TIG Welding Root Pass | TIG Techniques For an X-Ray Pass !

- TIG welding root pass, and tig techniques for x_ray quality. The TIG method of welding produces a clean homogeneous weld which when radiographed is easily interpreted. A good welder who can produce quality X-ray welds is an X-ray welder. X-ray welder is a tradesman who consistently welds at such a high proficiency that he rarely introduces defects into the weld pool, and is able to recognize and correct defects in the weld pool, during the welding process. This video is about the combination of the constant feed technique, and dipping technique on the root during tig welding. TIG welding technique used will depend on the thickness of the pipe, gap size, and position. On a thin wall pipe, you can either free-hand or walking the cup. This is because you will have a shallow bevel that you can walk on with the cup. If it is a heavy wall pipe you will want a cup size that is small enough to fit between the groves and slide easily. The video gives viewers good insights into placing excellent and solid root passes. You will get to learn about different technical paths that you can explore. With the appropriate training and practice on the operator's part, learning to place the root can become an invaluable skill!

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!
keyhole never fails…….NEVER
i’m taking a 6gr and i’ve busted 2 already and idk what i’m doing wrong
@@Smurf51766 what did they tell you the reasons were?
@@sethhoward9300 they showed the x-ray i had two tungsten holes and one porosity but it looked more of the cap for porosity. and the cap wait 10718 i beleive i was just running too hot
@@sethhoward9300 but the weld has to be 100% inside of a cage and the lift arc doesn’t work right and i stick a lot and that’s what i’m fighting and tapping the tungsten with my rod rarely works and if it does it goes away immediately
The best tig channel for me!!! Perfect explanations without any unnecessary words and making it more complicated!!
Wow, thanks!🙏

It took me 6-7 years of tig welding to learn enough to pass my first x-ray. I wish I would have seen this video before I started trying to test. Very well explained.
Thank you 👍
Omg. 6 yrs to pass an xray???!!!! WHATTTTT !!!! 1/2 hr!!!
In this business you have to tig in the refineries you have to become combination plain and simple, practice and more practice 🌀🙏
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 🤙🏼
Thanks man!!😎
👏👏👏 great tips!! I'm a noob and I depend on watching videos when I have questions! I appreciate it!!
Happy to help!
❤❤❤❤ 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 RUclips 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❤
Very happy to hear that brother 💪👊 keep up the good work!
In dept, the most important stuff to pay attention when welding for X-Ray.
On point as always. Excelent shoots of dferent technics after 6:20. Thanks for sharing valuable knovledge with understanding.
🙏
Thank you my friend 👍
You are one of the best welder I have ever seen, on YT surely, I will never thanks you enough for your teaching, tank you bro stay safe out there
You are very welcome 👍
Im usually wielding stainless. Your videos helps me when I have to work with carbon.
Glad to hear it
Beautiful arc shots and amazingly lectured!!✊🏽
Much appreciated!

I’m Mig only at the moment, but very interesting and informative and with great arc shots. Thank you.🇬🇧
Glad you enjoyed it
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🌀🙏
Thanks for to give dip technique
Thanks for the tip
Great advice
❤Me encantó el video ❤ yo actualmente sueldo con electrodo..
Pero quiero aprender tig..
This is awesome. Thanks
Sim mestre uma bela apresentação de passe de raíz e reforço obrigado pela orientação 🙏
Thanks brother 👍
Good job that's a BIG root opening. I like a smaller root less chance of suck back. Good job my friend
That was some good instructions.
I'm watching from Philippines,!.😊👍🙏👏👍👍
Thank you for information the video my brother
Damn good show Damn good show!!!
Excelente explicación .. saludos desde Ibagué Colombia..
Thank you buddy, greetings to Colombia 👍😎
Well done very good teacher, bro👍
Nice job 💪
Top essa raiz,show
Fantastic!
Nice job, thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching!
Svaka čast kolega..respekt!
Hvala ti!
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
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.
Nice video, subscribed :)
Thanks for the sub!
Bro you saved me🙏
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 .
Good job
Yes sir 💯
Good video
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 RUclips
Sangat profesional sekali
Nice
Hello! Good job👍
Magnífico trabajo.Parece que los biseles terminan en filo sin talón. Cuanto espesor tiene el talón si es que lo tiene?. Gracias.
Feather edge or knife edge, no land on the bevel!
@@X3MTIG Muchas gracias desde España, ha sido usted muy amable.
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.
Nice ❤
Good from Indonesia👍
Definitely make that look easy. I know it's not
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?
Hola,saludos cuáles son las tolerancias....talón de la cañería,separación,diámetro del aporte y amperaje???....saludos
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.
How can you run at 124 amps with that travel speed ?!?! I would have issues of it blowing through and knife edge melt holes

Does anyone do pulled inserts any more I learned it in the navy have never done other for a qual ?!
Sir pls tell me how to stop the filler cut at the time of root extraction
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.
Where now I can go before you and improve my qualifications.
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.
HOW DO YOU MAKE A WELDING CAMERA FOR FILMING?
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.
Just for educational purposes.
Would if be safe for me to use Laser weld , as I have a Pacemaker.
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!
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?
At the bottom usually at 90 degrees. You feed rod parallel with the bevel just have to find the right angle.
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?
@@shawnramey614 correct 👍
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my question! I greatly appreciate it. I’ll keep practicing!
@@shawnramey614 you welcome bud 👍
Bonsoir, vous ne faites pas de talon ?
That tungsten is sharp as hell
What do you use?
Diamond wheel
You should also tell your standing and sitting arrangement
how much tig welder making per hour?
Keyhole the root pass and ride the wire on the hotpass/filler. Slow roll your cap. Y'all stay safe and keep welding!
Was this schd 80 or schd 40? Sorry if i missed it
80
hey bro can you do a combo GTAW & SMAW (7018) 6g position
When and if I get chance!

Two times max, and if you failed again it’s a cutout.

Do you prefer knife edges?
Yes I do!

Hello
Are you using a pedal here?
No pedal
@@X3MTIG ok thanks for the response:) I have an arc test with BAE soon which I don’t think I’ll pass. I wish it was TIG but which I’m confident in
But aren’t you supposed not to burn it ?
Tony Beets can weld.

Please add Polish translate 🙂👌
Разве такой зазор нужен?
Vraiment, c’est dommage que ça parle pas français ou traduction française
It should be there, I added it!
"Constant feed on the bottom and dipping technique from 9 o'clock to the top you're not gonna fail any X-ray". I'm pretty sure, I would fail every X-ray if I would get one done on my welds...
Nothing on the bench impresses me anymore. Do this, upside down, 30+ ft in the air on an ammonia line.... then show me something.
Agreed, but check my other videos first before commenting something like that 👍
@X3MTIG you are an amazing welder. Thank you for the content.
Can i reaction your videos and i upload in my RUclips cancel?
Nice
Thanks👍
