Gas Metal Arc Welding Vertical Uphill and Downhill

[oilfieldwelder1]

I am looking for information for flux core 3g and 4g carbon plate test on a 3/8" just guessing on size since I don't know the information on the test other than its a 3g and 4g on flux core just need to know the volts and wire speed for 3g and 4g. I know that you can't go downhill on flux core for 3g. any information would be appreciated.

I noticed on one of your G3 vertical up welding your root pass is vertical down. Is that allowed when taking your test. I have always found it much easier to go down than to go up.

Thanks Mike

Thanks for sharing these tips. I'm currently having some trouble with my vertical uphill welds. I'll put this stuff into practice tommorow.

Hold the toes!

[7runningwolf7]

can u try a single bead

[tigwelder33]

what kind of welder are you using miller, Lincoln?

[Shredmastakaos]

Man, whenever I vertical weld it goes everywhere!!! hahaha.

Nothing that can't be fixed with a grinder :)

He said "penetration"...he..he..he..!

[Nissan570sx]

@TheSolofalcon1 Lol, reminds me of my welding class, all under 21 years old... so of course when teach said "ok, to get complete penetration in the butt joint...." all everyone hears is "complete penetration in the butt" it's like this everyday haha

wow is that 1/4 plates? i weld 3/16 at 18.3 today and i had to go realllyyy slower

[finklesk]

great info! thank you

[fishtazone]

Very nice. Love your videos

[seb2k2k]

[foxnotch]

[thiagosenan]

me gusto welding

[killakris786]

your awesome

[glitchTF]

I'm doing this in my school right now, hard stuff.

settings (im from sweden): MAG/arc 5.1m/sec 17.5amp Mison-18 15litre/min

this video helped alot! ;)

[glitchTF]

@glitchTF 17.5 volt i think it is, not amp

[hulchuyou]

@glitchTF

I think thats more gas you need..

Usually I go with 5 - 7 l/min and seems to be enough. (mison 18)

ofc filled wires require more gas but I go with regular 0.8mm wire so gas settings should be enough.

all this cos gas is expensive.. 200bar fill about 120-140eur in finland nowadays :/

try some back stepping when downhill and you can get a real nice looking weld... almost looks like its been tig welded

[prolinegod]

Great video great camera shots best on you tube welding vids.

[eduardo14l]

thank you im gonna try this in school tomorrow

[fyrdawg589]

I would assume that the root pass is a filler or foundation with which to go back and lay a heavier weave pass on top of thus ensuring a stronger weld?

[DisturbedTurtlee]

Awesomeness.

[shodanxx]

what is a root pass and a weave pass? and what other kinds of passes that exist and what are their purposes

can you expand on that ?

also is there a way to anneal or stress relieve a weld in-place using maybe an oxy-fuel torch and an insulator like fiberglass batts ?

thanks, your videos are awesome

would you comments on other's people video and explain the good and bad practives you observe ?

[azwags]

Clear explanation, great shots! Thanks, Jody!

[racepak]

hi man, can you do a video on tig welding in extremely tight places like exhaust collectors and such?

thanks

[mrwiggles2]

Just a great video.

[2alejandro2008]

Thanks Jody GREAT! as usual

(non-ETOPS)

[fyrdawg589]

really glad to see MIG again in the series

[johnvychodil]

Thanks mate, great vid as always. Just wanna ask you if you could make uphill downhill stick weld video or could recommend one.

Thanks and keep it up.

[arcinandsparkin]

Another great video. The close-up is pretty instructive, and nice to see the setup parameters.

[ghettokid48706]

justna qusetion when you do the c kinda paattern when welding do you cover some of your slag and making it a weaker weld ... i was always taught in school to do a z type pattern so you dont cover your slag

[81aturner]

@ghettokid48706 What slag its mig?

[dudemancalidude]

i was wondering how many amps...

[SsjSned]

ever use or make a copper welders spoon? no videos on it maybe you could touch on some tips and tricks about using one.

[Trex1268]

Love the channel!! Looks like a much better filter for the camera. I can see much better than some of the other videos.

[sparky7071]

I agree with all the comments, great vids! Keep em coming!

[bozzza69]

Another awsome video keep up the good work these are so sooooooooooo helpfull

Thanks jody

[hddm3]

[freddytk421]

Great video. I need to practice that stuff.
