TT
Name | Illustration | Reason | How to fix | |
1 | Burnt edge weld. |
| - High welding speed, the welding torch has no stopping point at two amplitudes. - Large welding current | Adjust the speed moderately, oscillation has a stop point at two amplitudes. Do not choose too large current. |
2 | Metal spatter |
| - Long arc, unstable current | - Shorten the arc distance. Adjust the current appropriately. |
3 | Weld without fusion |
| Small current, fast welding head movement speed | Adjust welding current and speed accordingly |
4 | Unfilled metal top edge |
| - The angle of the soldering iron is not correct. | - Adjust the angle and oscillation of the soldering iron |

3.2. Practical exercise 2: Welding a pipe with diameter Ф 90 at the vertical pipe axis position 2G.
3.2.1 Implementation sequence
1. Read drawings and technical requirements of welds

4.8.Welding drawings
2. Prepare equipment and tools
- Prepare MIG/MAG welding machine,
- Prepare CO2 gas bottle and install the meter on the gas bottle, connect the gas pipe from the bottle to the machine (use a wrench)
- Hand grinder, wire brush, file, anvil, hammer, ruler, wrench
3. Prepare welding materials
- Prepare welding wire. Insert the wire into the machine and adjust the length of the protruding part of the welding wire: 12÷ 15 mm
- Prepare gas, open valve to check the amount of gas in the bottle
- Welding blank: Cut steel pipe blank. Clean the edge to be welded by filing or grinding.

Figure 4.9. Welding workpiece size
4. Determine and select welding parameters (according to table 1)
- Adjust welding current: 110 ÷ 120 A, voltage 220 ÷ 22 V
- Adjust the protective gas flow rate 8÷ 12 liters/minute
- Check the circulation of the shielding gas: Press the soldering iron switch to check.
5. Fixing and attaching joints
- Place the tube blank on the centering fixture (v-block), adjust the gap to 3.2 ÷ 4 mm or mount the blank as shown.
- The tack weld must be firm. The tack weld should not be welded directly to the lining weld edge, but should be tack welded to the outer part of the pipe thickness (as shown in the figure). The deviation between the two pipe edges should not exceed 1.6 mm.


Figure 4.10.a-Alignment, clamping Figure 4.10.b-Location of the attachment joints
6. Mount the workpiece in the correct welding position
- The welding workpiece must be securely mounted in the correct horizontal welding position.
(pipe generator perpendicular to the projection plane, position 2G).

Figure 4.11- Workpiece clamping at position 2G
7. Adjust the welding mode parameters
Based on the material thickness and welding wire diameter, select and adjust welding parameters according to the welding mode parameter table on the welding machine.
- Adjust welding current to about: 100 ÷ 110 A, voltage 20 ÷ 22 V
- Adjust the protective gas flow rate 8÷ 12 liters/minute
8. Welding the lining:
- Create an arc at any position 10 ÷ 15 mm away from the tack weld. When you see the weld pool forming between the two edges of the workpiece, move the welding torch in a straight line. When the keyhole starts to form, proceed with horizontal oscillation.
- The soldering iron swings horizontally in a sawtooth or circular pattern, depending on the width of the mounting gap.


Figure 4.5a-Sawtooth oscillation
Figure 4.5b-Oscillation in a deviated circular pattern
- The angle of the welding torch relative to the tangent of the weld axis at the welding point
welding direction from 65 0 85 0 (travel angle) and welding torch compared to the generator line of the pipe below at the corner welding point from 65 0 85 0 (working angle).

Figure 4.13.- Welding torch angle
- When oscillating, the welding torch must stop at the oscillation amplitude to ensure penetration and metal filling the weld edge, stopping at the upper amplitude greater than the lower amplitude.
