The TIP TIG manual process offers numerous weld benefits and is far superior to the manual Tig process. The TIP TIG process lowers weld sensitivity and can provide superior weld quality and higher wire feed rates than many automated hot wire Tig welds. The process has been proven on all schedules of carbon and stainless steel and tested on inconel 625 and other alloys with great success. This process is helping the UA weld at a very high speed and the highest quality possible manually.

As a part of this class the Training Center would like to invite interested signatory contractors and customers to a demonstration on February 10th.

A lunch meet and greet will be hosted from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm.

P91 Welds from Root to Cap with TIP TIG
November 9th to 10th, 2016 | Houston, Texas at the George R. Brown Convention Center

P91 Welds from Root to Cap with TIP TIG

presentation at the 2016 Stainless Steel World Americas Conference to be held in Houston, Texas at the George R. Brown Convention Center from November 9th to 10th, 2016.

ABSTRACT

Welding of Grade 91 (9Cr-1Mo-V) chromium-molybdenum steel has presented numerous challenges since its introduction in the 1980s. One of the principal challenges has been the selection of the optimal welding process. For single-sided-groove welds, the root bead and hot pass(es), are deposited using manual Gas Tungsten-Arc Welding (GTAW) process with an inert gas purge (most commonly argon), followed by another welding process(es) for completion of weld. It goes without saying, that the GTAW process can produce welds of high quality; however, manual welding it is extremely expensive and labor intensive, requiring skilled welders with extreme hand eye coordination and dexterity. Tip Tig has forever change how P91 will be welded for either shop or field fabrication by introducing a semiautomatic GTAW hot wire welding system. Tip Tig’s system is cost effective and can be used for the entire weld from root to cap while producing the high quality weld that the industry expects from the GTAW process.
