School project from Jerky (3g tig root)

[jerky]

Cool stuff.

In the Marine Corps (where I went to welding school), we didn't get to do TIG. I learned that at one of the shops I was stationed at.

Why would you run a 7018 over the TIG? Is the tensile strength stronger in the 7018 filler? Otherwise, it seems good enough to leave alone with the TIG pass.

faster to fill the gap with stick, but tig root makes it very strong.

Thanks for sharing Jerkey. I have been thinking of going to welding school. What type of course are you taking. Is it through a Junior college?

i live in canada, specifically alberta where welding is a maditory trade just like pulmbing and electrical. 3 year course, 2 months per year.
