I would like to produce full sized pipe templates using a standard A4 printer. For example this would require at least 3 X A4 pages in landscape for a 8" pipe template. Is this possible? If so how do I set up? I am using Autocad 2000.
Many years since I encountered Stellite but as said by strokersix, a Carburising Oxy/Acetylene flame is used when depositing Stellite, pre-heat/post-heat of the part to be built up is advisable if of any size. Multi pass runs may be needed to build up a given thickness.
I agree wholeheartedly with Mike Milburn as to the fear in the back of your mind as you strike up.
A method I have used in the past is to fill the vessel COMPLETELY with water, turning it so where the cutting or welding has to be done is at the very top. As you cut into the vessel as small...
Accepting all the previous replies, in U.K. this process is also known as Tungsten Active Gas as the more modern gas mixtures can actually add to the weld constituent.
