Arc Welding with 6010 - Till the Cows come home

weldmongerstore.com/
www.weldingtipsandtricks.com/a...
Video shows padding beads using 6010 rods. This is a fundamental exercise that most welding schools use. I think using 6010 rods for padding beads is a better choice than 6013 welding rods because 6010 is the rod used for open butt root passes and that is the skill needed to get a good paying welding job.

Thank you! I'm 68 years old and this is exactly what I'm doing in welding class and I needed to know what it was supposed to look like.

[@Mechanicalcircus1]

Thats awesome never too old to learn a new skillset

How are you doing? Mate at 74! I hope all is well and you’re thriving living life to the fullest!….(All Love) ❤️

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

that reminds me of a story. on a written pipefitter test. the question asks to calculate how many gallons of water are in 20 feet of 6 inch pipe. Fitter scratches his head and says " I dont even know how long a gallon of water is"

[@ryderbolton2135]

Totally different technique than I was showed to do but I’m going to give it a try, seems a little easier then the technique I was taught.

[@horaciosalinas8145]

I have a everlast powerarc 200 sti with the 6010 capabilities but i cant get it to work ! It stick to plate or dig too much I dont know if you know any right hot start and Arc froce settings to start with

@@horaciosalinas8145 Try setting the arc force high for 6010

[@rlbennett]

weldingtipsandtricks I was with some coal miners they were trying to figure how much water a certain length of pipe would hold. One guy got up cuts off a foot of pipe filled it with water and poured into a measuring cup from the kitchen

[@robertschulke1596]

None. The pipe has been emptied for welding.

[@dylanbeasley6320]

I’m a senior in high school and also in trade school, I think this video will help me a lot. By seeing how much slower you go and seeing how long you stay in the puddle. I’m gonna do this exact same thing in the shop and see how much better my beads get. Thank you for these videos

[@impulse2779]

how did it go?

[@litemup67]

This was great timing, I just bought a bunch of small scrap pieces two days ago and this provided some great direction. Thanks for taking the time to make the video!

[@wmoli872]

Working the pad with SMAW today in class. This video was an ENORMOUS help. Thanks.

[@glossblack2045]

Looking back on it, this man and his free content seriously taught me more about welding than my high school AND college welding instructors ever did up here in ND. i would go home and binge on his content and then go to class the next day and practice it. Now 10 years later im a home owner and landlord. God bless.

[@ABAYBAZ]

Same thing bud. Three weeks into my first semester and I have no idea how to weld properly and theirs no guidence or a deadline for assignments (I keep being told I'm "doing great" and to not worry about the tests).

[@kaylastone7820]

I tried 6010 today and I'm getting to much liquid going to slow but I just started today so we will see. I'm watching your videos and they are a big help my teacher told us about you and I watch as much as I can. My husband is proud that I'm taking welding. Thank you your videos also help me.

[@IsaacOLEG]

Kayla Stone so you cannot talk wedding, only welding ;) have fun with that art.

[@leonardpearlman4017]

AMERICA is proud that you're taking welding! It's not a bad idea to watch this video a few times, and try to do exactly what you see here. I'm doing that for maybe the third or fourth time now, you see more in the video after you've tried it a few times. Good luck!

[@trappistachel]

Your advice on padding beads is the best advice you can give. Why? It helps! It has helped me a lot and I'm just a hobbyist.

[@CloudKickerSon]

Been scouring KZbin and google for help with this. My lines look terrible day 1 and Ive been obsessed with improving since I got out of class. 3 day weekend before I can give it another go and its killing me. Going to try your technique. Best video I've found. Thanks.

[@Jrez]

You say this is the second or third thing you do in welding school, but that is the first thing I did in my course. So far I've only worked with 6010 1/8 and 5/32 first on flat plate, then horizontal, and currently on horizontal fillet. About 6 weeks in maybe? Haven't been keeping track. Your videos have been a huge help as have Steve Bleile. Both of you are so friendly it's very welcoming.

[@spud0709]

Thank you for another great video. You inspired me to break out some of my seldom-used 3/32" 6011 and start a pad. Good tip on using a bucket of water; keeps the pad from getting hotter and hotter and hotter. This allowed me to run bead after bead, meanwhile, my little Lincoln 180 amp buzz box, (with home-built rectifier), was getting hotter and hotter and hotter. Don't know by how much I exceeded the 20% duty cycle, but I still couldn't put my hand on the transformer 10 minutes after I called it quits! Doh!

[@calvinhandley2373]

I had a flashback to 1984 watching this video. You sound exactly like my old welding teacher, Terry Block, at San Diego City College. He started us off on 6011, and after we got comfortable with striking an arc he switched us to 6010, because that's what they used in the shipyards. I remember one night he had me run 6013, just to see what it was like, then it was back to 6010. Next was 7018. Another night he gave me some 7024 and 7028 to practice with. It ran like butter. So easy. The it was back to 6010 roots and 7018 stringers and cover passes.

[@gimli4you]

I’m taking welding at my community college and I’m learning 6010. This video was very helpful thank you.

[@dew-drop]

Did this exact practice in high school. I cannot even remember how many pieces of metal I went through, but eventually got perfect beads all across the metal. It was probably the most beneficial practice I did.

[@ijacob11]

thanks for the tips and techniques Jody, ill be sure to use your cursive e MIG technique, and the whip & pause for 6010 in my welding class. ive used the mig technique previously but was going too far out and a bit fast, after re watching i think i got it down. I'll be sure to give you the credit if my instructor asked where the hell i learned this from. i'm even recommending your videos to be shown to the future welding classes in my school.

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

I love to hear the old school stories like that. I heard of a brazing test on round stock where brazing overlay was done and then the part was chucked up in a lathe and cut till smooth...if there were inclusions, you failed. how bout this one...at my school we had to weld a 4 foot long vertical tee. Guys who like to hang around the coke machine too much were made to wear their 4 foot tee joint on their neck anytime they were outside the booth.

[@jagger21256]

I appreciate the video, I am a first semester student, I am struggling with the whip and pause technique, this has helped, thanks again

[@MutantHippieGaming]

I am a welding student and have just started this exercise, will give this whip and pause technique a go :D

[@badline8621]

This is exactly what I needed to see. Thank you.

[@jhoppie27]

I wouldn't be surprised if Jody has some background in education or pedagogical theory. He's always talking about intention, taking chances, connecting one lesson to the one before and after it, etc., and his instruction seems very well planned (as if with a consistent focus on intention and learning objectives). This would have a lot to do with why his videos are so informative and effective. It's refreshing :-)

[@IsaacOLEG]

Thank you i am in high school and in my metal fab class we are pading pieces and despite me being a fairly good experienced stick welder I had no idea how to pad metal

[@randysiemens5491]

Thank you so much for your great instruction. I have always stuck to 6013 & 7018 for farm and my rural machine shop but I acquired over a thousand pounds of 3/32” 6010 rods still sealed in cans at an auction. I was determined to learn how to use them. I actually love them now and since I watched your videos I’m improving. About to weld up a coral with 2 3/8” schedule 80 pipe. Should I continue using the 3/32” rod or switch to 1/8”? Thanks again, Randy

[@bdwrc3170]

I’ve always had a lot of trouble with this rod, at this point I can say I hate using this rod, to much spatter burning through a lot, I’d always you 7018 but you know, not the one I typically wanna learn, this video is great for me so Thankyou very very much

[@lablue350]

I am barely starting to use 5p 6010. . Practicing and so far so good with this technique whip n pause and sometimes just dragging it downhill taking my time. Both look good . I am gonna watch as many videos as I can because right now I have the opportunity at work to look at how welders do the root and hot pass. I'm also practicing walking the cup with argon it works pretty cool. Very good videos brother ,thanks

[@DoritoMcBeef]

I did the opposite! I sucked at oxy but I'm doing well at arcing. Today was my first day with SMAW but I can rip an arc no problem. Stick with it, it gets easier go over your beads with your instructor. Try to tell THEM what you did wrong before they tell you. This will help you get used to being able to recognize weld faults. Keep at er and good luck!

[@reesefersketch3174]

thank you 😁 I'm getting better slowly

How are you doing now? It's a trade that takes a lot of practice. There is a reason we will be paid so well haha If you have instagram, you should follow me! I post all my school stuff there. PS: Just got a Miller Digital Infinity hood, Can't wait to go to school and use it hehehe

[@TheDadPenfield]

I noticed you raised up slightly when you went back to the puddle on the return of the whip. Are you supposed to raise up or keep the arc length identical as you whip?

[@dorsetengineering]

Really interesting to see, very limited use of 6010/11 here in the UK, it is nearly all 6013 and 7016. I have some 5p+ but rarely get them out. Bohler Phoenix 6013 is the go-to rod in my box now, with some 7016 thrown in. I'll try and send you some, you can make a video about them :) We should have a 'send-a-rod-to-jody' month

Thx Jodie!

[@grantpatullo]

The equivalent rods in Australia from BOC are 6011=Ferrocraft 11, and 6010=PipeArc 6010P or Fleetweld 5P. Hope this helps.

[@chadmoyer1453]

I just usually take grinding brush after each pass but also use chisel as well. Very good influential video. However would've liked to hear more about amps in relation to uphill, horizontal and flat as well as base thickness. Thank God.

Old school pipefitter test: 10 sticks of 3/4" threaded pipe. First section hooked up and the water turned on. Fitter that was able to thread the next nine sticks together before water ran out...passed.....everyone else failed. Told to me by one of the old fitters who said he passed, back in the "good old days"!!

[@MrDirtysteve75]

Thanks for the tip. We're using more and more 6010 at work so I bought some and am practicing at home. This should help.

[@DipperDown]

Thank you, Im learning this for the first time (18 in college) and this video is really nice- lets see how I do lmao!

[@nuclearcowboyyt]

Great video, it helped me out a lot, but i have a few questions. What kind of current did you set your welder on? DCEP, DCEN, or AC? What was your amperage set on? I usually have mine on at 100A.

[@DuchessofEarlGrey]

Chris Sedberry DCEP is required for 6010. The last digit not only tells the electrode coating's composition (in this case, cellulose and sodium) but it gives the required current as well. Amperage requirements are affected by the diameter of the electrode. According to a chart I was given for school, 100A is only good for 1/8" 6010. 100A is too hot for 3/32" and too cold for 5/32".

[@Geh4h]

6010s is my best friends!!

[@artgoat]

We started class with 6011. On AC. My teacher said "if you can weld with 6011 on AC, you can weld with anything."

[@essexviewer]

Great video. Many thanks, I just ordered 5kg of rods!

[@leonardpearlman4017]

We were joking about this at work: How much weld do you need to deposit to get anywhere? Which led to the idea of having a scale, so you could weigh each student's practice piece before and after... SO, one of the requirements of a class might be that you have to burn up fifty pounds of rod or something. Five kilos is a lot!

[@briangovender6155]

Hey Jody, just want to say great videos there man. Keep it coming. I got a question...what # welding lens do you use when making these videos. They are so clear that you cant go wrong even if you want to. Are the lenses on your camera and helmet the same, thanks again.

[@elsart0]

Hi folks. Rapid question on the 6010 : what are the minimum characteristics of a welding machine to run them well? Is the 6011 type more forgiving about the equipment? My machine is a Telwin ADVANCE TIG227MV, if it may help. (Side note, I write from Italy and the 6011 is quite rare)

[@cgray1984]

I feel like I'm learning more from you than my 14k school. I was just looking for 6010 videos! I'm working on Open butt 4g bevels. I spent a lot of time on 3g and was hoping for some insight on 4g.

[@reptilianash3653]

Was that 14k worth it 8 years later?

[@cgray1984]

@@reptilianash3653 it really depends on your perspective. I took a welding job out of school and decided there was too much focus on “time in” vs actual skill. Finished the project that company was working on and quit. I gained a lifelong skill and I’ve used it over the years for personal and side jobs, it’s more than paid for itself, not to mention I did pay off my student loans using only income from welding. It was worth it to me, 100%

[@richardsmart2255]

This is what I've gotta do. I haven't burned a 6010 with my powerarc welder in soooo long. Need some practice.

I'm in welding school and taking my vertical and horizontal class this semester. I'll try this whip and pause technique, but really I've just put my amps at 65 and run a straight line with the occasional whip back if need be. Though I need to get some more metal on the backside of my roots, so perhaps this will do that for me? :)

[@debourmom]

I hate 3f. Im doing the lap joint in the verticle position I weld from top to bottom and when I do it its all convex, but when its horizontal its flush and looks good. I had the same problem with not getting enough penetration now I just shove the electrode to where the sparks fly out the back.

When the camera shows that welding you see a beautiful pool. Is that what you see with your eyes through your helmet ? I think my helmet seems brighter than that and i wonder if i need to get darker filtering ?

[@leonardpearlman4017]

You can easily change the shade of your helmet filter! I think all helmets come with a Shade 10, but you can buy anything from Shade 5 to 13 or 14 I think. Just go up one number, they're only a few dollars. You might want to change for different situations, so it's well to have a little collection of them, plus a bunch of the clear cover pieces which tend to get burnt up.

Are you using the 6010 with Ac or DC? I read somewhere that 6010 was for use with DC current and 6011/6013 was used with AC current.

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

DC electrode positive. you are right 6010 is only for DC so if all you have is an AC stick welder, then 6011 works pretty well.

[@BuckShotFTW]

What is your amperage on this exercise?

[@IsaacOLEG]

Hello Jody your 3 steps Walz is measured at 72 bpm with a metronome (;)) I am (slowly)beginning to understand that technique (how do you name the different "walks" ) It is used for "open root" is not it ? but , is there a "keyhole" when welding flat like there ? ( is the key hole a real opening ? I thought it was just the shape of the hot imprint of the puddle ?) things seem to be way more subtle that I envisaged, but indeed when the job begins to flow , one feel the puddle manipulation and that works only within a certain temperature margin and a certain speed. Small sticks are not ideal I will use 1/8 to train. is it necessary to obtain those even spaced "washers" ? is it the proof the 3 steps action was well done ? in brief what is the goal ? I understand you take half of the pudling and spread it forward. is it ? I am really unsure that the inverter helps to learn , if it raise the amps when the stick get close . May be I am wrong, maybe also the inverter can be set with that control on off for the learning curve I apologize for my beginner questions, not asking mean no answers ;)
