what amperage are you using

[mdtread]

90 amps or so

[mdtread]

This is not 7018. It is 6010.

[mdtread]

It is probably less than 3/32. I have some metal banding material I use. I doubled a piece of it and tacked it together. The piece is probably 14 inches long by about 1 1/4" wide.

The gap is smaller than 3/32. In this video I was using a 1/8" rod. You could still use the same gap with a 5/32 rod if you crank up your heat or open the gap slightly and lower the amps. The amps on this video was about 90 to 95 on the root and then I came down on the hot pass and cap

Shit weld that thing def ain't passing xray. (Me)

1. You grinded off the first weld, I can tell.

2. Try chipping off your slag before you do a restart.

3. You do shit welds homie.

@mdtread you get way more penetration going up thogh

[ranger6011]

the arc force should float it out anyway. maybee alaskan oil pipeline jobs require certain welding prcedures but for all practical everyday purposes its preferance. i recently had a woodstove that wieghed 3000lbs and change. had to pick it up so i cut a chainlink in half[3/4 inx4in] and welded the pieces to the side of the stove, downhill w 6011 100 amps and when it was raised and moved by a fork, not nicely iether, the pieces of chain link bent and twisted.the welds were fine.single pass too!

[jimmyg34567]

2.15 you should have taken the slag off before you started another run

[barrydino]

its nice to see some different techniques. in college i was mostly taught to weld in a triangle formation (point ponting up) for upill, and same for downhill, (point pointing down) and flick it if its too hot.

[beast36001]

@jedediahbc thats great dad, but maybe he wants to show downhill, ever took a pipeline test?

you know not all pipe tests are all uphill, some mig, fluxcore,,

with the union shit,they would tell you to go wether it was non union too!! dumbass for saying that

think after 35 yrs you would know your shit

[theman4130]

It shocks me to see comments on this thread from people who sound like welders but don't know what the FUCK they are talking about. Seriously!

[dvd0505]

Good weld. How about 6013?

[godsmack8807]

@jedediahbc you must weld for conoco philips cause their test is LH stringer hotpass and cap for pipe any ways their structural test is 8" both in the 6g
