Your videos helped me actually be critical of what i was doing. Hope to be certified these coming months💪🤝

[@analogueoverdigital929]

Thank you so much for posting these videos. I'm taking my D 1.1 3g and 4g tests in 2 weeks, and four weeks. This is going to help so much, besides burning electrodes in my backyard with a cheap spark box😂. We only get 7 hours of shop time 1x a week at my school which isn't enough. I pray i pass. I'm still going for my local ironworkers Union written test, and already applied. Practice makes perfect

[@cjvega9328]

Today was my first day for intermediate stick and my teacher said to put it on 100 amps I thought it was too hot when welding and my welds were shit no matter what I did I’m gonna try this thank you sir!

[@ethanmitchell2712]

Amperage depends on the size of the electrode your using. 7018-1/8 electrodes are run at about 100 amps. In this video he’s using 3/32 rods at about 85 amps. But always play around with the settings up/down because if other people are welding around you and drawing on the same power source, it might be what’s causing problems also. Hope this helps.

[@mikeznel6048]

Best way to learn. That way, you know what way too hot is.

[@kobechapman4118]

you can also google the specific electrode you’re using. the manufacturer will often have suggested setting provided on their website, in my experience they’re usually pretty accurate

[@CJ_Jacobs]

@@ethanmitchell2712another factor to add is that it makes a difference what temp the plate test is. If you’ve been adding filler passes nonstop for 10 minutes, you may want to turn down the amps a little when the piece is getting hot.

[@mainesteam4636]

Side bends are usually for the 1”’test Face and root on the 3/8” plate

[@ShortStormtrooper-oj6hh]

Thank you for showing me how to weld for the d11 test. I’m a beginner welder and Im starting on my d11 welding practice. Your video definitely will help me prepare for my d11 test for my arc welding course I’m taking.

[@mainesteam4636]

Something to consider, if you can use power tools, on the fill passes don’t strike ahead. Light up behind where you stopped and grind off that high start. You don’t have to worry about burning out your start when you do that. It doesn’t work on the cap passes because you’ll have a grind mark on the cap then.

[@xaserizm]

i wouldn't recommend doing that it will create bad habits

[@zachpiller7653]

@@xaserizm some places require you start at the back of your crater and grind it afterword that’s how trane technologies in la crosse worked for all their weld tests whether it being ASME or PED

[@zachpiller7653]

@@xaserizm The way trane engineers want it done is the same throughout they dont care about a little grind mark. How its actually done on the floor is the proper way through out.

[@i_9_power_allah321]

For shipyard test, they want you to run stringer beads the whole test. Which makes since for the amount of heat in a weave bead,that heat changes widens grain structure.

[@WarzoneUser01]

yea most structural welding jobs only allows stringers or has a set bead width you need to match.

I'm an instructor at newport news shipyard and we don't allow stringers on test it has to be weaved

Why don you use a copper backing plate instead of a steel one? Doesnt that steel one need to be ground off?

You weld steel to steel. Your root is burned into that backing strap to make one solid part. If you out a copper backing you'd encounter all sorts of problems. Sometimes that plate is ground off, machined off, or sawed off
