Was a Boilermaker welder, on construction sites. My work was doing "certified" welds on high pressure powerhouse boilers, refineries, blast furnaces. It involved new and repair work. Many "rod burners" can do their work, standing at a jig or table. A "welder" can do the same quality welds standing, sitting, laying down, on their stomach, on their back or (as I once had to) bending over and welding between my legs (inside a boiler steam drum. Had my weld pimp comment that he didn't know we had to learn to weld standing on your head. Told him, "You don't, but if you want to get the job done, you better learn how".
@@tittlemouse92 I truly loved my career as a union Boilermaker welder/mechanic. I admit I didn't put down the "textbook perfect" welds some people here post. I can honestly say, that in over two decades, working with the tools, I never had put in a weld that failed a test, nor did I fail to certify. There were times that, because of this, I was sent to jobs where the welder (I replaced) had taken a shortcut and got caught. You can look into a welding program at a local community College, to learn the basics. If there was advice I'd give someone it would be to be: 1. Patience, when you hurry you miss things and make mistakes. 2. Make sure the surface/s your welding are "clean from any contaminate/s". Even if you're at a welding course and get a test coupon, run a torch flane over the area your going to weld, to remove any oils. Use a grinder (disc or burr) to remove scale from the metals. If it's a tube, that means inside and out, about 1/2" along the area you'll weld. Working on a boiler for a 650 megawatt powerhouse. The customer wanted a section of water wall tube cut out/replaced for testing purposes. The material was a chrome alloy steel. Chrome alloy welds don't like dirt, of any kind. I had a good rapport with the customer weld tech, and he knew my welding. I marked and cutout the piece to be tested, located and cut/prepped the replacement piece as described above. My shift was over and the next crew came in to continue the work. They were to prep the existing area/insert/tack the new piece in. The weld procedure called for a heli-arc root and stick fill/cover. This weld was a bit tricky as I could only see/weld three-quarters of the tube. My partner, on the other side did the rest. As I heli-arced the weld and got to the spot directly 8n front of me, the weld puddle started to get bubbles in it. A clear sign that the area had never been cleaned and the weld wouldn't hold. The weld tech was called and authorized cutting the tube back out, 4 inches (either end) longer so we could see what happened. Once removed you could clearly see the area that bubbled had not been cleaned properly. The weld tech informed my boss that the other crew wasn't going to weld any more. The job was mine to complete.
I just got your modified Fiber-metal helmet and your auto darkening lens , have to be the best we have ever tried in our shop , thank you and your stickers now are all over everything , all the way from the desert of Arabia
back in '96 @ Hobart Institute of Welding Technology we didnt use a grinder. Chipping Hamer and a brush, we trained 6010 up hill and 7018 fill and cap.
I have this test Tuesday for a job interview and test. I havent welded stick since welding school. I remember always being told, run 6010 downhill for your root and 7018 UPHILL for fill and cap. Soooo? What gives? Whats the right way
Quite damn beautiful but for educational and situational purposes would you guys make a pipe video for a stationary pipe? Cause almost no one will have the luxury of a rotational jig unless you guys already have this content I just found the channel! Love it!
Something I've been curious about for a while is what is the deal with pro welders and the use of past tense? I hear grinded, thirty twos not thirty seconds ect.
Different procedure, it's allowed but as with any pipe procedure if it's designed uphill you have to weld it uphill. Downhill 6010 is still the preferred method for cross country piplines
Going into my 2nd year welding apprenticeship, I thought 6010 was pretty much on its way out? What is the reasoning for using it on the root then a 7018 to fill? Thanks! I'm not too far from you boys, down in Airdrie, AB!
6010 has all kinds of benefits as a root/hot pass rod. However some pipework requires properties that 7018 excels at providing. Lots of reasons for both depending on setting and application I'm afraid! I don't want to get ahead of your college or confuse anything you're being taught so just keep at it the knowledge will come 👍
@@samwhite1823 No this is all good info, appreciate it. I'd really have to be in the field to get a better grasp on it. I'm currently in a shop fabricating/welding which is a whole nother ball game!
@@anxietyonline1947 nothing beats time with the machine, once you get to spend some time with 6010 you'll see how good they are at getting a root in fast, especially downhill. Keep at it bud 💪
Love to know why, if the procedure demands 7018 rods (hydrogen controlled) you are putting a 6010 rod in the root. The root being the main area susceptible to hydrogen cracking. As a qualified welder and inspector, retired, even the modern 6013 rods have more cellulose than is good for them and are no longer any good for structural steels. But a 6010 is right out of spec. I would love to hear the logic ,or lack of it, from other weldwrs.😊😊😊

Local 175 boilermaker, I’m loving it.

@@richardkawucha1232This was an excellent read. Taking Welding courses at CC. Is job searching easy after?
grab a 3/16" 7018 for the hot pass and skip a whole pass all together! About time we see some 1/4" on a video..made sense it was done in alberta. ha
I just got your modified Fiber-metal helmet and your auto darkening lens , have to be the best we have ever tried in our shop , thank you and your stickers now are all over everything , all the way from the desert of Arabia
1:59 What camera are you using? It's very clear unlike most cameras while recording a weld.
Question why would you folks use stick instead MIG?
I was wondering this for b wille
Great weld man!!!
back in '96 @ Hobart Institute of Welding Technology we didnt use a grinder. Chipping Hamer and a brush, we trained 6010 up hill and 7018 fill and cap.
Thanks for this one.. Really helped a lot especially for the beginner like me 🙏👍☺️
I take my hat off to you sir that despite being a roll out was a fine display of the welders art. Were you burning out the 1/4" 7018 on DC or AC ?
Is that a bit of undercut on the capping run ?
nice work i love 7018 5/32 myself .nyc welder 30 years stay well.
I do welding in BOCES and I'm currently working on Bend tests on 7018
Wow he did a great job 👏
Don’t get to weld on a rotator very often in the field!
Indonesia the best welder, no 1
I have this test Tuesday for a job interview and test. I havent welded stick since welding school. I remember always being told, run 6010 downhill for your root and 7018 UPHILL for fill and cap. Soooo? What gives? Whats the right way
Very useful for tutorial pipe welding, good welding technic.
I bet he couldn't pass a x-ray for pipeline work.
Bad ass turn 'n' burn!!!
Easy in the flat position, 6GR is the test.
Looking good brother be safe and keep burning them rods🤙🏼
Do one in position with actuslly test rods 1/8 6010 and a 3/32 or 1/8 7018
Work Of Art 🎨

Came out very nice
Ok so this leaves me confused. Down hand 6010. Is that aloud? I’ve been told both but my b pressure certification says up hill only
Or wait this is being rolled… so I’ve bin rolling but if it’s in position do you have to have a specific certification for a down hill root?
Different procedure, it's allowed but as with any pipe procedure if it's designed uphill you have to weld it uphill. Downhill 6010 is still the preferred method for cross country piplines
Hello, did you pass 2 with 7018? But it can be poured with 7018 only by turning the pipe
He’s doing downhill tho, I was taught to only hit uphill. Does it matter?
Perfect job welding
1/4 "7018 is a bit overkill for fill and cap. 5/32 would be better. I understand the reason. Fab shop you have weld it as fast as possible.
Can y’all do one of these but in position?
This position is retation
@dja I think they know that, just asking for a fixed pipe.
Yh, and show us uphill welding..
Good luck welding uphill with a 6mm 7018 😂 300 amps! Downhand in rotation only for that procedure I'm afraid
You ain’t know these guys can wear doing handstands buddy…
They ain’t got a show you lol
When I'm hot passing with 6010, I don't even bother grinding clean. Just knock down the high spots (tie-ins), buff the slag, and giver.
Can we see some Stick Stainless Vertical on a flat flush piece? Not angle, i can’t find anything anywhere
I work at BFL in Nisku! Hello brothers!
Please tell me which camera you use to record welding videos
Which welder you recommend? For 6010
F***ing slick job! ❤
Well done!
damn that’s one perfect weld !!
Wow. ..what type of electrodes do you use. ?
Great video sir thanks
That was great Wilding
was he draggin the hot pass?
Did you know they use to drag hot passes back in the 1900’s?
When there's slag you drag, you never push rod.
I think they’re talking about it being a stringer bead for the hot pass. We were always taught to whip and pause a 6010 hot pass. Pretty interesting.
Very cool!
Beautiful work
Good weld ! well Done.
How hot is the "hot pass" dont thinknit was mentioned
Was machen sie auf Baustellen , wenn das Rohr fest verbaut ist ?
looks like a machine welded it ... super consistent !
it did
why he doesn't start to uphill on root
Good work!
Knocking the flux off while welding nice bruh!!

What welding machine was he using and what brand of 7018 ?
How can i order a welding mask from your store sir I'm from the Philippines and how much?
Cant rotate a pipe out in the field
Yeah you can, but you eventually have to make some non rotated welds.
Yeah we’ll just drag everything to the field and lose money. 👍

I learned to weld at Community College and I did not enjoy pipe welding.
That root pass can go wrong SO FAST!
It's ALL about practice and you really need a portable reostat at your finger tips.
Well there’s your problem - community college 😂
Why?
Good👍👍👍

If 7018 is required. 60 series rod would not be used. The root would have to be 7018.
