Vertical down uses high welding currents and fast travel speeds to make joints with several small beads. This method is fast and economical on pipe 1/2" and under wall thickness. Most cross country pipelines are welded with the vertical down technique.
@vakhi201 i'm not familier with the electrodes but i know what u mean. My tip for u is that u try scratch the electrode against the metal, when u Get a spark just lift it abit so it wont stick to the metal. Works fine for me :) and the recomended amperage usually shows on the pack, but u have to find out what u like the best, all depending on what type of metal it is ur welding, the thickness and most importantly what speed ur welding at
Vertical up uses low currents, slow travel speeds, usually low hydrogen electrodes, to produce joints with relatively few large weld beads. Since there are fewer beads to clean, the cleaning time is reduced giving the vertical up method a speed advantage over vertical down.The low hydrogen electrode and slow travel speed of vertical up welding help eliminate gas holes.Vertical up welds are best able to meet the x-ray requirements for high pressure, high temperature or low temperature piping.
I've never understood the whole stringers vs weave argument personally. I mean I understand controlling the heat input to reduce the heat affected zone, but if you think about it if I can get say 1/2" plate open root welded in 3-4 passes, I'm done with it, vs say 9-10 passes with stringer method how does that put less heat into the joint? Assuming both is made at the same amperage as heat input is figured by watts and time taken to complete the weld. I've welded both methods and passed xray on both. I've cut and etched both and there isn't much of a difference in grain structure. Personally i think stringers have a greater risk of slag inclusions as it's harder to clean since its not as flat and lack of fusion at the tie ins.
Hahahaha they're some massive weaves!!! Thing is, weaving crystallised the grain structure and makes it brittle. Stringer beads heat treat the previous bead. I always clean my steel and burn a 7018 straight in with a triangle technique. Best way 👍🏼🇬🇧
I have a question regarding starting E6010 electrodes. It was the first time I welded stick. I noticed that starting it was really difficult as compared to 7018. My question is what are the reccomended amperage settings for 3/32 6010 electrodes. It would start and then stick and literally cook until it was black and smoke. Curious on how to fix that.
This is probably the BEST vertical up video I've seen anywhere on the web! REALLY GOOD ARC SHOTS REALLY GOOD TECHNICAL INFO Some of the reasons why I just "prefer" Lincoln products!
Fantastic weld. I'm still using a 1950's Lincoln bullet set. It beats the modern kit on reliability anytime. It cost me £30.00 20 years ago. Do you think I was robbed?
@lincolnelectrictv I'm doing a 3G butt joint open root on 1" thick plate. It isn't a test. I did the root pass & the hot pass w/7018. My instructor told me I have to do stringer beads. I'm welding uphill & I'm using your 1/8" Excalibur rods. the machine I'm using is a Lincoln idealarc 250, it's not a digital machine. What should I set my amperage on when using 1/8" 7018 when doing stringer beads, what should my arc length be, & rod angle; upward angle or or straight, I'm getting mixed messages.
We used special polarizers and Neutral Density filters on our cameras to get these shots. Our New 4C Lens has very similar clarity at 1-1-1-1 and closer to actual arc and puddle color.
I have a Viking 3350 with a 4c lens and the clarity is UNMATCHED!!!! I've used the Miller digital elite and it blows it out of the water. I have to say lincoln has outdone itself with this one!!!
I have a question, just welded some beam with 7018, flat fillet welds and was fighting the rod a bit, thought they may have been a bit wet but found out at the end my cables were reversed (no thanks for great help). So any way was curious of my final weld internal quality, outside looks great besides some spatter issues. I'm and experienced welder and was running 5/32 @ 180amps Thanks
I'd love to see a 7028 electrode being used. as well as a 7024. in fact, I'd love to see all of lincoln electrodes being used in different positions with the three standard sizes.
+shexdensmore Thanks so much for your interest in Lincoln electrodes. Making those videos would be a great tool and we thank you for the interest. We have a lot of video requests at the moment but will do our best to try and get some videos on different electrodes in use and the end result.
+lincolnelectrictv i notice that there's 3 black markings on them. what does that mean? i also found 7018 fleetwelds at a farm equipment store, what's the difference between the fleetwelds and the Excaliber's?
+shexdensmore The three dots are a Lincoln Trademark. They are a symbol of Lincoln Dependability. See the cover of the attached brochure.The dots were green on electrodes that can be used on a AC225. Also, There is an app in the app store called the Weld Parameter Guide by Lincoln Electric. Very good tool for determining weld parameters for every process.
Aside from the instructional aspects of this video, I'm curious about the non viking filter lens that was used for recording the arc shots. The viking is all green, the other looks like real view. Anyone know what filter lens being used to record the arc shots? Boy, if there is a welding helmet out there that can provide that view, I'm sold.
Theres a video on our YT page on the 4C Lens. You'll be amazed at the clarity. As far as the camera, it was a production camera and a LOT of lighting and gels. Its not a situation we can create on a consistent basis.
There is no problem welding E7018 electrode on DC- polarity. The product is qualified for DC+,DC-,and AC welding polarity. The difference is the transfer of heat between the electrode and base metal. The mechanical properties will be very close to the same.
Will Lincoln sell the Excalibur rods to Mexico? I have a generic AC buzz box, but the 7018 rods over here are DC only and I would rather use the Excalibur rods which are supposed to be AC/DC.
+Luis Moreno Thanks for your question Luis. We have a couple options for you. First, try our online store: store.lincolnelectric.com. The Excalibur 7018 rod in the online store is an AC rod but I'm not sure if that's what you need. Or you can private message us and let us know where you are located so we can get you in touch with the correct sales rep.
Thank you, I'll keep in touch. I probably shouldn't give too many details about my location here, but I live not too far north of the Federal District or nation's capital. Also, the Excalibur 7018 rods are most certainly what I need for cast iron repair or plate steel.
One thing I personally don't like is that the beads are way too wide,according to the book a good bead shouldn't be 3times larger than the electrode ,in this case the electrode is 1/8so the widest should be 3/8 and that is really pushing the code .some inspectors won't pass a bead than wide
I havent found a decent stringer technique on YT yet. I just want to practice on flat steal, no corners, butt joints, or overlap. Just learning vertical up w/7018 and having not such a good time. I just cant seem to get it. My flat welds look fabulous, but my vertical ups are embarrassing. :(
Get porosity when first arcing up with LowHys wether theyre moist or not. Thats why you (should) always arc up in front of where you're welding, come back and start then weld over the spot where you arced up
Matt Challenor I've never understood the thinking behind this. weaving I can get the weld done in 3 passes. Whereas with stringers it might take 9 passes to get that same weld size. heat input is figured by watts times the time taken to weld. I've cut and etched a 7018 fillet as as had both methods pass xray and let me tell ya the grain structure isn't much different. if anything all the tie ins leave a greater risk of lack of fusion when you tie in each pass, as well as greater risk of slag inclusions as the stringer bead isn't as flat as the weave bead. It's harder to clean. But that's my opinion
its seems that Lincoln shies away from AC and Miller does not , I prefer welders which give a greater range of DC polarity and AC . In fact on the farm rust is on everything and AC seems to cut thru the mess so If I had a DC only welder I would not e able to fix much.
djyul actually the max is 8×diameter, but if using a 1/8 rod i personally find 1/2 inch to be the upper limit for best results. Still 1 inch is possible and permissible depending on the code youre welding to

I am really surprised that Lincoln Electric is still teaching the weave technique. This technique has been proven to create porosity in the weld bead. The only way to eliminate porosity 100% is to use the stringer bead technique with no weave at all.
+bobsweldingvt I am really surprised that you would still teach the 'stringer' technique. This technique has been proven to cause incomplete penetration on the toes of the weld bead. The only way to ensure 100% penetration is to use slight manipulation of the stringer bead. This technique will ensure penetration at the toes of the weld as opposed to no weave at all.
bobsweldingvt where are you getting your facts cause I've passed over 100 vertical and over head weave bend test along with 5g pipe so no. You can get porosity in any form of welding
Lincoln , mILLER is far behind such companies as Kemppi Lorch EWM Fronius.you make very good sources for automats but when it comes to manual welding, you are behind

If i weld those wide weaves on these skyscrapers here in new York city the welding inspector goes nuts.They want all stringers.
That’s what I’m saying. No more that 2x the rod diameter

thanks you lincoln electric group
Really impressed by the close up where you clearly see the electrode, the puddle and the material. How is that possible to film?
Real fast side to side, dont stop in the Miedle. Not to high, and not to low amperage. Keep it straight.😉
What are the setting set on the machine for uphill 7018 Excalibur??
preheat and post heating, prepping and assesing the job, go with welding like that.
soopa skills
Probably should’ve split that big first pass with 2 on top
best arc shots ever.

Mark Stone hold your toe back n forth. Don't let slag trip u up hold your toe

if you're getting porosity your rods are moist.
Get porosity when first arcing up with LowHys wether theyre moist or not. Thats why you (should) always arc up in front of where you're welding, come back and start then weld over the spot where you arced up
that's important technique w/ the chipping hammer too don't be slamming on your weld scrape it off or use a file or wire wheel
que cordon es: en ocho, media luna o zig zag
Wire wheel all day bro. You wanna brush every weld when you got a electric tool? Get out of the Stone Age
The scallops in that bead may build up stress in a vibratory or high stress environment. They look nice on a practice piece though.
Way too big, haz would be massive. Should use stringers on a weld of that size.

Rust doesn't move AC or DC. Get good rods..
1st time when i do this my eyes get me more tears and irritated i don't know if i will continue to finish my welder job :'(
Are you looking through a welding lens? You need eye protection, or a welding hood!!

try to see an eye doctor it happen to me long time ago now am use prepcription glasses
I made it today exactly the way u move

This gives learners a bad example.
