    Back in the dark ages, (late 70's, early 80's) when we were taught to weld at our local vo-tech school, (yep, I wasn't smart enough to go to college), we were taught that the gap should equal the rod you were using... Not sure if they teach that anymore or if they have new techniques... And it's amazing to see these new machines strike & hold an arc!!! We would have killed for a beautiful arc like that!!! Our old Lincoln/Miller machines were HUGE and HEAVY!!! I can still hear the Mr Pogue saying, "Show me your butts before you leave!!!"... Good times ;-) Well done sir, thank you for showing an old schooler/new sub a few new tricks!!!

    • @Amp661
      @Amp661 3 роки тому

      From what I learned in school back in 2017, When doing a bevel test plate for structural steel, you can have a space equal to the rod diameter or smaller. I think the biggest gap allowed today is 1/4 of an inch.

    Dear Paul, thanks for showing us the 3/32 root compared to the 1/8 root gaps....looks like it really made a big difference in quality. I wish I had known how much difference it made back in the day while in school. we are required to use a 1/8 root face and a 3/32 gap on 37 degree bevel open root. I think they had the specs off, but who was I to argue....Best Wishes from Orlando, Paul Brown

    We weld cracks in hydraulic tanks or fuel tanks using 7018.Trick is have tank full.Weld through the oil or fuel.Never weld on empty tank,that will explode and kill you.Feel lucky, drop a pound or more of dry ice into tank before welding on empty tanks.Dry ice displaces oxygen and you can weld on empty tank.Do it if you feel lucky .

    i aint no expert but that technique on the first root with the big jumps foward then back seemed kinda ineffective with the arc going out and restarts , as we saw on the backside of the plate - then your technique looked different on your 2nd root with much better results - thanks for the video - we're always learning

    if you'll notice you're preheating metal that you do not want to with those high upwards strokes on the root, you want it to be "relatively cool" when you pass over. a lot of new welders would definitely blow through with this method.

    the statement at 4 minutes about 70,80,90 series rods needing stored at 225 to 300 degrees is incorrect. 6010-9010 rods are to be stored at room temperature. The higher temp storage will deterogte these non low hydrogen rods. XX14 and XX24 , are to be stored at 125 degrees farenheit, along with XX12, XX13,AND XX22, WHICH ARE USUALLY 60 SERIES but of the same Rutile type as XX14 AND XX24

    THANK YOU SO MUCH for a nicely done vertical weld test training video! I've got a question...your rod angle is real steep. {{ Way back (when I was a student Tool & Die Maker, that was a professional Electrician); repairing welding equipment in our local tech school, I would listen in on what the welding instructor would be telling his students. He would say, "The straighter in your rod is, the stronger and prettier your bead will be." He caught me evesdropping on his class and envited me in on his class-room discussion. He found out my experience level in the Machinist and Electrical fields and tutored me, when he could in welding professionally.}}
    That being said, I have tried to keep an almost straight-in rod angle and run a "U" pattern up-hill, for most of my life. My health vs age has made me shakey...so I Mig more than stick, but I watched you running your cover-pass with the rod angled up, and needed to understand that concept. Does it splatter real bad, like its throwing metal, or does DC act better about not doing that than AC does?

    Modern ASME industry standard is the 2 inch 6G ,schedule .344 wall test. It qualifies the operator for pipe wall thickness up tp .688 wall. The uphill root bead became obsolete back in the 70s with the invention of high penetration welding rods like the German cell-80 that was used on the Trans Alaska pipeline.A down hill rod. American high penetration rods soon appeared and have been used now for 60 years in the industry.7010s and 8010s coupled with 8018 fillers and caps.Most pipe and tube welding procedure TODAY are downhill root,downhill hot pass and uphill with the 8018s ie filler and caps.The trans Alaska pipeline done to API standards [not ASME] was downhill all the way using the 8010 seres high pen rods.Before that were mostly navy trained welders who were taught to uphill everything.Its much slower and produces more unwanted localized heat.The young an who test today will likely take the 2 inch test.Its x-rayed and it is cheap for employers.So that young person would do well to learn downhill root and hotpass on the ,344 wall boilertube with 8018 filler and string bead cap.NOT WIDE CAP.Beads can only be 1 1/2 times the diameter of the rod used..For instance 1/8 rod would be 3/16 wide max.For young people ASME stands for American Society of Mechanical Engineeers.API [less stringent] stands for American Piping Institute.Also 6G stands for pipe test done at a 45 degree angle as opposed to horizontal or vertical test.

    • @winterswelds54
      @winterswelds54 3 роки тому +3

      Try this technique each time that you stop at the count 1 one thousand then move. The under cut you are getting is because you are leaving the toe to fast thus pulling material from the wall. Just slow it down a bit and check that you amps aren't too high.

    Good job sir. Appreciate the arc shots and all the advice. The way that arc kept cutting out in the root, I think it might have been the machine there because from what I saw, you kept the arc length consistent. Did you change anything else for the root pass on your 2nd plate? Like arc force or amps?

      Good to know how to whip though because in the field you’re going to have a bad fit up here and there.

      I just think for beginner its easier to teach someone to stick the rod in and drag that's all and if the gap starts closing up tell them to slow down if it opens up speed up it's just easier to control if you put a good land on your pipe or plate in my opinion that's all

    So when you test you don’t recommend cleaning the tie in?

      It's better if you do. Feather it in too.

    On the first root, it appears you whipped too much and thus making it not get full penetration.

    That 6010 root on the first coupon looks like SHIT, why would you continue to cap when that root would tear open when bend tested.

    I'm reading alot of the comments from other people and their right.What a person see's on a video and what they see and do out in the field and shop are three completly different things.Year's ago working on a fish processing ship with the engineeries I had to weld a"pad eye" to the deck to hold down a skiff.The 350 footer was bobbin up and down, 60mph winds, raining like cats and dogs and wind chill about 20 below zero, insulated coveralls on,raingear and welding on deck up in ALASKA just south of the Bearing Sea.It wa so hard to move around on the deck I felt like a ballon.The deck plate was atleast 5/8" thick and the pad eye about the same thickness,the deck had about 1/2" thick epoxy paint on it and the WORST PART OF IT ALL,AT LEAST 2" OF RAIN ON DECK.Well someone beat me to it,they chipped the paint away, I didn't ask,all I know is I was looking at clean metal when I got there, good enough for me.But I still used 6011-5/32 rod cranked up,welded one side,then 7018-1/8 same amps, DON'T EVER,EVER SAY A PERSON CANNOT WELD WITH" LH 7018 WET ROD,POORING DOWN RAIN, GETTING THE S--T SHOCKED OUT OF HIM/HER,2" OF WATER ON DECK BECAUSE THEY ARE TOTALLY 150% WRONG, WRONG,I AM LIVING PROOF,TALK ABOUT GETTING SHOOKED,YA I GOT IT WELDED ALL RIGHT, 7 DAY'S LATER IT HAD TO BE REMOVED AND A SLEDGE HAMMER COULD NOT BEND IT, BENDING IT INTO THE WELD,IT WOULD NOT BUDGE!! A ENGINEER TOOK CARBON ARC GOWGING TO GET IT OFF,THEN GRIND THE WELD, WHAT'S LEFT.DONT EVER SAY LH ROD OF 7018 CANNOT WELD IN 2" OF RAIN AND THE RODS GOT SOAKING WET. NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL WELDING OUT IN THE FIELD !! I THINK IT SHOULD BE A GOOD IDEA FOR SCHOOLS TO TEACH STUDENTS WHAT'S IT LIKE WELDING OUT IN THE FIELD IN THE ELEMENTS (100+ DEGREES HOT WEATHER TO--20 TA--50 BELOW ZERO,WIND BLOWIN.
