Heres a few shots of some Super Duplex SCH160 1.5"DIA pipe ive been working on. The fabrication is a cooling coil for the Oil and Gas sector, I cant post the actual job but this is an extra joint that had to be cut out and i thought it was perfect to post here. Root - 70A Hot pass - 100A Fill - 105A Cap - 115A The WPS specifies an interpass temp of 60°C that must be adhered to. All welds on the job are 100% X-RAY, including DPI and a ferrite check before pickling and passivation.

First of all, I want to give a huge shoutout to @Grant Pratt for sending this out to me. Without him I wouldn’t have been able to experience this amazing material! Here was my set up, #16 cup, 3/32 thoriated tungsten(wouldn’t recommend, use lanthanated) 35 CFH. I think the filler was .45 I don’t know the exact type Grant sent them with the piping 🙏. Purged the inside with 3D printed plugs (10 cfh). Titanium is strange but easy and pleasant to weld with ( in my opinion), I honestly prefer it over SS. The arc and puddle were supper stable but very liquid. I noticed I needed to weld much slower then I would with SS to get proper penetration. Here are a couple of pictures of my welds. Once again I can’t thank Grant enough for this Thank you!

@Freddie Escobedo @Ken Pierick @Helmut Holm @Kishan Ramoutar @Dhaval Dedhia @Jorge Galindo Glad to have you here, please make an introduction post telling us what you’re interested in learning. Please include photos of your work or a question about what you want to do!

Here is my plan for the new year and I want YOU to do it with me! I’ve got over 250 people here in this group, 90% of you are either completely inactive or just popping in but not interacting. I understand for some of you this may just be a hobby but for those of you who want it to be a career, this is for you. If you’re serious about getting fabrication you need to act like it. If you want to be successful at it you have to make it a priority. See where you’re spending your time, that’s where your priorities are. So what are you telling the world? That you want to be a professional video gamer? A professional Netflix watcher? If I came and watched you for a day would I think you were serious about getting better at fabrication? If the answer is no that’s ok, we all start somewhere, but the time to start is now. In 2026 i’m going to drop my first how to weld course that will teach you how to become confident in welding steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. I’m going to share everything I know with you and do live Q&A calls to help you if you get stuck. I’m gonna put all my effort into helping you level up your skills but if you don’t put in just as much effort you will get nowhere. If you want to get better and are ready to commit don’t wait for my course to come out, getting better is on you with or without my support. So start now, for the rest of the year make one post per week getting help to improve or just sharing your work. I want to see that you’re committed so that I know you’re worth helping. Comment below “I’m In” And make your first post to guarantee that you’re going to be in the 10% and not the 90%

Not my best weld, but it is what it is.
