Tie Ins ???

[rahtreelimbs]

What is the proper way to handle ties on carbon, stainless and aluminum???

I am guessing it may vary on what is being welded???

stick?? start a couple inches above your bead fire up drag your rod down to end of the bead circle into it then run with it

Pretty vague question. Are you asking about restarts or terminating a weld or tieing one weld into another? I finish all my stops the same by ending the weld then filling the crater so there is no undersized weld or shrinkage. if I'm running one weld into another I will fill at least 2/3 of the crater from the previous weld then zap my crater or tie the weld in over a start by overlapping the weld by about twice the width of the welds face measurement.

Not being a pipe welder, I always have trouble with the tie in at 6 0'clock.

By tie in I mean stopping and restarting the weld regardless of the reason...............run out of rod...................boss calls you.............whatever.


I am trying to get some guidelines on when you need to grind the weld before restarting and does this apply to all welding processes.
