Hello everyone and welcome to the extreme Tig Channel
so for today's video guys it's gonna be continuation of the previous video I published
it's a 10-inch fill to flush and a cap as you can see I'm using two torches 150 rated both
I'm gonna use each torch on one side so this side I'm gonna do one torch and the other torch
on the other side is the getting hot really quick and fast so I have to change Parts really
frequently so for welding machine Miller xmt the old beauty skratch start TIG, Zero arc control
and for the amps, it's a 170 - 170 amps it's gonna be for fill pass and for
the cap as well as you can see this is the idea filled to flush all the way up adding that rod
Rod is1/8 70S-6 cup size 8 I'm gonna start here by making a build-up
um kind of inclined all the way up with that with that material and fill to flush stretch
that puddle all the way to the sides and adding Rod it's a kind of synchronized move
you wanna it's not just holding that rod in the middle and stretching the puddle because
you're not gonna accomplish that as you can pay closer attention to the bottom of that puddle
you can have like air pockets or you can easily trap some areas they're not going
to be covered with the material so you want to kind of
dip on the sides you want to search that puddle at the same time it's not only side to side it's you
can as needed to add that rod in the middle on the side on each side you just want to maintain
the the same uniform build up you want to have a little Flash as a as I said follow
that side to side motion with your tungsten as the same with your rod and then just pushing
inside you want to put that material in you want to fill that Groove as it's uh wide wide and big
deep and uh with a good amperage it'll be nice if I could run uh 200 amps but unfortunately I can
as I said only 150 right to those uh torches so 170 is a already over the max
just that at the rod just to maintain that
to be nice and Flash
all the way sides and the middle as I said Pay concert attention you know you gotta
you gotta keep an eye on your puddle as you can see here how actually wide and deep that
bevel is and I already put a hot pass in it's a little bit kind of rough looking
as I'm running only 170 it'll be nice if it's uh as I said 200 it'll be a little
bit uh better looking but it doesn't matter it doesn't have to look you're beautiful
okay uh this side is done pretty much now we're
gonna switch on the other side start out the bottom
this is now good for the cap as you can see this is 10 inch setup on the pipe stance
it'll be nice to roll it but I like your position okay I'm gonna strike strike an arc and I'll just
go a little bit back just to feel that it's a little bit uneven it's not a really uh old way
flash with the with the pipe so we're gonna do a little build up here and then just continue on
okay no um the most important thing here is uh just uh paying closer you gotta watch that puddle
how how it behaves uh you gotta watch and the middle and the sides and the bottom and the top
you gotta kind of do inclination with your tungsten with your torch adding wire same time
following that the reason why I'm following you is because you you want the same deposit
all the way and you want to have the same you want to feel to flash and that's the whole idea
the whole idea is uh just to fill that uh pipe in one pass with failed to flash and then you
got another pass and it's going to be only cap otherwise you'll have to do probably two three
passes here depends from your level of your experience and as I said unfortunately didn't
make it even on 170 uh just the way how I'm running stuff equipment I was like to go to the
max as as I said before that's the bad equipment I got it'll be nice to have a water cooled torch
they'll be a little bit different different game but even with this it's uh it's a good thing
you know with all that stuff with all the equipment you're gonna be kind of artists as well
as I said that this is done filter flash now we're going to do a cap we're on buffing wheel clean
so we don't have any impurities especially when it's hot like that you want to wait
to cool down a little bit so this carpet if I go with the cup with a cup size eight uh it's
not going to be really nice as you see we got a new kind of big side to side motion
that's why I'm going to switch to cupside 10. for Tungsten stick out five to ten mil
and then with with a bigger cup it's easier you know it's a different story then you can easy go
with that paddle side to side you know you can you can control that better you get a better better
control you can do with the bottom side of the cap or with the top side so depends what you like
I like to do that on the bottom part like with the top side of the cup bottom part
bottom section of the pipe and then later I just switch on a normal not normal position
okay for the for the cap just to preheat that spot and once it's
uh when it's material start melting then you just add rod and start stretching that puddle
I like to keep that rod in the middle
stretch stretch it puzzle side to side try to maintain straight edges on the both sides
and just the push rod is needed you want to you want to maintain the the same uniform build up
of your cap
try to keep tanks the ball with sharp
uh there is a there was a couple questions uh on the short I published before
um the reason uh the only reason why I'm doing this is uh I want to speed up the process that
I want to go around the pipe three four times and is it gonna pass x-ray one of the questions well
I don't know if if you noticed in my videos so far uh I've been doing this for 20 years
working in refineries well not only refiner is working from power plants refineries everywhere
I'm all over the place work in Europe and uh in Canada right now I got over I don't know
how many thousands of fives welded and the whole idea of this video and the YouTube channel is to
share with you guys my knowledge and my experience for free so you can be better TIG welder one day
and that's it pretty much okay cap is done on this side
and now I'm gonna just do on the other side same thing
this is the stop starts the only reason why it looks uh that stop
start you can see it is just because that torch
so guys always try to learn something new uh something different something you never tried
before raise your standards you know always try to compete but don't compete with other welders
compete with yourself try to be a better welder than your than what you were last month or year
before that's uh that's the only thing that's going to push you forward that's what pushing
me forward I'm always competing with myself with myself I'm always trying to be better
and that's it pretty much that's what keeps me going on uh welding can be really boring
ungrateful as well so try to do your best try to learn especially when
someone is willing to teach you and you must be willing to learn
okay guys uh so for the cap is uh it's not a science fiction everybody likes to do capping
keep your text in all the sharp stretch that pilot maintain straight edge on the both sides
around that's the whole idea of the capping
you have nice and beautiful it's a cherry on the top or any pipe it doesn't matter
if it's gas line if it's fire line if it's uh whatever always do your best you know
always do your best that's your signature every welder got his own signature and that's his weld
keep that in mind okay that's it for this video guys I hope you like it enjoy it feel free to
comment as always I'll answer as much as I can and thanks for watching see you in the next one bye
