How to Use an Arc Weld : Electrode Care & Maintenance for Arc Welding Machine

[booyakasha69696969]

i didnt know santa knew anything about welding

[MrAnmoool]

Hello sir,

I Want to know about the detial of all electrode number

Please tell me about that

[JAG9100]

thats a pretty small rod dryer.

[J800613]

christ these videos are garbage. wet 7018 will cause porosity but the main reason to keep them warm and dry is to prevent underbead cracking from the hydrogen contained in water. also ALL rod should be keep sealed from the atmosphere. side note: proper angles 90degree work angle/15degree travel angle more if running vertical up.

kids, if you want to learn how to weld get some good old books, and few pounds of rod and a good lincoln dc machine and do it.

[hanghoodiescum]

its rolf harris again must have been sacked off animal hospital

[jon9879]

i really really wish you could have taught my welding class, my teacher was more like this guy

[TurbulentG]

@J800613 shut up you fucking muppet 90 degree working angle wtf its a 45 degree angle tillted 30 degrees to the right and you drag the electrode

[J800613]

@TurbulentG hey assface, what the hell did i do? it would be awesome if you could form proper sentences. "wtf is a 45 degree angle tilted 30 degrees to the right and you drag the electrode" you obviously don't know what the work angle or the travel angle are, and since you are trying to be a wiseass i'm not gonna tell ya.

oh, and the word muppet is actually a registered trademark of jim hensen. but if i am a muppet can i be the swedish chef? bork bork cocksucker.

[johhnyfasnazzy]

@J800613 "bork bork cocksucker" fucking hilarious. you owned that guy.

[TurbulentG]

@TurbulentG go on please enlighten me im a fabricator use Mig/Mag, Tig, Electrode, gas welding u name it mate if ur welding into a 90 degree angle u hold it half way in between it wich is 45 degrees yes !!.... yes and u hold it 20-30 degrees tilted to the right yes !!... yes and "pull" or drag the electrode u dont push it

[Hollowminder]

good video, but Portholimu, your right, kind of, its 70000psi of properly completed weld, so every square inch of good weld hold 70000 lbs

[wiggles623K]

FLUX! HAHAHA

[AlexMadsen87]

ask a welding engineering technician anything......reply to this...

this is not expert lol

[Portholimu]

yeah it's the tensile strength of the deposited weld metal not the wire, and its in the oven because it's low hydrogen. haha

this is James by the way

[jmackman]

LOL LISTEN WHEN HE SAYS '''FLUX'' sounds like something nasty

[Greathome2]

i didnt know that

[MRSketch09]

Great video.

I can see why keeping that porosity in the weld down.. in construction, such as buildings and bridges.. would be critical

Don't want to be crossing one and it collapse underneath you.. .

[jamialonnes]

thnx

[zippther]

Not bad it is informative but still very basic. You need to get out their do it. I mean come on how many service trucks or job sites are going to have an oven just for there rods?

[dasgemuse]

if 6011 is ac/dc and 6010 is dc, what is 7018.. ac or dc?

[CoLPluto]

Low hydrogen-potassium (EXXX6). The coatings in this class of electrodes are similar to the low-hydrogen type mentioned above. However, iron powder is added to the electrode, and if the content is higher than 35 to 40 percent, the electrode is classified as an (EXX18).

it doesn't really help but it tells you what the 18 means at least

[Cadams84]

For best results use 7018 DCEP.

[Darkgod171990]

I agree with lumberjay78, go through apprenticeship in a union, they treat apprentices real well.

[Frank12391NL]

thank you, Mac the super welder

[cmgmotorsports]

yeah at least now i know what the number in the electrode means

[TheLightningStalker]

Well, that explains the pinholes in my 7018 welds.

[lumberjay78]

ya'll need to lear how to weld the real way. get ur dick skinners in a union and get trained. this shit is the basic's. learn the real stuffl.

[trawfazzz]

I loved these Videos. Learned a bunch. Thank you for doing this

[shodanxx]

do you have to store them in the oven at all times ? or just for a certain period before use ?

[CoLPluto]

most of the time they have storage cylinders that do the same thing. the oven keeps the moisture evaporated from the flux. too much moisture and the flux wears out. you can get the cylinders cheap and they do the same thing. they're air tight.

[DECIMATOR76]

MM INTERESTING! thank u professor!

[pasto76]

using the rod oven is also about the diffusable hydrgen atoms that will come from the water. These molecules will migrate say, to an area of undercut and cause a crack.

Also the tensile strength of the electrode is in pounds PER SQUARE INCH, which he forgot to mention.

[garbageblahblah]

so uhh..the last number, what types of fluxes are there, cuz i got an E6011

[dryice0002006]

6011 is the same as 6010 for the most part. only major difference is that 6010 is a DC only rod and 6011 is AC/DC. they are also a fast freeze rod meaning the bead turns solid almost instantly.

[garbageblahblah]

thanks that really helped, :) *thumb up*

[StuehlerReese]

This guy knows his stuff :P
