5G Pipe Welding On 8" - 6010 & 7018 Weld

[@derekseiders3597]

7018 is my favorite rod to weld with, I learned about how to to watch for porosity on start up and how to avoid that. Thank you for the great videos

[@bilalbouabdallah1901]

Hi br me too my favorite rod to weld

[@longrange1114]

Was just thinking " There's something therapeutic about watching a guy weld" , then 8 minute in the relaxing music started up. Good stuff. Appreciate the vids.

[@co24v62]

I’m a traveling welded for 6 years now, done pipe once and I sucked at it. But I swear watching your videos makes me feel like I could do it no problem lol. Great stuff

[@co24v62]

Although I do have some questions I would love to have answered, I’m used to the new Miller machines with a digital readout for amps so on “150 range” at “40” would that put you at 60 amps or is my math wrong ? That seems low but again I’m not a pipe welder. Also Welty don’t you get all of your slag out of the way before restarting wether it be ‘10 rods or ‘18 rods? Seems like an easily avoidable fail point to me just by wire wheeling your slag? I can’t say Thanks for the videos enough. You’re a huge help in the welding world not only for me but also thousands of others.

[@kenellis8353]

This video was really helpful because I always struggled when I was testing out in MIG, or “STICK” welding on pipe, in Vocational School Welding program!! Keep doing what you’re doing, because it’s VERY HELPFUL!!!

[@spudth]

Just found you. My first thought was: hey, Paul Williams (Singer and actor). Then as I watched you weld I recalled how soothing the sound of stick welding is. I grew up on a farm stick welding in the 70's. Later moved to mig and Tig. Each has its place and in fabricating too many kids discount stick when it's probably the right method.

For Exxon structure pipe we ran 7018 1/8 stringer 5/32 and 3/16 fill all up hill and cap 5/32 and 3/16 down hill with a hot machine most of our pipe was 1.5” to 2.5 “ thick love 7018

[@brianguest561]

theres no doubt 7018 are easier to weld with and restating the importance of cleaning on restarts very helpful good video thanks for the time you take making them and i also appreciate the fact that you dont find it necessary to swear on your channel that means a lot to me .

[@BMGProjects]

That hot pass shows why we run airmovers for 30mins after a weld is complete. The weld looks good, btw!!

[@averageschmo963]

Please explain???? You cool it off prior to next weld?

[@BMGProjects]

It was glowing hot. Air movers pull clean air into a pipeline and draws the flammable gas or vapors away from the weld area. It’s to keep the flammable gas away from an ignition source. 🔥

[@boxendwrench]

The arc from the rod is more of a source then the hot weld.

[@7018dreams]

Great looking work! I love the rolling grinder holder haha

[@Luisangel_Andrade]

My goodness the way you freehand it is phenomenal, I just recently been working with 6inch black pipe and lemme tell you it’s hard to start from the bottom and finish at the top of the pipe. Always gotta rest my shoulder and arm on the pipe. Will perfect it just have a week doing it at my trades school. 💯

Brother, You run a beautiful uphill bead with that 7018 rod, keeping it in the puddle and no whipping the rod. I was a Maintenance Welder 24 years, mostly 7018 repairs on whatever machinery broke at a Can Plant.

[@Theragecheaterlolz]

one thing ive learned during this video, is you being an actual pipeliner, and this was a "test" i thought i should be worried about my welds in the field where im at now, but comparing what ive seen here today, and what i do in the field, im not so bad for a ole rookie pipewelder! Thanks for that. Because ive been worried. It dont all have to be gorgeous, it just has to make it.

[@jackoftrades2126]

It’s still amazes me as a welder after all the years of welding we still forget the ground🙃😆

Great job Austin, restarts and outside the rail. You do a fine job of showing how to work within the lines and using 7018 for capping. I'm learning things I feel are important to doing a better job with MY welding for me. Thanks for sharing. Fred.

[@kswelderman6820]

Austin, been meaning to mention to you. I was in Oklahoma for a day and got within 20 miles or so of Stillwater. If I would have had more time I would have reached out and came and met another fellow welder. Next time I will for sure!!. BTW, Oklahoma roads still suck!! Lol

Is your root uphill or does the WPS specify which direction?

[@ronniepoe3931]

It’s uphill bead to cap

[@repalmore]

There are some things that I hope you might have time to make a video about. High low. I'm guessing it's all about alignment but how to get things aligned etc. Root pass key holing out, what to do when your fitter hasn't made the gap constant etc. Thank you for posting.

I like the practice of welding like you work even if its "just practice". Practice doesn't make perfect... Perfect practice makes perfect. 👌C'mon!

[@bhaktalex]

Picked up on your "arc striking" technique: stick it where you want to strike while your hood is off and then you put hood on and "strike" by "unsticking"…clever. At least that's what I think I saw you do. I also noticed you literally freehand the root…I'm gonna try that. Been noticing that doing the root downhill benefits from some down pressure on the stick…you seem to literally be resting the stick on the root face. I also noticed you fully lay your ass down when starting at bottom which is my weakest point in 5G…I'm gonna try that setup when I get out of school where I can't lay down and have to try to have good visibiliy by torquing my neck 97 degrees…and I still have to kind of guess what's REALLY going on in that puddle down there 😃

Ohhhh I can hear that root, can do a 6010 root pass by sound alone

[@bartbley1269]

Austin Was wondering If you use sound as well as sight to do your bead . When I was doing it sound played a big part in running beads for me . If it looked good and sounded good 99% of the time it was good . 7018 I would fill just below flush and then cap. Over full one would have to dance pretty good so it wasn't ugly. Still wondering if you have tried the pipe saddle scribe I sent. Would make a good video if used right. Another good video

[@n8mail76]

My father in law had given me a couple of welders over the years and I had never gotten around to trying them out until last month. After getting over the adrenaline rush of burning metal with my arch nemesis electricity, I have caught the bug. I've been watching everything I can on KZbin and I started binge watching your channel a few days ago. Thanks for taking the mystery out of welding and helping me find a new passion.

7018 in a hot box makes for a better weld. low hydro will be wet to the end . 150 dergs for 2 days will dry the rod

He has all the gear, which is most important.plenty of room, and most of all, he’s very comfortable. But at the end of this, it’s a good stoving rod that’s required, as cheap ones on the market, makes it all the more difficult for the welder. Nice finish, but personally, I would have done the cap with beads, because I think it looks neater. Some inspectors don’t like the weave. But hey, your good.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

You make that 6010 look so easy. I struggle like the dickens to get a good 6010 root pass on just flat plate. You'd think I'm drunk.

[@mikedavis1714]

The root pass is the hardest to learn but once you figure it out it's the easiest pass you will do

[@user-hn9qg5qm3o]

@@mikedavis1714 Can you please give me any advice for 6010 open root overhead? All I hear is keep it pushed up in there, but it still doesn’t turn out right and gets out of hand. I run it at 85 amps with 1/8” gap and land.

[@mikedavis1714]

85 amp with a 1/8 gap is pretty hot. I would try a 1/16 or 3/32 gap at that amperage keep your rod 90°with the plate or pipe your welding or I like to lean my rod angle slightly toward the direction I'm traveling and it should open up a slight key hole, if your key hole gets too big just scoot your rod back into the puddle for a second and it should fill back in and continue dragging your rod from there, it may require you to step back and forth a few times to close up a big hole but the main idea is to not come back into your puddle for too long or you will have a mess. As far as pressure there is no need to push too hard, if you can imagine making that same pass standing up in a flat position were your looking down on the weld basically the weight of your arm and hand is all the pressure you need if you can mimic that on the over head you should be pretty close, but practice is key sometimes it takes weeks or months in some cases to get it right. For me I practiced every chance I got and tried to watch others as much as I could, I weld pipeline so any downtime we had I was practicing and letting x-ray shoot my welds

[@user-hn9qg5qm3o]

[@wargamingsupernoob]

Man, that's what we did in our stick pipe class in school all night long. 8" sch 40. We did all our passes uphill thought. 6010 root with 7018 for the rest, 1/8" rods for every pass. Roots for me were 75 amps while hot, fill and caps were 95. Wish we welded pipe at work... I miss it. Quick technical question Austin, what's the name of the song at 8:15? I know you've used it in a couple videos before and I love it, but it was never listed in the description.

I am not a stick welder but definitely appreciate the pointers you give. I bought an electric 205A machine to practice welding with and have a good generator to push it. The thickest I weld is 1/4" because it usually fence and gate stuff. For me smooth is fast fast is smooth.

Question, not a pipe welder but I'm using pulse mig on plate. Is it safe to grind every pass like I'm always told grind your toes a bit so you don't see any defects silicon deposits. It feels like i weld grind weld grind for xray as well. I overthink that part only because i just wire wheel silicon usually not go as far as some people where I'm at who grind every single pass down 50 percent of their bead. I kind of scuff the welds and try to clean my toes because apparently lot of people failed because of lack of fusion in their toes.

I am not real good with 6010. I seem to stick it allot more than 7018. 7018 I don't think sticks that easy. But I am really curious about 7010 and 8010. I have never used those two.

7018 usually u just have to drag 6010 etc those are more of a rod u have to mess around with so ur beads can look nice those 2 rods u will use a lot which I say u should master those first

[@zenabu80]

@@raulll0441 I have improved allot on 6010. I figured out a couple tricks that seem to help allot. They are not always the most pretty weld but I have never had one fail. I usually cap with 7018 unless its thinner material. I have never had to test for the welding I have done either though. I am surprised I didn't have to be certified to weld bracing on a crane runway but it was a easy weld procedure all except body position and room to get in there.

I have also always used 1/8th, I got some 3/32 7018 to try that out on some thinner material. !/4 inch with bevels. It's a floppy rod. It's hard to control the rod because it bounces so much. It doesn't help that I am kind of shaky.

That's typically how pipeline procedures are wrote. 6010 root 8010 hot pass and 7018 fill and cap.
