You are the best, thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much brother.
I don't get it, I was under the impression-being new to this, that thick material-like 1/2" would require over 200A.
When you touch his lead at 2:34 and he looks around like "wtf man" 🤣🤣
I know. I crack up every time I see that part. 😂😂😂
I came here just for that
I totally agree with you calling the E7018 rod, The backbone of America. It's built bridges, skyscrapers, pressure vessels, ships and everything else you can think of made of carbon steel. The welds and especially the slag can look like pure hell but the strength and durability is what counts. It can also be a finicky rod to start and can be sticky to get going if the amperage is just a little too low. I use 7018 for everything I make other than sheet metal which I mig. Those are some Fantastic looking beads that gentleman did. He's a pro. Thanks for the video, it's great!
Thanks for watching
One of the main reasons it is so strong is because it burns slow and gives metal a chance to heat up.
90% of the time I used to see people make a ' bad ' ' weak ' weld is where they go too fast of don't pay any attention to heat transfer.
Pause and fill.
7018 is probably where the term "stick" welding came from.
Have they came out with the Teflon tip (no stick) version yet ?
@@workonitm8 haha, yes
2:38 - Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how Jose is busting out welds like a machine without propping his arm or even tucking his elbow against his side. A lot of folks don't realize how hard that is. Even the tiniest movements are exaggerated at the end of a long welding rod like that. Don't believe me? Pick up a ruler by one end and try to hold the other end exactly 1/8" off a surface while moving it... now imagine doing that while the rod is continuously getting shorter.
Its not that hard you're kinda over exaggerated this
Jose approves this message
You have to be a machine.
I did a lot of one- handed MIG welding for many years. I think about it every time I see someone using two.
Of course mig welding is different, you can go all over like scribbling with a pen and still make pretty weld.
Stick welding you have to be a robot.
I promise it’s all the same.
Or just use both hands. What's wrong with it? Welding is not about looking cool. It's about laying down a good bead.
Total pro. Beautiful, crisp arc shots. I really enjoyed watching this weld video! Thank you
This comments mean a lot brother. Thank you so much for dropping this comment and watching. 🫡🦾
I'm not a professional welder, but have taken a years worth of classes many years ago. It's kinda funny how going thru years of college got me into professional career type work, which was stressful but paid well, yet the first thing I find interesting after retirement is going back to the shop where I built things. Engines, trucks, boats, wood, metal, electrical and even electronics were lots of fun to build with my dad those many years ago.
32 years of focusing on the production and research and development of manual arc welding machines, if you are interested, you can take a look at our products
men are being separated from their organic instincts and drivers and being sold an idea of living in a sardine can of a neighborhood and doing soulless computer work for mega corporations. its sad. can't even run an angle grinder in my neighborhood without neighbors being "disturbed" and 95% of men here don't even own an electric drill. they sit inside all day locked into the matrix 😷
❤️❤️❤️👍
7 years in uni doing electronics then computer science. Great job, pays well, it not real work though. I grew up in a time where men built things. I keep a metalwork, woodwork and electronics workshop at home. I don’t think you can fully be a man if you do not create things. Its what makes us human.
@cszrwi for sure bro. I’m always thinking of things I can build. I don’t think I could live my life not building stuff. 🫡
I suspect this wasn’t Jose’s first time welding with a 7018 lol. Great job guys
Thanks brother. I met Jose on my first rig welding job back in 2013. At that time he already had some years under his belt. He’s a great worker. Not just a welder but a fabricator.
A good weld is a thing of beauty, those welds are beautiful
Indeed it is, but it one of those things you really have to try for yourself to really appreciate it.
that first welder was flawless. Great work!
Thanks for watching brother.
Hey just started watching but damn that was some welding just started welding about 3 years ago so I learn new things here and there but watching this guy made me want to do stick welding all over again his whole cover came off so easy it was nice to see that. Keep up the good work got your self a new sub right here 💯
Thank you for the support brother.
No problem keep up the good work it will pay off
If your heat is right, 7018 slag will curl on it's own without chipping.
Makes me smile when I see that.
It is the only filler material that does not require to be tested for critical welding it is that trusted in the industry
Just one handin it like a boss, putting out better welds than most people I've seen in the field. Some people just got it, and this dudes one of them
Jose is definitely a top gun. Been knowing him since I started my career rig welding back in 2013.
For real, I hold the rod like a pencil...lol and still not as stable as this guy
That's some impressive welding fellas. 👍🏽 Great tips.
Thanks brother.
Very nice welding passes! My father was a welder/ pipe fitter. I took a different career path but now that I'm older, I'd like to learn more. My old man liked 6011 and capped it with 7018. He sure could run it down. He died when I was 17. I'd like to learn just as a tribute to him.
You got this brother. 🫡🫡
Love this ❤
@@VantageWelding Why do people use 6010 rather than 6011 in industry?
@@engjdsI believe that most industrial welders are DC. 6011 is more for ac welding, like the old buzz boxes.
@@davedegan12 Interesting, though I can use 6011 or 6010 with my DC machine, know they are both cellulose, but wondered if the welding properties differ, like is 6010 more vicious at removing rust during welding than 6011?
outstanding, thanks for posting, Paul
Thanks for watching.
Back in the day when i welded much more than i do now. My 7018 passes would peel the slag right behind the stick. Now i would have to drink a 12 pack and hold the stinger with both hands to be half that steady.....
Sounds like one hell of a party. 😂💯💯
@@VantageWelding Ain't as good as i once was, but i'm as good once as i ever was....
@@duanehenicke6602 now that is my motto also....
🤣👍so true. When I was younger and shooting competitive pistol/rifle in the military, we called that (the12pk) "group tighteners"! 🍻🤣
The more you had, the better the groups. 🤷♂️
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
probably the best arc shots showing the uphill 7018 weave method I have ever seen. I'm not very good at it so I tend to stick with 6011's on DC+ running downhill.
Thank you. All it takes is a little practice. You got it man!
Great vid, and those verticals... nailed them. Good job and rock on. Greatings from canada.
Thanks bro. I love Canada.
What part are you from?
@@VantageWelding Province of Quebec, small town north of Montreal.
@@krazykanux that’s really cool man. I’d like to go up there soon
Let that 7018 burn man. Unless the 6010 was called for no need for it in structure
If all you got is 7018... Use a torch to make sure the rod is dry and around 150°. To go downhand preheat the weld area to around 300° to 350. Make sure the surface is clean. Run down hand in a zig zag weaving motion keep it tight but bouncy. If the slag gets ahead of you whip it away with the rod and continue your patterning. Machine settings may vary so that is something you will also have to figure out on the fly. You will get really good penetration. Next passes should be uphand after you've allowed the work piece to cool down to around 200°. Do a snake belly pattern on the up hand and don't stall out. Keep moving everything will blend together nicely. And at around 200° starting temp the slag will get the hell out of your way 🥳🤟 and always remember don't get greedy. If the rod starts to blister then stop if the weld zone is too hot then stop. Take your time and plan your moves 👌
Bro. It’s just a stand. Junk iron steel. 😂😂😂
Need some caution tape up for that slipping hazard. Some slick welds bruh. 💯
Thanks brother.
2:32 "I want you guys to pay attention..." (proceeds to not pay attention and messes up his buddy)
Ok
He’ll yeah budd. Thanks for watching.
After 45 years of field welding I retiring at the end of the year. I have welded in -40 to 110° . In places that would have to be seen to be believed.
I believe you. My dad has 35 years in the game so I’ve hear some crazy stories.
Enjoy you’re retirement!!
Can you weld thick stuff with a low current machine? can you mig as well as stick that thick stuff (new to this)?
Fantastic!! Keep up the great work 👍.
Thank you boss. 💯💯
Watched the vid and knew by the way that rod was laying down the weld that is what we call in Australia and New Zealand a low Hydrogen rod. Great job on the vertical ups by the way. Do you ever try the triangle method for doing them?
Sometimes brother. It works well as well. Leaves a different pattern. Thanks for dropping by. Salute from Houston Texas.
Hose A is running this side. Hose B is running the opposite side.
Great work Hose A and B. Country needs more working men like you.
dead steady, and with one hand.
And the rods have a warning about uncontrollable muscles spasms, which is kinda ironic
😂😂😂
I mean he's elbows locked into his side. Pretty common technique lol
Pretty common but I don’t recommend it. Your wrist over time starts to deteriorate due to the weight in the stinger.
Beautiful iv a pacini pro mig 201 ull see it on my channel 350e I can arc weld flux core weld and weld with gas I can even hook up my spool cun converter and I can use dc tig the old school way i rather stick welding rather than flux core just dialing it in in tring get use to cos theres just amps and voltage the wire speed goes up wen u turn up the amps but shave stick welder haven't got the money for gas yet but I rater stick weld you are a savage welder my friend I'm a new subscriber iv a small little 120 anp stick welder from little hobs it's so light iv 3 welders dont tink I'll get a tig that gas any cheap stic welding is my go to with the stuff I bee welding 200amps is better than 120 or that great duty cycle
Thanks for watching. I’ll definitely check out your review. Thank you for stopping by my brother.
How about an English translation?????????????????? ...with proper grammar, to help us understand your thought process, if any...
A question: if the angle of electrode towards the workpiece changes, doesn't it mean that the penetration changes too?
Yes. A good example is when welding old to new. You give yourself more of an angle pointing towards the new piece focusing less heat input into the old.
@@VantageWelding what i meant was the welder in the video with the circumferential weld was not moving himself, yet he welded at least 1/3 of the circumstance which means the angle of the electrode changed during the process
He was definitely moving his wrist around the pipe. Ones body doesn’t have to move as long as your arm and wrist compensate for the correct rod angle.
@@VantageWelding 4:00 and 5:00 obviously different angles towards the bead . I've watched a few times and still seeing it .
@@radiononsense9449 he went from pulling to pushing on his rod
One of the best videos out there breaking down a lot of concepts between 6010 and 7018 rods that are the bedrock of the welding process. Great arc shots and descriptions of the line of sight, positioning, rod angle, starting an arc, and going vertical. Lots to be proud of. So much packed into this one video.
Hey man. Thanks for the positivity. God knows I needed to hear something positive today. Thanks.
Picasso welding. great job.
Thanks brother
@@VantageWelding Um, Picasso's paintings were from a delusional mind.
Argeni's got his artists confused.
God video brother thanks .say hi from Yakima Washington Dragon 777
Well done, it takes practice and patients, calm and relaxed. Looking great welding. Great video of the puddle with the lends too. Great video
Thanks Buzz. Tell Woody I said what’s up.
Nice skill multi run welding
Sweeet visuals of the rod throwing of molten spatter-supper cosmic !
That was great! Also got all that flame coming out, made it look so dramatic.
Can u please explain Why that is.? If 7018 is considered shallow to medium penatration, and 6011 is considered Deep Penatration.! Then i would think 6011 would be used in these kind of heavy duty aplications.?
6011 are usually used with A/C machines. It’s pretty much the same use as a 6010. The rule in structural welding is to not weld with a high cellulose rod due to potential hydrogen cracking. Unless it’s for something that’s not so important such as this stand. I’ve welded 6010 on structural stuff that are still holding to this day, unfortunately our brothers up north have had bad run-ins with high cellulose rods.
To make X Ray quality welds, not only must the welder be skilled, he must have dry high quality welding consumables and a welding machine with a clean DC current output.
I’ve seen unskilled welders pass X-ray and pass bend tests. But yes having a good machine and dry rods always helps
Europe pressure vessel code is TUV. Ours is ASME with section nine for welding. For qualifying my plant to sell into Ireland, thence to rest of Europe. ESAB mig wire and SA285 that had a TUV twin. We were second American to gain TUV approval. I was blessed with two terrific welders who I remember about 36 years later. Everything passed and $4,500 spent compared to an. Earlier effort that failed two years earlier - $45,000 used.
@@VantageWelding a stick test is very forgiving on X-ray and bend test tbh
Depends what’s code you’re testing for. If you’re testing for b31.3 severe and you’re getting xrayed, and welding small bore such as 2”, you can’t get away with anything to be honest. 1104 is really forgiving. And b31.1 and b31.3 is alright. B31.3 severe can be difficult at times
@@larselder874 yeah all mine is ASME also, being a union pipefitter
do a video about E71 T8 wire, like NR233
I will try as soon as I can. I’m gonna have some free time in the coming weeks and will definitely get into it.
Anything you do with Welding starts with position and starting your puddle, that is all, don't be scared of it, make it do what you want it to do
Hey, i just wanted to share the Gospel that all men need, the Bible says all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) this means we all deserve death and separation from a perfect and holy God. But God did not leave us for dead, He sent His only begotten Son to die in yours and my place, so that anyone who believes in Him and repents of sin will be saved from separation from God, and have eternal life! I urge you please put your faith in Jesus Christ and follow Him, He promises to save all who cry out to Him and have a humble heart. We arent guaranteed another day so we must repent of sin and seek Him today while He may be found!
Been a welder for 31 years. I started in the ship yard bay ship building company in sturgeon bay Wisconsin. I'm a boiler maker. Took my welding cart. At northeastern Wisconsin tech trade schools in sturgeon bay Wisconsin. They had the best instructors while I was there. And they closed the welding school down.
Much respect man. When I worked at southwest shipyard in channelview those shipfitters were a different breed of animals. The way they used their torches ever so careful was amazing to me.
@@VantageWelding I'm a tanky to worked on a tank farm in Vernon ill. Worked on 5 crude oil tanks at the end of the pipe line. Build high pressure vessels at niles steel tank co. In niles Michigan. Got an L.A certification from California. They xray everything I've welded. What's bad about that is they make me fix people stuff they put in for the same amount of money. And there is no special pay for repair. That will make you mad.
@@gregfuzi1069 it’s all love man. Tank work is really hard on the buddy. Welding 1/6 wire all day and 7/32 lohy. Salute man. Not many can hang in that field.
6010 was the first bead, followed by the 7018, right
8010 on some of them. Just for arc shit purposes. Most of them were single passes of 7018
My grandpa built nuclear subs in the Navy in the 50s and worked as an iron worker / structural welder his entire life and he almost exclusively ran 7018. I myself love 7018 as well its amazing
That’s cool brother
7018 is more forgiving if your amperage is right.
I'm curious to know if you had made three to four tack welds around to prevent gaps from opening while creating long welds.
Just a couple
all work depends not only on experience but also on the consumables (electrodes) you have. In the USA, this is simplified to own brands of electrodes. in Russia, for example, there are too many small companies and too many companies and it is very easy to get confused in them. Yes, an experienced welder will weld with fittings) but even so if the design is responsible and the employer is not responsible and supplies cheap, bad or not suitable electric rods. then it gets to the welder. and you have to include all your own skills and experience.
Most definitely. I’m glad I can get my hands on any tool and or consumables where I work. But I’ve had a couple jobs were you had to work with what you got. Although a bit more complicated, those jobs teach you real skill.
Okay enough of the I have also met other welders from different places also very good
He’ll yeah thanks for watching budd
When the hood drops, the bullshit stops!
Does anyone else drop your head when he strikes an ark? It's a muscle reaction after 35+ years. 😆
No neck problems?
I have arthritis in my wrists so I just put the hood down with my hand worried about retirement.
@@mrillis9259 pushing steel around for this long destroys your body...part of it.
Get a good pillow, and a comfy mattress...you'll need a good night's sleep. I'm not saying it's doom and gloom, it keeps you active, no need to push iron in a gym when you do it at work all day. Good sleep and beer helps the pain...but that's just me.
Try pure CBD from one of the Oklahoma stores. When I was working out there l, my wrist was in so much pain from welding on the roll our wheel. Took a leap of faith and bought a tincture/vile which was pretty pricey. After the 3rd day, my pain went away and never came back
ark is a fictitious boat, arc is the proper terminology. (as a welder of 45 yrs)
@@krl9747 A fictitious and undoubtedly a very smelly boat.
We did 7018 in class today. I had a hard time striking the arc, kept sticking.
Keep practicing. Eventually it will all make sense
Try learning to strike an arc with 6010 first. It will be a bit easier
I like a lot how you teach, explain, work and made the video, no fake or bullshit,and no waste time only somebody take you out of focus( security🤓).
Thank you bro n
The quality of this video is insane. What are you using to record and how are you able to get the arc shots?
Thanks for watching. I am currently just using my iPhone X. Don’t really have any profesional equipment to record. Just record everything at 4K and 60fps and when I’m trying to record the puddle I lower the exposure on it. Thank you for the supports. Don’t forget to hit like and subscribe.

@@VantageWelding that’s awesome! I didn’t know you can record the arc shots with your iPhone. I went out and bought a GoPro without knowing I could use my iPhone 12 😭
Bommm 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 diaa
When I weld with 6010 either I whip it or do little circles.
Yes that’s perfect. I hate when people say there’s only one way to weld. Whatever works for ones self, should be plenty. The circle motion I used often when I’d mig. Thanks for watching.
@@VantageWelding my teacher told us the only way to perfectly weld is to do little ovals but I ended up finding another way that worked but was easier for me
@@C4_43 there is no set technique bro. Ever welder is different. You just have to find what’s good for you. Peace

7018 is such a smooth and easy to work with welding rod
can u weld 6mm s355 steel with a mig machine and how many amps and passes do u need and which wire?
or how many amps with arc?
Yes brother. I wouldn’t weld with mig on anything past 5/8” thick. As far as amps I wouldn’t know off the back of my mind. Do a quick google search on rates of amps to metal thickness ratio to give you a base number of where to start adjusting your settings.
Now this is welding. Been at this since 1986.

I used to love welding I was already doing over head vertical and horizontal on pieces until our welding teacher got fired then the new one made us start from the beginning again
Keep on grinding buddy. There ain’t nothing to it but practice. You got this neo
Mad props for being able to freehand with a steady hand.
Structural welders are always underrated and undervalued. Pipefitter welder here 🤘🏼. Everyone has tricks and technique to offer.
What machine you running off? Love the smell of 7018 in the morning.
Some sort of Miller. I think Maxstar 210 or something like that. Yeah man. Gotta weld it all if you’re trying to stay busy.
Honestly I’m surprised to see you running a 3/32 7018 then a 1/8 7018 on something that big! Don’t you guys run 1/8 7018s on stuff like that?
welding uphill is slower, a 1/8" electrode would provide too much heat. it is appropriate to use a smaller electrode to avoid cooking the metal.
Yes sir. Certain applications might be ok. It wasn’t necessary in this instance. Ultimately you can run whatever you want as long as it’s within the welding procedure.
All around the world 85-90% of all welding is done by 24/7 robots, only in the US it's done the old fashion way.
And this is why America is the greatest country. Thanks for watching.

That was until the mid-1970s when Japan started to have a stronger economy. Now China is the largest economy and largest producer of quality goods and even Vietnam's economy sadly but true is healthier than that of the US.
Thanks for viewing. 😎👍 have a blessed one brother.
@@VantageWelding So do you Possum
Just to clarify, the first two numbers on a stick electrode do indicate tensile strength, but it’s measured in psi (stress), not lbs (force) as you said in the video. I’m sure that’s what you meant, but I thought I would clarify for others that are watching.
Thanks boss. Yes it’s per square inch. Sorry for that error. Lol
I once worked with a kid who was always talking about the tensile strength of rods we were using. I asking him, " so what's the big difference between 60,000 and 70,000?"
10,000? Lol
Can you please use a filtered lens on the camera when videoing the welding. We can't see!
1 million people think otherwise

Hey dude can you give me some advice on how to find some good paying jobs in Houston(pipeline welding) I have been hearing that welding isn’t going to be good for the future and I’m just about to start school
Welding isn’t going anywhere. As far as jobs you have to start knocking on some doors. The Instagram welding community is actually pretty supportive and helpful. In this rough times it has been hard for everybody bro, but if you want to get in this industry buckle up. Cuz it can get bumpy. Ask the old timers around you bro. My suggestion to you is start school and kill it homie. 👍
I agree welding isn't going anywhere even with all the robotic welding it's much easier to send a welder to learn to program than to teach a programmer to weld
Actually a lot of old timers will be retiring, welding is not going away at all, quite the opposite from what I’ve read.
I see he is holding it at a 40 degrees angle but I'm glad you mentioned how he moves his wrist to carry the rod with him in a similar way as if he would pour tiny dribbles of oil around the base of the pipe he is doing a great job in demonstrating the art and you are clearly explaining his actions and I think both of you demonstrating and explaining to show people works a lot better than the one person trying their best to show and explain. It is easier he showing and you pointing out tips than one person trying hard to explain at the same time as trying to concentrate doing the work. Good work both of you. My only question to you just for me to learn myself I'm only trying to learn. What Rod did he use first that you said to only run upwards and that he held at 45 degrees please. I'm learning with the E6013 rod. Starting small while learning thank you so much you both make a great team
The rod is 7018 commonly known as lo-hy. Thanks for watching.
PROPER FIT UP IS STRONGER THAN GAPE WELDING. FOR IRON WORKERS THE ONLY EXCEPTION FOR DOWN HILL IS HAND RAILS. AND YOUR WELD IS AS GOOD AS IT GET VERY FINE WELDING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR LESSON. REMEMBER "SAFETY NEVER TAKES A VACATION"
Wise words friend. Thank you for that!!
Turn your CAPS LOCK off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On the big pipe flange, how big is the arc gap ? Your saying it's best to drag 6010 @45 degrees vertically and drag angle ? But then as he moves closer to himself, he comes to a 90 degrees drag angle ? You said 7018 should not be drug but then he's dragging it ? But then gradually switches to a push angle ?
I think it’s the angle of the recording brother. He had a slight push but never the less the puddle stayed behind the rod.
Those are some impressive welds! The welder is very skilled.

Geez....I wonder if I could ever do this. This is like watching a guitarist play without even looking at the strings.
I can tie my shoes without looking.....maybe there is hope.
Chill bro. If I. Can do it, anyone can.
Just landed a job in a fab shop. I'll be learning to MIG and do other things, but as far as the welding, its gonna be MIG. The company makes vertical balers, compactors, containers, dumb bodies and snow pushers.

Non of that bro. It’s just a stand not a drilling rig. Fit it up, weld her up, sand blast, paint it, and call it a day.
Right on guys. Good information! Sure wish I had the opportunity back in the nineties in high school to weld. Seriously, two or so years before high school...they shut down the welding class. Huge weld shop. Just sat there. Kids vandalized the booths. I didn't really understand the gravity of the destruction back then and the real loss that was taking place with that class being terminated. They have a welding class here again at the school BUT! They now ship the kids out and no longer teach at the school. Due to "safety". I've had it up to my eyes with "safety" this past year! Going to "safety" us all TO DEATH. Thank you for sharing.
Man I hear you on that bro. But to look at it on the bright side. A good chunk of the work force was unemployed, but we managed to stay busy. That’s a blessing all on it’s own. Stay up bro. And thanks for watching

Made a career, as a Boilermaker "certified high-pressure" welder. My one critique, on the square tube steel was on the vertical. You never "start/stop" a weld at the corner. I was taught to stop at least an inch before the corner then with a new rod continue up and over, finishing an inch past. Ideally that steel should have been power brushed, to remove the rust. With the rust removed you get a better weld and no "popcorn" sound.
Certified hu? 😅🦾🤣
@@VantageWelding Yes sir, certified. Meaning I do a tube test coupon, in 6G position. Typically a 2" tube. 1/4" tacks (heli-arc) maximum. 12 o'clock is punch marked with your tacks at 12, 3, 6, 9. Your tacks are inspected by 5 contractor tips and 1 ins. co. rep. These 6 will inspect every portion of your weld. If any one of them says "Fail" you're done. Your coupon is then mounted In the 6G position and remains there until the welding is done. You complete the heli-arc gut, which is then inspected. Two up-hand E7018 filler passes, again inspected. Finally three up-hand cover passes and inspection. The coupon is then removed and after you stamp your cert # on it, 4 sample straps are cut (1:30, 3:30, 7:30 and10:30). You then clean them and return them to the inspectors. They each get bent U-shaped, with your weld in the center of the U. One gets a root bend. One gets a face bend. The remaining two get side bent. If nothing shows you are certified to be able to do a high pressure weld. Plate steel requires less. In an open butt 6G overhead. My construction site welds have been x-rayed, ultra sound inspected, dye penetration tested and even magnafluxed. In my career I've never failed a test or had a weld rejected.
this guy is straight out of the classroom isn't he
😂😂😂😂 probably not from the states. They take their certs really seriously else where.
Nice work brother. 22 years in this business myself, and I still love slagging a perfect weld!
Good looking welds are a sign of a strong weld too. No embedded slag or voids.
Love the vids🔥🔥
Thanks for the support boss man.
Amazing. There is no wasted movement in good sound welding. I just hear you say something that made me get better: I just learned about the skip. I will be sure now to go back into the puddle. I get way more skips than i should. Now I know how to avoid them because of what you said about them. Thanks for that.
Thanks for watching.
@@VantageWelding sure thing. I’m poor. I’m
Welding to make a better life. Can you really do a deep vid about terminating welds? How to handle that heat when it stops having someplace to go? Thanks for the great content, brother.
7018 always keep a short arc for top grade weldment Also must be kept in hot box otherwise Electrode is not going to be low hydrogen
Good pointers.
Great footage bro
Thanks boss man.
Nice video. I have question, why are you whipping and pausing the first pass? Isn't there risk of slag inclusion? I am not an expert, that's why I am asking.
No, that’s actually a great question. Although you are manipulating your puddle, you never stop paying attention to the slag. You can see the slag rolling into your weld when you are either welding too fast, or running with lack of amperage. With the correct technique and amperage, you will keep a clean weld.
@@VantageWelding Thank you for your reply.
Hey bro why does that brown scab looking stuff peel off like it did?
La legend dice que cuando pasa eso es porque alguien te izo ojo. 😂😂
And the ojo is being pulled away from your self into the slag. Es brujería wei 🥴
@@VantageWelding 😂😂 ya entendí!
@@VantageWelding en que estado estás amigo?
Estoy localizado en Tejas carnalito.
Aye, what the hell you doin over there boi! "CLASSIC"
Es triste ver que sueldan pero el trabajo desprolijo se ve en cuanto dejan ver lo oxidado de las piezas y esto desmerece una buena soldadura en toda su totalidad... LAMENTABLE
Trabajo en una planeta chlor alkalina. El carbón con el simple echo de estar ay se oxida rápidamente. Pero no te preocupes. Los pintores le dieron un buen terminado. Sand blast, primer, y pintura. Saludos.
So, you do PUSH when in vertical up . Slag doesn't always mean drag
yes, due to gravity!
The commentary is awesome! 1000% informative!
Thanks!
@@richraven3828 🤝
Enough amps to kill everyone on that area is running through your hands.....
How does it feel? :D
Never thought of it lol
Cool vid. 7018 rods slag should rise uo with almost no chipping with chipping hammer. Again cool vid.
SOOOOO COOL!!!!!! Itching for going out and burn some 7018 welding rods. I was so lucky to find in a garage sale lot's of those for 10% of its actual price. Got them from an old school senior welder. I will honour his generous legacy!!!!
Nice 👍
Hope it's dry, my need to cook it.
The welder in video is truly a verry good welder.
After yrs of welding you learn to weld high heat and push the rod in vertical welds. All the impurities float to the top with the flux. Flat welds the same with rod position like here. I weave a little not much on flats, moving the rod momentum depending on bead width, but slow enough for good penetration.
Perfect explanation.
- @ 9:23 and 12:05 it appears that your down-bead root passes could have used a few more amps and a little tighter arc gap... overall, the final result is acceptable.
Thanks
When the heat and travel rate are perfect the slag will curl up and peel off color of weld will be blue , if purple too much heat.
Very beautiful,,
Greetings fire artist 🥰
Thank you for stopping by friend
@9:35 he didn't clean his previous weld now he got slag trapped when he strike a new arc
that's not how that works budd
but good observation
@@VantageWelding How come d
The slag at the end after you pull out is brittle and not penetrated into the toes of the weld. With the wash out of the rod before starting you will have enough heat in your arc to blow the slag clean off and it will also help your tie in to fuse more uniform by not overlapping your existing cap. B31.3 severe proof on pipe bro. I guarantee it. Now if you’re undercutting and the slag is in there and you try to go over it without cleaning it, that’s where the slag inclusion will happen.
I know everything about welding..............love got a welder in my shed. It cost me $35.
You poke the stick thing in the handle and bang it on the metal til it goes" bbbzzzzzzzzzz".
You stop when your arm gets tired. You can use a beer bottle if you can't find your helmet!!!
Stavros
That’s it! You got it
5:10 slag lifts up like dat, t's kaapai, amps, rate of travel..angle..nice vid clip, wish dea waz more..box sec, weld,, ok 'joe'.. welding spec's, straight forward enough..done well 🦾✌️🤙 thnx 👍
Thanks brother
What amps for 7018 and 6010 for this video???
6010-1/8”= 80-95 amps
6010-5/32”=100-125 amps
7018-3/32”=85-95 amps
7018-1/8”= 110-130 amps
Every machine is different so you’ll have to find your sweet spot. The quicker you move the hotter you’ll need to be and vice versa.
orite tq bro👌
