Combo Pipe Welding | 2G TIG Root, 7018 Fill Cap

[@scottcarr3264]

I really liked "man cub's" explanations about how to get a good root pass, and hot pass, and especially how to get around obstructions as you weld, very informative.

[@_Ayala_]

Excellent job explaining everything. I can tell you are camera shy but I understood everything pretty well especially when you are explaining while welding especially on that tig root

[@danduton746]

Its crazy how easy you make that tig root pass look... weldon, but i was wondering why you start out with 3/32's 7018's rather than just go right to 1/8 rods, would seem like higher deposition rate, only need to grab one type of rod therfore less time and potentially less cost for the filler metal and I would think better you might get better fusion and less chance of slag inclusions or porosity given the higher heat?

[@GAIS414]

I would have a hard time putting a cap over that beautiful hot pass! =D

[@commietube4273]

Great info especially on the pausing while tigging. Thx!

[@jamesedwards8146]

U did a great job explaining man!!!

[@benmiller5015]

I have a question about arc length in dc tig. Obviously you want as short of an arc length as possible for the best penetration but if you had to make a fairly wide bead as either a cap or just that the specs require it to cover more of the steel can you draw a longer arc length with higher amps to widen out your cone or are you better off just making multiple passes or doing some kind of weave or walk the cup?

[@Bobbobness]

Ben Miller sharpening your tungsten to about 15 degrees like a needle and you should get a wide, low voltage arc column.

[@richardsolomon8076]

Great job ManCub, easy to follow commentary, like the Tig hot pass ,,,, always seems a shame to hide the pretty welds :) keep up the great videos team.

Richard Solomon thank you

[@OnLyDoOom]

Did I hear that correct...1/8" 7018 @ 100amps? Little cold 🥶

[@aguilayserpiente]

Authentic instruction. Is it OK to stop the TIG weld to reposition the body and restrike the arc? At 12:00 was the arc erratic? Why?

I think you're referring to the camera shake.

Plz what are the tips on how to pass an xray weld test. Defects to avoid and things to do. Just tips thanks

[@mancubwelder7924]

Tip #1 If you even think you dip your tungsten stop right away and grind a little bit. Tip#2 If you keep welding with a dirty tungsten you are putting some particles of tungsten in the puddle.You wont even see it your eye. When they x-ray your pipe it will have tons of white tungsten particles when looking at the x-ray. Tip#3 Bring you tungsten back into your cup where you cant touch your puddle Tip#4 If your welding carbon steel get all the mill scale off where your are welding. Tip#5 On carbon still pipe get the glass (silica) deposits off with a file or whatever you have on hand. After you make each pass. Tip#6 Do a slight pause on your toes with tig to burn in good. That were you will get lack of fusion. Hope this help buddy

[@joachimsingh2929]

Good job! You have learned alot!

[@DarylYBubersky]

Maybe it's the camera microphone but it sounded like you were running 7018 in straight polarity. Also if you have a low spot on the root and you just turn up your amperage and run it over, you will just end up making it worse.

[@Chad_N_Stacey_Hopson]

[@stefanm5636]

I don't understand,mabye because I am newbie. Why you do not purge back side with argon? I saw some guys purge pipes.

[@dakotatallent9934]

A quick stringer with 3/32 lo-hi on the top of the bevel before the cap will make the last cap pass wet in alot better and you won't have to stack as much iron to get that last pass above the bevel. Anyways great job brother that's just a little trick I employ on any horizontal weld.

[@jimmyolive8185]

What kind of grinder did you use to take off the inside corrosion paint??

[@charleswashington2126]

Nice video I recently bust a 12 in schedule 40 mig root 7018 fill cap..busted me on cap didnt let it cool...happens...keep them comeing fellas

[@izzyboss6875]

Just curious but that sounds like an unusual procedure? Any reason they do a 7018 fill cap instead of FCAW? Or is just so they qualify two procedures for field work if guys need to stick weld sockets etc?

[@izzyboss6875]

My bad, it could be to do with base material too because we get some high alloy carbon pipe that can only be tig root and stick fill and cap to meet the required tensile strengths etc.

[@charleswashington2126]

Its pipeline procedures I dont know why it's that test but after pass the 6g they want 12 on12 saddle. For shop job....only flux is on there skids...and there 100% x ray also they build launchers for pigs ....so I had a lil bit undercut on the capp

[@jerrybrown1446]

Non-welder question: Is it common to do a combination of two types of welding? Why use TIG on the root pass?

[@JasmineTerry31]

It’s common to do tig for the root on pipe because it’s a very clean weld. You could use stick but stick has a slag coating when it cools that has to be removed. On a sealed pipe you would have no easy way to clean it. The fill passes are stick because if you did tig all the way out it would take forever because it has a low deposit rate.

Hi man cub I have a question for you or anyone that can be of any assistance I'm trying to figure out why I keep getting undercut when I do my last bead on my cap im running 1/8 7018 Excalibur rod @ 110 amps on a lincoln invertec the arc is set on soft also same settings for the bottom and middle pass on the cap no problems just on the top one same pipe as this video ,I've tried pausing longer on the top when I oscillate the rod in a zigzag motion to allow it to fill in but still get undercut also I allowed the pipe to cool down before I started the pass any guidance you can provide would be highly appreciated thank you for your time
