New Pipe welding pics
 

After 2 years of Tig welding pipe I am finally happy with my work

From now on expect all pipe manifolds to have welds like this ;)

ps. Yes this picture is just to brag a little because no other turbo manifold company puts out gold like this ;)

Looks a little undercut to me!!

J/K. Happy? I'd be Extatic about those welds. Good job man. If I didn't build my own manifolds, you'd be on the top of my list!

All I can see is about 1/2" of weld.

Re: New Pipe welding pics
 

this weld wasnt purged but I can reproduce it with ease on a full purge weld no problem, this weld was prepped with aprox 30 degree bevel, with no land left,weld was done in 3 passes:
fusion root weld 1st pass
80 amps filler weld to bring the weld level at the top
80 amps bead cap with filler to give it the extra umff
