TIG Welding 300+ AMPS 

Luke Sukunda they are probably praying that the fit up is perfect so they can amaze and blaze 🤣

I am a brother in the Lord Freddy! Any advice on the best way to get into this field? I have TIG welding certs but never tested on pipe before

Joseph Gonzales ,hello brother, getting into Pipe will have to be your top priority. The reason why am saying this is once you start welding pipe you will never want to go back, and that is where all the money is at. Getting hold of a school like ,South Coast Welding, or Alabama Pipe Welder’s.

I go to cerritos college in southern California. I'll look into those schools, sir. Thank you for tip! God bless you.

Freddy Rasheed praying makes no difference you might as well pray to the Flying Spaghetti Monster nobody is going to guide your hands but you

@@solobusiness4320 your epistemic basis for truth is circular therefore invalid.

Cup walking ? lol

Robert Hubbard but you know damn well these guys aren’t going through the test shop with this bullshit! No way

@@jasondetreich8331 no way. And most of the comments on here must be armatures. This is neither pretty nor efficient. Just dumb

Outstanding

I went to a competition in Missouri and they prayed before the competing started

Fuck you

Beautiful! 🙏😇

With mr. Paul the free agent as said in video , misspelled his last name

What does the inside look like? I bet it's all sucked back

those were not professional sorry just saying

they have one

Cause it looked like shit freehand the hot pass like they did and your bound to get nice suck back and knots on the inside.. I would of just walked the cup

Daniel Rios walking the cup is for mouth breathers and wtf type of knots are you talking about?

Free the bottom to dead man's then walk it. Freehanding is just dumb all the way out

@@cumminsbayou lmfao mouth breathers aint heard that yet but i know what your talking about im talk so much shit to the new guys on the jobsite now lmfao thanks bro.

because its hanging like tom cats balls

On another note. Where are some pictures of these 185 amp roots?

Heavy pipe, thick filler wire. Maybe a Nice heavy land, al factors that could cool te puddle down just enough to get a nice root

its just that type of "welding video" where 4 guys are pouring in roots at 2x amps and purposely don't show the profile. sounds about right for a tig torch advertisement

@@giuliogiulio1 couldn't agree more. The beads look poor. Travel speed way too slow and I would love to see the WPS these "coded guys" are working to. Amatures

devonsk8s4 cavenders

They are fr shirts made by ariat if you don’t know your either not western not from Texas or not making any money

robert hernandez they dont walk the cup because at them apps the cup slips

I’ll take your word for it cause I’ve never tried it lol

I think some codes don't allow walking the cup due to scratch marks. I may be wrong, please let me know. Thanks, PB

Paul Brown yes sr that too

Only time scratching would matter would be capping...roots and fills u could walk the cup....

Probably cause you a mullet

Cause youre a mullet

We’ve always used sycrowave miller’s with cooling systems and foot pedals and I run all my fillers around 280 some guys take 3 times as long to make a weld as me because they want the pretty colors it all about production for me

I like to run a heavy 1/8 gap..no more than 110-115 amps for the root and about 150-160 for the hot pass.

@@jamesbrandon8520 running too hot can have wide HAZ zone causing the apparent material to become brittle.

heck yes

It dont say but i garuntee its 1/8 tungsten 1/8 wire for the root 3/32 wire for the fill and cap

Heavy hitters is the brand of the tig rigs

L 23 stick is for birds...a code plant Heli arc hand is a prime welder two on top is them and a pipeliner...downhill hand everyone else ain’t getting money

Yea I seen some off those welders on alkys there don’t even let them weld

never say never. all ya gotta do is go for it

You have no idea what you’re talking about.

Because they’d still be filling it if they were walking the cup.

Code Talker basically like slag or trash in your bead. Or fillers. Means your burning out your trash

Lamellar Tare is what it sounds like but I could be wrong

Probably a gold coated lense?

Gotta brace yourself

Practice practice practice brother 🤙🏼🔥

Rest the cup on the pipe and glide it while free handing so you’re not burning your fingers up. I like to free hand and once the pipe gets hot that’s what I usually do

The video was more based upon the 150amp tig rig running high amps and not burning up. Trust me I've burnt plenty 150's up welding on some heavy wall.

Another good tip for free handing a weld like this without propping your hand on the pipe, make sure you keep your elbow tucked tight in your side. It keeps the shaking down on your rig han.

Yea because they had to much suck back. Just because a torch can handle that high amperage doesn’t mean you go full throttle. Granite there beautiful welds but what’s the X-ray say 🤔

Nah because 185 amp root is nothing they want to show. You can act like that and go 300 amp wide open, but after you put a nice root and hot pass

@@terrigfy60thatguy28 you know what g-40 welder means right? Guaranteed 40 hour checks even when they’re not working. An incentive to keep them from jumping ship to another company. You think they got to that position by busting welds?

Haven't been over 300 on my 355 yet. Not sure my torch will handle it... Guess there's one way to find out...

Heavy wall pipe will make you wish you had more! It's sooo much easier welding thick pipe with loads of amps!

@@vincentboucher2547 And you know? There are 3/16" and 1/4" electrodes out there, and WP-12 torches to hold them.... Someone must be doing this. There are some big power supplies out there... some that can be run in parallel. Long before I ever was interested in welding, I worked in a lab that had a Miller power supply the size of a small car, or maybe three or four refrigerators pushed together. I think 1000 Amps at 100 per cent duty cycle! We didn't have any idea of welding at all, much less 300 amp TIG torches, which I really regret, now!

Been tig welding for almost 20 years and maybe gone over 300 amps once or twice..its over kill unless you're doing some super thick heavy stuff.

Would you buy another one

@@brandonhernandez9260 to be honest i wouldn't. What I did I bought me a weld craft 2 piece red head torch and put it on the 2 piece cable from the heavy hitter.

jeronimo ortega im looking into buying a new torch. Which do you recommend

@@brandonhernandez9260 Weldcraft 366-WP-R26FV Style 26 Red Flex Torchwith Valve Body - R26 For 20 with 2 piece cables I turned mine up to 400amps

jeronimo ortega so did you only buy the head? I checked it out its like $120-$140.

Jason Detreich .....questionable on the vertical,specially on the bottom of the pipe,best they can do is flush?but most likely it's a sucked back.....on the horizontal though,hmmmmm....you gotta have a land on the prep for sure maybe a 1/16 or 3/32 ?? did they mention how much gap they have? Or I just miss it? I think it's doable with these parameter...3/32 land 3/32 gap and 1/8 filler metal and no torch angle so you gotta weld it free hand it also means that your travel speed is faster than normal and you gotta keep that pressure on the filler metal.....if there's undercut on the first try...I'll adjust it on the land the next try

I was wonder about what the root pass look like but I’m sure the bottom half of the vertical weld has some serious suck back and top side might be ok. I tried this on a position weld in the rack I ran a tight 3/32 gap at about 160 and pointed the tungsten straight into the bevel and it came out with some really bad suck back. So I had to cut it out n open up the bevel the to about 5/32. I really wanted to see these guys root pass on the vertical coupon.

@@kabihog5789 these guys were putting in the root way slow. So what is the point? Double the amps and a slower ugly root

Suck back buddy suck back that’s what they didn’t show the roots on any of them.
