As someone who had 6g back 2017 and didn't weld pipe for more than 4 years ( complicated !) And now trying to come back and get jm and b ticket , the first minute of the video I got my stomach upside down , just thinking of the poor guy who messed up two x ray , and yes I know it won't be me first day fixing that instead of 10 yo experience b welder . I loved tig welding but the frustration that come with it it's really next level . ( and yeh once your good it seem too easy , I remember doing better free hand than many guys walking the cup) . Keep up the good work, see you soon hopefully 😂

Wow… I’m blown away. I’m 17, highschool student looking into welding as a career. This looks very difficult to me and requires patience, but looks like it pays off and feels amazing when you get to look at a polished beauty of a work like that. How much time in total did this weld take, is this a full day you made out of it? Also the cutting of the pipe, is that just something you have get done so that you can properly repair? Or something you’d have to do yourself? I don’t know too much about welding, but I’ve watched people weld and people at an academy do some basic teaching online and it just looks like a good time to me. For someone who’s looking to learn the foundations what would be a good resource to look into aside from taking trade school or joining a union?

One of the last jobs I was on few years ago(I'm done with the road now) we were welding 24" Schedule 160 J beveled Chrome Pipe, Preheated w/ ceramic wraps to 650F. Two welders chasing each other around it (started on opposite sides),It was taking Two 12hr shifts to weld 1 joint. 100% x-ray Bust out once you fix it, The second time to the gate. In the Summer BTW sucked but it was GOOD money.

Had to install some 10” sch 80 pipe for a company I worked for- all we had to use where the new Esab rebel inverter welders using 110v which the machine only went to 90 amps on Tig.

Worked as a laborer for a mechanical piping company, what the old man taught me was before welding you wire brush the pre welded piece and wipe it down with methylated spirits. Some of the smoothest welds I've ever seen.

@GenZRuinedTheWorld

6 күн бұрын

Methylated spirits is the Key! You gotta get that metal good and drunk so it'll work with you better. If the metal is drunk then it's relaxed and that's how you got them smooth welds.

That is a work of art, bet there’s some hours of experience wrapped up in getting to be that good plus a lot of talent.

Practicing for a common arc 6G tube test and your channel is honestly better than what I learned in school. Thank you sir! Unfortunately all I’m allowed to use in common arc test is file.

If you want to get into serious welding like this you're best off getting a job with a heavy fabrication company that does similar work to this, and work your way up to it. Otherwise if you just want to learn to weld good enough to build a gate or a table or a car exhaust, then your night classes and practice at home will do you just fine ;)

Hi! Great video! Really shows your expertise. I'm studying elektromechanical engineering and I was wondering how you know which filler to use? Also did you pre-heat the welding sections and was there any thermal process needed to stress-relieve your welds? I'm asking this because in my course they point alot of attention to the HAZ zones where there can be coarse grains and precipitations like carbides formed from the Mn, Mo, etc.. Thanks alot for your answer

Was that a root canal

Excellent welding technique! Is Liquid Penetrant required to be done on the root pass or visual only followed by 100% RT on weld completion. For the sake of the guy that did the failed weld, in addition to improving technique, he should learn that there are times when proper use of a grinder can be a welders best friend. Also, a basic course in Visual Inspection and inspecting his own work before the QA/QC guy shows up are in his best interest. Not a welder but spent a career in QA writing procedures and performing Destructive and Non-Destructive testing.
