Where is the video of you actually welding this? i would love to see this. I’m considering the Pipe Fitters Union after I graduate from Community College. I’m not so hot at TIG as I use to be but I’m willing to make it look great.

Yes it is. Now you know as well that I just don’t stick rod.

Is this 2% thoriated tungsten?

this video was very helpful for me. i still stick my filler rod from time to time, but learning to walk the cup makes for very nice welds. thank you.

Thanks for your input. It isn’t a big deal to dip the tungsten you can file it out or grind it out. Most of the time you won’t see tungsten inclusion. I know it is not desirable to dip the tungsten but it does happen. I have welded all those things you referred to as well except Titanium. I have done the purge on exotic metals too. That is the thing about welding friend. What works for some may not work for others, but it doesn’t make it wrong either way you go. Walking the cup is a blessing.

Thanks for all your efforts, BUT, as a welder who had to pass the 6G test, with argon purge for 100% penetration with TIG overpasses, 1/8 in. gap, then cut into four stripes, bent backwards and xrayed,
DIPPING is NEVER exceptable, expecially when referring to PIPE welding. Don’t like the “walking the cup” method or how you lay and not “add” the filler rod.
I have spent years behind the helmet doing stick, mig, tig, stainless, aluminum, titanium, mild steel, and galvanized.

Richie I am coming up the right side but I am using my left hand to control the rig and right hand to feed the filler rod.
If I am coming up on the left side it would be rig in the right hand and filler in the left hand.
