Welding of 1/8 inch pipes
Thread Content
Can 1/8 inch pipes be welded butt-to-butt? Wall thickness is 1.8 mm, welded by TIG welding. There is crevice corrosion in socket welding; I seek advice from experts.
There is crevice corrosion in socket welding; in that case, fusion welding is the only option. Test pieces can be prepared first
With such a small pipe diameter, I’m waiting for experts to give me some advice:P
I’m waiting to learn about it too – what’s its outer diameter? It’s too thin; the requirements will be very strict!
With an outer diameter of 10.2 mm, it can be fully welded – just adjust the welding parameters accordingly
I’ve never seen ones that are this fine and welded by butt jointing. However, if process requirements dictate it, finding a better welder and adjusting the welding parameters should work as well; but it’s not clear whether there will be any problems in actual use
