Few Things To Avoid When TIG Welding Root Pass !

Things To Avoid When TIG Welding Root Pass !
What is a root pass in TIG welding?
Root passes use weld filler material to close the root space between the weld faces. Follow tips regarding shielding gas, welding preparation, and weld techniques to make TIG welding your root pass successful. The video gives viewers good insights into placing excellent and solid root passes. You will get to learn about different technical paths that you can explore. With the appropriate training and practice on the operator's part, learning to place the root can become an invaluable skill!

[@mehdimokaramrad666]

Hello gentlemen, In pass on,or root pass all your attentions were accurate, from the presence of tungsten and the necessary amount that should be outside of the ceramic, as well as the size of the tube gap to have good penetration to take X-rays, thank you for your accuracy.

Can you make video about feeding the wire? I’m talking about those few techniques of feeding, what is your favourite one, and wich one is the hardest way to do it according to you.

[@X3MTIG]

Thanks for your suggestion bud, I can’t promise anything, but if I get some free time maybe I’ll do it.

[@micmike]

Great lesson and examples, thanks

[@X3MTIG]

Thanks buddy, glad you liked it 👍

[@MiguelRodriguez-dh4zg]

This guy is a beast. Top side is my biggest struggle also over feeding getting too much metal on the outside of my root, but I’ll keep practicing.

[@vendetta1306]

God bless you

[@morgostas]

Another video with valuable info. Thanks again 🙏. Love the tip on 5:55 about the lost connection with the puddle. Tomorow is my practice day. Feeling exhausted today, from prepearing 20+ practice pieces of tube from the scrapyard, it took whole day of inhailing rust clouds. And this video come in the right time for the inspiration i need for my practice day 😎

[@X3MTIG]

Thanks buddy I’m glad it would be helpful 👍

[@stevemcfadden6180]

Excellent welds brother. Really enjoy all your videos excellent job. Some time we jump around different jobs , different technique. It's been a while Actually over a year tig test two of them tomorrow. You're definitely help me refresh. Excellent job again❤❤❤❤

Hey bud, great point, yes it does 👍

[@mariuszel759]

I wonder how much per hour a welder like you gets. You are my role model. Im doing city and guilds level 2 tig stainless in the uk and one day i want to weld like you

[@X3MTIG]

Hey bud, it al depends from your skill set, company you work for, certifications, but generally speaking, somewhere between $35 to $60 per hour!

[@X3MTIG]

Thanks brother I appreciate that 👊

[@dennisyoung4631]

I have found that one wants enough current to “wake up” the tungsten. Up to 70-80 amps wants a 1/16 tungsten. 100+ desires a 3/32 or so. I’ve yet to go much over a hundred, as access to 220 is difficult for me.

[@rajeshdalai4946]

Beautiful

[@michaelhallas6450]

When you redid the root pass , what size tungsten did you change to ?

[@X3MTIG]

I’m always using 1/8 Tungsten

[@nicholaswalker5219]

U deserve so much more recognition than what u have we really appreciate everything u do & the knowledge u give us whatever u do don’t give up because of lack of recognition you help out alot more people than you think your channel is literally the Only channel on KZbin that breaks Everything down in detail & you actually take the time to explain everything u do step by step with a close up look I just wanted to say thank u & keep it up bro we recognize u & we’re learning from u I know I am & I’m pretty sure other people are too 💯👌

Great Vid - is there one like if for stainless? I never seem to see stuff like 6" sched 40 stainless thanks!

[@dave-mf5tv]

I only can put a perfect root in on carbon at 65 or 70 amps never loose connection. If I go hotter it's constantly loosing connection and opening up the keyhole. I'm confused.. you move faster maybe?

[@X3MTIG]

I do move faster, but you have to work on your tungsten and filler wire inclinations…

[@davoodamookhteh7943]

Please do this in 4 inches pipe and explain about tungsten and cap

[@user-zb1fo4qn3q]

How much should be the angle or inclunination on the bottom side of the tungsten to the pipe ? When freehand and when walking the cup but especially freehand.

[@dangsure6074]

[@Woogsie]

Just realized that I've been watching your vids for months without subscribing. That's fixed now though. Shame on me, and you too if you're doing the same.

[@werxomatherix7089]

Need help, I there some way how calibrate ampere? Bc my welding machine stuck on max when the display show 10A or more, less is still welding like a 180A

[@vladosr1282]

Pozdrav iz Srbije! Prenosis sustinske stvari u zavarivanju,svaka cast! Mozes li mi reci molim te koliko zatupis ivicu korena? I da li je moguce da ima toliko odstupanja u odnosima amperaza,razlike medju aparatima? Jer 130A na kempiju zvuci previse za koren i imam osecaj da bih progoreo materijal prebrzo.Oprosti na poduzem pitanju.Hvala ti na odgovoru i svako dobro zelim!

[@X3MTIG]

Pozdrav, Za zatupljivanje ivice korijena sve zavisi od materijala kojeg se vari. Generalno, osobno volim, noz na crnim cijevima, a kod inoxa oko 1 do 1 1/2 mm, cisto iz prevencije “ internal undercut “ . Dali ima razlike u masinama ? Ima, naravno i meni se cak nekad desi da koristim istu masinu u elektrani i rafineriji i ima razlike u napajanju. Ovdje su uglavnom Miller i Lincoln, odlicne masine, pogotovo na diesel, ali mislim da Kempi je vise specijaliziran za Tig i sadrzi kvalitetnije komponente, tako da je sigurno razlika u amperima. Hvala ti na komentaru i svako dobro!

For better root penetration it is always good to feed rod from inside.

Why is there so mutch slag on your root? I know it dosnt matter stabilitywhise,just wondering because it never happend to me or my coworkers

[@Avila543]

Do you walk coming up on the left side on 6g on root?

[@X3MTIG]

Yes I do

[@Avila543]

Hot and covers too?

[@Avila543]

I’m testing right now ?

[@Avila543]

I’m putting an 1/8 gap and using 1/8 filler rod

[@Avila543]

Does that sound right?

[@soulsharts]

I'm in 2nd semester welding school so forgive the ignorance, but why does undercut matter on a root pass? You'll be doing a hot pass right after that will fill the undercut in anyway, yea?

[@X3MTIG]

I doesn’t on the outside, but on the inside matters.

[@soulsharts]

@@X3MTIG oh I see, yea that makes sense. I wasn't thinking about the inside of the pipe.

When welding bottom of pipe if I can't get cup to walk I like to finger the bottom and when u get puddle in bottom going pull rod up a bit and roll rod side to side it ropes that bottom part of bead right on in take your time and get right ..
