Hey guys, as suggested by many subscribers, I did implement audio commentary on my video, which I was hesitant to do from beginning as English is not my first language. Feel free to comment or give any feedback.

I'm a Union Boilermaker in the States. This is our standard test for combination certs (tube test is what we call it). We're only allowed a single TIG root pass, no hot pass, and then SMAW the rest of the way out. No grinder allowed. File, chipping hammer, and a wire brush only. Every once in a while, we have to TIG it all the way out. I like the bridge tacks that you are allowed to use. I wish they would let us use bridge tacks and allow a hot pass, but they want four tacks so they can see the tie-ins. Then, no hot pass is allowed, so they can see you are able to weld SMAW over the root without getting suck back. Also, your English is great, and so is your welding!

@charleswronge4743 I was out of Boilermakers Local 83 Kansas City, MO. But, I transferred my book to Boilermakers Local 456 Rock Hill, SC. I was down here for so long working for CB&I at Vogtle that I ended up relocating to this area. At least for now, anyway. I'll probably eventually end up transferring back into Local 83 eventually.

Hey Brandon, I appreciate your comment brother , thank you very much. Yes, you are right, we still learn every day. Even if we think we’ve done all and seen all, and there is always someone with something different that you’ve never seen before . That’s the beauty of our trade. Take care up there and good luck 🤞.

Best videos to watch in my opinion, you keep the viewers informed of what you are doing and also what to expect the weld pool to do. 👍🏽 excellent work 👏🏼

What a beautiful weld!!!!!! Awesome skills!!!!!! Great job!!

Thank you Brother , you are spot on . Keep them coming

Nice, thanks for taking us through the test to see the results.

You should stagger your stops and starts. Can get cluster porosity.

The 6-G I took was 2 parts 6 inch with stick and 2 inch with tig both were on 45 degrees.

How’d you do?

What's crazy is you seem to burn pretty hot and travel quite slow. I've tried that and that just never a good combination for me and doesn't work especially after metal is already hot

why is welding difficult?

At 6 minutes do you say 120 to 120 amps?

Your English is good) At first I thought of slight Russian accent. Have you taken IELTS English test? What score?

Do you recommend bumping up the amps and feeding a bunch of wire into the fill passes just to save time?

@X3MTIG

2 жыл бұрын

200 amps and above, it all depends how much you can handle, but, yeah use 5/32 for filler passes and you’ll finished faster , but it’s not about finishing faster it’s about to learn to weld tig faster.

When you doing fill pass why u always start at the top side to down side ?

@X3MTIG

Жыл бұрын

Hey bud, no specific reason it’s more of a habit, but in some cases like horizontal welding examples I like to do top first, to prevent any slag traps if I’m using stick welding.

Why do you start at the top and work down on your fills?

@X3MTIG

Жыл бұрын

Hey bud, I like to put first fill pass at the top, just to prevent creating extra groove, it’s more like a habit, but helps especially when stick welding in horizontal. Sometimes you create groove between weld bead and side wall, which can easily trap any slag or poor fusion. That’s the main reason.

22 years welding GTAW and SMAW can't believe I busted twice similarly test smaller thickness. Root was perfect. Running to cold?

Man, you didn’t even listen to the video than! 🤯 He did mention it, for the root pass he used 120 amps , cup size 8, tungsten 1/8. This guy always makes detailed videos and explains everything, unlike many other channel creators. It seems like people always want more…like the best would be if he could weld for others! 🙄 Also, amps he uses for root pass don’t guarantee you’ll be able to use the same, depends on experience and how much can you handle!

That's a huge root? I'd fail if.it.was that heavy
