Bevel angle for groove welds
30 - 37.5 degrees
Included angle for groove welds
60- 75 degrees
At what thickness on a groove weld do you prepare a land?
How big is it?
-4.8 mm or 3/16
- 1.6 mm or 1/16
Tacks should be?
1/4 to 3/8 ( no longer than the thickness of the material)
Why do you tack the ends from the back side
To ensure full fusion
How far is the stick out of the tungsten?
2x the electrode diameter
In the dip technique the filler rod is added ?
At the leading edge of the puddle
Fall through def
A localized area of excessive penetration
To reduce crater cracking when using tig
Use a tailing out procedure
Possible causes of suck back?
- current to high
-travel speed too slow
-excessive arc length - failure to add filler rod deep enough into the back side
How do they usually do a stainless pipe tig test
Due to cost it is usually mild steel with a stainless filler rod
Argon back purge flow rate
-2.8-4.5 l/min for 2 to 3 minutes
-1.4 l/min until 2nd layer is complete
What is the 6g position
Done on a 45 degree axis with no rotation during welding
Why would you blank the bottom of the joint during 6 g?
Prevents an updraft drawing air through the pipe causing contamination
