1 Inch Overhead Stick Test with Side Bend

[@ryanmalin]

Stick welding gets looked down upon sometimes by laymen in 2020 but its the ideal weld for almost everything if you're a one man show. Not having to stock sheilding gas is my favorite thing. I am a pipe fitter but sometimes I have to stick weld a roof top stand or weld a unit down.

[@warrenjones744]

Well said Ryan, Unless I am doing a large project for example rebuilding an excavator bucket or fabricating a large structure that warrants dragging out the wire feeder, I stick weld. Set up is simple, quick, down and dirty. Get the job done, wind up the leads. On to the next job!

[@Beef1188]

I am a stick welder, working abroad in germany, I make double than those fine gas loving gentlemen, staying at home and yapping about how stick is inferior.

I've always loved to take these tests. The easiest test to pass 😅.

[@captaintoyota3171]

Haha yeah if u run 50lbs a week. For us who only sometimes weld 3g & 4g tests are much more strick than we are usdd too. But Carpenters rarely weld critical stuff. Sheet pile , studs, etc so yeah took me awhile to get into my 3g/4g after tens years between tests

[@DanielSanchez-vk3qs]

Great video Jason, you have a link for your welding cap?

[@joncraw29]

Jason, I'm a long-time watcher, first-time poster... I love the videos, have learned so much from all of them...thank you so much for taking the time and effort to post them! I have what is probably a very silly question....how do you dispose of the backer strips...just grind them off? If so, what's your go-to grinding wheel & grit for this? Thanks again for all you do! Jon

[@rodolfogarza8947]

I assumed since its just a test you don't need to remove them. Since when the do actual pipe welding there is no backer because its ends where it begans. but honestly I don't know.

[@memecentral2460]

Woah nice video

[@jasonbecker3362]

Thank you for the support.

[@justinlopez2063]

Any way you can discuss what d1.1 book study methods can be the best way to prepare and what mistakes can be avoided. Thank you in advance, also love these videos really does help to see real welding.

[@jonathanaldana4941]

What Temp do y’all let your plate cool down to in between passes?

[@elkvis]

On D1.5, are you allowed to use something like a sharpened tungsten electrode or a carbide scribe, to pick out slag in tight corners, where the brush and/or chipping hammer can't get to it?

[@jasonbecker3362]

Yes, I prefer a solid set of pics. You cannot use anything that will remove or shape the weld profile.

[@quickshot4050]

Yea, my teacher showed us what he does and this is to simply use an old electrode and hammer one end flat and grind the other end into a pic, works amazing

[@manyogurt4645]

We use a mini hacksaw, and cut the rounded end off into a point with tin snips. Perfection for digging out slag.

[@zenteno5p]

Am just curiuos? Why do you hang your ground in the plate intead to ground it in the table Nice video but that’ my question? Greetings from phoenix az✌️

[@bambitotrails9090]

Did u increase amperage on the hot pass? Not sure what u meant by "hot pass".

[@jasonbecker3362]

Some people do, I choose not to.

[@nde-mt2yc]

You run Hot Pass after the Root Pass...

[@sagemodejg2111]

"Hot pass" is the name of the pass after the "root pass" doesn't mean to increase amperage

[@ryanmalin]

Do the yellow glasses help you see through your helmet?

[@jasonbecker3362]

No, they do help with lighting in the shop, I look over the top of them while under my hood. I use the Lincoln 4C lens and like the blue tint it provides.

How long did the 35 passes actually take in real time? About how much would those 7 inches break down to in an hourly wage? Other than that, love the videos ya'll present, and much appreciated for a hobbyist, well done!

[@godemperorhoover2131]

You can blast that out in about 45 minutes really, but your interpass temp will sky rocket. On a job, that thick of metal can absorb that heat quite well, so your temp won't usually get above criteria. On one job myself and another welder smoked 5.1 miles of linear welding, uphill, using 1/8" rod, burning at 135 amps. 12 hour shifts for 3 months... they brought pallets of rod because once we got in the groove, him and I were burning 100 pounds of rod a night. Good times.

[@jordanengland4803]

@@godemperorhoover2131 this guy has never done this test you cannot do this test in 35 minutes especially without a wire wheel

[@godemperorhoover2131]

@@jordanengland4803 lol... I am a certified Ironworker welder. I just blasted one of these tests out for my students. And I said 45 minutes, not 35. I have no need to brag about things that are impossible for you. I am just saying that you can indeed do it in 45 minutes, because I have. (Edit) I just saw your wire wheel comment.... lol for real? If you are a good enough welder you barely need a chipping hammer, as I have NEVER been allowed to use a wire wheel,, only hand tools. Your slag should scorpion tail and barely hang on. Oh and for further information, I carry 3G & 4G unlimited thickness certs in AWS D1.1.

Thanks for the video red 1 question I was taught when doing these 1 inch plates to do your first pass then split the bead but you did a hot pass I can see why youd do a hot pass but would it matter if you didnt?

[@jasonbecker3362]

Nope, it’s personal preference. I’ve found it’s better to run a hot pass slightly wider than trying to squeeze 2 passes in there. If the root was a bit wider, I’d probably run 2 beads in there.

[@mattfogarty8144]

Why reverse polarity please explain isn’t that used for TIG ?

[@jasonbecker3362]

Reverse polarity is DC+, TIG uses Straight Polarity DC-. In a welding machine the amperage flows from negative to positive.

Inter pass doesn't mean fill passes. Inter, the prefix means between. So when you say inter pass, you are saying in between weld passes. Just an FYI

Ah yes, I see you are schooled in the ways of of the English diction as well my good sir, and thus I anticipate that you also comprehend that inter pass would also correlate to the welds occurring “between” the root and the weld reinforcement.
