Continued: I found that I could put the pieces of pipe together with "NO" gap and just crank up the heat and jam the rod in tight and move as per required, sometimes faster and sometimes slower.

With NO gap I found that I could also do the root pass up hand, the same idea,by jamming the rod in at the 6 oclock position and drag it all the way up.

It was more awkward to perform but that way still passed all X Rays.

That was just to please the welding inspectors who caught me downhand welding.

Continued: Also if you have to perform the final pass( Cap Pass) with 7018 you have the chance of leaving a little bit of undercut along the edges of the weld.Unless you really focus on getting the back and forth weave just perfect and the temperature just right with your remote control and have your welders helper continually adjusting the current so you can carry the molten bead from side to side in a manner that does not leave any slight under cutting from the 4 oclock to 2 oclock postions

Continued: When the welding codes call for all the passes, including the root pass, to performed "Up Hand" it causes problems because gravity is causing the molten metal bead to "roll" back or downwards and requires more control and manipulation of the welding rod to keep the bead uniform with no "under cut" on the inside of the pipe.

quishypoo: According to the Pressure Vessels Codes, Pipelines, buried under ground, can be welded with 6010 to 7010 welding rods and used for down hand welding of pipelines ...for all passes.

The codes are somewhat of a pain in the ass for welders.

Once you learn to do all your welding down hand ( Every Pass ) with 6010 or 7010 or even 8010 welding rods you come to realize it is the most effective way to weld for many pipe welding applications.

It is easier and it allows for less flaws.

LowkeyallLove: In Canada, Pipeline Rig Welders were making as high a $100.00 CDN per hour.

Celtic67ize: Could be some slag or wagon tracks that need a little bit of attention so dig the rod in a little more by moving it side to side to make sure the slag or wagon tracks are gouged out by the force of the arc.

may i ask how much does he make?
