wrist pain from tig welding
Im tig welding alot at work, but im starting to feel sore in my wrists from walking the cup all day. How do you guys avoid this? Should I buy glucosamine and chondroitin? Does this happen to any body else?

Re: 2" socket welds
Joint configuration? Its a socket weld. Do you put 2 passes of 1/8 or 2 passes of 1/8 and a 3/32?

2" socket welds
Im about to start tig welding two inch sockets at work. Er70s2 wire. What kind of set up do you guys run to make sure theres no concavity and im filling the socket up properly. A qc will inspect them with a gage. Schedule 80 pipe.

Re: 2" schedule 10 stainless steel pipe
With this one I ran the root with 3/32 gap and rod,heat at 60. Cap was 55 with 3/32 rod. I still burned through in some spots though. I tried the 1/8 rod at 75 like you said but burned through big time. After the root I let it cool to the touch and after each stringer I let it cool to the touch. But...

Re: 2" schedule 10 stainless steel pipe
Ok that sounds good. Yea its very thin so fusion would make sense. Do you recommend using a 3/32 filler wire when fusing it or doing it autogenously? Also what heat do you run your cap at? Sometimes I have problems reconsuming the root on my cap. Do you run your cap slow and cold or hot and fast?

Re: 2" schedule 10 stainless steel pipe
How are you putting in the root without a gap and your heat at 55. Are you putting alot of pressure on the wire? Seems like you wouldnt get enough penetration.

2" schedule 10 stainless steel pipe
Im tig welding 2" schedule 10 stainless steel pipe. I was wondering what you guys would recommend running this at. Tungsten size, gap size, filler wire size, heat. Ive seen some use laywire techniques and some use dip techniques. What would you recommend? Thanks for your time.

Ill look inside the pipe and see the same blister looking circles on the root. I didnt get what u were saying on that la...

stainless root ,small circles from refloating.
Sometimes when tig welding stainless I get these small circles in the middle of the root from refloating the metal. Any suggestions on how to stop this problem? ![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)

Re: filler wire balling up
Thanks, I'll try and turn up the argon. I tried turning it down a bit recently because I was afraid of pulling in oxygen, however I may have turned it down too much. Here is a picture of what I'm working on. This is a 1/8 rod on the cap which has never given me problems but when i tried 3/32 I kept ...
