[@johnnywadd9918]

I had a job at united technologies one time running monel for a oxygen line in an explosive environment. We tested 5 welders before we found one that could make the welds. Very high nickle content makes welding this alloy difficult. You are very good and would have been a great asset in our local.

Very skilled welder, he definitely made this look far easier than it really is. Great work!

[@ypaulbrown]

Great Video...and informative.... When it comes to welding rod, I like to leave the stamped alloy name on and just bend the rod to 90 degrees at the name, that way I know what alloy the rod is and it gives me a way of picking the rod off a flat surface while wearing gloves by rolling the rod until the little tail is upright and grabable. It also lets me know what end of the rod is hot if I lay it down..... It looks like you do not need a post flow on the bead , unlike Stainless, is that correct? Thanks .Cheers form Florida, Paul

[@cirizawelding5076]

I usually use full length rod (not cut in half) that’s why I clip one stamp off and it’s not as sensitive to oxidize like stainless but if it’s super hot it will

[@kf8575]

Inspectors and QA staff where i work, do their crust if stub ends of rods dont have the stamped part in lol

[@eagle908]

I’m having a lot of problems trying to weld 2 different materials using TIG, alloy 20 vs SS 316 😢 any ideas ?

[@onemantwohands5224]

Lol super dangerous to weld as far as carcinogens go , read the packet for the welding rods ! Wow . We were making chemical screens with it in 3-6mm sheet with a heap of tube penetration through it . Felt quite dirty to weld with a dusty skin forming on the surface on the pool. Interesting stuff 👍

[@evanchi9460]

Every welding rod ever made has the same carcinogen labels. Welding in general is badly carcinogenic. Really no getting away from it.

[@johnbrennan4759]

Try a mix of argon 2.5 or 5.0% hydrogen that will clean your weld pool and produce a smoother weld

[@panzerfaust7672]

Yes that's why it's mandatory in a lot of EU countries for the employer to provide you a speedglass PAPR unit

I noticed he wasn't wearing a respirator either! Not a good idea. If it was carbon, sure, whatever, but not a chance I weld stainless/inco/monel without at least a respirator.

[@yasintalukder167]

Very Nice welding

[@zacharylangley3512]

Drip 3/32 on one side and drag over. Lay wire on monel and other nickel alloys is not the best way to root. Monel also holds a lot of heat. Around the same size pipe I was hot passing on 220 and filling at 280. Nickel alloys heat is generally your friend. This rooting method works great from duplex to inco to even pure nickel.

[@charleswest6449]

Most people get impatient and don't watch their interpass temp and weld to much at once. They often weld to much and push the root pass into pipe

[@mattsimpson1608]

Yep, and this really should be kept below 300 interpass temp

[@michaelshortridge6379]

I always was told to weld quarter at a time. Stagger the quarters. So your gap wouldn't close on you.

[@slayerguitar]

You are right, keep doing that please lol some welders watch this and fuck my fits right up ahahah

[@cirizawelding5076]

With good penetrated tacks and putting your root in quickly it will stay pretty straight

[@alecj9227]

if you can weld stainless you can weld monel. it aint that deep or intimidating. just read the puddle and weld

[@johnbrennan4759]

Always found monel welds better with a mix of argon with either 2.5 or 5.0% hydrogen

[@hooddowntime2143]

[@buddybell4426]

So you don't have to turn the purge down for the final tie in on alloy?

[@jeepwk6.5L]

You can, but if you have a good vent hole for it to outlet to then no. It’s just got to have a secondary exit other then the root opening at the last tie in

[@Thebrownhammer23]

What was the amps on the root

[@ninesixteengenetix]

You could just snip your rod in half and chuck the flat ends when you get them down to a stub

[@grege2383]

Starting the purge before taping up - I didn't think argon was that cheap. It's obvious this changes is now geared towards the pros and nothing more than eye candy for the hobbyists.

If this gentleman would have chosen SMAW it would require a fresh air respirator.Simply because the process WPS ,requires a type of Inconel filler metal. The Flux on the SMAW Electrode , would produce Hexavalient Chromiium Gases . Lots of Red Tape and Costs . FYI 35+ yrs of Code Welding Good Job ! 👍 Tip: Flush more ,Cary less metal on Reinforcement Beads , =SLICK WELD WITH CONFIDEBCE !

I know it's a test coupon, but should you not be using proper metal purge tape and Argon + 2.5% or even 5.0% Hydrogen shield gas to really clean up the weld.pool

Welded a lot of this. Are you using Argon with 5% Hydrogen. Have always welded,Monel and Monel 400 with this. And Cunifer. They are all poiseness fumes guys!! Wear an air fed.!!!

This comment is the truth, in the EU you will almost see air feds in every shop not like the states welding alloys with just a flip up hood lol, a lot of the safety rules were made up by American companies but they are still working like the 50's...
