TBF, I've never run .072 wire before, but I've never seen anyone drag fluxcore uphill. Also, I saw one of your vertical up fluxcore welds, and it was wayyyy better than this. Jerry's 1st 2 passes have occlusions all down the left side. His weave is extremely inconsistent. And his cover, that he was happy with, had undercut all down the right side.

I just bought a welder as a hobby. Don't use it much but love using it to make things or fix stuff. Videos like this just show how on a professional level there is so much more to welding. How it isn't just bonding metal together. The types of metal, metal thickness, wire size, rod size, amps,volts,gasses, polarity,mixture of gasses,proper beads, undercutting, arc distance, travel speed,up,down,horizontal,porosity etc. So much science, experience and technology to bring it all together. The average Joe though,not familiar with it thinks "it cant be hard,you are just melting metal together with heat" Not hardly

DXT61 I wish people on some of the, let’s say, less professional channels, would understand that. All too often I see a guy who can hardly weld, “review” something really cheap, make bad welds, and tell people that after playing around in their garage for three months, they’re ready for paying work. Quite frankly, it worries me.

I’ve switched to 072 wire from 5/64. Loose a little max disposition rate, gain of wider operational range. Our productivity on bridge erecting was up, primarily because the smaller wire could easily be turned down to handle poor fit up then increase wire speed to finish joint without switching process. The t-8 wire in 072 has mostly replaced stick welding on earth moving equipment repairs when done in field.

Yep, innershield, Lincoln would wind 250lb spools for us for a custom built machine we had where I worked, the machine was entirely engineered and developed where I worked at, for a while it was so top secret that nobody was allowed anywhere around it with a camera, but of course that was pre cellphone days, the only people from outside the company that was allowed anywhere around it were the people from Lincoln Electric, there was even big signs in the area that said "Camera's are strictly forbidden in this area" Another place I worked at in Cleveland specialized in heavy plate weldment's, we had 2 machines there that took those massive spools of 71M wire and had guns with the "Jog" option on them, and we had the magnetic track Bug-O machines we could set up the guns in although we didn't always use the Bug-O's because despite the plate thickness sometimes the passes would only be 2 to 3 feet so it just wasn't worth setting them up, at that place 3" to 4" thick plate was small, we worked with plate up to 16" thick building press frames there. The place I worked at with the custom built welding machine had a close working relationship with Lincoln Electric, they used that place to field test new wires outside of Lincoln that they'd develop, the first time 232 innershield was ever run in the field was there although it was before my time, but the old timers there told me about how the people from Lincoln would come down and look at things and talk to the operators and then go back to their headquarters and adjust the amount of different metals in the wire until everyone was happy with everything and that's what turned out to be 232 Innershield, the place was tucked away in the countryside and I guess that's why Lincoln liked to use the place for field testing was for it's privacy.

From what I observed, consistent fusion along his toes was a problem and that bulge he said he’d get was because he ran the wire too fast and at the top end of the puddle, You want your wire in the middle to bottom of the puddle so the shelf builds appropriately and washes outward.This is how I was taught and how I passed the D1.1 tests if anyone cares to know, just putting it out there. 1)Root Pass: Preheat 6 inch long 1 inch thick plate to 350 degrees. 140 wfs and 20 volts, try to get your root passes small but fused in order to run a manageable hot pass. 2)Hot pass: 155 wfs 21.5 volts. You want your volts up a bit to make your bead wider and wash into your walls and fuse. I was taught not to hold the sides with this process, just one consistent slow back and forth motion and leave the wall when I see the puddle wash into the toe, never get any of the toe skips as seen here. 3) Fill passes: Stringers at 140 wfs 20 volts 4) Cap: let plate cool to about 350- 400 degrees. Stringers at 135 19.5 volts, I run 3 smaller beads to cap. Increase your stick out if you feel it’s too hot and decrease your drag angle to build your shelf faster if needed. * Biggest Tips for this wire: keep a drag angle, keep your wire in the middle to bottom half of the puddle( the slag buildup limits your speed), do not rush this process the slag shelf can hold an insane amount of metal if ran right, 1/2- 1 1/4 inch stick out. Push in to get hotter, out to get colder and build the shelf faster, more drag for more reinforcement and deposit and less drag for less deposit and faster buildup. Good luck, if anyone needs specific help find me at @structuralsandoval, I’ll be glad to help 👌. Good video, not much .072 out there.

The t-6 wire (nr305) isn't normally used for moment connections because it is only rated for flat and horizontal. The overheads still need to be dont with t-8 (nr 232). Rarely they may have one guy fly through with 305 and hit all the flats, then a guy comes in after him and hits the back gouge and overheads. But not often. T-6 or 305 wire is maily used on column splices with flange thicknesses over 1 inch

Gonna play with it this weekend just for fun. I can’t imagine the bead that .072 can lay down. Wondering what welder can handle that. Anyways, I will occasionally fabricate some kind of implement with 1 inch plate or thicker. But to be honest, my welder is usually configured with .030 solid wire. If I need to glue two thick pieces together real quick I’ll just stick weld it. Can’t even find electrodes big enough to max my Trailblazer out so I’m good. I actually find myself stick welding quite a bit with my Multimatic. It runs 6010 like a dream. Almost can’t tell the difference between it and my engine drive. Very good machine. Both of them.

This isn't a real world test as some of the other commentators are saying. Here is a little taste of the reality of structural steel welding in the winter. A real world test of this wire would be conducted outside, on painted and/or rusty steel in the rain with soaked gloves, getting shocked every time you touch said steel. You'd be looking at 3 puddles- the molten metal one, the slag one and the literal water one burning off as you move along. You'd be running it out of a beat feeder powered by an equally beat generator that hasn't been serviced in 1000hrs, all hooked up by you guessed it- very fucked up, mis matched taped to fuck and frayed out leads. You would be tired as fuck from waking up at early o'clock for the last 3 months every day, running on coffee, nihilism and hatred. Your body would ache and be stiff for the first 2 hours of every day since all that steel you are now welding on, you also helped to fabricate, weld out, load on the trailer then unload at site, and then erect. Again, in the pissing rain. Oh and you'd have a pipeliner or tigerhood on on-top of your hard hat, with a scratched to shit 2x4 glitched out a/d lens and it also would be soaked to shit so good luck seeing what you're doing. But you'd still have to produce better welds than this and by god you'd make it happen.

The hood on top of hard hat with the rain going through the crack and hitting the lens on the inside while you’re welding and not stopping lol ohhh the good days

That’s the way she goes, your comment was funny to me because I experience the rain a lot. And in the winter having to give your lid a pre heat or it fogs up.

You really should be doing videos on 1in plate seeing as that's what youre going to be tested on in the real world. Why waste the time and effort and for anything less? If you pass 1in then you are qualified for unlimited thickness whereas anything smaller you will need a cert for 1in to even weld on it. Most if not all structural applications for Dual Shield are going to be on thicker material. I learn a ton from your videos but would love to see these on 1in plate. It's a whole new ballgame with the settings then lol
