Question about "chill rings"

admin

Are they only welded in with tig?
Reply:Never seen one Tig welded. Consumable inserts yes. We used chill rings all the time on structural pipe, using Innershield. Got to the point where we just had 3/8-inch thick flatbar rolled. That way we could hold a little more gap, and then really pour the coals to the joint.Don’t pay any attention to meI’m just a hobbyist!CarlDynasty 300V350-Pro w/pulseSG Spool gun1937 IdealArc-300PowerArc 200ST3 SA-200sVantage 400

Reply:I have used them with SMAW, but about the late 70s they took all our stingers away and gave us flux core. Don’t pay any attention to meI’m just a hobbyist!CarlDynasty 300V350-Pro w/pulseSG Spool gun1937 IdealArc-300PowerArc 200ST3 SA-200sVantage 400
