Tell me what you think.
100%argon gas 316stainless steel, 1.5 OD tube.







Heres a crappy picture of the ID

What are you plans for the futurs? Build headers? Turbo manis? DPs? ...etc.

 

Good work brian

 

Future is far away.

I've thought about after finishing school and go on from there.

I have not really thought too much about making stuff for our cars, business-wise anyway. Mainly just trying to maybe find a job or make some money welding and see if its my thing.


But if your looking for manifolds or downpipes for whatever, Nutzurchin is an awesome welder thats already in the field, making some mean manifolds.

 

supremacy lab on the come up huh brian

 

Those are some really sweet welds.

 

are you a robot?

That is nice.... :Drooling:

 

I'm a certified boeing orbital welder using 2" OD titanium at .028 hell I don't know, I just pressed a button and made a cool fusion weld, ****'s complicating I tell you.. jk.. aha

Titanium welds so nice..

But yeah its crumb pie once you got the weld schedule and tweaks all setup.

 

sweet! good **** man!

 

if you honestly want to know what I think....(after having been doing shitty MIG welds for 3 hrs)

[thinking]
holy shoit...thats magic, right? HTF did he do that?
[/thinking]

 

What machine?

Liburdi?

 

AMI 207HP with a 9-2500 head.

 

Those are some clean fuggin welds

 

WTHs a orbital welder? Those both fusion welds, just diff heats? Do you use any filler in orbital welding? I've never heard of it...

The AMI machine I have used will add filler metal. Did that head have the capability and you didn't use it?

Another thing that works well: use 95% Argon/ 5% Hydrogen gas on the outside, but still purge with Argon. This will let you get the same penetration and width of root, but have a narrower bead outside. In other words, with it having a wider root, it greatly decreases the chance of the weld missing the seam on the inside.

 

Just some FYI....

Some welding specifications, such as BPE (BioProcessing Equipment), will require that you run a test piece at the beginning of each shift and if you stop welding for any period longer than 30 minutes during the day and when there's any change in size of tubing. In other words, depending on the code you're welding to, you may have to run several test coupons a day.

I won't say I agree with the 30 minute thing, but it makes sense to do a test run for each shift and tube size...to make sure you don't mess up a good part.

Right, Thanks for the tips.

95/5 cost a bundle, but when I do get the chance, I'll def try 95/5 outside and 100 purge.

Do you remember which AMI machine you use? I dont recall beging taught that the 8 or 9-series head will add filler metal. Though I know certain machines do, like some machines they use to weld 2'' ID pipes and some others.

 

I don't remember which weld head it was that I used. It worked great, and would do everything....except for what the company had bought it to do. they wanted to be able to weld sch 40, 254SMO material with one pass....and no bevel. I told them after a few days of experimenting that it wasn't going to do it. After about 3 weeks, they pulled me off the machine and set it in a corner. Now, it's over a year later and the machine is still sitting. $70k spent, and it's never even seen production welding.

This had me laughing for a bit.
