Horizontal TIG Welding Root Pass Technique !

[@saraaaf]

9:30 seeing the inside really helped me understand how to keto the filter rod in the gap. Appreciate all the tips and tricks!!

learned more from this 14 min video, than my 3 weeks of carbon steel 2g high pressure class. Thank brother, wish I found this earlier.

[@JoeBlow-ln4zv]

Free golden knowledge. The hero we needed. Thanks

[@djsin2245]

Stvarno jedan od boljih videa, veliko hvala što delite svoje znanje i iskustvo sa početnicima. I eXtra naziv kanala.... 👍

[@X3MTIG]

Hvala ti puno na komentaru 👊

[@jaktucker777]

I started my first pipe welding job at a refinery a few weeks ago and these videos have been crucial in making the adjustment. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

[@X3MTIG]

Happy to hear that, wish you all the best 👊

Hvala ti buraz! 🙏👍

[@OnLyDoOom]

Your videos and detailed explanations have helped me greatly! Thank you so much for the knowledge and demos! What a gift!

[@X3MTIG]

Thanks! Glad they're helping! 👍

[@marclennon3743]

i have a fabrication company in the uk, been tig, mig and stick welding for near 20yrs and i have to say i really enjoy your videos and learn something from them also.... keep them coming buddy

[@X3MTIG]

Thank you bud I appreciate that 👍

[@mddenis1]

Hello, have a good weekend, thanks for another video! I am in Finland now, we fabricate hockey rink freezing systems. Mostly all piping is stainless 2mm thick, no xray or whatsoever. We mainly use stainflux paste to protect root instead of argon purge. Weld puddle behaves better than without purge but still not so good

[@X3MTIG]

Hey DM , thanks for your comment bud! Sounds pretty cool 👍 it’s always interesting to hear about all different things and projects that people are doing!

[@dziedzicpruski4649]

Another great video. When I started to tig welding years before I was looking for videos like yours and didn't find something that good. In sure that you helped a lot of young welders. Greetings from France

[@X3MTIG]

Great to hear that my friend 👍I appreciate that 🙏

[@Jacoby4465]

I think you are the GOAT of tig youtube

[@Borderweldingservices]

Yeap, this man is up there! Top 50 world wide! He’s blessed as he should be, he’s applied himself, as we all should! God bless you sir!

Perfect video, you make answer for my all question 😊☝️ Respect from Hungary 🇭🇺

[@patrickz8764]

Merci pour cette vidéo et ses informations 🇫🇷👷🙏

[@X3MTIG]

You are welcome my friend 👍

[@morgostas]

Another great video, super super informative!!! Even though now i can finnaly mach your root with no visibile "grapes" ,in this 2G possition, the video is still very helpfull to me. On 12:30 you mentioned about diferent wire feeding techiques. That sound so intriguing to see, if possibile some day in the future? Thanks for the awesome work and knoweledge sharing 👏

[@X3MTIG]

Hey brother, thank you! Yeah, as I mentioned in the video, I’ll make another one with different techniques, more demanding techniques! Soon 👍

[@DazFab_Metalworks]

Ive not done much tig..you make it look so easy,great video.

[@X3MTIG]

Thanks buddy!

[@jerrylogan7841]

In tigging i would tack of coupons then tack filler rod to tack and tap the rod into gap. Between the two tacks i would tap the filler in to the gap and turn up the heat and go over the filler rod. The inside weld would look like a wedding band. Perfect stringer. No under cuts or over penetraction. I found this way it allowed me to turn and burn faster and more effective than working harder putting in the stringer. With the hot pass next, i could turn heat up higher and push my root further in. Man, do o miss those days. I miss the money too. Those were the days my friend.

[@coolinbythebay5326]

Appreciate the videos man im in school been having trouble with cold wire and flat roots your channel really helped me alot getting closer and closer to getting ready to test and find a job im sure your videos and knowledge help others as well thans alot

[@X3MTIG]

Thanks for your comment my friend I appreciate that, and happy to hear my videos are helpful 👍

[@X3MTIG]

Glad to hear that buddy 👍👊

[@marvinharms1891]

Nice to see a welder considering the hard work a pipe fitter did for the butt.🤙

[@colmgillane894]

Brilliant piece of welding that

[@stipe573]

Odlican video ka i uvik! Znas sta je smisno? Ja dok gledan video, mislim si ka ovo izgleda super, sad cu i ja to bez problema uspit zavarit, kad ono nemogu ni priblizno trefit!!! 😂Ti si genijalac!!👏🏻

[@X3MTIG]

Haha, bas si me nasmijo 😂. Oni ovdje imaju izreku; everything looks easy until “you” do it! Ali nemoj da te to obeshrabri, stvar je u praksi, zavari ih 20 pa ces vidit promjene! 👊👍

[@Caboose7]

I am not being nit picky I am just sharing all the knowledge I know about welding. The gap there is much larger than 1/8, when using a stick electrode as a spacer make sure to break off the Flux. Measurements on stuck electrodes only refer to the green rod (the musch smaller metal rod inside the flux.) I would also recommend moving a little bit faster or lowering your amps to 95, because the back side is cooked. Your cup walking technique for the root is very good though. My personal preference is that I would not lay wire a root you wanna see the arc melt away the edges to ensure 100% penitration.

[@linassiskevicius7242]

thanks you for sharing your knowledge

[@SirYawasap9280]

Beautiful job!

[@mihailobaosic9147]

Congratulations, you work and explain very well... I think the current was a litle strong for the root pass. Let me add that your channel is currently my favorite and will be so in the future. Very nicely, clearly and professionally explains TIG welding procedures in real field conditions. All the best, keep it up

[@X3MTIG]

Thanks bud! Usually I go even higher with amps on horizontal!

[@mihailobaosic9147]

Da moja greska ja sam pogresno razumio, učinilo mi se da si rekao 150 a ne 115. Upravu si sto se tiče struje, ja obično na ovako debljim materijalima koristim od 125 do 140 u zavisnosti sa kakvim aparatom radim. Radio sam i sa milerom ali ne bih fronius menjao ni za jedan mada to je samo stvar navike i neki moj lični stav. Zelim ti puno sreće i uspjeha.

[@ericawuah4306]

Good video keep it up bro we appreciate 🙌

[@TANDERSSON100]

How long since you failed an X-ray? doing my first tests in a couple days, hoping i'll be a welder in near future. Favourite channel on youtube right now.

[@X3MTIG]

Thanks bud I appreciate that! The last time I failed X-ray was 2015 doing flux core on 24 inch pipe, in rollout! Machine malfunction caused porosity on the hot pass, it was impossible to see it with naked eye . Since then I always double check my equipment before starting to weld. For flux core only, tho! 😉👍

[@na7voice528]

It's very helpful

[@saviourtoesae4607]

Great one, supply hand position, can we know your secret on that

[@X3MTIG]

No secrets here, watch other videos, you’ll discover more!!!

[@nathanielclause2588]

Have you tried the laywire? 1/8 gap 1/8 filler and crank the shit out of the heat and you just push the rod to get penetration. I can’t ever seem to get it right

[@X3MTIG]

Hey bud, of course I did, and that’s what I’m usually doing, but I don’t make videos for show off , now since you mentioned that I might do one 😁👍

[@nathanielclause2588]

@@X3MTIG always so humble 😂if you could break down your process for that, and maybe possibly perhaps an in depth video about keyholing carbon in 5g on the top. I got hit with a closed gap and keyholed and dip with a 3 wire and the root was flush. I don’t keyhole my stainless but I know it’s gonna bite me in the ass when I get on higher alloys. Anywho, great video again man

[@bicolmadewelder]

is lay wire technique applicable for root pass? Your video is very informative. Thank you very much.

[@X3MTIG]

Yes it is bud. Thanks 👍

[@breffniarcher1653]

On your first root tack, how do you stop the pipe pulling in to offset the standing angle of the top part of the pipe? I put my tacks in and I end up pulling my pipe so I remove the first tack and punch a wedge in to open it back up.

[@uriel2448]

I have a question were you backfeeing the wire the whole time or were you just keeping it in the outside??

[@X3MTIG]

When back feeding keep filler rod in side, and in the puddle

[@florent.florentflorent3652]

Presque parfait, respect ;

[@alminpowerweldalminpowerweld]

Hie,I would like to see how you connected your Tig torch to the xmt.and is it water cooled.

[@X3MTIG]

No buddy, it’s air cooled torch 150 amps

[@jimgregory6629]

do you do a gas purge to prevent coking on the inside

[@X3MTIG]

Not really on a carbon pipe, did try tho, but purging only on stainless!

Hello. Nice video! where do i find that item you use for checking the gap? it looks useful as hell :D

[@X3MTIG]

Hey bud, you can get it on Amazon.

[@clivatxt]

@@X3MTIG yeah, found it! i didn't how to spell it ;) thanks for your videos!

[@weldingbilgin]

Kolay gelsin 🇹🇷

[@loganramirez316]

Should make little marks on the filler with wire cutters to see how much wire you’re actually feeding on the roots

[@faustinocano673]

Good 😮

[@burninmetal3825]

Even the pros dip the tip from time to time

[@X3MTIG]

Exactly brother

[@venkatchukka6207]

Super

[@armansyah9755]

Pipe spesification? Sch?? Ampere??

[@toddpick8007]

why wouldnt you butt the joints together as close as possible?

[@jimbob4456]

Why do you need such a big gap? Why don’t you just have them touch each other? I’ve never welded. Just curious

[@X3MTIG]

So I can get proper root penetration.
