Re: My first collector
 

i could show you a full pen butt weld, but i don't backpurge, no need unless it is really a expensive peice.

idk about you but you should me 1 place that does 3 passes? go on find picks to back up your retarded statments.

or even a place that caps there welds? rternie? pulsing?

i understand you weld for a living, but cut the speach. you know you can't tell ---- from most of the pics posted by places, as there camera's suck. you should know you can make a ---- weld look good and vise versa with lighting and camera work. pretty simple.

Re: My first collector
 

I dont understand some of what you are asking (I don't do pre-noon on Sunday's either man)
Do you mean a cap pass, or do you mean cap the pipes so you can get a good purge to support the weld? If the last pass is atleast level in height to the base metal, and prefferably slightly above to add reinforcement then the weld does not need a cap pass (or that pass is the cap pass)
You can full-pen the butt weld Props. I simply want people to GET to full pen - Full pen isn't dabbling the back side of the weld. It's having that weld bead on the INSIDE of the pipe. If you're doing lay-wire. There will literally be a solid bead on the inside. If you're dipping, you'll have your dips show up slightly past the backside of the weld. Looks alot like when you stick weld with a 6010 rod.
What's rterniea?
Pulsing lowers the skill level by lowering the average heat output while giving the user a blast of heat to help the fusion and grain structure. Makes raising the travel speed higher easier too. Alot of guys pulse. Alot of guys do it manually? Few guys in this forum have done it on & off and posted about doing it. Even H-too-the-butt-sex has posted some pulsing stuff. Not sure what you're getting at with the pulsing???



Aight, Ill shoot you a PM about washing the welds back down when I get a chance. Lot of ---- to sift through on that subject.

nice so far

wow that thing looks amazing
