from harbor freight to start training.
Had my days of repairs, mine and others, learned alot of technics from OGs.
Essential skills..... Bravo!
Retired now but used to make repairs on pipeline and refinery work. Made very good money making repairs. What I liked was they knew how much time it should make a weld but not how much time to repair one. Kinda could set your own pace. Just never rush it and always make the repairs pass film.....
Nice work Abraham, like it was never there . I like the laid back video style yous got going on.
Great video. And a great attitude to go with it. You my friend have got it.
this guy will go far...
Thanks for the video, nice repair.
I’m guilty of grinding straight in. I’ll try your method tomorrow. Thanks!
If you use the 3 different sizes of grind wheels it's very effective... zip in, pipe disc your bevel and than 1/4 inch grind some space works just as well.
Good job and and teaching!
Great job on ur first video taking over
Thanks for this video. Been doing repairs at school the wrong way lol
Amazing video!!
Thanks for making these videos that portray real life scenarios, but can you make one about doing a repair on pipe with using only stick electrodes? The reason is that when I was in welding school I was taught to only use the process and filler that I had started using in the first place. Thank you again and I hope to get a response soon.
Glad I ran into this video 👍🏼
Nice repair
Great video, man.
Abramham great laid back video doing a great job also the story telling makes it even better than just showing us ✌️
An old timer told me "if you ain't never busted on a weld test, then you ain't taken enough".
Interesting to see a repair of a tested professionals weld by another pro 👍
Good job!
Good stuff right there
Thanks man!
Wow now that is how you tig right there good job.
Good tips
Nice my brother 💥
Will y’all do a video on using thumb control on tig torch?
Always check your root before you weld hot pass and cap . You don't have to cut out as much metal
Can't always...
Good job nic wlding
Thanks
Be safe, use the handle that came with the grinder.
Is always a bummer having a repair. Feels like letting yourslef down. But hey, got to keep chin up, its part of the job! Nobody can be perfect all of the time. Anyone trying to say they dont get repairs in a bullshitter
gran video 👌👍
EXCELLENT
Good welding
Отлично!
yep couple of times...funny story i was doing a WPQ
and it ran like crap i knew it but befor i could say anything it was in the box off to the test facility well i relized that my a50 tank was on 20 psi lol so no where near enough gas sheild...
Surprised you started at the top but the pipe was cold.All the pipework we did was pre-heated first between 50c - 200c,different ball game at those temps.Some companies now want a root and hot pass with tig then sub arc on 26" dia pipe,1.5" wall thickness ! Pre-heat 200c.
Good video, laid back, positive and smart respectful young man, not a lot of slang juberish, good english. Thank you for helping the ones that need, with your videos.
Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌
I know exactly who he's talking about I use to go to Abraham Boot to practice welding he use to let me borrow he's machine lol hope he remembers me
What I do I’m not going all way thru!! I grind till start to get purple and then I blow thru
and how would you do it when the repair is at the bottom
Done exactly the same👍
Super...
What shop ?
How do you see a bad weld in the field cant look at it through the end of the pipe 😊 we would get papers from the NDE showing the bad weld most of the time we cut a window 180 from the repair we would look the repair in and close up the window just saying good video👍
Which one do you like more 5G or 6G?
Nice music
Hey man im your fan at weldtube.. Im from phils.. Beginners man.. Just need an information i need to improve.. Smaw welder i am.. And ihave family to feed.. Can i ask how much argon do you supply when u freehand is 5psi a standard ol da way.. Root to cap.. Thanks man appreciate i want to burn learn n eventually i gonna earn..
Weldingfanatic. Com get a titanium rod and heat it up with it in pipe let it cool from purge if their is a bunch of color purge is no good it should turn back silver with carbon you don’t need a purge I have welded a lot of carbon with out purge and xrayed a100 percent it all passed if you need help holler at me
I went for an xray to see if there was any work left in me. Lol. 🇬🇧
What does that term mean “bad xray” ??
I am always surprised by thumbs down. It is crazy there is nothing in this video that would deserve that.
🔥
Anybody know of fabrication shops in Spartanburg SC hiring?
Show us how to do on the bottom n
Currently fixing robot mistakes in the shop I work in
Oh man that brings me back, robot would weld basket in 45 mins, the repairs took 2 days, both day and night shift 🙁.
Learn how to weld. Step one get behind that hood
Step 2 find the oldest guy on your crew
Step 3 get on that old guys good side
Not just cause a person looks old means he can weld I've seen it many times lol
@@RobertoLopez-qv9rf I know. But the older guys are usually easier to work with. Some can be as green as you, but the older expierenced guys are usually are a lot laid back and easy going.
I'm not super experienced by any means but I'm a pipeline welder and I've seen this before not many old guys can weld ol son
@@RobertoLopez-qv9rf Niether am I. I've only been welding for a year. Some of the worst welds I've seen have been done by guys doing this work for 40 years, I've seen others guys who have done it their whole lives lay the best beads you'll see.
The oldest man in my shop can't weld worth a fuck constantly fixing his stuff 😭
Slick
up 10
Parabéns dizasonbrado
Tamos junto gosto muito de assistir esses video gosto muito da Minha profissao
Can you do a video on a Tig test in the 5f position, using a 22g plate and a
.035 wall tube.
Everything’s comes withs hards works
Hard to repair. Not every welder can. 😉
Show me the money! Our services aren't for sell on discount, we (welders as a group) can't forget that. Negotiate for the better of all of us.
Hell yea Abraham get it
you should grind in before removing the cap
I have, always really embarrassing.
Does anywhere x-ray the root before next series of passes? Always seems to be the root that's the problem
When I was welding Aluminum Pipe on large LNG Pressure Vessels you were allowed 3 Repairs max. The pipe sections took days to fit up, so on the second attempt we would run the root and call on the RT guys and do an excavation shot. We were welding 3" and 12" with a .090" backing ring and 20" open Butt. If you had a blister on the ring it would bust out and lack of tie in on the ring along with porosity. The alloy was 6061 and 5083 Class A RT/PT. At the top of the vessel there was the dome where all the pipes exited and there were quite a bit of mirror welds. Coming from a Navy Shipyard I was Ace at Mirror Welding, so I did all of it. To this day I still do Class A Welds on Aluminum, but 99% of it is DCEN with UHP Helium. 60XX Sucks on DC but 2219 is Porn and sweet. The RT guys will do a shoot any time you need them as they get paid each shot. All of our Class 1 Volumetric Inspection where I'm at is done with Digital RT or Phased Array UT.
Subtitula los vídeos..
rhetorical
What 's the name of the welder He's a pro
I would like to know why you do 2 cap runs next to each other instead of just 1 run . Just a question people don't get hostile. Theodore rose is asking not Richard herbert. I'm 24 apprentice welder
richard herbert the reason for multiple passes is because of the size of the opening it would be to much to cover in one pass I was always told never weave more then 3x the diameter of the filler rod
That’s what I was taught not sure if it’s 100 percent right but that’s what I go by
Hope it helps keep at it it’s the best trade in the industry
I failed many medical exams, not only X-Ray. They wrote that the results were negative.
I asked if I could take the exam again, but they always said 'no need'.
I am tig welder i need work
Anybody know of any fabrication shops hiring in Louisiana?
@@weldtube okay imma check them out, thank you
great work, just one thing I noticed, you prep'd your hand on the pipe, so I wouldn't really call that freehanding, freehand I was taught is when you do it like with an oxy fuel torch, literally no contact whatsoever just holding the 'gun' in air
niusfro most people will call freehand tig resting your hand on something or nothing at all but not having your cup sit/touch the work peice , while obviously walking the cup is well as it says
Bring us some combo mig/tig on pipe videos?
At 2 minutes and 30 seconds he's talking about this guy that fixes his mistakes it would take him less than a minute would take him just a minute.. wow okay you know that 60 Seconds grind it out and cover it over.. and how did you know it was a mistake??? IDK sounds like a fish tale to me..
Do it on the bottom
never pass it so ....
Show me the moneeeey!
When i welded pipe i repaired my own x-rays.
Not that busted that many x-rays.
