How many amps were you running on the root? BTW you have some of the best videos for welding I've ever seen. Even though I've been doing welding, I always ask questions about it learning more than I did before. You're instruction is awesome and thank you for what you do.
@@X3MTIG Wow, I never met anyone from Croatia. Why none of you guys in the U.S. or there are but not many? I want to try Croatian restaurant food. After a while, you get tired of the usual restaurants: italian, mexican, chinese, french, india, etc.
Great job on the 625 as verified with the bends. Years ago while welding for Dow Chemical I developed the WPQR & WPS for Inconel 690 (high pressure/high temp) for Phenol service. After which I welded 400+ 2”xxhy-4”xxhy butt welds 75% in 5G position free-hand, balance rolled.(tells how long ago it was LOL) The 1st thing I learned with the nickel heavy material is I needed a “uniform keyhole” for a 100% root and I see the same as you put your root in. In Dow we welded to the ASME Codes and to the ANSI B31.3 for most piping. All Inconel 690 welds were radiographed 100% as per ANSI B31.3 “Severe Service” classification.
Another great video!! Thank you so much man!!! Definitely one of the best welding channels out there with amazing content. Your videos are top quality and you really accomplish to teach and give lessons to all of us! You have my biggest respect brother, thank you!!!🙌🏾👍🏾

I was thinking about watching another vid of yours and then this pops up, great timing and great video as always, you make it look to easy, stay safe 👍
I welded some ERNi-1 today . Root was good but I did noticed that once it came down to the fillers it was a little dirty on the surface . It was ERNi-1 wire to carbon steel pipe
Hey bud thanks for your comment. Yeah I’ve been using that mixture in the shop, makes weld puddle more liquid. Out in the field we use only high purity argon.
One of my best tips i ever got from an old boiler tube welder.. that wire moves you just cant see it.. keeping it clean is impossible in boilers so its rough
7:20 looks like you have some shoulder at one o'clock, but the rest looks fabulous. I took this test today and busted it for what they claimed was suck back. The lab that I test at is unforgiving, and only allow grinding once or maybe twice, outside only. No grinding in the booth. I thought that you were supposed to dip the rod all the way around. My biggest problem came at the top quarter when I tried to seal up the gap. I did my hot and filler passes at 225 amps, but it was a super coupon. Was this too hot?
@@X3MTIG - Thats the problem. I don't know how to get good root protrusion. This inconel wire that they are using today seems different than the wire that they used in the past. In the past, if I busted this test (which I usually passed), it was for having to much protrusion inside the pipe. Today I can't seem to get enough in, no matter what I do. Could it be a different grade of inconel or brand of wire that is making the difference? These yo yo's that run this test lab don't believe those details are important, and have never been welders professonly. According to welding codes, suck back is allowed, because it is compensated for by the reinforcement on the cap. Yet this lab still won't pass it on a test. I took this same test four months ago and passed it, even with the same stuff wrong with it. This place has become inconsistent with what they fail or pass and their tests are a joke.
Love your videos I have a question why do you like bridge tacks over root tacks, like you have to grind them out and it just seems inconvient compared to a root tack, I know you know what your doing Im just wondering why you prefer bridge tacks. This is with respect I'm just bad at explaining what I mean.
He's the Best welder on UA-cam so I don't have much input...lol but my two cents when you bridge tack you don't have to purge while tacking up so it makes things easier. And also there's way less tie-ins

I’m having a hard time with ER-Ni-1. Dam wire runs away from the puddle.
Nice to see someone bending their welds.
I welded some ERNi-1 today . Root was good but I did noticed that once it came down to the fillers it was a little dirty on the surface . It was ERNi-1 wire to carbon steel pipe
Yeah, keep rod connected to puddle as long as possible, and grind stop-starts, helps reduce impurities.
Was it ERNI-1 or ERNICR-1
@@candyman5749 similar thing, except in your case copper is the problem that creates impurities with ERNi-1
In the UK we often use argon with 2.5% or 5% hydrogen shield gas for inconel cleans the weld pool
Hey bud thanks for your comment. Yeah I’ve been using that mixture in the shop, makes weld puddle more liquid. Out in the field we use only high purity argon.
@@X3MTIG Glad to help a fellow master of metal amalgamation 🤣 (it's been a while since I was hands on)

It’s not too hot if you have good root protrusion, but if you go to hoot and don’t have enough meat in your root, that’s when suck back occurs!

@@candyman5749 that’s possible too, unfortunately I’ve seen that happen before.
When you finished the root on the inconel, is it requiered to keep the purge on for the hot pass, fills and caps ? Great video
It’s a good habit to keep it until hot pass is done.
@@X3MTIG so fills and cap can be ran without the purge correct ?
@@kaneflores1014 correct 👍
You like knife edges? And about backing gas? All way for that thickness?
I always use knife edge , backing gas it all depends from the pipe diameter, and all the way tig was welding procedure.
😊most enjoyable channel . I think I will pass this too !
Thank you! 😊You will for sure 🤞👍

Why do you start on the top when you do your fill passes, i thought it was supposed to be from bottom to top, well that’s what they’ve always told me
Can you please show , big duplex pipe in potition 5g..thanks..

What amps did you run the cap beads bro?
Are you a boilermaker by any chance?
Hey bud, no I’m with pipe fitters atm.
@@X3MTIG488 local by chance?
👏🏻
so you dont put a landing on it ? just asking a question since ima be taking one soon
I prefer not to, but lots of guys like some land on it.
@@X3MTIG another question when you start on your root do you grind off the spacers you have taked up there
Çok güzel bir paylaşım 🤝
Thanks brother 👍
Is this like welding invar36
👏👏👏👏👏
@1:08 it seems like the material is magnetic. Is it really inconel you are welding here?
Carbon coupon with inconel filler wire
You warped that pipe
i am also welder but when tig welding there is problem i want to learn to be help me
