- TIG welding 12" stainless steel 304 pipe, sch.10, root, cap, and set up with this comprehensive guide. From TIG welder setup to executing perfect ROOT passes and finishing with a flawless cap weld. This typically requires a back purge of argon gas to help prevent oxidation on the back side of the weld. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned welder, this video covers everything I'll break down the entire process, providing tips and techniques to ensure strong, clean welds every time.
In this video, you'll discover:
Essential tools and equipment for TIG welding stainless steel
Detailed step-by-step setup instructions
Techniques for achieving a smooth ROOT pass
Tips for maintaining consistent heat control and filler metal application
How to cap weld for a professional finish

I waiting for your video, thanks
Hope you enjoyed it!
Awesome 🤩
Babe wake up x3m tig post a a new video
i use your techniques everyday! thank you for posting.
You’re my favorite welder on RUclips. I pull out all your little tricks in the field and I’ve had 55 year old welders ask me where I learned that stuff 😂😂 you have shown me how to refine the craft in a very short amount of time!! You’re awesome !!
That is awesome!👍💪
Excellent work and always inspiring. Thanks for posting.
Many thanks!
Just want to say thank you for the videos, great advice and depth of knowledge, nothing can be more true about needing to burn to learn, use it or loose it - from a fitter wanting to upskill to welding
Thank you brother💪
You’re a bad ass brother !! Going for my first weld cert next week ua-15 wish me luck big dog 🤙
Thanks brother, and good luck
Clean 💪 I’ve never been a big fan of stainless, it’s a fun metal but very low on my list. Great video brother! Glad you got some welding going on
Thank you my friend, I hope I’ll have more welding, and create some good content 👍💪
Leaving the rod in the puddle makes a lot of sense. Never thought of that.
Yes it does
Some real skill here. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Love your Videos Big Brother, can you make video showing How you weld Big pipe in a 5 clock position
Great idea
Fantastic video--I think you're making the best TIG content on RUclips right now. I teach welding at a college and I learn something, or find a better way to explain something to the students every time I watch your videos.
Thanks buddy, happy to hear that 💪
Really good as always! I started out as a fitter too, now I do both. Love seeing welders appreciate a good pipefitter which is quite uncommon these days.
Your welding is on point as usual too, as the saying goes; a good welder deserves a good fitter, a bad one needs a good fitter...
Thanks brother, I’ll try to remember that quote, lol 💯👍
Trust me, welders appreciate good fitters!
I was unsure what kind of welding I wanted to do after welding school. After watching your videos, I realized I wanted to TIG weld pipe. These videos are clearly explained and well filmed, and I can see the expertise you possess.
Thanks for your comment 👍
Mesmerizing
Greetings from Brazil. I’m always learning a lot with your videos and experience. Thanks a lot to pass your knowledge to us. Please, upload more videos.
I would like to request a video showing how to walk the cup perfectly. I’m having some difficulties to perform this skill. Always losing the path going on zigzagging. 😞😞😞😞
And also having a lot of lack of fusion overhead and over penetration between the 3 to 12 and 9 to 12 o’clock.
I will really appreciate it.
Thanks a lot again and always be safe.
🇧🇷❤
Thanks brother, I’ll put it on my list 👍
Always learn from you man!! I appreciate your videos and guidance
Glad to hear it!👍
I’ve been welding sch. 10 316 for the last year now. We usually butt weld every pipe. But biggest we go is 6 inches and everything is done in an automatic rotator. I see you rotate the pipe with your filler hand. You’re not worried about putting the oxidized wire back into the root? Great video though. Love the arc shots.
Thanks for your comment bud, oxidized tip of my filler rod is so minimal and doesn’t create any problems! Good catch though 👍
Been welding 316L many years but never have I realised that you can up your purch flow to prevent sagging on top. Good stuff!
nice sir, im tryin this year to get this kind of job and be the best around.
Best of luck!
Hr legenda.
I don't know how to do walk the cup. Is the head of your torch flexible or locked in place on the one you use for walk the cup? When I try walk the cup technique the flexibility in the head of my torch screws it up for me.
I use flex head, and you need better torch
@@KrogunDK if you’re using a CK Worldwide head they are notorious for flexing to much. I’d go with profax, that’s what I’ve been using lately and it makes a hell of a difference man. You need something stiff enough to handle the position you put it in. It’s a lil pricey but worth it in the long run.
Those are beautiful, well done
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice
oh the irony of getting a Harris campaign ad in the middle of pipe welding video 😂
Lol,that is irony!
I'm new to welding. What does it mean when your purging? I see you cover up everything and hook up a hose with some kind of gas? What gas is this?
Argon, same as feeding the torch.
@@dougtenney1029 trapping so much argon isn't this dangerous and really flammable?
@@Rubo7 Nooo. Argon is inert, like helium but way less expensive.
Argon is an inert gas, meaning it does not react chemically with the metals being welded. This property helps prevent oxidation and contamination of the weld area, which is crucial for producing high-quality welds. Mostly used on stainless steel piping
@@X3MTIG so what would you do if you weld 1/4"-3/8" aluminum?
is this field or shop ?
Shop in the field
What shade lens do you use?
The cheapest one they have in tool crib, shade 11
Are you I local 488 ?
Yes
@@X3MTIG right on . I’ve followed you for a while and seen you tested at the hall on a previous video . I’ve been a 488 member since 2005 . Love your content . Awesome welder and happy for all your success brother !
A vasão de gás ?
Bom dia, meu amigo.
Pergunta pra ele em inglês.
Mas é “vazão” com z
Pq se ele for traduzir pode traduzir como um caso muito grande e não velocidade do fluxo de gás.
Força guerreiro.
TMJ 💪🏼🇧🇷😎
