Had a 3g and 4g test fluxcore today one inch plate, having never done 4g before I was stressing it but I found y’all’s video and went in there and knocked it out like nothing, these guys are the real deal thank you for helping me put food on the table💯

[@elCuhhh96]

That’s awesome man. Where’d you test at

[@jaycollins5380]

Me right now , I have to test out Wednesday… wish me luck guys 💪🏾‼️

[@yxwwb8095]

@@jaycollins5380how’d it go bro

[@AnitaStellium]

Congrats. I will have a 3G and 4G test tomorrow. I've done a simple vertical test before and welded a good amount of dumpsters which included overhead but I'm really scare for this test. It's probably not like the dumpsters.

[@Taymoneytv]

I’m on 4g now them ceramic

[@joeray088]

I always learn more with your easy way to do the welding.

[@marcotte6608]

so this channel uses bots, nice.

[@jeremywatterson9594]

Great demo bro. Not over emphasizing it just straight to the point in a laid back way. Thanks for the humble knowledge

[@chrisrollins9462]

This guy got me through 3g 4g smaw with his style 4g gmaw tonight thanks

[@hectorquiroz1483]

I bombed the hell out of an overhead wire test years ago lol but I have more knowledge now in the field. My second 4g test ever will be this week, so practicing and watching this vid definitely pumps me up a bit more for this test. Thanks man!👌

[@JJ-hm5kd]

How’d it go

[@hectorquiroz1483]

It went pretty well, I used 0.45 wire on it. That job ended so I jumped on with my old job and tested for wire as well. I used that thicker wire and didn’t do so hot lol

[@JJ-hm5kd]

@@hectorquiroz1483 haha no worries. Welding is something that takes a lot of time and skill and that thicker wire can be a hassle too

[@hectorquiroz1483]

Yeah lol I mainly weld stick where we are at, but I wanted to do the wire test that way I have that cert through the company already. I passed it but my cap looked ugly haha next time I grab that wire I’ll practice a bit more with that bigger wire lol 👍

[@jamiehewitt428]

Thank you, I haven't done overhead MIG in 7 years and I was struggling today with a test plate. All down to my root setting and trying to go left to right instead of back to front. Great refresher!

[@ondamoon4544]

I have to test 3g & 4g in a couple of weeks for omega, wish me luck.

[@llcoolj199942]

Omega Morgan?

[@JP94.]

Did you ever get the job ?

[@chrisviramontes5234]

Omega in sandiego????? A ship yard

[@Tmoneyallen25]

Good luck…. Stuck on my 4g groove with backing right now

[@flatwater5]

Loved the shot from the back side of the plate. Really smooth operator. Thank you for this video, man. Respect!

[@chrisbezzeard8622]

I just wanted to say thank you for putting this video out, it has help me out to the extreme in my welding class

[@CanyonArchaic]

Great video. Thank you for the advice. Here they only allow grinding for correction of previous pass. So we use our soap stone for our cap guidelines.

[@Slo6.7]

Abraham always gets down and dirty with the knowledge. Thanks! Straight to the point.

[@matthewmyers3406]

thanks to weldtube for the vids! got some good info on some of yalls stuff that will hopefully help get me thru school and to pass this first weld test/interview i got soon. only 1 con tho, for petes sake, cut back on the ads a bit. i understand like one ad at the beginning but like 2 or 3 ads throughout the vid is distracting

[@donsingko3719]

I always watching for my better improvement in welding .

[@tuckervio3189]

As a trade qualified Boilermaker here in Australia. I like your work and technique!!

[@sylusellis3298]

Good to know I’m not the only one that do guid lines great vid

[@jeffs.5882]

It would be cool if you guys could do a video with ceramic tiles. We use them all the time in the shipyard. Im sure you have shipyard down your way. Could help some people alot.

[@moisesrodriguez2931]

I agree

[@damiang6892]

Nice job bro!! That root was killer!

[@joeciok]

Open root FCAW is a must for any ship building job test. Nice vid man. I wish I coulda found something like this when I started getting into marine welding

[@khiemdoofficial8289]

I recomment you guys put another camera to record your bracing, work/travel angle stuffs like that. Think thats more affective than just looking at the puddle. Anyway this is a cool walk thru 😎

[@mick0073]

This skill will be my next level Great!👍

[@KollinChavez25]

Thank you bro you made me a better welder on overhead!🔥🔥

[@aravinds4995]

I have test for mig welding to Poland in this march last week

Thanks for this video amazing tips I'm about to do this tests 3g 4g love all your vidoes.

[@youngjesus5992]

Rn I’m on my MIG course at welding school and I just can’t manage to get low weld caps. They always sag on me on overhead lmao

[@ale942009]

The wire speed is in inc?

[@beco89inc50]

Is the wire 0.35 or 0.45???? Thanks

[@ktx._.fishing3049]

I don’t know for sure but I’m guessing 0.35 for mig and 0.45 for the flux

[@mikeymoney8676]

What helmet do you have on in this video ?

[@aaronwoodard4413]

That seems really cold. What size wire is that?

[@TruckinWithAlex_2022]

Did he mention what he was running his machine at for fluxcore?

[@LilFish0]

Wonderful welds

[@TuanNguyen-ru3qh]

hi bro .what wire you useing 1/16 fux core or what?

[@0NEH1T_]

MiG is the only one I had problems with cap

[@jonathanlopez4026]

I'm in a welding trade school now. Thanks for the grinding line hack.

[@jademarullo2818]

For the cover passes, when u pass the actual test u got to end it with 2 or 3 passes ? some people told me since the second layer has 2 u must end it with 3... but it seems more logical and easier to me to cover it with 2...

[@efrainberrios8494]

Great video!

[@sukantamondal3033]

please tell me sir Which nozzle is used for overhead position MIG welding?

[@crowningmind5006]

Good day, What is the model of the welding mask?

What wire are you using bro?

[@abdulhamedalessa5573]

Do you have video for 2g butt joint FCAW with baking plate 3/8 plate

[@0NEH1T_]

Since recently I started using guide-lines because it’s kinda hard for me to see with only one eye when I’m doing my cap

[@quintayperry8684]

man thank u so much this really helped me

[@buzz0357]

Have you got a video showing a ‘T’ fillet weld using regular mig wire please, can you message the link?

[@buzz0357]

Should have added overhead weld.

[@toddjuneau4702]

I always like to watch this cat weld, he knows his stuff but in taking these kinds of tests nowadays company's don't allow you to "ossiculate" or move side to side. If they catch you going side to side they will bust you automatically because they simply told you not to do it &/or, your out of welding procedure. The reason that they got out of this welding method because if your inexperienced you'll tend to have undercut which will lead to lack of fusion unless you grind the edges of every pass & especially on the cap if not knowing what your doing you could leave a hairline of undercut where you didn't dwell enough before moving & leave undercut. A very good piece of advise is to run as hot as you can running stringer beads then before you cap the test wire brush it real good but lightly with a powered wire wheel to help cool it down then go take a water break, smoke break, etc. to let that plate cool down to a reasonable temperature so your stringer cap will look nice, slick & uniform. If you think your getting off track, stop! get yourself aligned again & if need be do as Abraham says & cut you a slight grove with a 4" grinder or at least take a straight edge & scribe your path with a soap stone. This is the "money making weld" do whatever you've got to do legally to make the test! Good Luck!

[@braydenkelley1946]

He’s running way to low on wire speed. My WPS (Welding Procedure Standard) says 260-350 on wire speed and 22-27 volts. We use backing strips per our code though.

[@2thousand27]

Thank you man.

[@munnachauhan]

I loved mig fcaw welding

[@bangtorus6962]

how about your voltage n ampere in capping pass bro???pls tell me

[@vimalanicholas204]

Great mate

[@ranchroberts5976]

Basically every video I've seen is of welders pulling the puddle, but the way the gun is held differs. Some like this dude holds it so the wire is shooting the way he faces at maybe a 10/15 degree angle, but others hold it where the gun points at them at the sameb10/15 degree angle. And yet others hold it where it shoots towards them, but the angle is towards the bevel at yet againa 10/15 degreeangle. What I gather is that there isn't a clear way to hold the gun except for the angle and that it is done as it feels most comfortable. Accurate? Thanks in advance

[@Dibulok]

Why do you guys not have automatic shading helmets?

[@thirtyydayzz]

Thats for factory workers and best for rookies. I like the traditional fiber metal hoods. No flash and is a flipup grinding shield all in one. Plus if u drop your expensive autodark shield from 100 feet up you'll be pissed if it breaks. The sturdy traditional hoods wont even scratch lol

[@peteavila910]

Those same people drink bud lights on the weekends bro their confused 😅😂

[@rexdeguitos2540]

Is your welding have a argon?

[@MagicFixers]

Root pass/first pass he’s using c25 mix which is argon and co2 Fill and cap pass he’s using dual shield flux which doesn’t use gas. The wire is coated with shielding that protects the molten metal.

[@motoz3939]

@@MagicFixers all the passes he did used gas. They don't say what gases used though. The first process was a hard wire and the second was a gas shielded fluxcore. Could of been c25 for both or even straight co2. There are other gases however.

I just did my certification 1g-4g FCAW and your Allowed to use a wire wheel on your grinder only
