I totally agree with you calling the E7018 rod, The backbone of America. It's built bridges, skyscrapers, pressure vessels, ships and everything else you can think of made of carbon steel. The welds and especially the slag can look like pure hell but the strength and durability is what counts. It can also be a finicky rod to start and can be sticky to get going if the amperage is just a little too low. I use 7018 for everything I make other than sheet metal which I mig. Those are some Fantastic looking beads that gentleman did. He's a pro. Thanks for the video, it's great!

One of the main reasons it is so strong is because it burns slow and gives metal a chance to heat up. 90% of the time I used to see people make a ' bad ' ' weak ' weld is where they go too fast of don't pay any attention to heat transfer.

2:38 - Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how Jose is busting out welds like a machine without propping his arm or even tucking his elbow against his side. A lot of folks don't realize how hard that is. Even the tiniest movements are exaggerated at the end of a long welding rod like that. Don't believe me? Pick up a ruler by one end and try to hold the other end exactly 1/8" off a surface while moving it... now imagine doing that while the rod is continuously getting shorter.

Made a career, as a Boilermaker "certified high-pressure" welder. My one critique, on the square tube steel was on the vertical. You never "start/stop" a weld at the corner. I was taught to stop at least an inch before the corner then with a new rod continue up and over, finishing an inch past. Ideally that steel should have been power brushed, to remove the rust. With the rust removed you get a better weld and no "popcorn" sound.

@richardkawucha1232 Жыл бұрын
@@VantageWelding Yes sir, certified. Meaning I do a tube test coupon, in 6G position. Typically a 2" tube. 1/4" tacks (heli-arc) maximum. 12 o'clock is punch marked with your tacks at 12, 3, 6, 9. Your tacks are inspected by 5 contractor tips and 1 ins. co. rep. These 6 will inspect every portion of your weld. If any one of them says "Fail" you're done. Your coupon is then mounted In the 6G position and remains there until the welding is done. You complete the heli-arc gut, which is then inspected. Two up-hand E7018 filler passes, again inspected. Finally three up-hand cover passes and inspection. The coupon is then removed and after you stamp your cert # on it, 4 sample straps are cut (1:30, 3:30, 7:30 and10:30). You then clean them and return them to the inspectors. They each get bent U-shaped, with your weld in the center of the U. One gets a root bend. One gets a face bend. The remaining two get side bent. If nothing shows you are certified to be able to do a high pressure weld. Plate steel requires less. In an open butt 6G overhead. My construction site welds have been x-rayed, ultra sound inspected, dye penetration tested and even magnafluxed. In my career I've never failed a test or had a weld rejected.

A question: if the angle of electrode towards the workpiece changes, doesn't it mean that the penetration changes too?
@VantageWelding3 жыл бұрын
Yes. A good example is when welding old to new. You give yourself more of an angle pointing towards the new piece focusing less heat input into the old.

welding uphill is slower, a 1/8" electrode would provide too much heat. it is appropriate to use a smaller electrode to avoid cooking the metal.

After yrs of welding you learn to weld high heat and push the rod in vertical welds. All the impurities float to the top with the flux. Flat welds the same with rod position like here. I weave a little not much on flats, moving the rod momentum depending on bead width, but slow enough for good penetration.

Welding isn’t going anywhere. As far as jobs you have to start knocking on some doors. The Instagram welding community is actually pretty supportive and helpful. In this rough times it has been hard for everybody bro, but if you want to get in this industry buckle up. Cuz it can get bumpy. Ask the old timers around you bro. My suggestion to you is start school and kill it homie. 👍

I see he is holding it at a 40 degrees angle but I'm glad you mentioned how he moves his wrist to carry the rod with him in a similar way as if he would pour tiny dribbles of oil around the base of the pipe he is doing a great job in demonstrating the art and you are clearly explaining his actions and I think both of you demonstrating and explaining to show people works a lot better than the one person trying their best to show and explain. It is easier he showing and you pointing out tips than one person trying hard to explain at the same time as trying to concentrate doing the work. Good work both of you. My only question to you just for me to learn myself I'm only trying to learn. What Rod did he use first that you said to only run upwards and that he held at 45 degrees please.

I got these rods btw...they're MG500 and MG400 I've used them wver since I got my Miller 300 and I love the way they run so did my buddy Mark. We looked and looked all over for those same rods and can't find them anywhere online. We got them from work cause they nolonger used stick we were primarily mig with occasional tig. So I took them all home with me. They're not 6018 7018 none of that at all they're MG500 and MG400 I do believe I even have some MG200 But whatever they are they weld fantastic! I mean they literally weld for you you just hold the rod and they're strong almost dime stack weld too. Do you have any clue what they are or where to find them? I'm guessing it's some older company that no longer exists but I'm not sure at all.

If all you got is 7018... Use a torch to make sure the rod is dry and around 150°. To go downhand preheat the weld area to around 300° to 350. Make sure the surface is clean. Run down hand in a zig zag weaving motion keep it tight but bouncy. If the slag gets ahead of you whip it away with the rod and continue your patterning. Machine settings may vary so that is something you will also have to figure out on the fly. You will get really good penetration. Next passes should be uphand after you've allowed the work piece to cool down to around 200°. Do a snake belly pattern on the up hand and don't stall out. Keep moving everything will blend together nicely. And at around 200° starting temp the slag will get the hell out of your way 🥳🤟 and always remember don't get greedy. If the rod starts to blister then stop if the weld zone is too hot then stop. Take your time and plan your moves 👌
