I learned about grinding off mill scale from this channel, and when I started paying attention I noticed I was the only one in my shop who did that, and everyone else in the shop told me I was wasting time by doing so. I just let my welds speak for themselves, and watch other guys' welds fail because they didn't do the prep work.

[@danechristmas6570]

Excellent vid! The last time I did that type of weld was during my first year, Mechanical Engineering back in 1987 Only difference is, back then we had to do it manually, even the back gouging ( we used a special type of hollow carbon rods), and we had to first fill the bevel with a stick weld, by hand.( lol I think we used 7018 rods)..Watching this vid brought back lots of memories. Back then I really enjoyed welding practical although my course focused more on Welding & MaterialsTechnology. Thanks for posting and explaining the method used, step by step!

I don’t like it he didn’t wire wheel it after his fill pass and welded right over the top of slag and then you said it would pass it would bust out in any X ray test And then once they bend that part you’ll probably have a good three eights crack in the bend.

Very interesting video. I use these exact same 5\8 carbon rods at my work place but freehand and although they are magic to do backgouges in very thick plates, i wish we'd have this kind of equipment sometimes because its a very hot process that makes a lot of smoke. It would be a dream to watch it from afar ; it's one of my favorite process. Keep up the good work!

[@terrys.3278]

For those asking about NDT inspection. Yes xray would pick up that inclusion, but I'd say depending on what code its inspected under its well within code. Most code allows an inch or better if slag inclusion in every 12 inches. Some are more stringent, some less stringent. Also depends on thickness of base material and and thickness as well as length of inclusion. Most defects including slag, porosity, lack of fusion, hollow bead, and even undercut on some codes have an allowance. Usually cracks are zero tolerance, accept in some codes star cracks under 1/16th are allowable. Like I said it varies with code and material thickness but most, if not all ( I'd have to check) allow some defects. Xray would pick it up, UT would pick it up, RTR would pick it up, Magnetic particle inspection would not, and Liquid penatrant would not. Hope I answer everyone questions.

watching you guys in your element really is a treat. seeing mancub goofing off while theres hot wire being shot out at a mile a minute and the resulting weld still being a damn art piece brings new meaning to the word confidence, and jasons analysis and evaluation of welds and weld processes is both enlightening and fascinating. and you cant forget all the crew who work so hard at making videos like this seem effortless. keep up the good work guys!

[@mike72church]

A.couple of things, First bevel was perfect example of how to utilize a track torch. Second not too bad but my concern is taking of overall width of the part in order to close a gap is almost never an option. If you are back gouging anyway filling a gap and maintaining your overall dimension is always a better option. Also as a structural steel fabrication project manager, watching all the unnecessary manhours used to close a gap you could have just welded was painful. The weldout and machine settings were superb.

[@dmaxxd7213]

Depending on what your building there's usually a tolerance your allowed to give a little leeway. Your right things almost never work 100% the way you'd like. We put in a small stringer in the bottom to close any gaps so there arnt any blow throughs. Then back gouging will take the stringer out and make sure you have fusion you need.

[@justinmcwaters4962]

Exactly. I don't even run a landing on the verts because of just putting a seal pass in it to help prevent a blow-up. It can be a dirty down hand. You're gonna gouge it out. They also had the perfect chance to teach learning students what a key plate and bull pins are and how to use them. Plus the settings they had their wire at we're on the coldest side they could be and still work. Not sure what code he's talking about but API would fail that weld every time with that amount of slag inclusion.

[@TheOfficialMelendez]

Relax your getting wet over a track torch.. Takes nothing to run Trying building one

[@TheOfficialMelendez]

The amount of dross under is a travel speed issue

[@rogertessler6716]

I agree, if the two plates are to finished dimension,then the gap needs filling to preserve the overall width!

[@CRAFT7445]

Coming from a nonwelder, you certainly know how to explain things to a noob. I took shop in HS where we were introduced to MIG and TIG welding, but haven't touched anything since. For those who say manual labor is simple and anyone can jump right in without any education, if you don't know what you are doing you can quickly end up with 3rd degree burns or blind.

[@2loco]

This guy is really cool. The sort of fella you can hang out with and joke around.

[@chrisboyd8198]

old school fix for the bow would be to use your track torch to flame shrink the opposite side from the prepped side. Less time no grinding dust or noise just takes a little skill!

[@evgeniykulivatskiy]

Old school didnt miss physics classes. My mentor did finished college.

[@rossy2998]

Follow the cutting torch with a heating torch on the opposite width side of the plate

[@job38four10]

That was a beautiful flame burn!!! And yes steel moves when being cut with flame, nature of the beast I guess. I know this was a demonstration weld/gouge but if on the real deal would you use ceramic backing or have you ever used it? When ceramic backing is used it eliminates the need for back-gouging with 100% weld. 2nd thing is that defect wouldn't fly welding on Navy ships where buts and seams are UT'd.

[@markfryer9880]

UT'd is that Ultrasonic Tested for those of us who are not hip to the shipyard lingo?

[@mattdillon1735]

We don't weld ships but do allot of DOT work and they UT allot of it and no that would not have passed. And who's to say over 8ft that was the only one. Just caught it in the couple inches they cut out which means there was most likely more.

[@dmaxxd7213]

We run fairly similar setup that you have here while building 89M wind towers from scratch. Take flat stock like so (except about 12'x36') put 15° bevels on all 4 sides. Roll them into a round ring. Put a small stringer (.045 GMAW) in the 12ft seam. Then it gets filled with 5/32" SAW. Which includes AC 1000 and DC 1000 power supplies. After inside filled in the outside is back gouged clean hopefully. Then same thing on outside with the SAW. Both welds are checked by quality, if they pass quality they get X-rayed by an ouside contractor. The ring must be re rolled due to the heat when welding. After they have been deemed completely round they get put on a line where I fit them together in 10 ring sections( towers are 89 meters tall you just can't build them in one section and expect to transport them ). There are 30 rings total so they are built In top, mid, base sections. We have a 15 ton ring cranes and two 45 ton section cranes that we use to move these rings and sections around. Its quite the process. Very cool tho to see someone else doing scaled back version of what I do all day. Btw we use .045" flux core wire when doing repairs on bad welds like lack of fusion or just garbage trapped in it. Also when installing the doors that go at the bottom of the base sections.

I could have used this video a month ago if it was by hand and not with a track machine. The longest weld we had was 2ft so easy to do by hand. We only used 45 wire so it took a few more passes and instead of back gouging we ground it out. We had 30 degree bevels on both sides which I think hurt us in the long run but all welds passed in the long run.

[@bogan4859]

Where i work here in Australia we make vibration screens, sometimes the sidewalls on these machines are so large that we have to weld two stock sized plates together to make one wall, we use an oxy/acet track cutter for the beveling but all the welding is still done by hand, it takes 3 days to produce one wall

I have done this fluxcore welding for the last 15 years. I've done at least 20 of these test. You should have more drag angle on the torch and little bit more travel speed. You shouldn't let the puddle get too far ahead or it will leave slag pockets in the weld which is normally failed weld.

Cool. I suspect the displacement of the back weld has moved over due to the angle of incidence with the wire feed and arc. I have seen that before with my own tests and you know the back grind was centred when you cut it. Never expected any slag inclusion .. must've been just a rogue trap in there. They do show up in the cut often. Like imagine if you cut it an 1/8" to the side (1 way or the other?)

Tack each end of the plates together then run a 1/4" grinding disk through the gap. Grind the tight spots. Cut the tacks and re-bevel. Perfect gap

[@toddgosson8861]

If you were to do it like that you would have to either grind about 1/8 inch of material off of each side the whole length and the whole width of the bevel. That is a ton of grinding. And if you would just to take it from the tip of the top to the tip of the bottom which would be a lot quicker and a whole lot less grinding but you would also lose your 30 degree angle on either side. So I think personally what you did was the right choice

How do you call that flux core welding with gas? And that little black spot does tell me not 100 % penetration, But for structural plate welding it may pass, But for boiler, definitely not. If that's how you correct that cut I say wrong ! As you are shortening the width of the plates Try heat straightening those plates, Apply heat on the outside at the back edge away from the cut, possibly the center of plates. Then quickly cool it It will pull those plates back into shape/ That's how they take the twist and warp out of huge beams rather than removing steel unnecessarily.

problems id like to see covered: i have this wart that appeared. it's on an inconvenient part that shall remain nameless. what do i do? one of you has the answer, i'm sure.

[@crackermcwhitey1364]

This happened to the lone ranger. The lone ranger noticed a wart on an inconvenient part that we'll call a penis(or your favorite descriptive name). He sent Tonto on a mission to find out from a doctor on what to do about the wart on his penis. Tonto arrives at the doctor and explains the issue and the doctor tells him to cut out the wart and suck out the roots. Tonto returns to the lone ranger who inquires what the doctor told him to do...Tonto looks at him and says Doctor says kimosabi gonna die! Better get out your rainbow flag and hope one of them answers your distress signal! Good luck.

When you are welding in this position, you should put the gun little bit pulling angle.
