TIG Welding: Walking the cup on 6" carbon steel pipe!

Jeff, not only do you do an excellent job of describing what to do or how to do it you also do an excellent job of welding!! It's a real pleasure to watch your videos.

I just wish I could see your weld pool better for reference

How many methods/processes/techniques are there to weld/solder aluminum? I know the most common one is AC TIG welding but I don't have that electrical current capability on my welding machine.

Not bad but this is way too wide, should've ran a two bead cap and I don't know any shop that let's you run two fillers at the same time. Could be the difference between countries tho.

Channel has really gone downhill. Why are you trying to show how to tig on pipe but get incomplete root penetration? Maybe you should go back 2 years and watch Bob Moffatt or Jody on weldingtipsandtricks. You are really doing a disservice to new welders who dont know any better.

That root is very rough . Will not pass in the field. Heat was way too cold to try and burn a 1/8 wire in a 3/32 gap

what polarity is used on flux core wire no gas please?

A big help👍👍👍

Why would u leave a landing on a tight root

Ur the fill and cap guy on a job site someone else puts the root in on dayshift u steal his glory on nights to cap it

What happen to the bottom 🤔 part and suppose to have no landing and and bigger gap

All you have to do is round the sharp edge of the cup by sanding, to avoid it snagging up on the Pipe. A tip an old timer gave me a long time ago.

Enybody spot the two miss edges on root?

Right on Jeff Ray...looking great on a Saturday afternoon...lots of great info you are sharing....thanks, and cheers, Paul

The cap was good. The root was way too cold for the gap and land. Can't be doing that if you want to pass your weld test. The root as got to be good the whole way

Need more heat? Why not crank the amps and just run your pedal man?

1/8” to a 5/32” gap turn the machine to 150 amps using pedal to control the heat and no landing and for the root I prefer a #6 cup, nice looking cap

Cap looks good 👍. I think with a 1/8 gap no land your root would have penetrated as well.

Would it help to preheat the pipe?

I never liked that method of tacking pipe. Especially on small size pipe. I’ll do two, one @12 o clock and one @6 o clock

Great video. I catch myself really bearing down on the cup and have to make a conscious effort not too.

Just curious, why would this be done with TIG vs. Stick?
