@altexindustries: MIG (GMAW, Gas Metal Arc Welding) root on the long-seam on a "can". Most shell & tube heat exchangers Altex builds use rolled-plate cylinders instead of standard pipe. When the plate is rolled into a cylinder, a longitudinal weld is performed to finish the "can". After the root-pass, a higher-production welding process is used, submerged-arc-welding (SAW), to complete the weld. Find A Better Way.
