Beautiful 1" test plate, I had to chuckle at all of your comments as you were filling it up, after welding for over 45 years, ( now retired), and full penning welds on plate and wide flange beams as heavy as 700 lbs a foot, I've done and said everything you have just said to myself as I was filling joints up to a cover pass, always trying to make that Cover perfect, lol, you look like a great welder, hope these young guys and gals pay attention to you, they will learn some good stuff!! Great video, thanks...... and best of Luck to your channel. My GI bill put me through welding school in the 70's. Made a good living all my life, welding is a vital trade for anyone willing to actually work for a Living!

Is the C&G recognised in industry? or is there better quals to take?

[@dar3726]

When doing these full penitration welds we always preheat and use a needle gun between each pass to destress. Also post heat to to the same. All of our welds are ultrasound tested as well. Been welding for over 35 years, so much poor welding out there! Hopefully your video may help!

i learned how to weld from an old dude back when i was 12, that put gas torch in one hand and a rod in the other and made me learn that first. then i went to stick, Mig and then Tig. he showed me how to weld cast iron, aluminum, anodized aluminum. this old guy from WW2 showed me a lot about welding. an old machine shop reminds me of him. thanks for the video.

[@inhibited44]

Thanks for uploading the video. I was doing this same with lighter stock in a welding class. From watching you, I had my arms properly positioned, but my face wasn't close enough to the weld. You have your hands just above your ears at the start. I will try to remember that on my next try. I am getting a better helmet to see the outline of the weld too. I had trouble seeing the edges of the metal bevels using my current helmet. As a result , I wasn't going straight like I thought I was.

There's 8 in our night classes at college and we are all finding it almost impossible to get full penetration on the root weld. It looks like the simplest weld to do!! I've had over 25 attempts on 8" long practice pieces 😮. Going to try this on Tuesday night 😣

Put some strong backs on the root side, with a mouse hole cut out . Ie two pieces of 12mm thickness flat bar,with a half circle cut out in middle of flat bar , doing this also will stop the plate being tacked on the root. And keep the plate welded more flat ,unless this has been preset for distortion.

[@tennentssuppa]

the 2 plates aren't flat anymore?

[@ChuckHickl]

I work in a building that has some exposed w-shapes that look to be 1" thick, or close to it. These beams have been mechanically coupled when a connection is required and I always wondered why as there are 4 rows of 9 bolts each sandwichng the beam connection with 1" plates that extend at least 24" each side of the connection. That is literally 24x6x2=72 bolts! I assumed it has something to do with the difficulty in welding members of this size and watching this video helped my understand possibly why mechanical attachments might be favored due the amount of heat this many filling passes generates. Thanks for sharing.

[@eddiepierce7028]

I worked at Electric Boat for a few years. The test to get in was a 1” plate, flat and vertical. TIG, I’m old school from the USAF. I would have preferred, 6010’s.

[@adstaton8461]

After the hot pass on base metal that thick you need to transition to a 5/32 diameter filler rod. I worked at Newport News Shipbuilding and you would get reamed for welding flat down with 1/8 electrodes. These schools need to teach students to carry a larger puddle and get that joint filled.

What do you do about the warping on parts this thick, as seen in the video the part comes bowed. Is this where you would use a symmetrical bevel groove so you add even heat on both sides?

[@giovanniquargentan6198]

is it just me or does it look like the two plates went from being on the same plane to really bending in the weld area due to thermal contraction?

[@matko350]

And to be honest it kinda hurts me for some reason 😅

[@jimbob4456]

Yea, not good

[@robchesley4591]

With beveled open root, does material thickness really effect Amp settings that much? I was doing 3/8 material with same rod, bevel, same gap and land and 80A was just too hot. Hard to control keyhole. 70A turned out being the ticket. With equal gap an land an bevel the point of penetration is equal in both cases. that means the only difference is heat absorbance from the sides right?

I run 1/8 7018 between 150-170. HOT!! But...if I have a gap to deal with, I can slap a 5/32 7018 in and it runs colder and wider. And it it's great like that. A massive gap, Texas Tig!! It's not structural, it's not tested. It HAS to hold. And...it does. I will say, nobody's life depends on it. When I did structure, it's a whole different ball game. Where I'm at now, it's more rush. Weld to expectations. I do miss miss my proper welds. It takes more prep and setup. But it's superior.

Wasn't the piece of metal flat when you started? I know that wasn't the point of the video and the technique was. However its a common the stretching and shrinking as the metal gets hot and cools. Is there any pointers to mitigate this as well? The finished product is as important?

how to avoid workpiece bending during welding?

[@no_aa08]

grind the bottom side of the root pass after you do it then just clamp both sides to the table, and then when ur done wait for it to cool off before you unclamp it

[@kyleditaranto8440]

The metal bending shows that your welds in the middle are fusing. If you removed the welds and pushed those grooves together they'd conjoin. It's just common sense

[@eddiepierce7028]

Very nice! 6010 is a more aggressive rod than the 6011 or the 7018 and that’s a nice smooth weld!

[@inhibited44]

Do you grind the metal clean before you start stick welding? It looks like did grind the metal at the joint

[@aguilayserpiente]

Perhaps, I misunderstood. The material is 1" thick. The root face is 1/4". The welding electrode was 1/8" in width. Amperage: 130Amps. The Welding Charts from the Procedure Handbook of Arc Welding suggests a width thicker than 1/8" of electrode for 1" material. Please help me to understand this discrepancy.

[@jclay6680]

That sounds about right . Back in welding school I found that setting the amps to the diameter of the rod while welding flat worked out (0 .125 = 125 amps , 0.25 = 250 amps )

[@aguilayserpiente]

@@jclay6680 What should the width of the electrode be for 1"?

@@aguilayserpiente probably a 5/32 rod but really it is because 1/8" rod you'll be there for days and a 5/32 rod will probably cut that time in half

Welding continuously caused warp/distortion?

[@drizler]

So why when doing all the .passes post root pass do you have the heat focused on the center not the stock? I thought you were supposed to walk it back and forth so as to better direct the heat and penetration. Yea I’ve done it wrong for 20 years ……..but nothing broke, I think😅

[@Park-my-lambo]

It no longer is flat. Huge bend where the weld is. How do you keep it flat?

[@rockyroad90]

Great video. You’ve earned my sub.

[@engjds]

After hours of frustration, I got it, maybe it will help others: 1) go slow-feel it biting into the metal, 2) grind a groove and you 'feel' that stick evers so slightly against the metal as you drag it.

[@POliver8888]

[@T4CO1776]

Nice vid. one thing i noticed is you are always favoring one plate with your angle, never the other side. i was always taught to switch sides to ensure good fusion on both plates

[@dragonsyph2557]

Notice how the plates started off even and at the end one was at 30 degree angle lol?

[@champ6918]

Question? Why are the 1 inch plates so warped? The welds look nice but thr plates have excessive warpage. How do you prevent that in the real world?

[@chrisraczak6931]

By not welding continuously and allowing a cool down period between welds. Also, this piece will be so hot when it’s done that you can just throw it in a Vice and straighten it, I know it seems impossible at that thickness but it will work and it’s easy.

[@chrisraczak6931]

Also, the chances of you actually welding a 1 inch plate in the field is highly unlikely unless you’re building bridges

[@pixelpatch]

Is there a specific reason for the gap? Wouldnt it pool more easily with a smaller gap? (Or do you need more space for the rod?)

[@chrisraczak6931]

Late response but it’s for full penetration, really the only purpose

[@TankManHeavy]

What do you do to counter/correct the distortion? I noticed the plates distorted quite a lot by the time you'd done several runs.

[@chrisnation1279]

you'd really just have to let the metal cool down if you don't want it to distort. I'm guessing he was trying to finish this test plate quicker for the video and he likely didn't give it as much time to cool. it really however you prefer to do it.👍

[@SyengSyeng]

Give each electrode pass at the very least a 1 minute cooldown. He was burning the shit out of the metal causing distortion that would fail him a test. As the previous comment said, most likely did it for KZbin and tried getting it done fast. Just remember, fast is slow, and slow is fast. Rushing will cause you major headaches. This is true for distortion to even welding weaves. When I had to take certified test, I had melting sticks that would melt on your metal if it was too hot. Had to make sure it was a certain temperature to even weld on it. Gave it 5 minute breaks because quenching wasn’t an option of course. Passed the bend test.
