How to stick weld: open root v groove butt joint 3G vertical up

This video should help explain some of the techniques I like to use to weld an open root v-groove weld with 6010's for the root pass and 7018's for the filler and cap. This video can also be applied to pipe applications.

Umm..I can't believe how many morons are posting that you suck at welding. First off you have to consistently fail destructive tests, X-Ray examinations, and etc to be considered wether or not you suck at welding. By visual inspection I don't see any porosity, undercut is below 10% of base metal, no slag, welds are clean, your welds don't appear to exceed more then 1/8 of an inch passed the groove opening. Your welds look pretty good to me! Thanks for the video bro keep up the good work!

Thanks for the encouragement Justin. I picked up the PowerMTS 250S and man its a great welder. I tried stick welding and that was pretty cool but I think I still prefer mig welding. The welder came with a tig torch so I'm going to try that process soon.

I'm going to have to try this when I next break out my powerarc. Thanks for the tips.

had to be someone who went to welding school....talks a big game but straight failed in my book....i honestly have to say that you CAN tell by the look of root,hot pass,and cap if you have how this guy says like an inctructor 100 %fusion....your root looked awful hotpass was hot...cap was uneven and cock eyed...keep up the shitty work

u talk like u know wtf ur talking about, ur root sucks bro, u dont know how to restart, and hotpass was undercut like a mother fucker, and ur caps look like shit, not a good weld, this would fail an x ray on the fuking quicks, maybe ur pass a bend test, but ur visual sucks, so maybe they wont even bend ur shit

[TheDieselboyz]

dog this fukn weld sucks bro, idk why ur trying to have his back, shitty root, doesnt even know how to do restarts, undercutted his hotpass, wasnt uniform, and caps r the easiest part of the weld in this type of v groove , and it still looks like shit, hes sucks bro u just never seen a good weld before

[Sebastian Adams]

Did he say what dig setting he used on that everlast welder?

[Bronwyn Green]

Down welding generally produces a weld with little fusion; the whole point of this weld is 100% fusion so that when you bend test it, it has no structural compromise.

Hey great vid! I am currently going to school for welding and I and working on my structureal AWS cert, but I am hung up on this weld, why do you travel up hill instead of down with 6010?

[andres angel]

I would like to do it with pipe in position 45 degrees anchor with 6010 and hot pass 7018 by ASME presentation I want to learn more of the fears of pipe
