did you increase your amperage on your hot pass?

You should do these demos with a POS 30 year old off brand welder. That is what I always find at the test facility.

[@cjvega9328]

Today was my first day for intermediate stick and my teacher said to put it on 100 amps I thought it was too hot when welding and my welds were shit no matter what I did I’m gonna try this thank you sir!

[@ethanmitchell2712]

Amperage depends on the size of the electrode your using. 7018-1/8 electrodes are run at about 100 amps. In this video he’s using 3/32 rods at about 85 amps. But always play around with the settings up/down because if other people are welding around you and drawing on the same power source, it might be what’s causing problems also. Hope this helps.

[@mikeznel6048]

Best way to learn. That way, you know what way too hot is.

[@kobechapman4118]

you can also google the specific electrode you’re using. the manufacturer will often have suggested setting provided on their website, in my experience they’re usually pretty accurate

[@c.j.gonzalez830]

Good stuff Matt! 🔥

[@clintoncapilla3030]

Awesome.thanks Matt

[@i_9_power_allah321]

For shipyard test, they want you to run stringer beads the whole test. Which makes since for the amount of heat in a weave bead,that heat changes widens grain structure.

[@WarzoneUser01]

yea most structural welding jobs only allows stringers or has a set bead width you need to match.

[@dnice.757]

I'm an instructor at newport news shipyard and we don't allow stringers on test it has to be weaved

[@urickalexander5057]

This video real helped thank you

[@mainesteam4636]

Something to consider, if you can use power tools, on the fill passes don’t strike ahead. Light up behind where you stopped and grind off that high start. You don’t have to worry about burning out your start when you do that. It doesn’t work on the cap passes because you’ll have a grind mark on the cap then.

[@xaserizm]

i wouldn't recommend doing that it will create bad habits

[@zachpiller7653]

@@xaserizm some places require you start at the back of your crater and grind it afterword that’s how trane technologies in la crosse worked for all their weld tests whether it being ASME or PED

[@xaserizm]

@@zachpiller7653 that's works but what about for the cap??

[@zachpiller7653]

@@xaserizm The way trane engineers want it done is the same throughout they dont care about a little grind mark. How its actually done on the floor is the proper way through out. Mind you this weld engineer thought that the green gas hoses were for flammable gas and red hoses were for shielding gases. So hes an idiot.

[@thatwelderlife3554]

In canada we have the cwb test. There 2 place where you need to do a stop start. They actually test these stop starts

[@wubz_z4435]

I appreciate the video. It's really hard to find one as detailed as this one. I've been practicing for my test coming up. The only thing that was different is the guys hasn't told me anything about a backing bar. Maybe we don't do that here in Indiana. I wish we did though because how you put your first pass in is way different than the way I've been told to do it...? Hmm

[@ScarryMarian2012]

Nice nice nice ! But at the last bead you had few spots where you didn't actually fused the bevel edge,i saw that 😀 Keep that rod burning bro !

[@kezzack]

Interested in getting into welding: was wondering what that squeeky noise during the welding is? Only heard it in a few of the welding vids I've watched and wondered if it was maybe static reaching the mic or something else

[@marioneallin7400]

Hi, I have a question, if I have half rod that I have used before the mechanical strength of the joint will be the same or lower than the previous weld done with a new stick? I know that in some factories half used rod are thrown away for this reason

[@zonk834]

In LA and this is what I’m currently practicing for. We’re all led to take the path of this test. Any serious welder you see in my school is either working towards this test or has already done it and moving to overhead or flux.

[@beachboardfan9544]

Why don you use a copper backing plate instead of a steel one? Doesnt that steel one need to be ground off?

[@gavinhughes6054]

You weld steel to steel. Your root is burned into that backing strap to make one solid part. If you out a copper backing you'd encounter all sorts of problems. Sometimes that plate is ground off, machined off, or sawed off
