Welding- High Speed Camera

[Nathanhi89]

whats the frame rate?

[gregbingley76]

its not spray transfer idiots, nor is it short circuit, its actually globular, learn how to weld before u say anything

[FabianoBoiadeiro]

GoooD!!!!

[DankCoon]

Glassholio: Its oviously not TIG, you can see the electrode is being consumed. Definately MIG, probably drip transfer and aluminum.

Zanedude3: Stick welding huh? lol

[jonesgerard]

Thats mig.

[7in7in7in]

@DankCoon it's ally spray transfer....more than likely 5% silicone.

[glassholio]

this looks like tig (tungsten inert gas)

[zanedude3]

its not, its just stick welding in high speen

[vkorinfsky]

@zanedude3

Yeah a stick with a metal pool size of a dinner plate.

[DankCoon]

It looks like drip transfer on aluminum to me.

[stgm]

MIG is what was created when there was a "Bring Your Daughter To Work" day at a welding shop, so some real welders designed the first MIG.

[Guyya93]

that is rly cool...

[ironwercs]

You dont use pulsed spray on aluminum. You can use regular spray tanfer in any postion when welding aluminum. On steel its only good for flat and horizontal fillets. Thats why they made pulsed spray.

[gregbingley76]

@ironwercs u can spray in all positions if u know how to do it

[pieznice29]

thats cool,

but mine are better

[vdubin474]

It's GMAW (MIG) Spray pulse transfer on what looks like aluminum base material.

[ironwercs]

Is this spray tranfer? It looks better then the videos they showed us in school. I think its GMAW spray tranfer. If it was short circuit tranfer the wire would have to make contact with the puddle.

[Mugabe69]

Sorry to cotradict all of you, but I think you will find that it's not mig welding....

I'm pretty sure that it's terminator 2 curling one out, he may have the squits.

[DarkAvenger423]

was that a stick or mig weld?

[minitsrule]

stick

[omniwelder]

No try mig fool!

you see the filler wire shooting down in the picture frame.

stick welding isn't as exciting to watch all you see is droplets of steel from the electrode and you see a cool swirly vortex in the slag.

its so much fun welding for a living.

[minitsrule]

ive done a little welding im certified but i guess i just saw it worng after looking at it closer i see that its mig

[omniwelder]

easy mistake to make it is quite a dark vid

besides with stick welding you can control the weld pool alot more so I personaly think its better that way.

[minitsrule]

really i think that mig is the better type of welding to go but i do more fab then anything so that also makes kind of a difference

[omniwelder]

well for production purposes it is quicker to lay down a mig weld but having said that its easy to quickly make a mistake.

when ever you see pipe welds done on big pipes for gas or oil they use stick.

they often use mig in a work shop or with cars because of simplicity only takes half a second to mess up a stick weld an then you end up with slag in the weld or poor penetration.

[omniwelder]

it was mig if you look at the size of the droplet in relation to the size of the molten weld pool in stick welding its slower an not as bright and the Electrode *stick* is closer rather than the gas shroud of a mig gun being so far away.

stick welding in some respects doesnt look as much fun but its fun in my eyes looking at the swirling votexes in the slag left from the weld pool its like molten lava except your making it :p

[twiggyh4x]

was that a mig weld ? cos i couldnt tell, it was too damn slow. lol

[jakobthelier]

damn now i wanna go back to welding class tommrow

[MB2NDN]

That was totally kewl, did anyone check out that Lazer welding video

[FibViTa]

WOW never seen it this way

[Manny32V]

nice

[davidtat2d]

to think after 24 years of doing this as a job. i lost the plot and watched it on youtube. how sad.....

[libtechsk8er]

WOW!

[yellowrubberraincoat]

I watched a solar eclipse through a welding mask once. Very cool.

[z0diacx]

VERY cool. 'Been welding for years but have never seen it in slow mo close up like that.

[petejt]

that looks really cool

[LeDweeb]

woohoo stick welding FTW!

[Mandingou]

imagine what it can do to people...

shit

[pmgodfrey]

-Mandingou- It hurts.....a lot - I can tell you that much...

[mgallegos55]

9000 degrees

[NovemberBegin]

it's over 9000!

[mgallegos55]

hahahahaha!! that was clever!!

[NovemberBegin]

lol thanks

[ChainbladeVideos]

over 9000 !? but that possibly be right

[NovemberBegin]

I think you forgot a word there. lol

[ChainbladeVideos]

damn i ment uhh..

cheetah screw the power level -.-

[aznswordsman]

XD Lmfao.

[MiamiBomber]

my dads been welding for 25 years now, he loves it, the special masks are awesome, theyre so sensitive even a strike from a match dims the screen, but $300+ a pop lol, ive seen him weld aluminum and steel, looks like a roll of dimes when he finishes

[Ares925]

Thats awsome, it looks just like water when you slow it down.

[mazdaplz]

this looks so trippy i just had to use this footage for a music video that i made, and i hope you like it. it's a version of the 60's classic san francisco by led zeppelin

[sha7dow]

nice vis!!

[paulieiskool]

5/5 and i favourite this :D

[kingcohiba318]

this is certainly mig welding. i would have to say it is a globular transfer

[LoginGrimnar]

I love tig welding but it is increasingly hard to tig aluminum but this is truely another aspect of welding I have never seen makes it look that much more beautiful now only if he could make it go around in a circle at high speed then he would have a electro-magnet ;)

[cheeseboat15]

GTAW welding aluminum take practice. The main thing you have to keep in mind is keep the metal clean. Scrub the hell out of it with a wire brush before you attempt to lay a bead. Aluminum oxide forms almost instantly after the area is cleaned. It's melting temp is much higher than aluminum itself. Wanna know more? Talk to me, I am a wealth of welding knowledge. I have mastered GTAW, GMAW, SMAW and oxy-fuel welding. Any question at all, feel free to ask. I will be glad to help

[AKAeric]

Thanks for the input. It is always nice to get some info from an educated source.

[cheeseboat15]

My pleasure =D

[johndear18]

arc welder?

[souchy678]

it's definitely wire feed

[pcfaulkner]

a high speed camera would cost about a lot

[cptsimian]

arc welding = welding with an electric arc, which is most welding

the arc is coming through the droplets so it is not tig, not possible to tell whether it is stick or wirefeed without the video maker telling us

I'd guess wirefeed as it is more common now

welding is fun

[Shaaptoof]

can it possibly be MIG?

[jackavery123123]

i love welding XD

[Everlast909]

how much are these high speed cameras?

[moersenice]

2000 FPS! Ha ha ha

[cheeseboat15]

tard....

[Everlast909]

sorry if i asked a question...assbag

[cheeseboat15]

A few grand for a decent one. Car company's use ones that cost at least 25 thousand each (chicken scratch for them)

[Everlast909]

o so basically i have no hope of getting one

[cheeseboat15]

I didn't say that

Try ebay

[tornadotrap]

sweet metal jello

[skaterdeclan]

yeah but welding is sweet in real time too :P

[koas123xxx]

sweet

[crapper1]

woah thats just wild

[allthewaytothetop]

AKAeric,

What kind of filter did u use for the camera? Looks way cool! trying to make a video of my own.

Thx.

[Kotorus618]

arc welding is so fun :)

[CheeseBon]

and now imagin that being the universe as we know it, simply a reaction of elements and energy. only so small and sped up, it looks like welding :O

[Cyanocobalamin]

:O indeed.

[ziadel]

is that globular or short arc transfer?

[derv206385]

i weld everyday and didn't even realize how cool i would look in slow mo! awesome lol

[CamiloSanchez1979]

do you really>? how's the business here in the US. In Colombia you make a fortune welding.

[marek0086]

damn thats cool! I love this shit

[arabjoyroad313]

i love welding

[Aeryk333]

Amazing colors too. Strange that the molten metal doesnt seem glowing while it actually does.

[petejt]

Wow!

cool to watch it in slow motion

[purplehazeinbrain]

Wow...

[thewelderdude]

almost looks like aluminum being welded.

[kylemonkey]

reffered to as globular transfer. i would like to see spray transfer

[stevenlap]

The puddle sloshing about is molten metal, it is got that hot by the current, welding books show something like steel dripping from the rod to the metal being welded, it is molten by then and mixes with the thing being welded, both a molten and it mixes together. Sort of.

[theninthtopaz]

can any1 here tell me what is welding? i dont get it

[serkank77]

The process of joining metal surfaces by heating them in a forge until they are slightly molten, then hammering them together on the anvil. Good forge welds are very strong, beadless, and may be impossible to detect with the naked eye, from googles definitions

[marek0086]

its an arc or mig welder being used. Nothing is being welded together......just showing what is actually happening at the tip.

[dnnykly]

Groan...

[guidorch]

Como te quedo el ojo T-1000...

[jeepjunkie97]

this is deff a stick welder cause a arc welder just melts the two pieces of metal together without adding metal unless the gap is to far to bridge across in that case you just add a lil off yout wire piece but in this clip he is just holding it in one place. and a mig would be a thin constant stream of molten steel because migs have a wire feeding system that pushes the wire pretty fast. but in this clip it drips like when you burn a candle stick which makes me believe it is a stick.

[my83merc]

awesome vid! love the HSC stuff. Helps me understand how the whole arc welding thing works! thanks!

[EazyDesigns]

For those that don't realize it...any kind of welding that uses electricity to cause an ARC would be considered ARC welding. This includes stick, MIG, TIG etc...Class Dismissed!

Kool video though

[rashean123]

and i bet one of u (u know who) was stupid enough not to read the message on the side of the video that said.A.R.C WELDING

[rashean123]

thats not stick welding otherwise there would be a consistent flame, thats arc welding, as you can see the current arcing back and fourth and melting it, normal welting would be a constant blue, or orange flame

[frosty956]

excelent video!

[henrxxx26]

electrode;)

[ShadowWorks]

That is great and explains alot, its stick welding, i know realise the arc heats the grounded metal and melts the rod and this is why we get the round droplets which are the welds, fantastic!

[cheeseboat15]

Too bad you have no idea what you are talking about. If you knew anything about welding at all, you can tell from the video that 25% of the heat is at the base metal and 75% is at the electrode. It is not the base metal that causes the piece to heat up. The heat is from the constant adition of molten filler metal fusing with the basemetal. The heat is so high because of the plasma and the confinement of the heat from the shielding gas. The polarity being used is DCRP.

[cheeseboat15]

This is directed at ShadowWorks.

Please, for the sake of all of us, learn what you are talking about before you spew your jaded knowledge to the masses. People like you are the cause for injury in the field as well as stupid people such as yourself. I suggest you try some shotgun mouthwash. It helps cure the problem

[clearfox7]

xD shotgun mouthwash very good, I'll have to remember that one

also i'd like to add that too ny people like to feel that they are smarter than everyone else so kudos to you for putting ShadowWorks in his lowly dumbass place

[adamsonline]

its either an arc or mig - the rod conducts the electricy and the arc melts the rod into the surface - very cool video.

[ExplodingTeeth]

Hm..My bet is on mig welder..

[sonic1891]

looks like the stick welder i used in class today

[cheeseboat15]

Hey there. I'm here to answer your question. That is a MIG (or as it's properly called Gas Metal Arc welding. GMAW for short) welder. One way you can tell mig from stick is smoke. Unless you are using flux core mig wire, there will be no smoke.

The type of MIG welding that is being done is called short arc. The electrode shorts out on contact with the base metal. This forms a plasma column that supports the arc as it continues to drop filler and heat it, shorting from 20 to 200 times a second

[TrentJMills]

Whoa :S  lil confusing
