I swear I learn more from videos like this than anything I'm shown in school.

[@leroyrodriguez3004]

You’re welding school doesn’t teach stuff like this???

[@devanrammacher8539]

Same but I'm in highschool so I wouldn't expect much

[@MONNIEHOLT]

Lets see the back side 👌🥳🤷‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️

[@tyrecedickson7661]

Right

[@billyjones3430]

No kidding lol

[@Fwixi]

😂 !!

[@MRJ37]

😂I’m sure he got enough penetration

[@romanadine5123]

Why you not show to us about the back side bro

[@sharonswearingen6242]

I think I could do that, it was explained very well, and we got to see the weld as Jon was doing the welding. Good job and it was a nice looking weld. Thank you for the Video.

[@tylitke3691]

It amazes me how simple your welding tests are in the states here in chinada where only allowed a wire wheel no removing any metal. You have to have a backing plate and you have to demonstrate atleast 2 stop and starts your root gets visual inspection for undercut and on your hot pass your not allowed to go up and down only side to side as the up down traps slag and destroys the structural integrity of your weld and the once you finally get your cap on you get choose either bend test or x-ray test always choose the bend test because if they find any slag on the x-ray test fail if your plate bends into a perfect U with no cracks and no slag spots over 1/32 of an inch show on the back side of the bend you pass

[@leroyrodriguez3004]

No it’s just one of the test. They test you on many things.

[@bobbyblair6862]

Yeah, that's a totally different test. We do that as well. Backing plate tests are gravy compared to open root.

[@robertcombs1518]

Very nice, like the technique on the cover pass, circle left pause, then the middle, then circle right pause! Nice job!

[@aldeanbilly2696]

Doing this tomorrow in class. Awesome job and video, thanks!!

Great job young man!!!

[@StatCity82]

Very detailed and precise. Thanks for being informative. Appreciate the tips. Nice work by the way. 💯

[@luvkountry]

Seeing the beads of each pass and the root bead penetration would be helpful.

[@Leightonellert]

The root looked like shit I bet that’s why they didn’t show it. Way to much fire on the front side of the plate for that back side to look good

[@luvkountry]

@@Leightonellert We use one eights 6011 for the root and usually 3/32 7018 for the filler passes and cap unless the procedure dictates the fill and cap as 1/8 . Same fit up as he is using. I'm sure the root bends would fail on the one he done in his video. We don't normally need to change the settings on the machine to go from the 1.8th 6011 to the 3/32nd 7018. Most times the machine is some distance away so that works nicely.

[@siilko2586]

Im currently doing this right now. Good to see some other POV’s of how someone else does it just to help out. Good video

Great job WT fam. Wish we could've seen each pass before grinding them off so know what to look for

[@erickj.6670]

Been having trouble with this test here at RSI but this video helped out

[@mrfastlane2007]

Definitely agree with all the positive remarks here !! But just curious why they didn't show any of the weld till after it was completed...🤷‍♂️ exc. Here's the root pass completed, Here's the hot pass completed Here's the fill pass completed

[@southernoffroader78]

On criticism I have is the way you set up the root. If you run a heavy 1/8th land and gap, you can run the root at 90 amps like the rest of the test. It's a much easier way to do it in the field. I'm not climbing down off a scaffold to change my heat every time I need to run a root.

[@augustusmichael4716]

[@adi7795]

Nice This would run on me every time I welding up with 7018 the whole thing running away on me and it looks bad. You make it look so easy.

[@davefarmery8180]

Try consantrating on your ark length, you don't want it to be to long

[@adi7795]

Thank you I going to try that next time

[@varzacwarin782]

Great Techniques! Welding with confidence, thanks👍

[@johnsimms818]

When I took my test many years ago we didn't get to set up the test plates ( the inspector did ) and all passes were done with 7018 and no grinding allowed. Hand wire brush ,scratch awl and chipping hammer.never strike the slag with the hammer .

[@echavav]

Muy buen video, bien explicado. Solo me hubiera gustado ver como queda cada pase el de raíz y los de terminación, tal vez si los hubieras cepillado y mostrado para ver los cordones. Saludos desde Nicaragua

[@tonygarcia5802]

Instead of having a 6010 hot pass can I use a 7018 for the hot pass

[@immEruptt]

yes 7018 1/8 run it around 120 amps or 3/32 7018 at around 90/95 amps

[@Shah37Bang]

Thank you guys for the video, well done!

[@paulchrisman2392]

How do you know what pattern to use when making your 1st pass? Do you do circles, whip it &come back, or left right then move up? How do you know what to use or when to use what pattern?

[@MRJ37]

You can do a whip and pause like going back and forth into your puddle or you can just run a straight bead root pass by just going straight no weaving you just gotta go a lil slower to fully stitch the sides and get full penetration.

[@Makermook]

I've never seen the up-down-left-right movement before.

[@danieljoseph9553]

How long you been welding Mark?? We call it the Christmas tree technique here. Very common, in saying that some welding firms here don't allow weaving at all.. straight up stringers all the way out

[@billyjones3430]

The up then down side to side is the T-technique for 6010 or also for 6011 leaves a nice stack of dimes if done correctly.

[@cynco792]

I wish you would have show the beads after every pass. And the backside

[@woodywood1890]

Name like that, you better be a welder!! Lol, great video!!

How are ur fingers not smoking I can’t cue stick more then half a rod

Did you fuck around with the arc force or “dig” running that root? Or did you keep it around 20% the whole way through?

[@saminyusubov7478]

up and down hand movement at the root can be processed with 7018 electrode ??

[@kyliepolk5818]

Merle is awesome

[@dunnowatimdooin9230]

What's the difference between using 6010 on the hot pass vs 7018?

[@robertgammett8718]

6010 you can manipulate the rod differently, you can go up and down to fill the root without slag and deformation, if you try that with 7018 it will slag ajd cause porosity

[@robertgammett8718]

It helps a lot on open root

[@AnikTripuraabca]

Nice work

[@kulotskii1149]

the best vid and very informative as always gj weldtube fam hope u always have great vids

Where are these guys testing where they are allowed a grinder for tests? They never let us use a grinder on any test in my trade. That would be awesome.

[@emmecocummins8927]

Thanks guys Gra8 video....I am currently doing this for a welding assignment soon & I was wondering what’s the lowest I can go on a hot pass cause 90 and 85 amps for me is to hot I can’t move my hands that fast So the puddle flows out on me regular...so is 70-75 good Option Or not ?

[@kimpkimp1238]

Dont get hang up about the amps just keep a tight arc and wet in the toe of your welds. And each machine is different and some can show a different amperage then its actually putting out.

Fanclub From Thailand

[@956DTech]

Can you also do 7018 hotpass or only 6010

[@christiandiaz8333]

you can do both but others like to use 6010 because is isnt too hot like 7018 theres a chance if you use 7018 you can burn thru depending if you stay too long on that spot , i usually use 6010 but i go downhill on it to finish it quick

[@danieljoseph9553]

We do 7018 all the way.. no change of welding rod. Only amps change. 90amp root run, hot pass and cap 100 - 110. 12mm plate 3-5mm cap. 3.2mm rod 7018

[@mohammedakbaruddin5934]

You not shown root how you weld just grind and started hot pass why?

[@tandemwings4733]

Yeah well i guess hes saying the welding rod aint that heavy

[@joshr7860]

I'm a millwright, we are taught 1 hand holds the stinger, the other is used to brace yourself. I only use one hand on the rod when I'm welding in a tight space that is hard to control with just one hand, as long as I can lean on something.

[@powpaow]

Really struggling with my root. I looked awesome last week and the slag fell right off the backside... but this week it looks like shit and is all bumpy. My teachers told me to grind it down thin when I start over with new electrode but when I do that it burns a hole and then I get stuck there cause I'm not able to fill it up... really don't know what to do. I feel like I'm doing everything in the same way as last week but now it's totally different results

[@obamahater666]

How long should this test take?

[@georgematthews3222]

Not a bad demo but why use a low high electrode which are harder to use than a standard 6013 electrode ,if you where using DC did you use electrode positive for the hot pass,and why use two hands to weld you are not the only one to use this technique ,i learned to use one hand with a hand screen that way to me you learn balance and are able to manipulate the electrode better ,would have liked to have seen the penetration on the backside of the plate.You did well for a young man,

[@BassPlaayer101]

He did one up the left, one in the middle favoring the left side to prevent undercut, and then the 3rd that overlapped the bevel and the 2nd cap
