How to Weld a 6G TIG Root Hot Pass 7018 Fill and Cap 

My instructor tells me to chicken wing your elbow as you’re coming up the side and especially going up over the top. You gotta get your elbow up in the air so you can keep your rod angled properly. Also angle your rod pointing down in the stinger helps too. Once I figured that out I started getting some nice fill passes. You basically always want to keep your weld pool trailing just behind with that oval or circular shape. If you don’t see that shape then you know you’re probably not angling the rod properly. I always like to do some dry runs so I can watch how my arms and rod are positioned before I strike my arc that way when I’m welding I just think about how my arms were positioned when I was doing my dry run. This helps me personally. Before I would “get lost” as I’m welding. Once I strike the arc and it goes dark I start to lose my spacial awareness it seems. So by practicing it beforehand while the lights are still on helps me to visualize where I’m at on the pipe when everything is dark. Since using this method I’m starting to be more confident which shows in the quality of my welds.

Thank you for the knowledge. Sending you Positive vibes from Orlando

How do I get more build up on the inside of the pipe for root pass? What amps are you at for root?

Good videos

Makes it look so fuckin easy lol

what wire size did you use for root and hot? thank you

Can the dude not run 7018?? Why not show him weld the Lohy??

What heat did you run your root pass at?

Why would I want you to show me how to run a root and hot pass only. We all know what the finish product should look like we are coming to you for the steps. I found no information in this video valuable it’s felt more like showing off mediocre welds and information that would be considered common sense to most welders.

If you ain’t back feeding you ain’t welding pipe

Domt do dope, kids
