I just cant get over the fact of how shiny it is haha "shine bright like a diamond in the sky" great work as always keep it up!

[@FieldRes]

+The OutCaster its those trailing shields, those huntingdon fusion shields work fantastic

[@Stinkytheskunkyfan]

That's one hell of a trail cup!! The song is totally appropriate for these welds too. They are that damn good

[@FieldRes]

+DocdADeaD I watched her sing for Victoria secret and hozier sang for Victoria secret show and I wanted to have both songs on the video, but that Rihanna one is copyrighted so the video will not play on certain devices nor at all in Germany

[@TyroneK001]

Thx for sharing! Always look forward to your videos, keep burning it up!

[@FieldRes]

+Tyrone K Thankyou! =D

[@zoranbilbiloski652]

Love the music,nice welds!

[@FieldRes]

+Zoran Bilbiloski Thankyou! =D

[@FW190D9]

Thank you for posting the videos. All of them have been very helpful to a beginner like myself.

[@FieldRes]

+icecoalman smith ThankyoU!! =D =D

[@nickranchero3584]

Beautiful work bud.

[@FieldRes]

+nick ranchero Thankyou very much! =D

[@SkepticalZombie]

Very cool

[@bagerairsoft5590]

wow, impressive! at the moment iam practicing for 6g 2,37"x0,035" Tube, (60,3mmx0,89mm) Gr2 Titanium, any pointers? Cheers!

[@sethpoirier193]

nice touch with the rhianna in the background Travis

[@FieldRes]

+Seth Poirier Thankyou! =D I like that song :P

[@FW190D9]

Those are the clearest titanium welds I've ever seen. You should teach a course of your own.

[@FieldRes]

+icecoalman smith Thankyou!! GRB College of Welding has the course on the metal, possibly in 20 years time if I know as much about the metal as Gerry the owner does then it wouldn't be a bad idea, but until then I'm better as the student

[@rickyjones7874]

what kind of hood is that?

[@tonisiqueira9543]

Sim mestre observei que o titânio é um material que deve se ter um tempo de trabalho mais prolongado devido a sua liga requer muita limpeza e um certo aquecimento e bem protegido com argônio tanto na soldagem como no término dela você é muito bom no que faz obrigado pela orientação sempre 🙏

[@FieldRes]

Thankyou! I appreciate that!

[@mariocaja3279]

Nice work!!!

[@FieldRes]

+Mario Caja Thankyou!! =D

[@mariocaja3279]

I'll have to make it up to GRB sometime in the next year for the 40 hr course.

[@FieldRes]

+Mario Caja Yeah!!! Its well worth it! I go there all the time!

[@JP-ku5ur]

Great video! how did you get the chance to learn Titanium?

[@HotLikeButta]

Beautiful welding man, I hope to one day be at the level you've attained. Are those sellstrom front flips still available? I've looked everywhere and the only place I found one was already in a hood they make

[@FieldRes]

+HotLikeButta Thankyou! I spend a lot of time at GRB College of Welding and Gerry the owner shows me how to do the welding and how to get it more precise. They do, www.castleweldshop.com will have them. They are also on instagram.

[@MRTYREMULISHA]

Nice work man those trailing shields look like they working good. How much cfh are you running through the trailing line? Love the music.

[@FieldRes]

+MRTYREMULISHA Thankyou! I am running 25 cfh through them. I could have gotten away with less but I figured I'll try it there and see what it does.

[@xx4x4x4]

god damn shiny beads!!

[@FieldRes]

+xx4x4x4 Thankyou! Its all to do with those Trailing shields, they really work better than what could be expected of them

[@7777bertito]

Greetings, I really like the video and the work you did, can you tell me the names of the songs that you used.

[@FieldRes]

+Alberto Ortiz Diamonds by Rihanna, take me to church by hoozier, comfortably numb outro solo by Tina S, wanted dead or alive covered by Jess Greenberg, Heart shaped box covered by Hayley Richman, Breathe Me covered by JulietteVMusic

[@dansalibi7466]

impressive

[@FieldRes]

+Dan Salibi thankyou!!

[@chrisrios435]

hey man good work.. is that hayley richman version of heart shaped box?

[@FieldRes]

+chrisrios435 I always mistook it for Lana Del Rey, but I googled her and yes, this one was sung by Hayley richman

[@weldscum]

you use the saw because a grinder would put to much unnecessary heat into the metal?

[@FieldRes]

+John Demkovich Friction from the grinder creates heat, interacts with the atmosphere forming oxides; it over heats the material. Plus grinding it creates massive bright sparks that creates big fires! and incredible smokey stuff. When I renew my welding tickets, I zip cut the pipe to get the coupons and the stuff is just terrible. Smokey, bright, and incredibly difficult to try and cut through. Terrible stuff. Its easier to file the material, its soft. a Reciprocating saw is incredible as well. It really does a great job removing material.

[@joshturner2161]

nice

[@FieldRes]

+Josh Turner Thankyou =D

[@Lunatech04]

What other metal would you say welds like titanium?

[@FieldRes]

It is tough to say because the chemical composition is purely titanium with a trace amount of other alloys (minimal)., even zirconium is purely zirconium, while stainless, duplex and nickel alloys are a multitude of varying different alloys, but a great portion is made up of chromium and nickel. Now when it comes to the technique., you can use a keyhole dab technique, like one would use on a nickel, duplex, super duplex or certain stainless alloys. It is actually easier to weld titanium than it is to use the same techniques used on titanium, for welding other metals. They are more effort, flow different, and at times require longer protective shielding of the deposited metal to achieve no heat tint.

[@makirompe]

Still me killing your patience. I can see a green tube on the top of the pipe/s which I think goes to the purgeye 300, I can see no venting hole in the same spot. Apart from a slightly oxidezed pipe which I guess is for pipe holding purposes only I can work out barely a 0% of the purging arrangement on the bottom of the pipe/s; and, even after having watched your video about exotic alloys welding(I'm mainly referring to the one mostly about inconel with a really interesting digression about aluminium and walking the cup tecnique), I cannot say for sure which ppm of oxigen you set as your goal. Briefly I'm both amazed and perplexed of how the f**k you managed to achieve such a perfect purge. Please enlighten me if you will. I reckon those very light brownish discoloration spots are enough away from the heat affected zone, so they're miles away form being an issue. Am I right? And finally the probably the most newbie's suited question of all. What the fuck is that thin, irregular line in the middle of the root pass that can been seen less than a minute before making me happy with Gilmour's guitar(7:00 onward)? Take care(...of your nerves, ...after reading my comment) Cheers

[@FieldRes]

+makirompe What I'm actually doing is the purgeEye just lets me know when my purge is good at low ppm. When it is, I remove the tape and now the argon vents out from how much tape I am removing. I am using a technique that is improper for the titanium, because looking through the gap overheats the metal and you have to remove more tape off which just lets the atmosphere in, so the technique is 'poor and improper' for this metal, but I was able to risk it and get away with it. but rather than remove a full side on the 6", I had a clear lens taped to the top section and looked through and removes from 6 to 9 oclock and welded the 1/4. The 2" was different, I removed 1/2 of the tape but with this, when I did the weld and protected away from the atmosphere, I just shut the purge off and everything external and internal then cooled the pipe down, cleaned, prepped, and then on went the gas again then the monitor did its job and then back to welding again. The bottom pipe was hastelloy, I have the titanium pipe taped to the hastelloy pipe because I can't weld them together. but the vent line was at the bottom of the hastelloy pipe. With the titanium, I am thinking about the Heat input, the purge quality/ppm of oxygen and the cleanliness/oxide removal. But in this video, heat input, techniques for heat input and interpass temp I scrapped because If I followed it perfectly then I would be there for a lot longer or else just lost interest in practicing all together, especially that 6" which just takes forever with welding, cooling, cleaning, prepping, it takes forever. Purge quality, that looking through the gap technique is not the technique you want to be using on this metal cause you need to remove too much tape and it overheats the metal with the technique, but intentionally I'd like to have less than 25 ppm, but those lightish brown spots would be a reflection on removing too much tape, which Im not concerned with those spots, they're not much of an issue to me especially practicing just to practice the metal rather than practice to be extremely strict towards a job. The oxides are a huge issue too, those need to be removed otherwise I'd have a great deal of heat tint formation. Thinking back, I should see if I cleaned far enough back to remove oxides away from the HAZ so all metal in the weld zone and heat affected zone does not have a single passivation layer, nor can heat up and form oxides - cause oxides within the molecular structure contain an atom of oxygen, which when the metal elevates in temperature, the oxygen will interact with the metal and form thicker oxide layer to protect the metal. The line is the vertex of the weld bead, like a peak, its funny to look at but it is the equivalence to a really concentrated reflection; that picture was shot through the gap of the pipe, but ultimately it would be the peak or vertex of the weld bead and depending how straight the line is, is a reflection on how precise I was feeding into the middle of the root.

[@makirompe]

+The Welding Channel - Fieldres You could not possibly be more clear than this. You don't know how much appreciate your explanation. I would be the happiest guy in the world if I could achieve your "not perfect" training results for actual jobs.

[@FieldRes]

+makirompe I spent a lot of time at GRB College of welding to get these results, I ask a lot of questions and apply the answers to the welding.

[@Anelson87]

We're did u get that hood

[@FieldRes]

+Amy Nelson one helmet my friend worked with a welder from Korea and she got it for me. Then another two I got from a welder on instagram who was from korea

[@Lunatech04]

Do you feather 🪶 the tacks?

[@FieldRes]

The tacks would not be full penetratuon root tacks, they would have been "bridge tacks' which would have been removed prior to welding that section.

[@minitom74]

a little jess greenberg eh...lol..great "voices?"
