[@yzmaximus]

Got my start in the pipe department at a US Navy Shipyard. They also made us use 7018 for the root in the corner of a booth 2G and 5G and made an emphasis to grind every start. Also had to do TIG in the same scenario and both were 6" pipe ~ half inch wall. The bowl legged old fart giving us the initial instructions yelled at us young boys no back stepping on starts....grind, grind grind. Ended up being an ace mirror welder on hydraulic lines arrayed. I'd do so much mirror welding I sometimes had a hard time tacking something for someone without a mirror. Good times. Great video and skills. We never tried it on DCEN though.

Great idea using a remote for the root pass, i would love to see that become a standard here as well. Also i can tell you from 20 yrs experience welding that the 7018 root is much harder to master, again nice job.

Very nice work. Haven't come across that procedure here in Canada for pipe. I have heard of a similar technique used for piping used as a structural component, like a pile.

[@NSW]

DarrinsFarm Thanks! Here in sweden no one knows how to run a 6010 root anymore. we stopped using it for about 30years ago. 7018 gives better welding quality witch is better suitted for cold conditions and more resident to cracking than a 6010.

[@DarrinsFarm]

Crazy how ideals can be so different. Here pipelines that are being buried are welder all the way out with xx10 rods downhill. Makes me want to work in different countries just to see how they do things differently. Always wondered why esab rods said ok on them. Just assumed it was a quality control thing.

[@Newfoundlander86]

We use 7018 roots in Canada. I'm guessing you are out west ? Here in NL at the Come by Chance refinery all the stick roots are 7018. The only difference is we run reverse polarity. Which is harder to run than straight.

So when you getting in position to do 7018 you don’t have to be so far away from the pipe, because it makes me feel uncomfortable, my teacher told me to do that… when your doing the bottom right can you get a little closer and work your way up as you turn your wrist?

Hello NSW, I'm enjoying your video about the 6g 7018, want to try this process tommorow what is your pipe land and gap. Your penetration was outstanding and uniform, I've had a hard time using 6010 for the root either uphill or downhill. HELP

[@NSW]

I run reversed polarity on the root. With 2.5mm land and 3-3.5 mm gap. A remote makes the root mutch easier. Good luck with your welding.

[@АндрейКлименко-к7ы]

Started with pipe training ( 159 mm 8.1mm wall ) and can't figure out how to handle the cap pass with 7018 3.2mm rod . The problem is that I can't control the heat from 4 to 2 o'clock and it doesn't matter if I do stringer or weave . Is the wall thickness to thin or is the technique wrong ? Also I saw a comment from Fildres from an old video and he recommended to do an upside down U shape rod manipulation, hold a tight arc on the sides and long arc it on the middle to flatten the molten metal and I really works but still looks to hot. Thanks again for your help and tips on the 7018 root pass and your amazing videos and arc shots.

[@NSW]

+Андрей Клименко hard to give advice without seeing it. First try to keep your arc consistent. Arc length about half of the rod 3.2/2=1,6mm is about right. Aim rod at the centre of the pipe. Try amperage between 105-120 somewhere around that should work. If u long arc a 7018 to much you will get porosity. Z or u weaves have little effect by comparing with 7018. Good luck with your welding.😉

[@АндрейКлименко-к7ы]

Thanks again for your feedback.

[@beetlejuice4749]

I think they called it "straight polarity". Welders would try it every now and then with 5p on pipeline. A good inspector could catch them in the act if he kept his s am/fm radio on a.m. Win around the bead hands. Thanks for the video

[@NSW]

Yes, you're right about the polarity I got it wrong there. About the polarity its a little different in Europe compared with US. In Europe its what the wps allows you to do is what matters. In fact this filler from ESAB is recommended from the manufacturer to run on dcen for the root pass. Thanks for commenting and watching. Have a great day.

By the way I have been using a Fronius MV180 and I like it.

[@NSW]

Thanks for comment. 7018 gives a more ductile weld that is more resident to cracking. I think that's why we are using 7018 instead of 6010. plus a 7018 weld is prettier to look at. Fronius makes great machine's. If I rate welding machine's 1 kemppi 2 fronius 3 esab. Thanks for watching

[@mrbones4399]

Thank you for your videos man! You have got some of the best arc shots on the web right now, it's astounding how clear the puddle is and it makes it all that much more educational for us guys trying to get into the trade. All the technical info is seriously appreciated, really solid advice and it shows you know what you're doing. Cause of this video I decided to try 7018 on DCEN for fun and found it produces as good a weld as EP, at least for my applications as a student. Sound threw me off but when the slag came off it surprised me. Really not all that different appearance wise. Question: At 2:53 and 4:21 are you using a passive lens filter? It's pretty impressive that you were able to locate the stop/bevel with the hood down. I've been learning on a passive and I find that if I don't start almost immediately after dropping the hood I lose my position and have to take a peek again.

[@NSW]

mrbones Thanks for the nice feedback I really appreciate it. yeah it's right I only use passive filters. have tried some speedglas helmets and they are nice. but I like things that work and a passive filter allways work. And I allways hit the right spot once the lights go out 😁 but I guess it all comes down to training.

[@IsaacOLEG]

Hello, I am a dedicated learner but not a student, in my 4th month of stick welding (almost daily so results show uo) I did verify what was said to me, that passive helmets are better for the ones that wear progressive glasses, like me. But, at some point , and because I need a N°10 screen to see well and I do not have yet the glass that strength for my 3M hood, I had to switch "back" to the LCD hood (not a cheap one, but the view is less clear than with glass). I noticed that I did make a good step in my learning, as I could envisage what I see , from a little farther, and with a part of imagination, relying on the shapes of the colors, the sound of the arc , and may be other that I am not conscious of. I was said and we can see that on videos, professional welders more often use passive helmets . Greetings

[@mrbones4399]

That's really cool, thanks for clarifying and writing back dude. I hope to develop that kind of muscle memory eventually. I'm still having minor trouble on a basic flat t-joint fillet as far as high spots on the start and uneven leg lengths between the two segments, and don't get me started on vertical :D. Sometimes I get one that looks textbook perfect but that's very few and far between. I'm with you on your sentiment about passives. I've tried a handful of AD hoods and they gave me nothing but problems. Usually uneven dark/light spots on the screen that would get worse depending on the angle your head was turned at. Just bad luck I think. Sadly they were a waste of money for me, and now they're sitting collecting dust. Got a couple of passive shades on me all the time now if I ever need to swap. Anyway carry on making these awesome videos, looking forward to whatever is next.

[@IsaacOLEG]

Hi, I was said the normal progression is to first focus and look "only" at the puddle, sending it where we want and keeping its shape consistent. Then at some point we see we can begin to look from a little farther and then we understand that we look at more things at once. Hopefully, as what we see is never so much once the mask is on. Regards

[@rickardandersson366]

It sounds like the 7018 is some kind of hard impressive thing to use abroad...here in sweden we are not even offered something else,we dont know how to use other "easier" rods. If we are Lucky it could be offered some special root Rod like Elga p47 wich can be welded good in lower ampere like 62-65 If wanted. Most welders use ok 48.00 and weld with 70 ampere or more without controller and + is on rod

[@IsaacOLEG]

I like that much, thank you.. So the gap close because if the heat? Is it dangerous to make swings out of the puddle just to keep the heat from raising? You said it : keep the rod at the edge of the puddle, this matters with 7018 then... But, in the end the heat should not raise so much with DCEN plus the aperture just behind the puddle, that question was stupid. 48.00 "are excellent, the easiest 7018 I tried (but the Lincoln are cheaper)

[@NSW]

+Isaac OLEG the gap close when the metal cool down it shrinks. To swing 7018 like a 6010 is no good. First the long arc cause porosity. And a long arc also increase the heat. If heat is something that you are worried about weld it slow with a tight arc not fast with a long arc. And like allways quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten.

[@henryrollins9177]

Nice job sir

[@IsaacOLEG]

Hello, I appreciate much that video, thanks. I am learning "seriously" since 3 months with stick only. (not particularly to be a pipe welder, but for my personal use) I wonder how do you regulate the 'dig' function for that first "penetration" pass , do you make something special ? The process with 7018 is really different from the 6010 keyhole , no way to keyhole with those rods ? Thank you, and I hope for new videos ;) Regards

[@NSW]

thanks for the comment. you see this machine has automatic adjusting of the arc force ( dig) otherwise I adjust the heat on the rootpass with a remote control. some people run 7018 with a keyhole ( less gap and land) but I think this is the best way. it works for me and you get really good control of the puddle. I will upload more in the future and that's a promise . September probably. have a great day 😉

[@IsaacOLEG]

Thanks for the answer, the way that this arc force function works may create difference between welding machines, I found it interesting to detect what it is precisedly doing, as at first I was annoyed by it, so I want to separe the arc and the supplement, with more experience I will find ways of using that at my advantage Best regards

[@IsaacOLEG]

Northern Sweden Welding BTW is a good arc force function reacting with the rise of the heat? (it may change the voltage, is not it, when heat rise?) I thought it was essentialy a function to preserve arc energy despite small unwanted motions from the welder. Do you know if rutilo cellulosic rods are digging enough to be used with a whip and bead motion? (6013 special with 30% or more of cellulose, the problem for pipe may be hydrogen then, but for less critical weld?)

Eric Artizuela its a faster and safer way to put the root in. I have welded a lot of pipes that has passed x ray and porosity has never been a issue. In fact esab that makes the rod recommends to do it this way. Thanks for watching and comment 😊
