Stick welding tips for stainless steel. I managed to get some stainless steel pipe so I can do some walking the cup type tig welding, some mig welding, and some stainless stick welding on some flanges. But first, i need some practice so I set up a fillet weld on a 45 degree angle and stacked several beads for practice.

I am an Egyptian welder. I am very impressed with what you offer on your channel and I wish you progress always♥♥♥

[@NOBOX7]

very good videos , you have a skill at explanation that others lack, you tell us what your going to show us first , such an important rule violated by so many, you also anticipate the errors of others and expound on the topic , you may not realize your doing it but some people have to be taught your skill of explanation , your welding skills are of the charts as well

[@nickmaclean5816]

That's totally true bud!! This guy really knows how to explain things, and thats a great skill. The words just stick to your head. Thumbs up!

[@victoryfirst2878]

@@nickmaclean5816 Just like in the movie STRIPS. THAT'S A FACT JACK !!!!

Very informative video on SS stick welding. I have found that the Lincoln E7018AC [special rods to run on small AC welders] operate very much like the Lincoln family of stainless steel electrodes...they seem to have the same coating formulation, unlike the standard E7018's which operate very differently, in my opinion. It has long been known that the EXXX-16 SS rods run super on AC only welders; as far as arc starting and restarting, though DC+ is best.

[@thatlittleworkshop]

Just thought I would let you know I receive my tig fingers in the mail today (I ordered 2) got to me in northern Alberta, Canada in 2 weeks, quite impressive coming from the US. Thanks again and I'm looking forward to giving them a whirl. Have a great day and I enjoy all your videos. Ian Little

[@kdknitro]

i do love how rain or shine your videos play either way

[@tkalil2]

Big fan Jodie! Keep up the great vids! I have tube papers, carbon stick papers,carbon mig,stainless mig. Just watched this video. 2 days later the hall sent me out for a make or break on stainless stick. I've haven't ran much of stainless stick. I used UR J technique. I passed X-ray test! Thanks bro!

[@usefullsw]

your comments about SS stick rod start amps and heat up remind me that when I have a brand new student that is totally spooked trying to strike an arc, flinging "fire" everywhere, I give them a couple of SS rods until they "settle down" a bit. SS is hard to stick and easy to restrike compared to 6010 or 6011 for the brand new first time welder. Sometimes a couple of SS rods is all it takes to give them a little confidence and calm the nerves. This flies straight in the face of management, who seem to think that trainees ought to be only given "junk" to practice with.

[@1693caterpillar]

I'm a home shop welder and I always enjoy your videos and learned alot....thx ..Kevin..

[@NOBOX7]

hey friend i would like to point out that when welding ss you also may need to keep your electrode close to your work as ss is a 2.5 on the copper standerd chart copper is 100 so the conductive power of stainless steel is a lousy 2.5 % this is also why it gets so hot copper has a thermal conductivity of 4 and ss is only [.16 ] so the heat really lingers

[@fucksusan420]

We are welders here, is this suppost to mean?

[@POKEBATTIS]

As a new shipbuilder who has never used stick, this was extremely helpful

[@ozhillbillywelder]

thats really cool mate. I work in ship yard and do a fair bit of SS work. Its all done with stick, mainly replacement hull section stringer and rib repairs or external hull bash/drag plates and fender pipe. I normally spot (continuous stop start tacks, almost looks like a stack of dimes) all my verticals so we get one pass 6/8mm fillets with no undercut. Ive tried continuous runs but always get undercut and/or weld pool melting into drops. Ill try the J tomorrow . thanks

[@fmiller000]

Thanks Jody for another nice video. Stick welding stainless is relatively simple on flat but become a lot harder out of position! If I can suggest you something, you can talk about the different between -15, -16, -17 rod. I've tried a couple of brand of stainless rod and it's not like 7018 (who almost burn the same between brand). Stainless rod are very different from one to another. Have a great day. Francis

[@jojomama4787]

Thought there would be more stainless stick videos on the way but it's been years and I haven't seen any more.Please,more stainless stick videos!!!

[@victoryfirst2878]

Thanks for a refresher on stick welding. I to have not been welding stainless for some time. But they say that once learned never forgotten. Thanks and peace too. VF

[@MrDontknowausername]

I got my vertical welding license. Thanks to your vids. They really helped!!!!!!

[@brunoekscheffler6694]

Joe, wanted to say Thank you for the tips on the stainless stick welding. I found them very helpful. Thank you, Bruno

[@slagle89]

Just welded stainless lugs for 9ft stainless beams in a hospital for support on a mri machine above. I run my 309 vertical set at 78 and flat and overhead at 85. Then my 308 vertical i set at 72 and perfect!!!!. I wish i could upload a pic!

[@mattmellinger7234]

Had the chance to snag some stainless rods at school. They're different but they are pretty nice running rods. They are definitely old so I stuck then in a rod oven to see what that would do and they ran great. I'm actually really glad you made a video regarding the rods. Thanks

[@geedubb2005]

Ah Ha-you criminal! better watch out for them drones! LOL

[@mattmellinger7234]

I used them at school haha! But in all honesty our instructor would turn a blind eye if we needed to take something home. He has let me take 6010s and 7018s so I could fix stuff. He's a pretty good guy... also a jagoff

[@geedubb2005]

I understand. I just needed to raz you a little

[@mattmellinger7234]

No big deal man. I knew haha. But let me tell you something about them damn drones. If I see one sneaking around my house I'm going AA status on it. Free scrap metal to weld on

[@geedubb2005]

yep, I agree 100 percent

[@burntbizkit621]

Great video as always. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.

[@zachdaniels8112]

At about the 2:30 mark, it shows the pass after the slag has come off, but there is still slag stuck on the right (top) toe of the bead. I had a very similar problem when I was running some 1/8" 308L-16 electrodes in the horizontal position doing a series of U's; the slag on the top toe was an absolute bear to get off when the vast majority of slag peeled on its own. It took quite some time pecking at it with a file trying to get it off and I still don't think I was able to get it all. Any idea as to the cause or this? Is it caused by the rod manipulation or is it just the nature of the beast when running stainless electrodes? Great videos, by the way!!

[@jojomama4787]

This is the only stainless stick video I've seen from you...more out of position stainless stick videos,PLEASE!

[@12345NoNamesLeft]

I appreciate the stick coverage

[@davemurphy4056]

I really enjoy your videos!! I have been welding for 14yrs and still learn things. Im pretty spoiled. I have a Deltaweld 452 , a dynasty 350 and a miller 350p with a python push pull gun. Id love to see a video on the uses for the different wave settings on the dynasty. Just got a short crash course from salesman. Keep up the great videos!!

[@anthony10370]

Exactly what I needed. Doing a repair on an environmental test chamber with 1/8 inch 308L

[@Protato.Gaming]

Definitely helpful tips. I'm an off and on welder as a diesel mechanic and have a stainless welding project ahead. Never welded stainless before so a bit nervous.

[@mike090280mc]

I always have trouble with stainless stick. I see you are pretty low on the amps. I'll try that. Be careful with the "hex chrome" that the stainless gives off. Thanks for the videos.

And never stop moving.

[@brandonsummers4640]

Hi Jody, I am trying to decide on a nice tig welder to buy. I've narrowed it down to either the everlast 200dx or the 210ext, but looking online i cannot see clearly what either machines get shipped with as far as a remote pedal or not. Also the 200dx says not intended for e6010 use??? Could you mabey explain if you know much about it. Also it said must have 65000 watt clean power supply?? Will i be able to run either machines out of my garage at home with standard 240 or 120? Also is the 210ext worth the extra $? Thanks for your time you put into your videos i've learned so much you are an inspiration to all.

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

200dx gets my vote and is supposed to be fairly bulletproof,...i just visited the website and it appears the 200dx is the one that is dual voltage and comes with pedal

[@jojomama4787]

Kinda funny,says this is four years old and you said more stainless stick video in three or four weeks,haven't seen one since so PLEASE more out of position stainless stick videos,thank you!

[@dixiefix6055]

Like the change up I was wondering what's the name of your shop and what kind of work do you do daily. ...just a little background. Anyway love your channel

[@robertseeback6565]

Thanks for giving me something else that will help me weld your tig videos helped me get my c.w.b. ticket for tig you explained things that others did not

[@mhansl]

Jody, great demo. Is there a difference welding 316 as opposed to 308?

[@ClemsonCute__girl]

I personally love the way stainless rods weld. I wish normal carbon steel rods welded the same, or at least I haven't found one that does. Regardless, it makes a rookie like me, produce some of the nicest looking welds you can get. I wish they weren't so expensive or I would weld with them as much as possible, when allowed that is.

[@westwater73]

Use 6013's then..

Electrode negative or positive? I know you sometimes do things the other way around that side of the pond. Keep up the good work Jody. I learn something new every week. Andy

[@ClemsonCute__girl]

I ran my 308L16 or something along those lines on AC, via a Buzz box, and worked great.

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

I was set to DCEP electrode positive aka reverse polarity. These rods are rated for DCEP or AC

[@workwillfreeyou]

Stainless stick is the most difficult. Thank you very much.

[@BELIKEJUATER]

Hey jody did you ever get to do some stick welding on camera on that stainless pipe you mentioned? If so could you please drop the video. I got a test on 6" stainless pipe coming up. I never stick stainless before but the money too good to not at least try.

[@TheGoatShowMan]

I'd say they are more of a capital E motion. Excellent video, thanks.

[@MultiMrNoone]

My buddy works in a weld shop and says they are required to wear masks when welding stainless. I’m a hobbyist, do I need to wear any kind of respirator when welding stainless?

[@chrisplayz253]

U should weld a respirator when u r welding or grinding any metal!

[@Bluuplanet]

It's interesting that the heat transfers up the rod so much on stainless. I know that on reinforced concrete floor slabs of high-rise buildings up north where the floor includes open air balconies, there is a problem with the balconies acting as cooling fins with the floors inside the building being very cold because heat transfers out to the balconies through the re-bar in the slab. They counteract this with the re-bar being thermally broken with a foot-long fused-in section of stainless steel rebar at the building wall between internal steel re-bar and outdoor steel re-bar. They do this because Stainless *doesnt* transfer heat as much as regular rebar. ...So,, I'm scratchin' my head here.

[@ZacharyMelo]

It's that it builds up, as the heat rises into the rod. With SS being such a poor conductor, it doesn't move the heat out an into the stick holder or workpiece. As the stick gets smaller, the heat has accumulated into a smaller area. Even ceramic will become hot, given enough thermal input - despite being an excellent insulator. Everything is a conductor given the right conditions.

[@Mitutumuch]

so 6013 and 7013 I's NOT recommended? is this why I csnt keep my arc?

[@elgecske]

are doing some 250 x 2 mm 316 pipe at the moment. After about 3-4 rods something happens to the pipe or the rods. It will start to choke on me, the rods wont burn as they should. Something just kills the arc. what is your advice?

[@Brainmalfuction]

Ill be looking forward to seeing more Stainless stick videos

Any tips for 309 in the 6g position with stick can't seem to get it to go down flat I've used 2.5mm rods high amps/low amps and 3.2mm rods with high/low amps long arc and a short arc an I'm still having no luck any advice would be much appreciated

[@lots_of_fishing6536]

Would you still run this on a dc stick welder or you need an ac machine ?

[@tadman3d]

How do u tell what is slag and what is metal when looking at the puddle??

[@tdaz928]

Is this connection also stainless and can it be used in food grade industry?

[@boominrick1987]

I was practicing welding horizontal and I was having a problem with the weld favoring one side or the other. no matter how I manipulated it, it would pick one side over the other. I think i might try it again. I was thinking maybe I was traveling too fast, Ill have to try it again, I was also dragging the puddle instead of pushing it.

[@fahimkhondokar708]

You showed here that 93 amps we should use for 1inch metal but my machine only have voltage and arc force to change...so how much voltage i have to use... thank you

[@madvtecyo546]

Will that rod work with any stainless pipe? 304, 316?

[@Geh4h]

I've welded in that position on a butt joint on a 45° angle open root with 6010 & 7018 going uphill. A combination of vertical and horizontal in which I personally call "VERTIZONTAL". I even welded a butt joint open root on a 45° angle and got that plate I had to weld the whole thing uphill with 7018 including the root, yes, THE ROOT. My first couple of plates on the root looked looked dog shit, but with practice I've gotten the hang of it. Oh, then there's the fun part, welding a butt joint on a 45° angle on the ground that's tack welded to the bottom of my work station table. Being the only female in class, I didn't complain, I would rather weld something that's fixed to where you can't move it and have to work around it, than to get comfortable welding something on a table. That's why when I weld, I stand up, I don't sit in a chair if working on a table. My first time welding on the ground was challenging but after while I've gotten the hang of it and used to it to where I don't mind doing it. I try to tell kids in class that out in the field, there's not gonna be any tables and chairs, u gotta put yourself in positions to work around whatever it is you're welding. I've had instructors that got allot of field experience and they've shared their field experiences to the class and make those into helpful advice that can be useful when my comes to go out into the field to weld and I share that advice to new kids starting out learning to weld. Lincoln electric makes good products, I like their Excaliburs, 5Ps,and 5p+ 6010s, their mig wires after good too and I like their machines.

[@andoriaprime9517]

What hood do you shoot your videos through when welding? Super clear.

Please sir tell us about (309) 6g pipe welding Thanks

[@4488Kyle]

Awesome video as usual! Do find that running stainless stick in the 5G position that you only burn half of the rod so it doesn't look like fidos butt? I just find that it doesn't heat up the rod excessively then it doesnt ball up on it self.

As dumb as it may sound are you practicing on mild steel plate or stainless plate? I’m wanting to try it but don’t have any stainless laying around.

[@jamier6742]

mudhaula E309L-16 is used for dissimilar metals. For instance, carbon to stainless. Yes, carbon or stainless material will be fine with this filler metal.

[@deniseweathers9807]

+John Ratko I have the same 70's version AC buzz box. I don't think I have the 90A option, but I'll try the next highest and lowest and try that on 1/8. I have trouble with 1/16 rod as it's trying to control the end of a needle, and I will need to use it on the next job, but i would guess that size will help on the heat buildup and distortion.

[@jims.1917]

What polarity did u use 2 weld ss?

[@jackheath8184]

you don't really ever talk about the dangers of hex chrome and the welding processes. it my understanding that while tig welding it is fairly safe. but with plasma, stick, or mig additional PPE is needed. I found this through the American Welding Society but have found no other supporting research since.

[@doug132639]

Of course you can.. But don't listen to this HUMPER.. He's welding way to hot. You can see that black colour on the stringer,, but you should never weld with big rods. ALWAYS SMALLEST RODS 2.5MM. not so much heat..

[@3178patrick]

just a little trick for you I learned turn the arc control to 8 or 9 it will wash the weld better at the edges with little effort

[@robertostman2075]

considering maintenance cost, I wonder if infrastructure like bridges should all be made with stainless steels

[@spoofer20]

Stainless is a harder material, so engineers have to take that into consideration. Stainless will shatter before softer metals will. Also making a bridge out of stainless steel would cost 20 times of a normal bride, it wouldnt really outweigh the maintenance costs.

what do you think about castolin 680 S ?

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

Castolin (previously Eutectic) 680s are touted as a special rod that welds pretty much any steel to any other steel...they weld great but i think they are very similar to 312 stainless in composition. generic 312 stainless rods are way cheaper and work darn near as well.

[@cariotchristian]

Thank you for your reply. I used a lot these rods (1.6 / 2.5 mm) for the manufacture of tools or re welds on frame bike. The welds are beautiful and very durable. Here in France they are very expensive, but the performance is excellent!weldingtipsandtricks
