What is TIP TIG…?

The TIP TIG process is a semi automatic wire feed technology which creates a vibratory effect on the wire in addition to combining Hotwire current to the filler metal prior to entering the weld puddle.

The vibratory effect is created by a linear forward & backward mechanical motion created by the custom wire feeder system

The Hotwire current is created by a secondary power source within the TIP TIG unit.

• 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 much higher wire feed rates compared to manual TIG.

The process has been proven on all schedules of carbon and stainless steel and tested on Inconel 625, Duplex, Super Duplex, Titanium, Nickel and Copper Alloys with great success.
This process is helping companies weld at a very high speed and with the highest quality possible manually.

Why do I need to look at TIP TIG:

• Pipe Applications
• Needing more production of the GTAW process.
• Application requires 100% X Ray.
• Trouble with finding high skilled TIG welders.
• Having problems with distortion, spatter or quality issues.
• Wanting to decrease hexavalent chromium exposures from FCAW.

As a part of this workshop at the Training Center would like to invite interested contractors and customers to a demonstration on May 22nd from 9:00 to 4:00 p.m.

The day will start with a presentation about the process, cost savings and ideal applications where TIP TIG fits, Q&A then lunch.

Speaker will be from Juvenal Calvo who is the Vice President of TIP TIG USA.

The afternoon will be a pipe demonstration on a 6″ sch 80 CS pipe to show the process from root to cap in position as well as stainless fillet welds on T Joints.

Agenda:

• Opening Presentation 9:00 – 10:30
• Q&A 10:30 – 12:00
• Lunch 12:00 – 12:45
• Weld Demonstration 1:00 – 4:00

Lunch will be catered by TIP TIG USA

Open root welding of austenitic and duplex stainless steel with gas tungsten-arc welding (GTAW) is typically performed using an inert backing gas for purging, such as argon, to protect the root pass from atmospheric contamination and oxidation. In many cases, using a backing gas for purging is impractical due to system design, access limitations, personnel safety, schedule and various economic factors. Until recently the only options available for open root welding of austenitic and duplex stainless steel that eliminated the need for backing gas were: flux agents, flux coated/flux cored rods and gas metal-arc welding using the short-circuiting transfer (GMAW-S). Each of these options have been used successfully, to some degree, in diverse service environments.

Now after extensive application research, development and testing the need for backing gas has been eliminated for open root welding of austenitic and duplex stainless steel using a semiautomatic GTAW hot wire welding system technically known as High Deposition Metal Transfer Gas Tungsten-Arc Welding (HDMTGTAW), combined with stainless steel or duplex flux cored wires (AWS/ASME A/SFA-5.22 and A/SFA-5.22M) and argon shielding. The HDMTGTAW system when combined with flux cored wire for the root pass and solid wire for the remainder of the weldment is a complete, cost effective system for welding the entire weld from root to cap that is capable of producing quality welds with high integrity.
