Welding open root practice plates is a good way to prepare for a 5g pipe test.
As long as thickness, bevel angle, root opening, and land are the same, the same settings and techniques that work on plate will work on pipe.
With pipe, you will still need to practice body positioning and transitions to different rod angles but other than that, the techniques used on practice plates will work on pipe.
hope this helps...

The best welding channel on the internet. Thank you for everything Jody. Goggins inspired me to go back to college, got my degree in welding with a 4.0 GPA, and this channel has helped me tremendously along the way.

[@philthyphil3324]

One of the most difficult things I've ever done was my 6g pipe welding test. I was brand new to welding, I spent hours and hours staying after work to practice. It felt so good when I passed. I put my heart and soul into the pipe fitter apprenticeship. Then one year in, the company shut down the apprenticeship.

[@smiththers2]

as someone whos been watching your videos for at least 6 years, and have learned a lot from them, im super happy to say that im starting a job in robotic mig welding next week! they will certify me in sheet metal by hand though as i go, so excited!

[@warrenjones744]

Pipe welding is hard! especially when your 57 year old eyes don't focus as well as they used to and your not anywhere near as flexible as you were when you were 25 : ) I sure enjoy your videos Jody, especially the Tig welding. I suck at Tig welding, but thanks to your tutelage over the years I am much better at it. Cheers

Agree 100%. It looks easy until you do it yourself, takes a lot of work to be as consistent as these 2

[@jac37]

Exactly. Positioning is everything in pipe. You don’t got that right rod angle you’re gon blow tf thru.

[@edfrancis7584]

Just started college with pipe welding and this has really given me helpful information with how I should be running 6010 electrodes. Was having issues with the root and think the plate gap and how I was running the rod was the issue but watching this has given me a better understanding

[@MikeP350]

6010 roots take some practice before you really get the feel for it. Shove that rod in the gap and drag. Alot of people teach the whip and pause on roots. Alot of times it's not necessary IMO and it's easy to lose control of your heat and blow up the keyhole. My pipe instructor had 30 years pipe welding experience and taught me to do roots the same way Andrew is here. Was a game changer for me. Warm up the rod for a sec, shove it in that gap and drag the root in. Uphill or down.

[@edfrancis7584]

I was told and taught to pause and whip on the root and found exactley as your describing. Keyhole getting too big and loosing control. Going to just jam it in there and I'll let you know after my next evening course 😂

[@MikeP350]

@@edfrancis7584 It works great for me. I didnt know you could drag a 6010 like that until my instructor showed me. This is the first 6010 youtube vid I've seen showing this technique as well. The key is keeping pressure on the rod and the proper travel speed. Having the arc jammed in there chokes the voltage and keeps the heat down. I don't understand why more people don't teach this method. Good luck to ya, let me know how it works out for you.

[@rainsrapidly]

Lmao I just shove it in ... crackle crackle push push push... moveeee 😅😅😅

[@rainsrapidly]

Another tip... a closer closed gap will help u with keyhole control... some guys i work with barely like any gap

[@RC-Heli835]

The greatest blessing in all my life was to buy my first box of 6010 rods for welding bore casing. I started out with 7014's because that's what my dad liked and they do make a nice pretty flat weld but very difficult if not impossible on any kind of vertical welding or overhead situation.

Thanks for adding the video, I’m currently in a class for this and it is very well explained.

[@patdexter9188]

That 6010 might work on frames to for a root. This is crack repairs on heavy equipment, loaders, shovels. Then fill with 7018. Most of the time I fit a backer plate/ 1/8" strap then do the root with 3/32 7018 all uphill welds. This has worked well for me. The 6010 would save time for sure. I don't like using wire to much because its easy to over heat the work piece if your not watching the temp. Before temp guns I always did the spit test.

[@Elkmonger]

I work a lot in refined petroleum product pipeline in the northeast. I haven't seen HYP on a weld procedure in 15 years. Also, most of the welding procedures detail same diameter rod for root AND hot pass. I mainly work on 16" and under. The only time I see 3/16 is maybe in a fill pass or cap. Guys also try and manage your fill so you end up flush or maybe just a hair low on the last pass before the cap. Keep this fill the same all around. No short striping. The inspectors are gonna be watching for that. Take care.

[@Skhillz_FN]

Hey Jody what would you suggest for welding 4 in od pipe it's close to 1/4 in thick wall. I have 6011 3/32 and 1/8 - and 7018 1/8 rods . I can order 6010 rods if it would work better . Would this be a one pass weld ? what would recommend.

Hello everyone.I need to weld chassis of mine wheel loader ,it's cracked at one side and i was wondering what would be best way to do it ,which types of electrodes should i use ?.I don't really know what type of steel is on loader chassis,i've seen on internet many types of electrodes used for this type of fix. 6010 as root pass then fill with 7018 ,or even some stainless steel electrodes such as e 307-17 or e312-17.

[@matthewantolino5658]

In the video you talk about 7010 hyp rod, which is designed for vertical downhill(according to the Lincoln information), but the video description says 6010. Can you clarify which is correct for the video? Based on what I have seen of the video, it welds like 6010... but I have never seen 7010 run... either way I never realized that 7010 electrodes existed until I saw this video. Just wondering if I discovered a rod that would work for Field repairs outside of pipe.. Might be a new tool for the mental toolbox... or on the work truck Thinking about plans that call for 70XX Electrode... not needing a rod oven by using cellulose coated electrodes instead, could be beneficial in some scenarios.

Thanks for another great video, Jody! For everyday, non-coded work, is there a difference between 6010 and 6011 rods other than 6010's must be run on DC?

Not much IMO

[@chancesanborn7932]

The slag is a little heavier. Other than that they run pretty similar.

[@logangray3464]

@jesse Wright: I have seen 6010 ran on AC current and it ran the same as DC current. Some DC welders won't even run a 6010 electrode.

I always thought welding down hill would cause slag inclusion, what’s the trick here?

[@rich3633]

They're cellulose rods mate, so the slag freezes very quickly, they are designed for this sort of application. You wouldn't necessarily be able to do this with basic or rutile rods, although some are designed to be used for downhill. The manufacturer's literature will advise on what rod is suitable for the application you require 👍

[@WildWestGarage]

@@rich3633 Thanks, I figured it had something to do with the chemistry of the rod, I know down hand with 7018 is a no no.

@@WildWestGarage no probs dude, they do actually make a hydrogen controlled rod for downhill welding, I've never used it mind.
