I would like to see bob do a long episode on the welding procedures and consumables used for welding dissimilar metals, medium to high carbon steel, and High Strength Low Alloy steels. It's a topic that Jody has covered in a scattering of videos but I would like to see how bob would present the information to us. Love the channel guys!!

[@UrbanArmada]

Doing this exact test on Monday for a really good job opportunity, haven't flux core welded in a few years so I'm a bit rusty after running mig and Tig for two years.

[@questknight4066]

any updates?

[@Iwontreadyourreply]

If you’ve been running mig daily you’ll be fine

[@deant1986]

I'm a shipbuilder and FCAW is pretty much all we use. There's quite a few things to improve on this video, most of all - cold starting in the root like that is never a good idea. For weld tests that impose a zero tool mark policy and require a 'stop - start' the trick is to barely stop, 'of the trigger, on the trigger', eliminating the potential for inclusion or lack of fusion. On the job it's common practice to start the run on top of your bead and lead the pool down in to the root, a quick grind post weld to remove your stop start 'bump'. The technique varies with wires. 14hd fluxofil is fantastic, my favourite, gives a very flat bead with straight stringers. Different projects adhere to different wires but i would recommend you trying a roll of 14hd, you'll like it.

[@ranchroberts5976]

Your comment is a couple years old, but I'm in my 3nd week of welding. We are going 3G practice and I am having a lot of trouble with the 3/8 root pass. I see people heating their plates but thats the second semester class. I've done a few good root passes and mess up on the next passes, but the most challenging is the root. What would you advise a beginner. I am using .35 wire at 135 WFS and running 19.6 V.

[@mikesfarmmikesfarm3977]

i hope you and bob both cohost the channel for a long time to come. Your styles mesh well. I am a older eng, but wish you taught in brevard county not kissimme or where you teach

[@Aint1S]

Live like you weld, not too stuck up and not too proud! 👍🏼

[@ftownmarine]

You guys should do a video on 3g/4g with .072 innershield. .045 is a good shop wire but most welders in the field are gonna be running an inner shield wire which isn’t as forgiving as .045.

[@EFray95]

ftownmarine from what I’ve done with innershield NR233 .072 I would keep my settings around 100-110ipm and about 19Volts for 3G and for 4G I would go about 130-150ipm and 20-21Volts

[@dbbrydge]

We run .035 in our machines burns hot as hell 😂

[@_high_plains_drifter_5079]

One thing I learned first hand is with bigger wire, you have to turn the wire down and run slower, I did my D1.1 cert test with .045 wire and at my job we use Lincoln 1/16" wire

[@dennisbergen7657]

Yes, ceramic tape is what we use in shipyards to fill huge gaps. Some gaps can be 1 in. wide!

[@oscarsanchezmendoza2274]

was that a total of 8 passes? I could not keep track. you are a great teacher. great job!

[@RollingEasy]

When is a weave not a stringer and vice versa? I think I would have put a very quick stringer in just before the final run and so not felt the need to weave on that final run... There's a relaxed feeling when you know the last run does not need to 'work' to be finishing the cap. It covers the previous run (and its narrower size).... and also goes nicely onto the right hand side plate without there being any need to weave to do so... In short. One quick 'no weave at all' stringer just before the last? Good idea or not? eg At 8:27 it sure looks pretty wide to be wanting to put on just one more.

[@samyfajard2906]

bob we want to see a tutorial on oxyacetylene welding or brazing for repairing hydrocarbon equipment or fishing oil tools.

[@JbSaraga-jy9he]

Can i ask if you can tell us how what what ampheres and voltages set up did you used for this content! im a beginner😅

[@morgansword]

Curious, do you ever increase the heat since the weld is now thicker? A bit of overkill on this demonstration but that would hold the wall on fort knox. Rows of quarters just stacked like a bankers till. I do learn a lot like not getting in a hurry to take "slag" off... It's the little things like that that keeps them hiring you back... If it were only the neighbors kitchen cabinet hinge.. I would bring my stick welder and run 7018 on first pass without brushing area off. Then put the 100018 over it to hard face it so the cabinet board has to swing instead of the hing/LOL, I jokes

[@photorocket4550]

Was there a problem with your voice audio? I had crank up the volume to hear what was being said. Thanks for another great video.

[@tuckersimes4108]

I could hear fine on my computer but I do know some I have to turn up

[@Welddotcom]

Not to my knowledge. I just watched it again and had no issues. Make sure you set the audio on KZbin and your device.

[@photorocket4550]

Hi. I am from Indonesia. Your welding technique is very good, I would like to learn more with you. Please make me a video on how to weld the SMAW + FCAW combination, and please include the translation in Indonesian. Thank you

[@DeezNutz-uw7jq]

[@eugeyatsu1100]

Hey there, hope you doing well! Great videos, let me ask you a question about the temperature! How long you let it to cool down between root and fill or fill and cap passes! I welded few tickets... I think to fast, and the distortion was amazing! It turned into a circle almost :(

[@zoltanmakra1818]

Is there a reason why I can't find anyone doing this process open root without backing plate?

[@carolshawol6699]

Select arc wires kinda run rough that's my belief there sound but just alot rougher than say esab or Lincoln wires

[@samyfajard2906]

@@sefaucon3839 The answer was direct, but not straight, it was "reversed" :))

What do you mean ??? I thought the answer was clear without any thing more to discuss about the polarity ??? Please explain yourself here , ( you are welcome , nothing bad again you )

[@bogdan_n]

@@sefaucon3839 it was supposed to be a pun. Straight polarity (positive on workpiece and negative on electrode) is used in GTAW. Steel SMAW or GMAW uses mainly reversed polarity (negative on workpiece and positive on electrode/filler), or AC.

Remove the back plate, and lets see if you really can weld. If you are a welder, you should have no problem welding this, without backing. In almost every american video, they use this method, but in real life you can't use this everywhere. And I would like to see the back side, so that I can see the penetration.

Maybe you should skip some of the videos if that's your type of input.

This gentleman came from a school teaching welding to a KZbin channel teaching welding. With Mr. Bob who has probably forgot more procedure's than you have ever learned. So I'm going to continue to play at welding. While you play at being a professional. Trolling a channel for learning. Since you came here to teach?
