Dip technique will never fail you. I try to tell all welders to never focus on the middle, the bevel edges are the most important. It helps prevent too much penetration. Break the walls and the wire will do the rest of the work.. love the content!

❤❤❤❤ my friend is always wonderful and comforting and instructive to see you weld and to hear your good explanations! Yesterday I was welding in Waterloo 527 and I have to drive 2 hours to get there to train and yesterday was back feeding Joy for the first time my friend and thanks to you and a couple of other great instructors who have been showing on UA-cam how to backfeed the bottom part or the overhead part of the pipe welding exclamation mark it was very exciting and I feel very good inside to be able to start to do back feeding on the overhead section!❤❤ thank you very much❤
I wish I could walk the cup on a root. I always go freehand for the control but I just love how it comes out with walking. Passed my first two x rays on this combo job. Great video brother, keep on keepin on 🤙🏼
I can make a pretty weld on pipe but for it to pass xray is still a challenge. Im certified on x r ays for butt welds ane verticals bur pipe ive been practicing all week. I can get 1/2 to maybe 3/4s of a decent root. But i keep getting 2 or 3 chunks of rod that dobt get fully melted. 😢 wont give up till i get it. You're videos definitely help
You are a genius brother!!! Love your videos and how humble you are, love your explanations, one can learn so much from you, thank you!!! Btw: what do you think of welding mon and hagojibi?
Hey bud thank you very much for your kind words, I really appreciate that 👍 To answer your question; both guys are great tig welders, I like Hagojibi’s style and welding controls, and welding mon is also great welder, doing lot’s of welding in the field .
Soon i wiil start practicing to this.i only know fill caps with stick.not root pass all the others.i want try this..i understand a little better what some things i didnt knew.i ll try to do it as like you.....
Just curious, are you doing these welds in position just for the purpose of instruction? Normally this whole spool would just be rolled out. Nice welds anyhow.
Hello im your one admiring your works .can i request for this using 2.4filler rod with a 4mm gap? I want to see more tichnique for this process.thanks. I always watch your UA-cam
I’m not a pro but most of the pipe welding I’ve seen in my life has just been done with stick. What’s the reason behind spending the extra time to use TIG for the root? Is there a structural or functional reason or is it just preference?
Hey bro, thanks for your question! I cannot give you expert advice, only my opinion! I think HF or high frequency machines, can cause potential problems to your pacemaker, not really sure about laser machines. You should read manufacturer guidelines and consult with your doctor!
Hello let's assume the gas pressure is correct, let's assume the wolram is well ground, why does the tip burn very quickly? what can cause it? in the settings?
Question for the tungsten electrode is the tip always completely sharp or should it be alittle blunt flat on the end cause when I do ac welding with aluminum for example it’s supposed to kinda ball up be a little blunt or like bullet shape I believe not as narrow as I would for like using mild steel or stainless steel in dc just curious my welding fundamentals 6th edition says that
Curious about your preference for lift arc on carbon but scratch start for stainless. I normally use lift for both if the machine has it. Why the difference?
Hey buddy thanks for your comment. Actually my preference is opposite, scratch start on carbon and lift arc on stainless. I don’t have any issues using any of this two options if available on welding machines. With the lift TIG, you cannot stick the tungsten electrode to the metal when striking initial arc, which is ideal for welding stainless as you want to minimize grinding , and have everything nice and clean , and for carbon I use scratch start , and even if I get arc marks it’s easy to remove them with grinder, without causing any visual issues. Both options works great once you dial in, in my case it’s more of a habit.
@X3M TIG ok yeah i was just curious. I generally use lift arc on everything if the machine im using has that function. I have actually been on a few jobs where the QC wouldn't allow scratch start, only wanted us using lift arc. They were concerned about arc marks outside of the weld zone from guys popping the wire when we arc up.
A question for anyone with experience. I dont do a lot of pipe and none of my pipe I do is real critical in the sense of inspection or x-ray. Usually fence, gate, bumper but no sanitation. Regardless I still want full pen and I'm about to pull what little hair I have left out. I have beveled to a feather edge, gaped to loose 1/8. I have key holed, I have gone to break down one edge and swing to opposite edge with 1/16 and 3/32 filler and can't seem to get consistent weld inside. Ill have a good bead going then looks like I got half way. This got me to go even further and start purging, which for me and my purpose is not necessary but it's a chance to make improvements to me. I have put root pass in from 80 amps to 150amps but using a pedal so I havent hit that high. Pipe is stainless sch10. Sch10 how the F am I not have filler at least fall that deep?? It's hard to make suggestions without watching what they do but should I gap more, spend more time hanging out on the sides, key hole big and use 1/8 filler (havent tried that)? The aggravating part is how I've made the puddle look so fluid like it could fall out at any second only to find out I didn't get deep enough. Wtf? Since I'm having tunnel vision on something not necessary for our purpose my employer is reaching a point wondering why I'm hung up on getting over this hump. Chances are I'll never have a job or project requiring a full 0en with reinforcement but its just the point, challenge and now it's either I conquer this or the pipe wins.
What angle are you holding the tig wire when you are backfeeding the bottom of the pipe? It almost looks like the wire is parallel to the joint. I’ve been practicing backfeeding, sticking the tig wire through the top of the pipe as I’m welding the bottom, but I’ve been struggling. I’m wondering if it will help if I hold the tig wire inside the bevel but more parallel with the joint as opposed to perpendicular?
Let me make sure I understand you correctly. By 90 degrees, do you mean you are holding the tig wire on top of the pipe and you are feeding it straight down at a 90 degree angle to the joint?
Hello, i'm curious, habitualy how many amps you weld approximately in this configuration ? For have an idea of rapidity when you bring the metal into the weld pool at the 6 o'clock to 9 o'clock position, depending of the welders but just like that, thank you for your videos
I have been welding in the chemical industry for the last 12 years, and always take 5/32 gap so I can fee's wire from inside. I am starting to try and transition to a 1/8 loose gap to fill with a 3/32 wire. I just get concerned about having enough wire lay in because I have cut my down on wire size.

Good day sir, your welding is so class, and I love to learn it. I hope you can teach me
You can do it!💪
Im usually wielding stainless. Your videos helps me when I have to work with carbon.
Glad to hear it
Good job that's a BIG root opening. I like a smaller root less chance of suck back. Good job my friend
That's the way I've been doing it for 30 plus yrs only 3 repairs in all that time and that was surface perosity on stick 92"horizontal, keep it hot🌀🙏

do you have a video for the beginners how to start root pass and how to learn to walking the cup and also feeding filler wire??
Check out other videos on my UA-cam channel , I’m sure you’ll find what you looking for 👍

God bless you q You told very well, after seeing it, I am also welder of Tig & Arch but my route is not coming right, please help me.
Can you give me a tip about controlling the filler wire? Which position is better?
You have to learn to control it with fingers and try to rest or support on your tack…
@@X3MTIG Im using my index finger and middle finger to hold the wire. And then pushing it with my thumb.
Nice job, thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching!

Do you leave any landing on the bevels, I welded in Several oil refineries in Louisiana your accent sounds familiar u a master craftsman
Thanks for your comment bud, usually I go with feather edge on my bevels…
Super program! Brawo😊
That was some good instructions.

Depends sometimes the sparks can be too violent for the plant or area your working at
Wonderful sir thanks
You are very welcome!
In this business you have to tig in the refineries you have to become combination plain and simple, practice and more practice 🌀🙏
Thanks for the tip
Would if be safe for me to use Laser weld , as I have a Pacemaker.

What is the distance between tungsten electrode and filler metal?
Great advice
Nice video, subscribed :)
Thanks for the sub!
I have trouble when walking the cup for the root pass, usually the puddle comes back into the tungsten.
very very nice ❤❤🎉
Nice job 💪
Cuantas veces se puede soldar un tubo que salió mal en prueba radiográfica
Two times max, and if you failed again it’s a cutout.
You know what would help... try and score a cross hatch pattern on your fill rod so we can judge about how much rod your feeding.
Thanks for to give dip technique
That tungsten is sharp as hell
What do you use?
Diamond wheel
Sir pls tell me how to stop the filler cut at the time of root extraction
