  • As we continue our series on tig welding technique, we look at the how to walk the cup. Walking the cup is often misused, because welders want to achieve the "cool factor" from the resulting weld bead. However, walking the cup has a real purpose and is meant for specific applications.

    When I first saw walking the cup it looked easy enough but when I started practicing with my everlast I realized getting even ripples in the weld took a lot of practice.

    Eurika! At last a YT instructional welding video, that contains a genuinely skilled/experirienced and knowledge welder and not a 'Charlatan Chancer' or an enthusiastic. I've been in the welding industry since 1985 and I know a fellow craftsman when I see or hear one talk of his craft. Bravo, bravo.
    Any newbies to welding need to watch and listen to this guy cos ' He knows his onions'👍

    ive been a plastics fabricator for about 20 years, learnt to braze, oxy, arc and mig weld in high school, but that was 25 years ago. so while i can weld plastic 5 ways, id probably blow myself up lighting up an oxy rig now. just wanted to say how cool it is to see how the other half live. these videos are quality... just like the welds. cheers

    this is very informative. best i've seen. i did some tig 2 welding courses but the dutch NIL never learned me this. The teacher never wanted to tell the fine secrets of welding. i stopped welding because the lack of welding information they gave me. i really miss the smell of hot argon. thank you,

    Im a beginner welder and been at it for 5/6 months in a Tech School in PR. Had to stop due to hurricane Maria for about 4 months into it. Theory has been crap but actual welding i can say they(proffesors) have done an awsome great job but theory based just lost so much time in the learning process that we just lost it. But thanx to this and other multiple channels ive been getting up o date. So thank u so much!

    +Weld.com - Walk the Cup is somewhat more difficult to explain verbally, but here goes.
    When Welding you want to manipulate the Torch properly to produce a correct Weld. With Pipe Welding you "Walk the Cup" to move the Torch sideways and forward.
    The "walking" is sort of like walking on ice, you want to *slide* an extremely small amount forward *OR* backward *while* moving the Torch *forward* (the tiny sliding is IF you either walk too far or not far enough).
    You "walk" by rocking the Ceramic Cup sideways, the ceramic _grabs_ the steel similar to planting your foot on ice (so you don't slip) *and* you lift the other 'foot' (other side of the Cup, not _planted_ on the Pipe) eliminating friction (or physical contact) by rocking the Cup (one _foot_ on the ice, the other lifted up) and 'planting your foot' slightly further ahead - *with* 'micro-sliding' forwards *or* backwards to correct the forward Travel Speed.
    The sideways motion of the _walking_ is to accommodate the width of the Weld *IF* you choose to Weave instead of doing the entire Weld using Stringers (a straight, unweaved, Weld bead).
    It's a convenient *crutch*, that makes it easier to produce a quality Weld *and* happens to manipulate the Torch close to what you would have (when done properly, and with any 'micro-sliding' *necessary* - IE: Do not walk incorrectly or it (the Weld) won't be OK).
    For Experts to attempt: Don't walk, run.
    Assuming an entirely manual process of Welding (no 'PipeMaster' manipulator, but rotation by motor is OK) it *is* better to Weld all Stringers (same as the Root, it's a Stringer) and push the Wire (manually) the same as "Wirefeed TIG" - simply push forward on the Torch and *shove* the Wire in (like Soldering, just shove it in). After Root and Fill you likely want to Weave the Cap to make the Cap polished smooth, a Stringer Cap *is* acceptable but it should be *smooth* also - smoothness comes from cranking it (and Welding correctly).

    YES! Thank you so much, for all of the awesome instructional content.
    I've been wishing to begin learning to weld for nearly thirty years.
    To this day, I've never laid my hands onto any type of welding outfit, but I've been searching out high quality content like yours, for the past two or three years, trying to become acquainted with the tools, components, and nomenclature of the welding trade.
    Of course it's probably not possible to learn everything I would need to learn to begin welding, but it's an invaluable primer to prepare one for the day when one finally has a chance to begin a welding course, or even just going out and buying a welder and going to it in their home workshop.
    I get really excited while watching these type of videos, but especially when it's produced by such talented welders and instructors.
    Your videos are top quality professional presentations, and I really love watching them.
    I just discovered your channel and subscribed to it about two weeks ago, and already I've learned a great deal from you guys.
    I have to agree with that last post, that those are some darn pretty welds you laid down with that cup walking technique.
    I can hardly wait to get back home to my shop in the States so that I can begin putting my hands on a welding outfit and getting busy.
    My shop already has a wiring circuit for a welder, I think it must be a 240V circuit, because it's clearly not in a location where you could put a clothes washer or dryer, which would be 220V, unless I'm mistaken?
    Thanks again for the effort and commitment that you guys have put into developing this fantastic channel and educational content.
    Have a great new year!

    This is good info.. although it's worth being aware that it's not always acceptable, walking the cup can make scratches on the surface of the workpiece and for some employers/ customers can be rejected, in particular brushed or polished stainless surfaces.
    This technique definitely has its place and looks fantastic when it's done well like this.

    If I am doing an x-ray quality weld on pipe and don't have a foot pedal, I like to run my arc to the side and pull out up my filler rod if possible and then break the arc. Does not leave those ugly craters from the arc break, which in turns make less grinding for me. Just my 2 cents

Then once I get going parts will flow smooth and others I stick,skip ahead or am just going side to side with no forward progress. Do u have any joints to practice on or any tips? Need to get this down for 6g Tig cert.. have asme ix in smaw now but need Tig to be employable.. help please

    God dang TIG is so clean! I do some flux core MIG welding and compared to this it is so messy (even though the welds look halfway decent after you clean out all the slag and brush it).
    What are the structural differences if any? I may have to start TIG'in! I do mostly projects for my Jeep such as roof rack and bumper hoop type stuff.

    • @Welddotcom
      @Welddotcom  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Takes a little longer, but for car parts it looks a lot nicer. Structurally it is better for that type of work too, because you can control the heat much better.

      @itsthatchinkykid 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Michael Kirst if you're doing welding for vehicles, definitely do tig. You'll get a gorgeous weld(if you're good) and also it's very clean. Make sure your skin is covered though, tig is much brighter and produce more UV rays due to no smoke production. It CAN get very technical tho.

    question about the filler rod . Is there any movement of the filler rod as the tungsten moving towards it? .Or does filler rod stay stationary as it is being deposited in to weld puddle? thanks!

    • @bigman7293
      @bigman7293 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      j bones you have to move the end of the filler rod with the puddle and dip as you go.

    • @TheChronichalt
      @TheChronichalt 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Just lay the wire for practice (Don't move it, just let pac man eat it), then once you get comfortable with your torch control, start feeding in wire to make a larger weld. Pause on your edges to fill the undercut.

    Can you give me any tips on how people get that figure 8 technique down when finishing off the cap? My root and fills rarely have any defects its just keeping the cap as pretty as possible. I think my main thing on the cap is not being consistent when weaving it.

    Strictly my own opinion as a 25yr welder who does alot of tig,mainly stainless pipe,I do not walk the cup ever.Ive always felt its a cheater technique for people with shaky hands. Nonetheless Bob is very knowledgeable&has taught me some valuable tips,many thanks!

  • @Htxjoee
    @Htxjoee 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Say you're welding a fence or just 2 metals toghther. Do you want to do a root pass hot pass & the fillers? Or is it just one beed?

      @Welddotcom  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      your going to need to get a little more specific with your question, however, if you are repairing a fence post, assuming it is carbon steel, you would likely just want to do one pass with a complimentary filler metal.

      Wrong moron. You need to run a 3/24 using the "up river" technique. Really you should use an upside down Up River but you dumbasses probably aren't that good.

    Do you get a lot of trash in your welds with a snake skin wide weave bead? I’ve always ran them tight so I don’t fail.

  • @JVD8383

    Why we roll out of the weld on the side of the bevel is to prevent what is called a fish eye
