Why do you flush your hot pass? Is it to keep inclusions out going from hot > fills > flush? Never seen it done this way, but it makes sense if that’s the reason. Coming from a technical college student
Flushing the hot pass in welding involves the process of removing any slag or impurities that may have accumulated during the initial welding pass before proceeding to subsequent filler passes. The primary reason for flushing the hot pass is indeed to ensure the cleanliness of the weld joint and prevent the entrapment of inclusions or other defects as additional filler material is added in subsequent passes, such as the fill and cap passes. By removing slag and impurities before adding more weld material, welders can help maintain the integrity and quality of the weld, reducing the risk of defects and ensuring a strong, sound weld joint. This practice is commonly employed in various welding processes to achieve high-quality welds.
@@WesternWeldingAcademy thanks! I had trouble on my 3G SMAW with trapped slag/inclusions in school. I never thought about it until i saw it here, but it makes complete sense now that ive seen it
I hope one day to learn to weld. Something I've wanted to do for the past 10 years, haven't been able to make it happen, but when I get in position, I am moving to Wyoming. I know I can do it better than the next guy.
@@sirsapphire3499 it’s not one of the best welding schools in the country. It’s one of the most expensive well-being schools in the country. They’re like 20th.
Agree. 5P is an all position rod great for roots...just have to know how to run it and have a good fit with decent lands. I prefer, when I can get away with it, to use fleetweld 180. It’s every bit as good on roots and doesn’t spatter as much. 5p has manganese and silicone whereas 180 has nickel, molybdenum, manganese and chromium. Some places will allow it unless otherwise specified.
You're using a fast freeze rod, 7018 is a little tougher trying to plug a hole in an up hand weld. Yeah, if you play with a hot hole, you can make it worse. I've found new steel, not the best quality. You can have hard and soft spots. Welding along, and you have a blowout.
Who ever told you that doesn’t know what they are talking about. You use 6010 for all vertical open roots that are done with stick unless the weld procedures calls out other wise
Dude your guys content just continues to improve and impress. Thanks guys
Glad to hear it!
Only the bravest men post welding videos, hats off sir. not a beautiful weld, but it is a video about fixing problems.
That is the point
Really appreciate the work you're doing here! It's awesome to see such dedication and passion in educating the next generation. Keep it up!
Much appreciated!
Loving the content.
Thanks for the support!
This is good advice, been there many times.
Glad you think so!
Experience has been Shared !
100%
James my fav teacher over at Western Welding Academy! Shout out from United Axle in New Mexico!
Thank you!
Love this
Thanks! There’s more 😉
Never ending “entertainment”
???
Good tip
Glad you think so!

For a cap weld, which doesn't need to be very thick in terms of layer

We'll be expecting ya
Im more baffled on how to make a 6010 look like that
It's for demonstration purposes
That's one shitty root pass.
Yeah from what I’ve seen 6010 ain’t pretty
I mean, he's an instructor at one of the best schools in the country. Are you?

I think that was the idea. You know, for demonstration purposes?
Yes. Sit as long as it pass,s x ray or the. Bend test. Tiring in with. No impurties
Yeah man but you still have to follow the wps lol
👌🏻
Id be easier to see without all the words on the screen
Thanks for the feedback
Wonderful!!!!❤
Glad you like it!
@@WesternWeldingAcademy yes because i faced that problem from time to time😂
Well said tho!👍
Many will never know that 6010 is a root rod
Okay?
Or change the angle and keep welding, get er done
You do you
This is actually good advise. Blowing through can really turn into a can of worms if you try to address it immediately.
Glad you think so!

Thanks for your input
I guess.
You guess?
Thats assuming you dont blow a second hole in the root on the way up 🤣
Yes
For allll ya newbees... you won't get it!
🤷🏻♂️
That looks awful lol
It's supposed to be
Yeah amateur.... there's a reason his not welding out in the field
You never seen his credentials? He was out on the field for over 10 years before retiring to a student instructor
Are you sure about that?
Looks about right for most field welders 😂
I was taught that 6010 isn't good for vertical welding
Where😂😂😂😂😂😂
If that's what you were taught, then I hope to never be around anything you've welded😂😂😂
Who told you that?

@MakeItHappenCaptin13 and your full of 💩 🤣 🤣 🤣 6010 is a root rod period. Vertical or horizontal 🤣 🤣 🤣
