How to Weld a 2G Open Root 6010 and 7018

[@pinchefrosty8381]

This is LITERALLY THE BEST HANDS DOWN explanation I've ever seen! My teachers don't even describe this and I've been wanting DEEP explanation not just simple. They never told me about the prepping part it was all computer and I did read it but never experienced it first hand and seeing this I'm saving it so I know in future tests what to so because like I said he breaks it down to an absolute T. THANK YOU!

[@KaneAKilla]

Passed my bend test on this tonight. Just wanted to come back and say thanks! 🙏🏽

[@Afghani4596]

This is literally how my instructor explained it to me , greatful for him ❤

[@justins7902]

Wow. Amazing step by step process and tips thank you for sharing this video. You are an amazing instructor.

[@boricuaarecibo9259]

This was great i didn't go to welding school i just bought a welder an started welding. Ive been practicing stacking beads for a while now. I'm going build a welding tree out of unistrut and try this 2G open root

[@cristianflores5595]

So much good info thank you sir. My instructor would never go into this much detail.

[@Royalewitchee]

The root on 6010 is such a struggle for me sometimes

[@user-hn9qg5qm3o]

See my reply below under Cody Barksdale's post

[@dolphincliffs8864]

I hate backing plates and trying to penetrate with 6010. Trying open root today at school instead.

[@user-hn9qg5qm3o]

Are you in welding school? I just recently figured out how to do the E6010 root pass. I prefer a 1/8” gap and land and run the 1/8” E6010 on 85 amps. It requires very little manipulation.

[@patriotskingnation8084]

@@user-hn9qg5qm3o after the plate is being tacked. What causes the huge middle gap in the middle is it because of pushing the grinder too hard or ?

[@user-hn9qg5qm3o]

@@patriotskingnation8084 I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking about. Can you further explain?

[@americathefree3708]

@@patriotskingnation8084 Don't stop the grinder in the middle. It take very little pressure to grind, so let the tool do the work, and move all the way down the plate. Good luck!

Awesome video buddy 💯 thank u so much for this the only critique i can give is ur tie ins their a little choppy bc wen u restarted u restarted right where u stopped instead of starting ahead a little bit and going back to trace in the crater

[@michaeleh6787]

I have a good tip for 2g , when going along the metal on stringer beads make sure to press the weld upward cause it comes down with gravity , so where you want your weld to be , keep ur like 2 cm over

[@robchesley4591]

Are you opting for 3/32 on your fill pass due to the u shape manipulation? Ive been using 1/8 for the most part but i assume it may build up to much with rod manipulation.

[@celestinorodriguez5793]

Hello, what number of glass / lens do you use for 2g? or in general which one do you recommend for smaw welding.

[@seanashcroft9713]

Hey Dom. Thank you to you and all you guys there for putting in the time and effort to make these videos. I've been following you guys for a while now and realy enjoy your videos. Really helpful, some really good stuff, thanks! So, I have a question for you. You said that you like to start your route weld on the top plate. I don't want to sound like some kind of know it all. I'm not! I had a 3G coding, almost 30 years ago and try to use logical reasoning as much as possible. If you look at Time code 19:26 on the video play back, it shows a lack of fusion and trapped inclusion. Would I be correct in saying that there was no moulten metal on the bottom plate, for the top plate to tie into and as the moulten melal on the top plate touched the colder metal on the bottom plate it got cold shock and shrunk, causing lack of fusion and perosity / trapped inclusion? Would starting on the bottom plate have solved this problem? I know they don't use the ends of the test plates, but if I was welding pipe and it was a test piece, it would make a big difference, as some examiners don't allow you a grinder. The reason I am asking is because, I am a Saturation Diver and I am seriously considering going back to welding and completing all the tickets all the way to 6G. Please dont feel that I am being disrespectful in any way? You didn't mention any thing about this and continued to weld over it. That is why I am asking.

[@johnlesoudeur3653]

In the PPE talk you do not mention nor use the use of a face mask (and you have a beard which would prevent a good seal). You get a lot of airborne fine dust especially using the flapper wheel. You probably have some LEV in the booth though to help. Other wise a first class instructive video. It is worth mentioning the change in sound when you are getting good root penetration to when the gap may close and you start to lose it.

Should not weave with your hot pass, should be straight stringer runs. You are putting in too much heat by weaving.
