You are obviously an excellent welder. You are also an excellent instructor. Good work. Keep it up. (I’ve been welding and instructing for 55yrs so I recognize excellence when I see it.)
I got thrown into stainless 3g at a new job I struggled hard in the morning and watched your video at break time I got commendable in the next few hours and weld crew example in days. Keep burning bro, you are a great welder and helped me personally. Love the message and what you do. IWL8
This man's tuitional skillls are exceptional, listen very carefully and you'll become a top-flight welder. I noted that this rod runs very similar to flux-core wire. Key point of welding is ; look after the sides and the centre takes care of itself.' In 99% of all instances😉
Those rods are expensive. Practice costs $$$, but once you get the hang of it, you will make some beautiful welds. I like this rod. It goes on smooth, sounds good and doesn't spit dingleberries. The end product looks like jewellery.
What kind of problems were u getting? Because I keep getting slag right down the middle ever 5th rod or so. I think I was weaving to wide but I still get the slag every once in a while
Eldinf stainless with these rods is a completely different cat to skin than welding on just carbon. It's a lot wetter, and a lot hotter. Great video and great information
Thanks for the info on starts. It's a little bit like how I strike a 7018 ver. Guess I was doing the 309 wrong, looking forward to trying this technique. For anybody that's practicing I had a few old timers tell me whip from side to side and count; one two three. Lays in super tight! (If you need a mental guide to go by.)
Thanks for the tips. I'm in a welding class for my job and having a damn hard time with this 309 stuff. Been at it hard for 3 days and I just can't get it to look decent
Taking a test next week on stainless. I've NEVER welded stainless, your vids helped me pass my last jobs test. I'm super nervous about it since I never did stainless and dont know the heat. All I know is I'm using 3/32 and 1/8 rods. Any advice is desperately needed. Test is on Tues of next week.
I have a carbon tube with some kind of coarse textured coating and a stainless flange so I hope this works out. I’ve tried some practice pieces, but now it’s go time. I’m goin in; wish me luck.
Nice one Hjalmar. I use 312l-16 rods a fair bit and those are a b*tch to run in position just like 309. Flat and horizontal no problem, but vertical up and overhead if you don't do it right you get a lot of slag incusions.
I always thought I had done something really wrong and I was being punished when I had to run 309 vertical. You did a fine job, looked as good as any I've seen and better than I've done myself. By the way, what did you do wrong? Good video!
Can you still get proper penetration with the zig zag method here? I passed my visual test the other day but failed penetration and one of my instructors told me it was due to the zig zag technique, so I was told to use the triangle shape to weld but it's just not clicking. Welding 308 on carbon steel
i gotta run this on a pipe test this week. not looking forward to it. never ran it and the pipe i gotta weld is massive. atleast i know it can be welded well. thanks for the vid
Where do you have the dig set? And are you E+ or E-? Your welds look great. I will be testing in the next couple of days for 3F and 4F carbo to carbon with 309L. Just looking for any pointers
The rod must get red hot like that due to the higher resistance/lower electrical conductivity of the rod itself? Great video, thanks a lot for making it.
Awesome video as usual also with stainless stick welding vertical up another weave pattern for that process is the triangle weave it prevents slag entrapment plus it ties the weld toes in really nice ,plus put some safety glasses on stainless rod slag likes to pop off 🤕🤕🤕
For me it was Tuesday. Those were probably Lincoln's red Baron rods if I recall after the grade of rod ex: 309-16 or 309-15 the -16 runs better than the -15 vertical up it makes a big difference
Another great video. Watch out for that stainless slag buddy. It will ping off without warning and get you wherever you stand - usually on your lips! Ouch.
Stainless steel slags are different from mild steel slag. I was welding stainless once and the slag popped and hit my eye once, wasn't that serious, i had to wash it off with some water but definitely something to keep in mind of the next time i weld stainless. But then again always wear safety goggles when beating slag off.
@@JarrenW83 I couldn't agree more. Safety specs when chipping slag. In fact, at all times really. I'm not a safety Nazi,but a welder is not of much use if he/she can't see.
@@catabaticanabatic3800 you've never met a boiler maker then. I know 2 who can make the strongest prettiest welds I've ever seen without even being able to see the weld location.
@@catabaticanabatic3800 just to be clear, they aren't blind. They are just used to welding in tight places where you can't get your head to be able to see the weld location
We usually tig stainless pipe at our shop. But sometimes we stick weld but all of the experience welders tell me that doing stainless stick welding in the vertical position is a no-no. Only flat or horizontal. Is this true? Cause obviously you can do vertical based on this guy's welds
I'm trying to learn and want to start with some exhaust pipe. I'm worried the exhaust pipe may be 409 stainless and I'm welding mild steel parts to it, so wanted to try with 3/32" 309l rods. Someone suggested 6011 but I'm worried the welds may be weak. Does my idea make sense?
I have a question hope you answer it ❤️ If im going to make a groove weld in stainless steel plates. ,.,do I need to put a root face on it?just a little bit curious, Because I experienced to weld aluminum plates ..it doesn't need. - I love to watch your tutorials looking forward on it 🔥👩🏭 You inspired me ..a lot 🤦

That rod is the insecure friend whos actually really beautiful... You just have to knock it up side the head a so you can get it to see the beauty thats underneath it all
really EXPENSIVE RODS, too bad you have to throw 1/3 away.....can you use those pices when they cool off for tacking, or does over heting ruin them....beutiful looking weld!
im courious what the penetration would be, not saying it didnt, but to compare to a 7018, i have alot of 309 rods laying around and id like to know how they compare. thnx
I have to weld some 304SS thats only about 2mm thick for a hobby project I'm working on... Ive never welded in my life 😅 Something tells me I should go practice with some 6013 and mild steel first after watching this. Should be interesting
@@weldtube thanks for the tutorial on this hard ass stainless stick rod. dude I busted a test for Wyatt October of 2017 cuz of this f##@rod we welded our first set of plate test with 7018 then they said second set was with stainless stick .😑 this video was real helpful but can you do a video on this rod in the 4G position
how is the root penetration ? looks like its not too deep fusion in the root. i dont really know im just curious. looks like it barely fused but probably good enought

Stainless stick welding has taken me years to learn and it always surprises you. Seems like it's always a battle.

Man this is so true. Wish someone laid it out that simple for me when I started out.
This is the best 309 uphill tutorial 🙏🏿👨🏾🏭💰🤙🏿
I once ran S.S.stick for 3 months! After that got on a 7018 job , your 7018 will look awesome
Those rods are expensive. Practice costs $$$, but once you get the hang of it, you will make some beautiful welds. I like this rod. It goes on smooth, sounds good and doesn't spit dingleberries. The end product looks like jewellery.
You are a natural instructor. Great job.
I’ve ran this rod before and kept getting problems. Later realized all the complications with iit. This video further supports that. Good stuff here.
What kind of problems were u getting? Because I keep getting slag right down the middle ever 5th rod or so. I think I was weaving to wide but I still get the slag every once in a while
I know that Tig has it's place,,, but look at the colour of those puddles!!
The color is instantly gone once you hit it with a stainless wire brush.
Eldinf stainless with these rods is a completely different cat to skin than welding on just carbon. It's a lot wetter, and a lot hotter. Great video and great information

I wish y'all had a 309 4F position t-joint. This was sick though bro. You make it look easy.
Good workmanship! As you said gotta use it ,to weld to carbon steel to stainless.
Thanks for the tips. I'm in a welding class for my job and having a damn hard time with this 309 stuff. Been at it hard for 3 days and I just can't get it to look decent
this channel is the best welding I've been able to find on youtube
Very good information!
This guy is very professional!!
Thanks
This rod welds like tig it’s so beautiful!
Dude I been trying to weld vertical with these rods for about a year. 5 min after this vid. Got it. Thanks.
309 is a mix-rod for welding stainless steel against carbon steel. Totally love it!
Kaka, wewe ni fundi sana. Nashukuru sana kwa maelekezo yako yanayonijenga kila siku na hakika nimejifunza mengi sana
I’m in this damn rise bin right now working a shutdown trying to run these damn rods for the first time! Thanks bro these rods definitely lie to you
Definitely learned too much in this. Have to watch again because it’s such a different beast. I love learning about welding though!
Coded welder here form Philippines.👍👍you weld fantastic man. Keep it up.
I love welding stainless stick, nice job
In stainless school now for multipass stainless. Thanks for the help

I need to get this ged so I can start working man!! Love from Corpus Christi, tx!
You'll get there, I think about getting there myself every time I go to welding school myself and put on that hood
Very interesting. This is the first time I've seen this rod used. Thank you for sharing this with us. Dan
I love those colors!!! I need to get some of those electrodes... so curious now. Great video my friend 👌👍
Thank you man, I really appreciate your instructions, please keep it up.
I have a carbon tube with some kind of coarse textured coating and a stainless flange so I hope this works out. I’ve tried some practice pieces, but now it’s go time. I’m goin in; wish me luck.
this came just in time. Literally doing my first 309s on site tomorrow!
Man you're real slick at it🤙🏾
I always lear something new from you bro thanks for share all this with us
I've found sticking the rod and letting the amps flow thru it a couple seconds, snapping it free and lighting my arc help prevent porosity in my beads
Nice one Hjalmar. I use 312l-16 rods a fair bit and those are a b*tch to run in position just like 309. Flat and horizontal no problem, but vertical up and overhead if you don't do it right you get a lot of slag incusions.
Man, that was hysterical, your voice when you were talking about how you don't like that rod 🤣
I always thought I had done something really wrong and I was being punished when I had to run 309 vertical. You did a fine job, looked as good as any I've seen and better than I've done myself. By the way, what did you do wrong?
Good video!
you are the best welder.
Them colors are beautiful
Looks good brother but a weave is way easier to keep flat than a pipe stringer... I’m hoping you’ll be moving onto stringers in the near future
Greetings from Colombia
they upload very good videos I congratulate them
I use to do a lot of that 309 to get the slag off I used the wire wheel a lot turned out real nice

When can we see 309 in the overhead position?
Thanks a lots.

Saludos desde Venezuela hermano al gremio welding soldadores 💪💪💪💪👍👍👍
weld color looks nice
So glad you did some 309 I as well dislike this rod very much so help full could u do black to stainless as well
Please makes videos on how to weld with 1N12 and 9N10 rods
Must be sweet being able to weld two things at once
??
I tried 309 and its true its very hard to use tnx sir Dan for the tips

Im good at 7018 using the triangle but had trouble doing stainless. Couldn't figure it out.
What brand of stainless Rod were you using?
@@ericnelson8108 Dont remember. They were pink rods that came in a cylinder.
For me it was Tuesday. Those were probably Lincoln's red Baron rods if I recall after the grade of rod ex: 309-16 or 309-15 the -16 runs better than the -15 vertical up it makes a big difference
@@ericnelson8108 They were made by Lincoln. Maybe the was the problem. Hopefully I get to try it again. Thanks for the advice.
Another tip for anyone looking for it. Weld it on straight polarity (same as tig)
It makes you see the puddle a little better 👍🏽
6013 welds best on straight polarity just like 309
I have stick welded 1mm 304 with 316 rods. Made a table about 13 years ago. Still got the table.

What if you can’t run a big weave like that? You need to run a stringer, or have much thinner material?

What type of camera setup do you guys use? It is very clear and i don't think my eyes are that bad, but it look clearer than my helmet.
So how would that work is one piece was SS and the other side was mild steel? tks

How about 316L on schedule 10 pipe?
Let it cool way down in between welds is crucial and run it as cool as you can handle going uphill.
what temperature did you choose for welding in an upright position
