Tig Welding Pipe 6g Certification Test Techniques

http://www.weldingtipsandtricks.com/tig-welding-certification-tips.html

Technique for Tig Welding pipe in 6g position using a Tig Finger heat shield and slightly different technique for the Root pass.
Welders from all over the world tell me how much they like the Tig Finger.

Does it not get hot around your other fingers though? Yesterday as I welding (I have no tig finger yet) My finger was a centimeter or so from the weld and my glove still ended up smoking after a long weld. Will the same not happen to fingers that don't have a heat shield on them when they are that close?

@roro560v8 cast iron is very very hard to weld and most guys wont weld it i might look at your other options before you tried to weld it, but then again if its just a small crack it wouldnt be to hard i guess to weld but it looks like shit and doesnt hold good

Need advice please, got crack on my Exhaust manifold (cast iron) Ford taures about 6IN, do you recommend to weld it in stead of replace it , and how much it will cost(approximately) if took it to shop to weld it...Thanks in Advance

@stillbashingmetal okay, instead of upside down, its called overhead position. the metal CAN run downhill, if you are welding and form too much buildup of puddle, the puddle state is a point of molten steel, but within milimeters is formed into different semi solid states, called the Heat affected zone.

@stillbashingmetal without knowing the science, metal kinda has a surface tension like water. When in liquid form it will kinda jump to other metal that's around the same state (temperate). You can burn rod all day, but if the base metal isn't being heating to the same temperature it won't stick. It's also cooling rapidly, from 70F to over 1000F back to 70F. That's like trying to melt ice when its 930 degrees below freezing(its an analogy don't correct me people).

It can, and it does run downhill/drip sometimes, it usually means that your heat settings are too high.

I just watched this again. I'm not a welder, but I'm still interested. Ok, here comes the newbie dumb question: When you weld efffectively 'upside down', how come the molten weld metal doesn't run downhill, if you know what I mean? OK, stop laughing, now. Helpful and knowledgable answers appreciated. Thanks.

You make welding look so easy....but I know it isn't! Great videos, I learn something new all the time, thanks for taking the time and trouble to post.

@weldingtipsandtricks what was ur amperage set at while u were doing the root pass?
