TIGGING mild steel, 3F, t-joint...a few questions
Posted: Mon Dec 06, 2010 10:49 pm
So I'm going to take a test in a couple of days, tigging 1/8" thick mild steel, t joint, vertical. I have been using 3/32 tungsten and same size filler for 2F(horizontal tee), @ 93A, DCEN, with foot pedal. I have been walking the cup with 2F position tee joint. My questions are:
Should I use different amp setting, different size filler rod, or different size tungsten when tigging a tee in 3F position? Also should I freehand in this position, or try walking the cup? (I have walked the cup before in this position, but it has been about a year since then, and I can't remember much about the required technique anymore).
I will be able to practice for a cumulative 8 hours before taking the test, starting tomorrow evening.
Thanks for your input.
