Pipe Welding for Iron Workers | 6010 Open Root

[@nicholascowlan7743]

The value of how you fix a welding error once it develops is invaluable here, please keep this type of format. Great video.

[@fiolds350]

Truth. In my ua class. People would keyhole big. And discard the coupon. Like no...... In the field. You cant just discard pipe. You need to learn how to fix it

[@jamesretired5979]

When a new apprentice came on the job and was having problems I would watch and see them making circles ore u shapes or ? as that is how they were instructed in school, I told them to stop all that and just watch the puddle not the arc and do what the metal wants. It's like painting with a brush. put the metal with deliberate purpose, you control it not the other way around. This seemed to help newbies go from barely hanging on to getting control on there way to becoming great welders. Retired 597 Chicago

It’s pretty cool to see an experienced welder need some tips, tricks and practice on something he’s not doing everyday. Makes me feel better about things I need to work on to improve my welds. Definitely a supportive community. It’s good to see people trying to elevate other people instead of tear you down for needing help

I just finished 1 1/2 months of 8 inch standard wall for irrigation. I wondered what other people do when they blow a big ass hole. I would stop and clean a little then go back and lower the amps a few. I like this technique and will try it more in the future. I would get it all cleaned up then burn a HOT pass cause it covers a multitude of sins. Then clean it up real good then go 7018 and roll it out.

[@petersipp5247]

I have welded 6010 roots in hospital boiler rooms, in paper mills too. Then 7018 fill & caps. Would like to see the inside of the root with the radical wipping that was done. I find keeping the "whipping" to a minimum makes a guided root bend test more likely to pass than whipping as much as was done in the vid. Let the whole piece cool way down before doing any more on the root. What I do is bump the two walls (to make sure they melt. I make a small circular motion). Of course pointing the rod in the right direction depending on what the keyhole is doing.

[@suseng5844]

Hey, guys. Thanks for the nice welding.😃👍👏

[@josephkingston9252]

I have a copy of (welders offshore guide), that's sold on EBAY, and in one part of it, it tells how a number of welders learn and get certified without ever having to go to an expensive welding school. So many young men want to be welders but some are already married and cannot afford to take a year out of their life and go back to vocational training school. Ingalls in pascagoula, ms. Has 3 year pipe welding apprentice programs where they pay $17.50 per hr. Just to train you, drawback is passing a drug test and no criminal background which most welders have issues with both. That's why I like the welders offshore guide because it overcomes all those issues with the knowledge it provides on learning and getting certified, without having to go through long awaited union programs, some welders follow its advice and get certified in a few weeks. I wish it had been published back in the 70's when I started welding.

[@Uromastyxfanatics]

I am very new to welding, I am wondering how he is not getting shocked at 9:40. For some reason I thought that touching the electrode and the workpiece at the same time would shock you, is it because he is wearing gloves or because you are allowed to touch both and be fine?

[@scotty362100]

70Amps seems very cold for 1/8" 5P rod in a root on sch 80 pipe. That is where we run 3/32 rod, I have never run 5P less than 80amps, usually between 85-90 especially on that sch80 pipe you are using. 37 year UA pipefitter.

This is hard to perfect, I wind up blowing a hole through it often. Keyhole management utilizing gravity favouring the upper pipe.

[@MrDillaKilla]

If you're running 70-80 amps and blowing up the keyhole, try tightening your gap slightly or putting a heavier land. I like a 3/32 land, fat 1/16 gap and 75-80 amps.

[@viorelscrob6391]

What type of electrodes do you use?

[@jcnpresser]

Why do you use a 6010 for the root pass? Cause it’s a fast freeze rod?

[@alexhedrick1859]

Part of it is mechanical properties, but yes, the fast freeze helps tremendously as far as an open root. Keeps the puddle cooled off so you don't immediately drip out or create an excessive keyhole.

[@ASAPJermz]

6010 has the deepest penetration & deposition of any rod for welding pipe. It's perfect for keyhole management, fast freeze..

[@mustafababdullah2485]

Best advice for young welders is welding 6010 vertical and learning to jam that rod and keep the frogs eye. That frog eye will show you where the froze metal is and how far to whip whipping to far makes slag inclusion, not coming back to the last dime laid causes blow out because of the heat build up.

today i welded some L channel onto the bumper of a 8000lb truck... snow plow. 1/8 7018 145 amps base to burn the rust off, 80-125 amp fill depending of position, and a 160amp hot pass to smooth it out and get some of the flux to mix in so it doesn't rust as fast. still have some filling to do but i cant get a stick to those spots.

[@DontPressA]

Flux in the weld weakens it. Usually a multi pass weld is so thick the rust will eat up all the parent metal before a good weld would rust away.

@@ardennielsen3761 with practice, it’s incredible how thin of material you can weld with bigger rod. I got some 1/16 6013 for stuff like that but as long as you can keep the material from melting away you can use whatever you got on hand.
