This video will show you how to weld a 2g horizontal test plate with a mig welder gmaw and pass it along with how to cut out the pieces and bend them also how to scarf off the backing strip. In the part with the torch it looks like the flame is not set correctly but it is, it just does not pick up well on the camcorder If you have any how to requests on anything in general let me know ill be happy to make a video for you

  • that would NEVER pass a guided bend test!

    short circuit transfer may look good, but it WILL fracture if you cut coupons out of that and bend them

    listen to the guys that have recommended spray transfer

    that's why GMAW is not used much fro anything structural (aside from fitting)

    * remember to use at least 85% argon in your shielding gas mix to achieve a spray transfer

    good luck

  • watch parts 2 and 3 u will see i bend it and it comes out perfect

  • lol @ every video has comments like "that would never pass test where I work".. .

    No matter what someone does there's always gunna be someone saying you did it wrong. period.

    I'd bet the majority of critics can't do half as well.

  • typical fuckin yanks. TWI motherfuckers!!!

  • CRAP CRAP CRAP. DONT TRY TEACHING SOMETHING YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO DO. DONT TRY TEACHING WHEN YOUR IN A WELDING PROGRAM. REMOVE THIS VIDEO PLZ!!!

  • geez lots of people are bossy with welding techniques on youtube. maybe the worst subject for trolls yet.

  • la terminacion no es prolija.

  • @49bluesman have you done a test like this? that comment makes me think not

  • I am a welding instructor and a welding inspector in Toronto.

    I am a CWB qualified welder in GMAW in the horizontal position done in spray transfer.

    I'm also all-position qualified (flat/horizontal/vertical-up& overhead) in GTAW, SMAW & FCAW!

    Not sure where you are from but you don't know what you're talking about in regards to testing in Canada to the CSA Standard W47.1 & W59. There is no pre-qualified joint testing in GMAW for vertical or overhead.

    I never mentioned anything about vertical s

  • @welderbones

    you dont use spray transfer for any other position then flat...

    i dare you to make a vertical test plate using spray transfer...

    this guy was right to use short circuit transfer for his horizontal test

  • @TheMartinto Practice until your hands move smooth and steady.

  • why do you run it backhand?does it make it flater?

  • @redneckman454 Is this flux?
