►SUBSCRIBE for new videos every Monday and Friday: goo.gl/FRdNss
A few weeks ago we did a video showing how to gas weld an outside corner without filler. We were surprised, to say the least, on the amount of positive feedback and requests for more. So today, we are expanding on that topic and will show you how to gas weld outside corners with filler material. Then we will turn the joint around and do a fillet on the inside.

Bob, I would like to see more about O/A pressures. What pressures to use for heating, what pressure to use for cutting, etc. Another thing i would like to see is how to set up a cutting torch for cutting through steel. I work at a scrapyard so knowing more about cutting through rusty truck frames, cutting 1" plate apart, etc etc would be awesome. Love the videos!

This brings back a fond memory of mine. When I was about 14 years old I asked my Dad to teach me to weld (he welded in the oilfield and plants for 50 years.) He said fine drag the torch out. My comment was - I didn't want to do that teach me mig and tig. We argued for a while and he settled it saying - you know those planes from WWII you love to study, guess how they were built?? Answer - a housewife built them with oxygen and acetylene, now learn this and I'll teach you the rest. That settled it, I learned the torch and some (not all) of the rest. I'm convinced it made it all better starting here. I'm not a welder today but I still tinker when not playing entomologist around cotton fields in the US. He told me later he started working for Tennessee Gas welding and they required everything under 2" to be gas welded. Thanks for the videos.

Oxy acetylene was often the first process taught in welding classes back in the day (OIT). You learn to manipulate and direct heat to control the puddle. I still feel this is a good foundation to learn other processes.

Just started welding school a month ago. This is by far my favorite process. OAW just feels so meditative, just the sound of a steady flame as you gently push the puddle. Definitely a lot quieter then Stick, my ears hurt from the grinders and chipping hammers 🤣

Very useful video for me, as I used to have similar problems when doing TIG and Oxy A, and tended to try and keep going instead of stopping and re -assessing what was going wrong. I learn something every time I watch Mr Moffat. Pretty impressive how he keeps calm when it does not go right, I'd be cussing like a mule train driver.

@ddcd53 7 жыл бұрын

thanks Bob for the great video, it's very much appreciated. I believe your were right on the O/A fillet weld. I think it's the hardest one to weld. Not as easy as the outside corner and the heat is always burning your rod holding hand and arm. Steve Bleile made a couple of good tips on his O/A video. Preheat a little bit in front the area to weld and it will be easy to get a puddle going quick. And keep the filler rod just close enough to the flame to keep it almost molten on the tip. When you dip it in the puddle, it won't cool the puddle down much as it was already molten hot. When you do that, it helps the weld to move along quicker as it is not cooling down as much. Once again, I'm glad you are doing the O/A vids for all of us. I really enjoyed them. Dan.

Really appreciate this video. I'm learning o/a and really enjoying it. Purely a hobbyist, I need and enjoy the versatility that oxy-fuel offers. There aren't many YT videos that spend the time demonstrating and explaining like you did with this one. I identified several things that I'm NOT doing yet but will begin doing now that I've seen it done correctly. The process may be "old school" but I'm okay with that. It gets the job done without the multi thousand dollar investment of TIG and the longer learning curve that I may not live/work long enough to acquire.

It's crazy to me how overlooked an oxy/acetylene setup is. It's so versatile. You can weld, braze, cut, forge (to a certain extent), and probably more. For what you pay, it might be the only tool you need to get started, especially for those that don't have access to the power required to run electric, or protection from the elements, like in your backyard, because you only have a tiny shed for storing your tools. There's a reason this older technology hasn't completely died out.

Thank you for a great gas welding video! I took welding /ag mechanics thru fours years of high school with 3 years of student teaching. I had three different teachers during that time and not one of them could do the type of gas welding I had taught myself. I've never done TIG welding or much of any wire feed welding at all. I've built headers for dirt bikes, exhaust systems for all kinds of trucks and would not have been able to do any of those projects if I had not learned this type of welding. Thanks again for a good video!

At 16 min, talking about using the parent metal itself for filler: "Autogenous". Enjoyed this, have also found it difficult to use a torch on the inside corner like that. I once read something about this, that the filler wire was applied to the top edge of the fillet to sort of protect it and reduce that undercut, I never have done that. Now I can at least see what he was talking about. In its province, torch welding is a lot of fun, easy and good control. I'm thinking mostly very thin material, and also brazing and silver-soldering.

You need just a hint of "harder" flame anf more travel speed.. also keep the tip of the filler rod in flame, colder area of the flame to protect it from oxygen. Harder flame and faster travel speed keeps the heat in tighter spot 😉

Oxy fuel t joint is the hardest joint to do. I noticed its very important to clean the steel really well. If its got mill scale or rust on it, its gonna run horrible. It sparkles and pops so it's pretty important to clean it. I notice sometimes its actually better to use a size tip smaller because having a bigger tip creates way too much heat and you'll sometimes end up undercutting the plates. You actually want to try to work with a slight harsh flame but not like a turbulating sound. Having a hotter puddle your at risk of overheating the joint and like i said it causes excessive undercut and the puddle gets too fluent and harder to control. Gets all the yellow oxides in the puddle. But t joints are a pain. I went back to oxy fuel welding and I'm trying to master the 2f t joint. But best thing is clean the steel really well, and watch the torch angles, its probobaly best to just straight out push the puddle forward and probably should avoid big oscillations.

Now don't want to be speaking for Bob, but I suspect that he does use hearing protection when there is damaging levels. Welding isn't that loud. I work in sound and have also done lots of shop work and for a lot of it I wear hearing protection, almost all powered wood working tools are in the damage range, but I don't wear hearing protection for welding, grinding yes.

@johnlargue9523 7 жыл бұрын

beg to differ constant noise of any kind over extended periods of time will damage your hearing just as much as short very loud noises will but it is a choice for you to make same as any protection is. Be safe out there

@skoue4165 7 жыл бұрын

Well it depends on the noise. High feq. can be damaging so maybe stick is loud enough, gas though? Very little high freq. content. Tig very quiet on DC, even Mig is hardly above cooking loudness. There are "old timers" in construction that don't use anything ever, but mostly their hearing is shot. I worked with painters once who were forced to wear dust masks. So they cut holes in them so they could smoke... In a absolute way you are probably right that any sound is going to do some damage over time but unless you are going to wear ear plugs 24/7 you are going to be exposed to some. I don't have OA but I can take some SPL levels on Tig and Stick. I can pretty much guarantee that they will be WAY below any OSHA levels requiring protection. I personally think their levels are too high, especially for short loud sounds. I'm willing to be surprised but I doubt that I will find levels that any medical body would say requires hearing protection. I have looked at this before (though not for welding) so I think I have a fairly good feel for it. But again worth looking at.

have you ever used propane and oxy to cut or weld with? if so what is your take on it?

@readerbrad 3 жыл бұрын

oxy/propane is essentially the same. run a little higher oxygen pressure. where as oxy/ace generallu uses a 1:4 ratio of fuel to air, oxy/pro needs about 1:5. that means, if your oxy/acetylene pressure is 5/20 then oxy/pro should be closer to 5/25. another big "gotcha" is with acetylene, the heat is right on the edge of the inner cone; you touch your preheat cone to the work to heat it up. With propane, the heat is outside of the inner cone... I use about the length of the cone as a guage... if the inner cone is 1/8" in length, then to preheat the work, I keep the work 1/8" away from the inner cone. Hopefully it makes since what I"m describing.

shoes121255 oxy acetylene is usually used with pretty much any steel filler rod. I know guys that have produced acceptable strength welds with coat hangers. Not ideal it is shows that if it is steel it works.

@@nickskokut6537 This has come up in other places, but the difference is that welding rod has deoxidizers in it, and coat hanger is just more steel. So, it's filler but it doesn't help the weld. I've used it and also good old baling wire which I think might be almost pure iron? It's very soft sometimes.

For safety reasons always turn oxygen off before acetylene after you're done welding. If not you're at a higher risk of creating an explosion

Great video, one point is that I would have laid the torch down more so the flame pushes the pool forwards and reduces the heat at the tip and risk of blowback. Also, the wire scared me. Bend it over at the end, the loose end will fetch you eye out if it catches you. Agree with lifting it up, too much heat dissipating through the bench.
