TIP TIG welding is 100 to 500% faster than TIG with superior quality than traditional TIG - Pulsed MIG - FCAW

TIG - TIP TIG Weld Comparison Videos. Continued Page 4

TIP TIG PROVIDES LESS WELD HEAT AND BETTER WELD QUALITY THAN TIG
AND PROVIDES THOSE WELDS AT MIG WIRE FEED RATES.

Play these two videos together. Examine the weld times. Look at the weld
lengths & quality achieved. Think about the associated weld cost savings.

IF VIDEOS STALL REPLAY TWICE, BETTER SECOND TIME.

REGULAR TIG.

TIP TIG PIPE HORIZONTAL.

For all position pipe applications, many of you will use TIG / STICK / STT / RMD for the root, followed by Flux Cored, STICK, Pulsed MIG or TIG for the fill passes. The pipe job is often made complex with multi-procedures and equipment. Consider TIP TIG for the root and fill passes. With this simple to use process, life and procedures is less complex and your weld quality will be at levels never before attained.

FIRST TIME TIP TIG USER. EXAMINE HOW ROBUST THAT TIP TIG ROOT IS AND LOOK AT THE WELD UNIFORMITY AND CONTINUITY. WHICH OF THESE TWO WELDERS LOOKS THE MOST COMFORTABLE AND YOU KNOW WHO WILL HAVE THE LEAST WELD REWORK AND BE THE MOST PRODUCTIVE?

Manual or Automated, TIP TIG welds that will not require weld rework.

Its easy to high deposition automated TIG welds with the TIP TIG process.
Any alloy, attain consistent weld fusion minimal porosity, no
spatter, no slag, no grinding and no weld fume concerns.

SMAW (STICK) TIP TIG

FOR A 100 HUNDRED YEARS, IT'S BEEN LIKE THIS, STICK WELD, SMOKE, SPATTER, SLAG ISSUES, WELDS THAT DONT LOOK THAT GREAT, ALWAYS WELD REWORK AND ALWAYS POOR PRODUCTIVITY. WITH LESS EFFORT ONE TIP TIG WELDER WIILL EASILY OUT PERFORM TWO SMAW WELDERS AND THE TIP TIG WELDS WILL BE DEFECT FREE. PLAY BOTH VIDEOS AT THE SAME TIME,

WELD INTEGRITY STARTS WITH THE WELD PROCESS CHOICE.

HOW LOGICAL IS IT IN 2010 TO USE SMAW OR PULSED MIG TO ATTAIN CODE QUALITY WELDS?

SMAW TIP TIG

FOR MANY SMAW (STICK) WELDERS, A CRITICAL TOOL IS THE GRINDER - GRINDER - GRINDER - GRINDER - GRINDER. BOTH WELDING THE ROOT BOTH USING ONE HAND WHICH PROCESS WOULD YOU PREFER TO USE FOR YOUR CODE QUALITY WELDS?

A BASIC WELD FACT. IT TYPICALLY TAKES TWO TO FOUR TIG
& SMAW WELDERS TO DO THE WORK OF ONE TIP TIG WELDER.

REGULAR TIG VERSUS TIP TIG WELD DEPOSITION DIFFERENCES.

This table represents the most common all position steels and alloy steel applications.

[1] Pipe Root
Regular Manual TIG
wire feed rate.

10 inch/min

(70 inch/min)

Manual TIP TIG
wire feed rate increase.

25 - 50%

[2] Pipe Fill

(70 inch/min)

100 - 200%

[5] 3/16 Fillet

[6] 1/4 Fillet

10 inch/min

(70 inch/min)

200 to 400%

Note: Red is conversion from 3/32 2.4 mm wire to 0.035 0.9 mm wire.
5G pipe weld figures are real world. You will have some TIG welders that will
deposit slightly more weld wire and there will be TIP TIG welders that
can provide higher wire feed rates. TIP TIG rates will increase with automation.
