  • Hey guys ‪@usaweld‬ reached out to me seeing that my other Tig/stick welding machine broke down and offered to let me use their new HTP invertig 400 AC/DC for my shop. One of the neat things is that they added a new feature which will come in very handy. They added a Carbon Arc Gouging feature. They said, put it to work! So I will!! They wanted me to test their gouging feature and see if it would hold up to the types of gouging I do here at the shop. So, We will have to see how it holds up to the abuse and the Texas heat. Stay tuned.
    For the first project we are working on a foundation drill rig kelly bar adapter that showed signs of having some deep internal cracks. Stick around to see how it does and how we repair it.
    Thanks for the support in advance and let me know whatcha think in the comments.

    Old school stick welding is the best and most cost effective. Plus if you love welding you get more time making sparks. Isaac you are the best.

    My dad was a skilled trades steel worker. He welded things that a lot people said couldn’t be welded. His favorite was stick welding of which he taught me. I’m not licensed but I can weld against most. My dad also done exray welding. I’ve learned alot when he was alive. Just curious if your son is going into the welding trade. Like to see him working with you. Love your channel and watching your explaining and problem solving. Keep up the good as always. 👍❤️

    Never underestimate how hard it can be to prevent distortion. A few years back I was welding a 2" receiver bar to a winch mounting plate. I preheated. I scattered a dozen tack welds. I spread around the welds to control the heat. 3 passes later and the 3/8" thick plate was so warped I almost scrapped the work.

    • @legionofanon
      @legionofanon 11 месяцев назад +8

      If the surface is ok to weld on the back side, add two plates vertical opposite of where you are welding as strong backs, it'll look like a C. First shop i was in we had to do this for welding 1 inch plates onto the end plates and without them they pulled about 1 inch out of flat.
      We were welding structural beams, basically welded I beams with clips for bolting on Z channel that you could screw metal siding onto

      1965 my voag instructor during summer school, they took a 6” square plate 3/8 I think, using 6011 rod ran beads back & forth until it was covered. Then sawed into 1” strips & stretched until they broke, I don’t remember the results.

    This is when you wished you had a horizontal rotisserie. I made one out of an old 12" four jaw lathe chuck welded on a wheel hub and spindle. Sometime it needs counter wieghts to balance the part.

    Lincoln Ultra-Core 71A-85 using 75/25. Fantastic elongation and impact properties. Tests better than 7018, if the data is to be believed. If it’s ever let me down, the customer didn’t tell me about it.

    Love watching this guy weld. Such intuitive understanding of the material and its reaction to the heat and fillers used. Seldom do you see a welder thar truly recognizes these factors and incorporates and compensates for them in the process. Not a welder by trade but was a machinist and fabricator in my past. I stick, mig, tig, and oxy weld but nearly feel dumb when watching this guy do stuff.

  • @arustydodge2111

    I used to build tugboats and barges, used a lit of lincoln ultracore wire. Mostly.045 and .052. Had great production and weld appearance. Mostly ran a ln25 suitcase with 55lb spool power unit was lincoln cv655. When I gouged I used the dc600.

    Ultracore 71A85 is what I like. It’s a Lincoln wire I run mostly 1/16 with C25. It would work here but I think I’d use 7018 too or 8018 but nothing above that. Great work.

    Great job!
    When i compare you to Kurtis from CEE, i see different ways to fix broken or worn out pieces.
    Your work is like fixing it in the field and make it last as long as possible. You make it happen.
    Kurtis on the other hand is the perfectionist, as he is always working in the shop.
    I love both chanels and i wouldn't dare to make a ranking, who welds best. Always a pleasure to see your skills.
