random work pics & ---- ***updated june 17/08***
so, i'm working as a QC/QA at a chemical plant, there's not much going on so i am playing welder/welders helper. basically hangin out in the shop doing ---- all.
they have this ---- called Alloy 20, a 4" sch40 pipe is worth $1000/foot.
i'd say this is about $600 worth of pipe that i fucked up.
it's kinda different to weld too, sorta like stainless but different.
my hot pass, looks good ya? turned out not too bad.
trying to do a fill/cap in one pass. ya i burned the ---- out of it, hahahaha.
it was sugared to ---- inside, i didn't bother hooking up the purge lines, maybe on monday i'll do a root and purge it.

Just be like, "well look on the bright side guys. Atleast it looks better then if it was fluxcored. Think positive!" lol

its incredibly resistant to corrosion.
its a "super stainless" steel
we're putting it in a process section of the plant that handles a chemical that is incredibly reactive, flammable when contact with air, and explosive when contact water.
