- In this TIG welding tutorial, with proven methods for welding success, I'll cover the basics of TIG welding, including the equipment you'll need, safety precautions, and step-by-step instructions for creating strong and precise welds. TIG welding, also known as Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), is a popular welding technique used in a variety of industries, including gas and oil industries, automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing. With its ability to create clean and precise welds, TIG welding is a valuable skill for any welder to have. In this video, we'll cover everything you need to know to get a successful weld with TIG welding, including tips and tricks for achieving perfect welds every time. So grab your welding gear and let's get started!
None of these videos are recorded in a fancy shop surrounded by sponsorship banners!
My videos are recorded at working sites in various locations and welding positions.
90% of my welding projects in videos are x-rayed, and if you like to see hands-on projects, welcome!

Fantastic work ,Like a machine weld !
I don't use any social media over than youtube so I won't be entering the giveaway but I just wanted to say you're the best guy to learn from on here when it comes to field welds. Keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot brother, I appreciate that 👊
Hey X3M, just wanted to let you know that I passed my class A, PWP 7, 9 and 10 and recently just joined my local pipe fitters union! I attribute my success to your channel. Obviously it was me that physically passed the tests, but your videos gave me a huge head start and helped me immensely. Just wanted to thank you for putting out these amazing videos. Best welding channel on UA-cam. Keep the videos coming brother 👊🏻
Hey buddy, that’s awesome news, and I’m really happy to hear that. Keep up the good work 👊
@@X3MTIG Does this dipping technique you do where you dip on each side work on the bottom of the pipe? How do you fight gravity to keep the root above flush?
Dip technique will NEVER fail you. Great content and views. Never feed in the metal or else you’ll get too much penetration. Just like the video shows, add wire only to each edge and the metal will naturally fill/penetrate. No matter if you’re doing freehand or walking root technique, always focus on breaking the wall.
Thanks for your input bud, well said, and really I got nothing to add.
@@smokensbackfeed the bottom
@mashedwatermelons2937 you can dip the bottom also just lower amps
@@X3MTIG can you use dip technique in bottom ? I was trying that, but i fail.
great job as always my friend. I assume it's chrome... did you use the 8018 B2 electrode for the cap pass?❤
Hey bud, yeah, guys from second shift finished that weld using 8018 rod.
Thx for sharing all ur knowledge
❤
seem difficult to handle all these welding positions
Positioning yourself is very important in welding!
Your videos have taken me too the next level. Please keep it up.
Happy to hear that brother 👊
Incredible skills and lessons as always!!
Thank you my brother as always 🤝
I use the same technique for years I just cut the tacks out as I come up to them for me it makes a more uniform root either way it just has pass x ray ..
Great one! 👏🏻
hey wanted to ask a personal question, do you feel what u do takes too much of ur life in terms of time,i work in plants just as you do, mostly stainless and im young (21) and im afraid i may waste my years working 12hr shifts.
I am going to also answer your question as it is extremely smart. Yes man, this job is extremely time consuming, difficult and demanding. You will never be at home, you will be working a lots in extremely stressful situations and if I was young as you, I would definitely, knowing what I know now, find a new profession. If I was 21 again, I would completely change my future, I’d go to college or University, choose the easier and smarter path!! It’s incredible how you already concluded that at your young age! Working with your brains it’s always smarter and easier than working manually!! 👏🏻
Like Mike said, it is extremely hard job and with welding you are always required to take welding tests every 6 months. If I was you, I would also consider other options as you still have time!
Thanks for your question buddy! I’ll give you honest answer. Welding is not easy, and it’s one of the most demanding trades in industry. The term Journeyman comes from lifestyle, as people were always on the road from job to job, and never home with their families and kids. My advice to you, if you already in this , and making decent money, and you don’t have family yet, save some cash and invest in your future, and that’s education! You are still young and you still have chance to choose your future and career!
@@mikewelder7014 Thank you for your answer! it has helped me 👍
@@X3MTIG Thank you brother, this was much needed input for someone who works in a similar welding field as me. 👍
Super video buraz! 😎
Hvala 👊🍺
Bella penitrazione ❤.
Great video . I mostley allways use the dip technique especially with difficult metals . However i must say that sometimes you have to weld very dirty or low quality steel , then the laywire was the only way it would weld good . Everyone who welded at the basf plant in Antwerpen Belgium can relate , the moment you disconnected your filler from the weldpool and opened a keyhole you got porosity and small firework , and you needed to keep your weld on the minimum heat to make it weld . Man i hated that steel, everybody complained about it . What i find really strange is that such a big and rich company would cheap out on material cost , witch in turn makes the production cost higher because of more repairs and slower production rate because you needed to let the metal cool down to room temperature between passes . Other than that keyhole and dip are king . Keep up the good work
hello, there will also be an episode on the channel with how the welder of this pipe with an electrode?
Hey bud, unfortunately not, different shift, different guys, !
When I keyhole I have issues knowing how much to push in, I always end up with a low root or too much of a root. But I’m gonna try dipping on both sides when I get the chance. Great video brother 🤙🏼
Thanks for your comment brother! Dipping on both sides, choosing right amperage and rod size, and travel speed is crucial! Every joint is different and requires experience to determine how you going to execute your task, and that comes with time, and practice! Play with your settings to find fine tuning and you’ll be golden 👊
What a job! Definitely worthy the name Extreme TIG 👌 as always great video and explanations, thanks for sharing.
Thanks brother 👊👍
Excellent video, I’m interested if you could make a video on feathering tacks and tying back into your root
Always great videos man! Would be nice to get a really wide angle shot to see exactly how you position your body and arms for these welds. Keep up the great stuff!!!!
Thanks brother 👊
Also I got placed on shop where will be doing nothing but big bore 30", 42" heavy wall etc. So I'm kinda over thinking getting a little paranoid
I am a welding electrode and when i wanted to learn tig and find problems in learning that he has been very difficult and I have finished the course without learning almost how much needs to learn to welding ???
TIG is hardest to learn and to be really good at it it can take a years.
Bro can you give me a video of how he weld the down cos i really struggling when it come to bug pipes welding from the bottom thanks
*😁 Another great video. I watched the video you did a month ago on the F6/F4 Max T and left a question for that video also. I realize while in the field you are too busy to get to all the comments. Just a quick question, does taking that Max T test you took using carbon 70-S2 wire and 7018 for fill and cap also qualify you to do chrome? I haven't tested at Local 488 for quite some time. Keep up the good work Brother.*
Hey bud, sorry for delayed reply. Yes, F6/F4 PQ test, welder who qualifies on a P1 to P1 material is also qualified to weld P-1 trough P-15F , P-34 and any P-40s.
@@X3MTIG Very Interesting. I have worked through Local 488 for many years but have only worked through the pipeline division for the last 15 years so I am a little out of touch with the Industrial side. So, to test on a carbon coupon with 70 wire and 7018 will qualify the Welder for P1-15 base metals. That does indeed also qualify to weld on a chrome base metal, but in fact also qualifies to weld on P8 which is the stainless steel designation. Yet, when they test for stainless, they test with on carbon (base metal) with 309-L filler material and on the qualification card the only P number on there is P8 which only qualifies the Welder to weld on a stainless steel base metal. The last time I tested at the Hall to qualify for chrome you had to test with 80 wire and 8018 electrodes and that would qualify you for P1-4 base metals only. I guess things have changed.
Tija san te vec dugo pitat… kolko si ti dugo vec tamo? Cini mi se da se dobro mucis brate moj.. lipse bi ti bilo kuci nekako mi se cini! Odlican video ka i uvik! Pozdrav iz Splita
Aj javi mi se na mejl
هل اذا شاهدت فيديوهاتك سأكون لحاما ممتاز
Again nice video, good arc shots. Great to see your welding skills. Big pipe, loads of welding, but i hate when people are standing around me and keep me rushing. Keep up the good work✌🏻
I agree with that, that’s why I always remind people around me, that welders are like wheelbarrow; hard to push but easy to upset!
Can u use dipping technique while welding overhead?
Ohh yeah, little bit tricky but doable!
@@X3MTIG what’s the trick, hold the walls fast over middle?
Like allways my brother,great vídeo,greetings from France man hope One day we weld together!🫂👏🏻🙏🏻💪🏻
Can it be translated into Arabic
Yes 👍
❤❤
When fitting such a huge diameter pipe is there a lot more strength with those thick tacks? We are fitting pipe which are a meter in diameter. These are also 18 meters long which means the tack as to be strong when you lower the pipe. I ask because what I usually do is weld 30-50% of the root in place of tacking. I have never tried masking those massive thick tacks before. Does it work? Are they strong? Fitting massive pipe is a pain in the ass and while dealing with weather conditions and holding up the crain operator. I just wonder if these massive fat tacks would work. It would be much faster and it gives me better time and conditions to do a proper root.
How much should be the angle or inclunination on the bottom side of the tungsten to the pipe ? When freehand and when walking the cup but especially freehand.
You got some great content.. but recently I got hired at a new job and they use er70s2 but not one that I was familiar with. It looks silver, I guess it's coated 70s2. And wheen I tested, it was way different. Hard to explain kind of. On the bottom it was flat with cold wire and I don't have problem with carbon but am with this wire. Any videos on this specific wire?
I’m also on a job with 70s2. Really brings your confidence down.
@Justin Grubbs they put in a big bore pipe shop. I made the necessary adjustments and started coming out good. But ya out did shoot my confidence down for a bit.. like dam this wire better be wayyyyyyyy cheaper or smthg

Of course, I will dub all the technical words and everything that goes on in the video or content. And appreciation❤️❤️
Perché non levi i tacchetti mentre saldi e invece li levi dopo??ora si vedranno molte riprese nella saldatura
What kind of welding lense you got?
hey buddie, in what kind of industry do u work at?
Ocito ne u pekarskoj! 🤦🏻♂️🙄
Oil and gas
Lol 😂

Thank you my friend 👊👍
Mrak video!!👏🏻
Another welder I see that burns the stamp off the wire. What happens when QC wants to see the stubs?
They don’t need to see stubs. There should be a filler rod tracker or they can PMI the weld if they are that concerned with it.
Hey X3M, what size diffusers to go on the couplings?
Hey bud, 3/8 .
