Following a 40 yr career... Myself having retired from the Petroleum industry. Looked over miles of pipe welding & seen a bunch of beads. This is simply f'ing Gorgeous work!!!
Nice work good control, seen a few on you tube where the welds look beautiful but not a thought about the most important thing penetration, or their over feeding leaving dry edges both would fall any dye pen or Xray test, you took time to ensure that you only feeding reservoir when reservoir was ready, as I said nice work.
This video will be way better if they kept the camera in on the arc shot like he is staying in that root. Excellent description of the true craft but the video editing and shots were more like a more like a marketing video. This guy knows puddle control but the videographer and editor didn't show it, they were too busy playing yoyo with the cuts. I'd love to learn in person from this guy but the video guy can stay at catering.
Can I ask two questions? As you are welding steel, does argon have to be used or can an argon C02 mix be used? With the welding of the pipe, was TIG welding used as a demonstration of what can be done or would MIG welding it be more efficient?
Pure Argon for TIG always or you can have helium. As far as MiG vs TIG , it depends on what the engineer , inspector or certification test is requiring and following the requirements of a Welding Procedure Specification “wps” . Hope that helps.
Nice weld but I gotta say, I’ve welded miles of heavy wall and have never had to be anywhere close to 200 amps to ensure “tying in”. Honestly a 200 amp hot pass is ridiculous considering if you watch in the video you can see you reconsuming the root. Your root shouldn’t be a big glowing molten puddle while putting in a hot pass. Makes sense why you didn’t show the condition of the root after the hot pass. Last thing, I also have my cwi and there is absolutely nothing in B31.1 or B31.3 that restricts weave widths, especially on carbon steal. There are kilojoule parameters that you can’t exceed but that’s on your stainlesses, exotics like hastelloy or Inconel and chrome base metals. Appreciate the video either way. Nice finish to the weld.
@kellydenmark6942 yeah 100% agree with you. Been welding heavy wall and thin wall and everything in between for 10 years now and there is no reason at all to be at such a ridiculous hot pass amperage. Dude’s interpass temp is cooked every layer at that amperage. Hell 150 would be plenty for the hot pass. Glad somebody else thought the same on this stupid hot pass amperage. And I’d argue that it’s STUPID all day long. And he should stagger them stops on top
@@Ball-Sweatz thing is everyone is different. I root this size pipe at 125, hot pass 140 and would do a one pass fill at 200-220 while stuffing it with wire. Then go back down for the cap to 140-160. But then again I'm usually in the rack and stick to 160 the whole time 😂
you arent really asking the right question because the color is a byproduct of the metal being welded while being shielded by the argon gas. The color at the end is a result of the gas reacting to the heat of the weld pool so you can judge a weld by it's color when tigging because if the color is consistent and the right color(s) then you know the heat and travel speed was consistent through out the weld.
@@natenate2280 not necessarily true. The color of the weld is only determined by the temperature of the metal when it is exposed to the open air. You could make two identical welds- one with a a regular cup and then one with a trailing cup and one would have color and the other wouldn’t.
@@thzzzt In my experience, it's gonna oxidize a little no matter what. Especially when it's that hot. If you've ever wire brushed the color off a fresh stainless weld, and then left it to cool down you'll know what I mean. Some color comes back in a few minutes as it re-oxidizes, steel (and most metals) are generally going to oxidize slightly a lot faster than you would think. Especially aluminum, it can build a pretty protective layer of oxidization in less than 10 minutes, hell even a few seconds if you've ever tried to make a coke can crumble with gallium.
IM HERE A YEAR LATER, AND THE FIRST WORDS OUTTA MY MOUTH WAS "YEAH, WHEN YOURE SCHEDULE 120!".. THEN I LOOK DOWN IN THE COMMENTS TO SEE I SAID THE SAME THING A WHOLE YEAR AGO.. SMH LOL
I tig welded for 24 years and never ever messed with my amps ran 300 staight and used peddle this needs a peddle or a dial other than that great welder
Sure don't seem like he could run a full 200 amps with a 3/32 tungsten and keeping a point on it.. I know my old syncrowave would melt that 3/32 tungsten at that amperage.
You can get carbon pipes hot however strength suffers with higher heat imput carbon steel or carbon pipe or a Hollow structural Steel the less shrink your going to have the stronger the overall joint will be
Show me a code that requires gold colors on carbon steel and I’ll watch the video. Gold isn’t required on stainless. This is just IG/tik tok welder influencer bull shit.
Gap wire and a fox wedge is a better idea, fox wedge to keep gap and gap wire to check. Smashing pipe that heavy with a shifter is stupid, guy is acting like a "social media influencer" waving his arms about and chatting shit for the sake of it.
I'm ever working with you you keep your hands off my crescent wrench I can already tell you the type of dude break something and get it back I don't know what happened to it

I like the adjustable hammer.
Why do you stop all of the passes at the same spot 😮
I miss Bob Moffatt.
Same, Bob was the best
I miss him too. He has a new channel called Let’s weld something.
Is Bob Moffitt still with the garden city, the weld college there?
Nope he retired from teaching, he’s chillin
I miss Mob Boffatt also.

MASTER. Respect from Hungary 🇭🇺🙏
Hello Mr..i am form Indonesia..
Good job
well done guys....cheers from Orlando, FL...Paulie B
Nice tail off at the end of the weld.
METAL THICKNESS AND SCHEDULING HELPED..
1000%
Man has some skills!!!!

Yeah that root looked a little chunky, right?
Only thing I can say about the current is the fact that it's sch120 I think he said. Just a weird video concept.

@@jeepwk6.5L based on his travel speed and wire feeding skills he should run maximum 110amps on his hot pass.
easy u use ss wire for finish weld and cool it after every line
Thanks Austin very nice 👌
I can do it, well done
WOW! Way out of my wheel house!!!!
He's the new bob
Nah
Thanks
Nice
Does that color really add anything to the weld?
you arent really asking the right question because the color is a byproduct of the metal being welded while being shielded by the argon gas.

Good question. Isn't the "gold" just oxidation, or some alloy element coming out? In that case why would you want it?

Hello my dear friend, I need some information about welding. How can I contact you other than TH-cam, knowing that I am from Iraq?
where are you from bro
Sq 120 of course your going to get gold color. those thick walls eat all the heat no problem.
This is cool!
mig-mag gaat 2 x zo snel en kwaliteit is net zo goed en treksterkten zelfs beter ?????
I tig welded for 24 years and never ever messed with my amps ran 300 staight and used peddle this needs a peddle or a dial other than that great welder
You would have failed visual in the cap the finish on each pass should have been stepped? Multi coded pipe welder Scotland North Sea construction.
My man sure can weld!! Bob Moffat was good but monotone. OL drweldz is the man
Besutiful
I know it
Sure don't seem like he could run a full 200 amps with a 3/32 tungsten and keeping a point on it.. I know my old syncrowave would melt that 3/32 tungsten at that amperage.
1/8 tungsten
I cringed when he used that adjustable wrench for a hammer😂
Fill pass at 250 would be best
just Molly-Whop it.
I wasn’t aware Ali G was a welder.
Why did the host give me Jamie Kennedy vibes?
fab
why do use monkeys never use a hammer and always a wrench instead? lolll
u shold run er 70s2 for the root

Zo hey thats a fucking nice weld... Ok groeten from holland. Groningen ship bilding. And mig welder👌👌👍😜🚢😂
use wrong tool
Gap wire and a fox wedge is a better idea, fox wedge to keep gap and gap wire to check.
Smashing pipe that heavy with a shifter is stupid, guy is acting like a "social media influencer" waving his arms about and chatting shit for the sake of it.
Appreciate the informative video, but please come and stop with a shaking camera...... You're gonna make people vomit.
I'm ever working with you you keep your hands off my crescent wrench I can already tell you the type of dude break something and get it back I don't know what happened to it
Stop calling yourself Dr Weld. It's not cool.
“I See You Don’t Know Shit About Welding” Gang where you at?
Nice
