Thank you for stating that I was going to ask a question , like how much influence does the positioning of the work lead have on the end result' Very few welders think about the direction that the current takes , and very few speak about the phenomenon called "arc Blow".
@@Bo2xpro generally speaking any angle that allows the slag to deposit on the bead is good I do like to pull the puddle not push But vertical you have to push , but gravity help you to control the slag
With all due respect it's nothing to do with the fitup, but to do with Jed's pushing his rod into the slag. Never seen anyone in downward position pushing instead of dragging which is the proper technique, and this is why he's got slag inclusions. and it would never pass any tests.👍
@@jonmcgill533I’m positive fit up plays a massive factor but of course there’s many other things that affect the weld quality. I guess thanks for you ur insight but I wasn’t asking.
@@allonjones840 When you make comments your open to comments coming back at you. For what its worth I do agree with you about the fit up been extremely important. I wasn't questioning that I was questioning his direction of travel with the electrode.

But from another angle they should know what LH means if they are reayly trying to be a welder or they should for sure know what it is if they are welders
@leterbuck2001 im a journeyman red seal welder I always try to educate and not rip on people who don't know or are just learning we all started somewhere
One thing you forgot to do is grind up your baseplate and the edges of your Ibeam . By doing that you also get a nice clean weld with out spatter..... That’s how I do it in Australia 🇦🇺 🤪🤪🤘🤘
Your rod angle look like you were pushing the electrode instead of dragging it. I usually drag the rod toward me and hold it at a 75 degree angle. This way I can see the workpiece and get good penetration. Get more arc shots next time. The most important part of welding is the timing and electrode to work gap.
You should probable consider using the OSH mandated PPE if your going to teach welding. Its can be over a 1000 dollar fine...never mind hoodie. Teach them right if you lose an eye you cant weld...
I’ll be honest, most pipeliners that I’ve met and been around are arrogant human beings that come in to your town and think they own the fucking place. But you guys seem to pretty humble and all around good guys. I would be honored to work side by side with you guys.
So question bro, I'm from New Zealand working as a rigger welder (iron worker) we follow Australian standards for welding (aus/nz standerd) why do you push with 7018? I was taught when it slags you drag. Also on that I'd personally weld the inside of the beam as one weld, why do 3 separate welds? Iv always said there's no wrong and right way it's upto what the welder feel comfortable with and the end product...
From the old retired contract welder you left handed son take you a 6gr 7018 uphill with the restriction ring now that's a test and run it your puddle from right to left it'll come out better. I was left handed
LOL….Pipe welders talking about structural. FYI f the newbies the majority of structural is done with FCAW NR232 but most of these pipe guys don’t know how to run it. Unless your going to be a pipe welder this is pretty much useless.
hahahaha......pipe welders only know stick using 7018 and 6010, FYI to the new welders nobody ever uses stick for structural steel welding in the field because it takes for ever and is not cost effective, 99.9% of structural is done using FCAW. The only time you will ever see stick on a building is for the decking and that.s it.
@@davidnieto936 depends what region you're in. Here in Chicago the starting pay is 50% for apprentices which is about $24 an hour plus your benefits. Once you go down to southern states, the Unions aren't as strong (Republican run states) and the journeymen make less than or equal to Chicago vicinity apprentices. It's a great career I've been a union ironworker for over 20 years and worth it for me.
That "bow" is the throat. Based off of the leg length, your throat is WAY too big. Excess convexity. Thats a weld fault = failed weld! If you push all your passes, they would never stand up to a structural plate test! But whatever, each to their own
Jacob Schofield true but when you welding structural pieces it’s a different world from downhill pipe welding but you being the Pro you are I’m sure you know the difference . Just saying to us that Weld Structural all day long instead of pipe pulling is the way to go ! Keep up the good work but god Damn Where is Bob 😭🙏🏽💯

Thank you for posting an interesting video. There's no such thing as stopping learning, or trying out a new technique if you're interested in your subject, or wanna do a better job.
vman318 the lad is trying to pass on helpful information & technique here, don’t criticise his accent ffs, go to half the counties in the uk & you won’t understand half of what they say but there all speaking english
jed your technique is wrong you are using a MIG welding technique in stick welding the pool is in front of the electrode not behind it. just one more thing try using one hand to manipulate the electrode you are not alone from what i have seen on you tube in using two hands.If you where on piece work or paid by results two handed welding would slow you down,one hand for the job and one for yourself ,cold go on but i will be sounding like a old fart
Never tack, start, stop, or connect a weld in a corner, why? Because it is almost impossible to remove all the slag and if x- rayed you WILL have slag inclusion thus failing to weld to standard. How to avoid this? Start your root knowing you must weld through all corners before breaking arc and plan accordingly.
what do you mean? isnt the slag gonna be the same if it was in the middle of the bead or of it was in the start/finish :/? and some people told me to tack the ends so It can absorb more heat. but can you please explain, thanks :D
You can start the wrap around first. And run the bead to tie in and if you're good enough with tie ins it won't be noticeable it'll look like a complete bead.
I believe fillet welds do not get x-rayed and full pen moments get visual inspected under 3/8 thick and over would be the xray inspection per aisc standards for structural welding.
Fillet welds do in fact get x- rayed. In addition, a visual inspection is a totally separate issue. That stated , welds can be deemed a failure if not to visual standard and/ or if a failure to x- Ray inspection depending on weld criteria needed.
@@johnw.peterson4311 From my own experience as an ironworker those are the rules we follow for the jobs I've worked. What kinda fillet welds do you weld that get inspected with xray curious.
Exactly what i was thinking. "Pushing "🤔🤔 i mean you can but... And also to get rid of the spatter you just got to lower your amperage slightly. Guys out there that think they can just crank it up and burn it in. Go right ahead but there is such thing is the perfect amperage,rod angle , and arc length. Of course travel speed to. But the heat is all part of it to
When we weld on buildings u set your welder and run your leads sometimes 2 - 3 floors. You learn how too weld all positions at the same amperage. Now shop welding obv is different
lol you push a 7018? then you show us your weld with all your cold laps, I would be shitting myself if i knew you welded any structure I was in. You should be a mig welder.

The spatter is from arc blow. You can move the ground accordingly.

I don’t ever remember seeing any pushing a rod. I was told when there’s slag, you drag

Im a left and right hand welder. I personally like to drag my rod than to push. I get better results. But that is my way

Same
I do the same
People call 7018 drag rods cause that's more of a correct way to do it. You can push depending on scenario. Such as vertical up.
@@Bo2xpro generally speaking any angle that allows the slag to deposit on the bead is good

It's better to be specific and say "7018". Not everyone knows that L H means low Hydrogen.
But from another angle they should know what LH means if they are reayly trying to be a welder or they should for sure know what it is if they are welders
All 7018 is low hydrogen

I like how you wrapped your lead cable. Is this helping with magnetic blow.
That's a back yard welding. That would not pass any welding structural test..

See with your ears. Nice work. There is a cooking cycle you can hear as he moves. I always wondered about this.
I love welding I cant wait to start my mobile business 😆
What type of welding is this? I have a Lincoln Powermig Dual and never seen an option to hold a stick with that ground clamp.
Not a ground clamp. Just a different style of stinger.
What I took away from this video: It’s hard to reach in tight areas with a stubby

Not sure die Zeit/Uhr you posted this but I’m In GMT IST FRÜHE and that’s was pleasantly awesome.
Respect you guys, love all your vids, I weld a lot of columns, in my opinion you should be pulling instead of pushing, don’t push unless you have to.
Tripp Lipford i agree I always pull with Dual Shield or Stick
Tripp Lipford agreed also I was wondering why he is doing that
We are mostly down hill welders so I like watching the puddle instead of trying to look behind a rod. Just a comfort thing.

Yep. FIT UP IS EVERYTHING AND EVERY MILLIMETER OF WELD after will make you smile.

Great job other than you hold the electrode with the wrong hand. lol 🤔

See a lot thought he’s pushing the rod as I did, not sure it’s just he looks to be a left hander & the camera angle making it look a bit strange?
He's pushing it and his welds look horrible. 7018 are drag rods. Only push depending on scenario such as vertical up
You are not supposed to weld in the K-Zone
Just a FYI, 6010 is not a pre approved electrode for structural. Check the AWS D1.1 code.
I'M A LEFT WELDER AND GOOD AT IT
I feel bad for that white hoodie🤣🤧
After welding miles and miles of wire, any welder can be ambidextrous.
Why did you push with the 7018? And I was always taught to weld from the corners out
Drag or push
Just read the puddle
I see no drag but there is slag :0
awesome info guys =) thanx
I never seen a welder use two hands on 7018 and welding away from him and wrong angle on the rod. Stick to the grinder hand 👍

You have to pull the welding rod, not push - the basic rule. I will not write why ...

it is called arc blow.
Is he saying rut pass or root? Lol 6010 on structural? What’s this amateur hour?
In class we use 7018 electrode sticks or w.e u wanna call it
You're pushing the rod instead of dragging... Just personal preference or is there another reason?
Welding backwards is not mig welding
I only spend 1 minute welding. The other 9 are cutting, cleaning, and fitting. Doesn't seem very glamorous after that
