6010 Downhill Root, Fill, & Cap Tips

Visit my store at weldmongerstor... for TIG Fingers, DVDs, and other quality welding tools.
see the full detailed article here bit.ly/2SY9Y9z
In this video you will see a 6010 open root using 1/8" electrode using 1/16" gap and 1/16" land with a 30 degree beveled plate.
Hot pass was done with 5/32" 7010 hyp+ electrode.
This is a practice plate that helps in preparation for the downhill API pipe test.
Plate is much easier to prepare and provides really good welding practice.
Once you have done flat, vertical, and overhead practice plates, you should be ready to weld a 5g pipe test.

Everyone who watches your videos should try filming a weld arc, just to get an understanding of how good you are at it.

[@gsabido19]

Jody i cannot tell you how much I have learned from your videos. I went from $16 a hour to $25 a hour because of you and your videos. Thank you.

[@andycardin4986]

That's what this channel is all about brothah! Jody is all about helping others better themselves. He truly believes that and people like you are proof of it

[@HogsHeadStudios]

Valley Tech has produced some great welders and Andrew Cardin is no exception! Great to finally hear a local accent in a welding video 😉

[@S0lidStewie]

Andrew you are one slick welder 👌

[@cookie86489]

I appreciate all of the content as I am making my way through trade school currently. I have soaked in alot of good helpful knowledge from you that has helped me tremendously and for that I thank you good sir!

[@luke_lewis1630]

This video came out with perfect timing! That's what I'm practicing on right now

[@renanstreetsk8]

I've met Andrew back on WorldSkills 2015 in São Paulo, Brazil. He's such a good welder and a nice guy! Nice job and success with your business!

[@alexrodriquez6451]

Fantastic video. I find I get so much better at stick welding with my everlast stick welder after watching and learning from these videos.

[@yourweddingdance]

Beautiful rod manipulation! I find it hard to have the confidence to move the rod that much but will definitely git it a try.

[@MRTYREMULISHA]

Outstanding arc shots and welding Andrew & Jody,thanks for the insight into downhill techniques.

[@om617yota8]

Thanks Jody and Andrew! Wish I'd have had teachers half as good in school.

[@MultiBotijas]

I learned more by watching Jody's videos than with my teacher.

[@hansolsson3409]

Very nice weld, thank you Jody and Andrew!

[@mexicansuperman123]

Sick welding makes my electrode stand up

[@michaelmorris6482]

Thanks that really helps, my work pushes a non-procedure “procedure” for water pipe with downhand root, one downhand hot/fill pass with 6011 then 7018 cap. I’ve never done downhand before so a lot of my problems are likely skill related, your video made me realize though doing all those passes as one fill pass may be chasing a unicorn.

[@apipewelder4458]

Thanks lot brother for taking your time to teach us a trade

[@CTmoog]

Awesome video man! I always learn something here!

[@pipeline_hank5277]

Awesome timing! I just started pre pipe down hill 6010 plates.

[@ArizonaCowboys]

that dvd looks like a wealth of knowledge. thank you

[@larrykeel2739]

I was taught to weld 6010 uphill root and 7018 hot and out I had never seen it run downhill before

[@trappistachel]

Yay! More stick welding videos!

[@DavidTheCarpenter]

That video demonstrated a lot of good technique. I found that strike and really long arc interesting.

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

Video and commentary = excellent information. THANKS!

[@Cod-Convict]

I hate doing 6010 circles but a lot of people do it I can do it but I prefer the little crescent moons going down hill are like a c type motion, and I while all other positions except uphill I do the upside down t but that’s why I love welding evryone has a different way and you can always change things up great video also I do drag when I can

[@migdaliamartinez4578]

Puedes hacer escritura en español es muy interesante sus videos

[@terrminatoragain461]

Thanks Jody and Andrew !

[@johnsricke7236]

Hi ya , question ? Ever try a 6010 3g vertical up with DC -- on 3/8 plate 37 deg , 3/32 land and face , I'm not a pro but I'm try to master the 3g position with the help of your videos . I actually switched my Ranger 8 to DC neg and made a root pass vertical up and it seemed to go in really well without any trouble . I'm using Lincoln 5 p 1/8 at 80 amps . Thanks John R.

[@kevinreardon2558]

ABom79 recommended you and I can see why. I wish my eyesight was good enough because I really have enjoyed welding from the second time I saw "the puddle". The first time I was like in Junior High and thought I messed up. I look back on it now and recognize that was the first step into something magical.

[@Erwin-eo7iv]

Nice puddle view, and control over the puddle

[@agustinhernandez6094]

Thanks jody for all you do

[@spkrman15]

Some different technics. I'm going to try some of those. Great video guys

[@SteadArcFab_Ministries]

Great video guys! Thanks some much for all the time spent!!!

[@nosferatu49426]

Awesome close ups. Could really see the puddles reaction. Very cool. 😄

[@weldHAGOJIBI]

You look great today, too. Great.👍

[@llen6970]

Andrew, your doppelganger/twin lives in South Africa and is a good friend of mine. You guy's are exact twins, face, build, hare, smile, voice, his name is Andries.

[@precisionarc]

Great video showing technique and arc shots. Also JD's 2019 Fabtech countdown clock at 5:53

[@downhilldaddy9346]

That dvd series is a great tool. No phone can help like that.

[@RanjitSingh-dl1wi]

Perfect welding 🔥👏

[@jeffgrier8488]

Great video, there's an education in every one of them!

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks Jody

[@humberoestrada388]

Tanks Jody for you videos, good job

Man I love downhill

[@anomall]

I’m sure if you translate these video discs into Russian, then many people will want to buy your masterpiece, I love your KZbin videos I feel sorry for the language I don’t understand.

[@ArcEyeJames]

I just love how his hands are stable to stay in the beveled edge perfectly all the way thru

[@samyfajard2906]

[@fabianmoya9896]

Love watching this video

[@sergioramos6851]

How do you weld aluminum with electrode? You are the best ones. Please give me an advice because my welding with aluminum is horrendous

[@RaulRodriguez-pc3fm]

I past a few of these when I went to western tech. 8 in row

[@tamegomait]

I was on hotpass on a 600km 12” job 4mm rod at 200-210 amps it varied

[@billmcyrus]

Now here's a question I don't think I've heard answered: other than it's the procedure, what's the reason that 6010 is used as the rod for the root instead of the 7010 or 8010 you usually finish the rest of the pipe with?

[@andycardin4986]

Hey Bill, that is a great question. I cant give you a straight answer on that because I honestly don't know for sure. Maybe it has to do with the fact that re-qualifying a procedure takes alot of money. Also, some pipes dont necessarily need to have 7010 or 8010 throughout the whole joint. If you look in Lincolns catalog, they state that both 7010 and 8010 can be used for open root. That is about as good of a guess I can come up with. Hope that helps

[@paulmeersa7162]

A 6010 gives a lower tensile weld metal that is often more ductile, more crack resistant than a 7010 or 8010. When welding pipelines, structures, things likely to move when putting in the first few passes of an open root joint, the roots are subject to a lot more stress than when the weld is filled out, and can crack easily - especially if you use a strong filler. Usign a weaker, more plastic filler, allows the weld to stretch more before it breaks - if at all. It gives you a bit more leeway to work with in the field when keeping everything perfectly still and stress free is just not a reality. Chewing gum vs crunchy lollies if you like. :) It is not until you are 1/3 to 1/2 the way out that a joint starts to be mechanically strong enough to avoid any serious likelyhood of cracking, typically 1/4" and more full circumference/length. The lower strength also helps [a little bit] to avoid hydrogen induced cracking, typically supplying less carbon allowing more crack resistant microstructures to form....or so the theory goes.

[@paulmeersa7162]

The bubble looks suspect, does it not? :):)

[@ricardopalma4542]

Hello, I'm a high school student and I'm trying to work on my vertical up t joint more than anything my 6010 root pass and I was wondering if you could do a video about tips for that type of weld.

[@RaulRodriguez-pc3fm]

I help out to fix things when I can or if someone shows me it's always good. Plus I pipe weld making things and its k sometimes I over welded it I need to just leave it alone when it's a nice weld.

[@Thaipeople196]

Well done awesome welding.

[@ifell3]

That was lovely, now I just want to get some heavy plate!!

[@vincentboucher2547]

Man! The 6010 we run at school is a no where near as smooth as what you show in the video. Can it be because of different machine or different rod?

[@BrandonBigB956]

More than likely the machine.

[@davisleemiles3113]

As a student of welding how are we supposed to practice on all these different machines? I practice 6g at my school in the evenings but they only have one kind of machine.

[@johndowe7003]

you know how to weld? build a jig lol

[@vendetta1306]

Much obliged

[@sacrifcialgoat]

this was a great video thank you

Luv your videos

[@АртКрот]

How everything turned out beautifully, what is the name of these electrodes or brand?

[@jenecherujenecheru3382]

Lastimosamente no se ingles, trato de ayudarme con traductor google, me gustan sus videos son muy profesionales, de mucha ayuda, espero q algún dia puedan poner subtitulos en español por favor, seria mas practico.

Any tips on 6010 5/32 uphill fill and cap on 10 inch pipe in 5G?

[@krissullivan593]

Great video. I’d love to come and demonstrate with you

[@mightylaidlow1]

Grind the root smooth and a cap weave? I bet the internet and KZbin pipe pros/inspectors will have something to say about that. Lol

Undercut!!! Just kidding Thanks for the awesome video Jody 🙏👊🏻 man Andrew is really a good welder with tons of knowledge same with you Jody.

[@brandonlee9476]

Are you still planning to make a follow up video on the 7016 rods?

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

yes sir

[@brandonlee9476]

weldingtipsandtricks awesome cant wait for it! Keep up the great work man!

[@ganeshdadi7099]

Thank you

[@jhf3302]

I’m a first year student, I’m more impressed he’s doing all of this with one hand

[@Yeer718]

It’s honestly easier once you figure out welding one handed. I am a student as well

[@tristanburns82]

Sounds like rain to me pity about the sound. What polarity do you run for root runs and caps in u.s.a?

[@sylvestresanchez4848]

Awesome thank you.

[@ManCrafting]

TheBostonWeldah showing how it's done.

[@SRT92]

I failed a test similar to this. It was a 1/8th 6011 down hill on a tjoint with half in plates. My puddle was no where near consistent and clean like the puddle in this video infact, the puddle was just going everywhere, and I had a bunch of spatter. I ran the rod at 110 amps. I figured to move quickly going down hill but I just ended up with a real cold thin bead. What could I have done wrong?

[@RACHIDRACHID-cz3wg]

Good

[@Haems10969]

Sir, why is 7015 not good for downhill welding?

[@l.p.5259]

The only lubetube vidjeyos that are worth watching

[@rileyheusser8333]

I can see this on your camera better then I can through my own hood 🤣

[@user-ff2rd6ot3g]

please specify the brand of electrodes that were welded.

[@sandrastankovic7629]

Does it matter if i weld from bottom to top? Some ppl told me it's better cuz of rod dust.

[@gabrielblouin3287]

I there! That video is awesome! Can i ask you what type of camera you are using?

[@gabrielblouin3287]

I can find any input on that in the Welding tips and tricks forum!

[@OkanCam-qb1di]

Dowin Hill 6010 what is Arc force 100%or more

[@loganlyon9822]

Please can you do 6010 uphill

[@tomekrodak8816]

Teacher, please add movies on dvd Polish subtitles for sure many of us will buy a dvd I put in a fan from Poland

[@RaulRodriguez-pc3fm]

And iron work has a backing plate so I can run hotter and that what they want always hotter is better.

[@smrchannel01]

Ngeri root pass turun😁

[@adamvirgo5384]

Tq bos

[@wahyuangga7260]

Please tell me can do downhill root weld with rod RD7018? Or 6013?

[@alzero4333]

Thanx

[@pedroperez756]

Hi weldingtipsandtricks! I'm trying to find a heavy duty 3 in 1 (all purpose) welding machine. Thank you...

[@Neishy4AGTE]

So the circle technique is basically the back and forth used on the hot pass, with a weave added in, well that's what I get from it anyways.

[@ramiressantos3189]
