Gasless Flux Core FCAW Welding For Beginners

[@roberthoy9922]

Pretty much always have excellent content. NR232!.072 flux core is the primary wire I use as an Ironworker. Primary stick is 1/8” 7018. Been building America since 01-22-1998.

Been using Blue Demon FC wire for a few years now with good, consistent results. Pro Tip: if you suffer from athlete's foot, get into the habit of 'flossing' your socks back and forth two or three times between your toes after you get out of the shower or otherwise have wet feet. Putting socks on with water between the toes is the primary cause of AF.

thanks bro 🙏🙏🙏

Thought it was common sense to dry every part of your body Cant believe theres people who just throw clothes on while wet

Try Head and Shoulders. Turned my feet from a flakey gross mess to a normal feet in 2 weeks.

Dr Scholls has a medicated spray and deodorant, got rid of my athletes foot in like a month

[@dougmarkham1919]

Love the content. As an instructor I have encountered several machines that for what ever reason the spool direction is different. Just in case someone has one of those and now can't get it to run correctly based on your instruction. I will be using your video in first year class for sure.

This is quickly becoming my favorite process for outdoor "dirty" work: it's effective, efficient and easy to learn and use. I'm using it build a propane tank BBQ pit and I'd say my only complaint is the amount of spatter. Also, pro tip: adapt the machine's plug to your dryer outlet if you need 220v 30a

[@AXNJXN1]

Have to be honest here, Vulcan wire is some of, if not the, worst, and I mean worst flux cored wire I have ever used. Blue Demon has risen to my #1 spot in the two machines I use. It performs flawlessly and with absolute minimal splatter and easy cleanup. I've tried probably 10+ brands and Blue Demon is always consistent and available.

Most welder manufacturers and manufacturers of high quality MiG guns sell fluxcore nozzles. I always recommend that people buy one and always use it. Not only can you short out as they showed, but any BBs that shoot out can stick to the exposed parts, and the smoke from the burning flux can coat it as well.

[@_hector__]

I could not find a single gasless nozzle for my lincoln 300/tweco #3 gun, I even went to a supply shop and they said they dont make them, just use the gas nozzle

[@melgross]

@@_hector__ tweco makes fluxcore nozzles. I don’t know about that particular gun. All the guns for my esabs have fluxcore nozzles available. I have a couple. I’d have to check. Maybe this is a special edition gun for Lincoln that uses Lincoln tips and accessories.

[@_hector__]

@@melgross Yeah if it helps its from a primeweld mig285, it doesnt say any info about the parts though but it has a 24a62 nozzle, 34a insulator and 52fn diffuser

[@aleue]

I like that you showed the issues with running the wire in the gun

[@misterbreakit2006]

Lincoln-style torches have flux-core "nozzles" made out of graphite. They look like cones that you screw on and only the tip protrudes. They're great for seeing the puddle, because the gas shield doesn't obstruct your view. Also, you should use Teflon/HDPE liners for your torch cable with flux-core wire. The steel spring liners usually found in the torches can cause your electrode wire to abrade, get stuck and birdsnest and to leave little bits of crud in the cable, that will cause birdsnesting later on.

[@SouthernGround]

I run Lincoln to, use the cover always, something else that helps is wire lube that uses a felt cleaner that goes around the wire between the spool and rollers, just a squeeze of lube on the felt each time you start a project makes the wire slicker and cleans the wired before it hits the liner.

[@balzonyr4head]

I do a lot of repair work and it's always outside, covered in dirt and other things and I absolutely love gasless flux cored wire. I mainly use .035 on a 220 machine and I never have an issue. The only time I'll use .030 is on something like an old mower deck that is just wore out and the .035 requires too much heat and it will nuke the deck.

[@Equiluxe1]

When tensioning the feed rollers for flux core it is just like for aluminium wire, adjust the tension so that the rollers just slip when you pinch the wire with your finger and thumb. Also use the shortest torch lead you unless you have push pull.

[@21Mizfit]

I’d be interested in seeing the heavier duty wire. .045 is what i use at work all the time and ive never seen any of the bigger diameters

[@AHill-oi9ct]

Tractor Supply has a T-11 wire in a 2 pound roll for $16. I like it in my little 70 amp Campbell Hausfeld.

[@brandonevans6541]

I have a a few questions 1. Would flux cord welder be good for a DIYer for structural welder for like a roll cage for off-roading? 2. What size diameter flux cord would you recommend for my first question? 3. What type of welder would you recommend for a first timer that won’t break the bank?

[@NewWelda]

1. i don't know the answer to 2. the diameter depends on the thickness of what you are welding and if you need more deposition on the metal (but also your welders tip size) 3. you could go flux core so you don't have to rent or buy a tank for mig/tig or you could go stick but that is hard to learn so flux is probably the cheapest to get into and there are some welders at harbor freight for a few hundred but im not sure how good they are because i use a steel vision and a miller (Also i am new to welding too so take what i say with a grain of salt and KZbin is your best friend) also chat gpt helps so much with basic questions about welding

[@aleue]

I don't know if it was you or another KZbinr, but someone reviewed welding wire. Didn't like Harbor Freight's wire ( welders were ok), and Blue Demon was the best. What would you not buy, and what are the top 3 best wires?

[@melgross]

I’ve never used HF wire, but what I hear is that it’s ok, but not great. I have Blue Demon fluxcore and the few times I’ve used it, it’s been pretty good. A stick out of 3/8” is generally better for fluxcore.

[@michaelkilner5031]

Rather than removing the nozzle altogether just cut the end off so you can see the contact tip. This makes it easier to see while still protecting the gas holes from being blocked by any spatter.

[@SouthernGround]

Read on either Lincoln or Miller web site in the education section why it's important to use proper wire ie. GS VS T-11, Personally I use T-11 because more time than not I go over a bead. it's not that move expensive. Horrible Fate doesn't carry T11, not sure why🤔. but if one is welding lawnmower handles who cares.

[@GaryForgingOn]

I see Isaac from IC Weld use flux core welding on major equipment. I'm sure you couldn't do that with these small welders. I would like to know some differences if you think it would be worth it. Thanks

[@GaryForgingOn]

This is probably a dumb question. I rarely weld with flux core. But does Flux Core come in low hydrogen? And if so do you have to worry about outside humidity like welding rods or is it fine because it is encased in the wire? Thanks

[@lr2d2copilot94]

I like the jacket where did you get that from?

[@MS-hd8yq]

There's your problem, ain't got no gas 😂

[@MacDaddyShreds]

Tubular! 🤙

[@MacDaddyShreds]

but fr, this video was really helpful in explaining Gasless Flux Core

[@aredditor4272]

"Flux core FCAW" sounds off. Like Tungsten inert TIG Also 110 and 220 are legacy voltages in the States.

[@Vision-xf8gl]

You know, this was absolutely great before I ran into the fact that my cheap flux core welder is an AC output MIG welder 😂 Otherwise a great video though, probably should have checked this out before getting it

[@elhombre1093]

What hood are you running here?

[@rudyrivera7426]

👌👍

[@AvocaSingleTrack]

You've got multiple problems there. Your arc length is way too long, take off that tip so you can get a closer arc length. You're also welding right into the intake vent on the side of your welder, sucking all that garbage right into your machine.. I mainly TIG weld but I use two flux core machines often. Some project I weld for days and never have those wire feed problems you're having. You've got something too tight or something wrong in your cable. You just need enough tension such that two fingers can slow down the wire but not stop it
