Very few people mention to preheat the test plate before welding or not to let the plate get too hot between passes.

[@mrnobody5567]

I aired it out to about 300f-400f with the gouger line when I took my test

[@WolfGangFX]

You only preheat metal that is 3/4 inch thick and above. 1/2inch no pre heat needed. If you do you gonna have it dripping down like hell

[@thomassheppard3498]

Yeah it's funny I work in the nuclear world where we test out 1in plate and don't preheat it bfor test I don't know why but that's what the do but in the field you have to preheat anything 3/4 are better

[@toddjuneau4702]

I preheat 1/2" & above after im all tacked up & set to weld. You dont have to heat it blazing hot but what you want to do is "sweat the iron" meaning you can be in a 115 degree test shop & if you preheat it, i guarantee you will see moisture bleeding out of the plate. What this does is not only help eliminate Non fusion but help the metal filler bond better with the parent metal. When I test on heavy plate or pipe i normally will use a temp stick but you can cheat by when the iron starts smoking or if your testing out on tool steel material it will change colors.Another thing your pre heating for is to avoid "Nickel Inclusions". On a break test they will show up when the parent metal & the filler material are not hot enough to blend in. Always try to run as hot as you can hancle it without blowing "buck shot" everywheres or putting most of your filler metal on the floor instead of your test. Best things most times is following the WPS. I've tested out on jobs where they're so nit picky about heat input that a inspector will shoot your test specimen with a gun after every pass. They will give you a tolerance but most times its not very much. Also don't try to "hog" the iron in, run as many multiple passes in as possiable. Hogging in the iron will alot of times guarantee you to trap slag. Preheat, run as many multiple passes as you can or allowed to do, keep it clean & be courteous to the inspector or the Q.C. They can make or break you on a test for the simplest mistake that is actually passable but still gives them the right to bust you.

[@NoizyBearBearOfficial]

I loved this test out of all the processes I’ve done, this one was relaxing for some reason. I don’t know if it was the sound or the smoothness of the welds after they were finished but it was my favorite.

[@MoltenMouseMetal]

Don't take the test-welder's equipment for granted when you go in to test. Nothing burns like getting halfway through your root pass to discover the guy before you plugged half the gas-ports in your diffuser with overhead BB's even though the tip and visible portion of the nozzle looked clean. Always pull the nozzle off and make sure the diffuser ports are clean, and that your insulator is in good condition in addition to setting your contact-tip distance. A bad insulator makes putting in your first few passes on a 1" plate test feel like playing Operation, and you end up focusing on not brushing the faces of the bevel instead of watching your bead.

[@Welddotcom]

Nice work Abraham 👊👊

[@kimchiwelder8410]

Good job!🔥🔥 nice vertical flux-core👍👍

[@medsfromtrees2612]

Bruh hold up. Am I The only one who caught that abe is doing a duel shield process but selected the "Flux Core - No Gas" setting lol. Good welds either way brotha. thanks for the vid

[@walterfletcher6897]

No I was wondering where the “dualshield” came in ?

[@billsmith3543]

I scrolled until I found your comment. If you hadn't said it I would have.

[@billarroo1]

Also DON'T use "open ended" hand protectors, when doing overhead fluxcore. As the slag falling off will get caught in the open end. Use closed ended "mit" type protection.

[@edstrahan9810]

Try using Lincoln NR 232 .068-.072 wire. Use a Lincoln ln-25 box. No gas.

[@rhuey33]

Hey, what were the bevels individual or total included on each coupon?

[@pallemaniac]

Is that ostrich skin on the face shield? Luxury! 👑

[@memyselfandi6516]

At the welding school i go too they dont allow weaving with fluxcore just straight stringer beads

[@goldeneagle_wld245]

MTS 275 EVERLAST big mach. with a small price they kill it with all the fixtures they put it on burn back and inductance very handy

[@timchau727]

BIG THANKS AND APPRECIATES YOU MAN FOR THIS WELDING TEST VIDEO 💯 👍

[@wantutri7225]

Could you guys do video on demagnetizing pipe or just steel in general for welding, thanks

[@kentuckycriedfricken4667]

Did this on a miller that was only meant for mig, got it to work for flux core dual shielded but had to lower the amperage because it just was not working, melted the crap out of 3/8’s plate.

[@winson60]

When you have welded for 45 yrs. You tend to get certified in a lot of different metals such as aluminum stainless steel alloy 360 Encinal and chromoly. . I have put in 20 years of offshore welding with stick Rod 7018 filler on pipes for flow lines and use 6010 to put the beads in the root pass. Also use mig wire TIG welding in flux core. Yes I am a old timer ✌♾️💯

[@BackFire10mm]

Your title says dual shield . What gas were you using with you flux core wire? 75/25 ?

[@anangirawan4990]

How much voltase and ampere do you used and how many gas level do you use ?thanks before. From indonesia

[@zerhouniomar1847]

Thanks Abraham, and what about Fcaw open Root on 2-3-4 G position, with root gap , also with and without ceramic in the back, is it possible?? Is it recommended? Thanks again Bro

[@chappieworkz3288]

Backing strip is will be welded also to the test plate itself or not? Because if pass the root i think it will be welded also.. Anyone can explain? Thankz

[@nelsonsantos770]

What if just do a strait stringer?

[@charlesyoung8600]

Did he mention the size of wire he was using?

[@splitgalaxygaming8509]

Where can I buy a heat pad like what you show in the video?

[@JonRena-r7f]

I’ve got a test tomorrow flux all the way out, no backing plate 1/8” gap 3/4” plate.

[@mannyfranco8955]

Back gouged?

[@redblue40rc33]

I never removed the slag when welding the cap pass.. too many bbs gets on the cap...stays cleaner..never had a problem..11 yrs

[@redblue40rc33]

​​@@Ivann27 I can't remember...it's been 15 years since I welded....I think it maybe 95 or so..we had miller roller suitcase welders on the shipyard and drilling rigs production yards.....it had 1 thru 10 on the dials..like a 8 what I remember.......could be wrong..I retired from welding in 09....been in a nice factory since then...I adjust according to how the weld sounded and looked as I went..welding with one hand and adjusting knob with the other

[@s0lardr0p52]

Is their a video out there for Aws D1.1 1" plate 3g?

[@acousticmario6109]

It's the same thing just more passes.

[@Cwickraw]

I got a weld test coming up these videos help

[@josebelmontes3157]

I learned alot thru this channel Can you do a 6gr flux i would love it

[@stuarthunter7620]

Where do you get the heat proof arm shield

[@graceperiod720]

Why is it so difficult to lay in a smooth root pass on the 1inch plate?

[@jorgecabrera4736]

What tipe a wire do you use what Brend

[@josepacheco9479]

What are the temperatures he used??

[@rakeshgiri4780]

3g p How many gaps in position

[@Cwickraw]

Could you do a 2g horizontal weld test with a backing strip from start to end?

[@pitoystv]

I have a video 2g..if you like?

[@mystique6176]

Thanks buddy! Keep it up👍👍 much appreciated.

[@liquidmetal778]

You guys need to do a nr232 weld with a ln25 feeder

[@jesusibarbo3452]

Agree with u...just stydents trying to impress. I ll be laughing..nr 232. 233...

[@chappieworkz3288]

Alright 😎😎👌 Everlast😎😎👌

[@rayyan10011]

hi bro. what is the best mig setting for 1.6mm tubing steel

[@LouisianaCountryBoy1]

Where can I get that arm pad?

[@alejandrozamora8367]

What is the wire size and type

[@David-mt4qx]

Everlast 211si can i weld a 1” plate. ( i want to practice my 3g position) arc weld.

[@julianalvarado93]

What wire size were you using?????

[@ranchroberts5976]

I know that for the root pass the wire speed and volts should be on the higher side for better penetration and because the plate is cold. But as the passes stack, are the settings changed? Is there any benefit to lower wft and volts? Or to keep the same?

[@wicklash9065]

If the heat feels like its starting to get too hot. Most times i just run the same settings the full way through. Maybe just a 0.2 of a volt every two or three passes.

[@luisantoniomonroyp2714]

Hey where i can find those hat you have?

[@emirmartinez2330]

I burnt through those plates like butter with those settings 😅

[@marco5.025]

Let it cool down 6-8 minutes

[@christiansayers4747]

Did you pass?

[@marco5.025]

@Ivann27 350wire 28 volts

[@agrikabavlog2404]

Sir from rootpass to capping only one setting of ampers and vlotage?

[@acousticmario6109]

For the cap on flux core I turn my volts and wire speed down a little bit so I can get the cap a bit higher to meet the minimum tolerance.

[@lorendisney6573]

What kind of wire is that

[@DanfordSanga]

Help me to know issually Current please

[@jayhorton4462]

You should have a video with proper grinding of undercut and clean up in between welds nice vidieo

[@abdulhamidsalman7961]

Nice video / canyou make 2G butt joint on the ame welding FLUXCORE Thank you

[@cuacua186]

How are you , what is the right way to weld with flux core wire its better dragin or pushing .. If u guys can help me

[@lukegilbert6373]

always drag Flux core

[@davidcruz5278]

Can you guys do fluxcore same process but without a backing strip? I had to take a test 1/8 gap without back strip, but blew it on the root was my first time taking a test like that. Fluxcore all the way 3g Thanks guys

[@naeembashir4069]

hello how are you

[@repairtech09]

I agree I have that exam tomorrow morning and would love a demo on it

[@diegolerma1516]

Is it better to get certified in stick welding or flux core ?

[@DIRTDUMMY1]

Do every test you feel comfortable trying... a Swiss army knife/ multi tool is valuable when you need it. BE A THAT kind of welder. You'll never go hungry dude.

[@MrHighschoolwrestler]

How much gas flow are you running? 25?

[@lukegilbert6373]

probably around 30cfh

[@repairtech09]

Any suggestions for 3g Fluxcore open root going uphill?

[@Ruben901]

Another hit 👍

[@CoopKeith1]

My machine won't spark up on Flux mig

[@DorseyMassage]

Nice work

[@riffrockatansky83]

I need a video that shows Flux Core 3G with no backing, if anyone knows of one.

[@maji8722]

Whats up guys, love your content. Is it to much to ask how to regulate your flux machine? Like what to look for, what it should sound like, how much is to much when it comes to wire speed? I appreciate you all. Thank you!

[@puppystomper5216]

Wire speed all depends on the type of wire you use, you can google the range and see what fits you. The best term I heard was that your weld should sound like crackling bacon

[@xiumo1774]

USA welder?

[@scottdavis2100]

You mentioned weld procedures but didn't say anything about how they arrived at those procedures thorugh testing and manufacturers recommended parameters

[@gentedobem9937]

Alguém no brasil sabe onde comprar esse "Heat Pad" Esse protetor para o calor n mão?

[@dilan376]

Great video 👌

[@TheRitchieLeeShow]

I love slag peel. What wire are you using? I never get slag peel with flux core, nr 211 mp e71t-11, also holbart b21. I usually use .035.

[@zod-engineering-welding]

Richard, it's a bit confusing because he is not running gas-less flux cored wire like the one you are using. Most of these videos on WeldTube they use gas-shielded flux cored wire. These are E71T-1C or E71T-1C/1M. 1C = 100% CO2 shielding. 1C/1M = 100% CO2 or C25 gas shielding. It is a completely different animal than gas-less flux cored wire.

[@TheRitchieLeeShow]

@@zod-engineering-welding yea my confusion around 3:00 while he was setting up machine. It was indcating flux core/no gas. I guess i hadnt paid attention to complete title. I did see near the end of video that it was a duel sheild. It was a great video, worth watching entirerly.

[@julianalvarado93]

[@NoizyBearBearOfficial]

How thick is the backing strip? Could be your amperage is too high.

[@joemartinez8322]

@@NoizyBearBearOfficial I believe its 1/4 inch. I'm using scraps from D1.1 test

[@joemartinez8322]

@@goldeneagle_wld245 the school has the machines calibrated ever 6 month.

Try turning up your wire and heat a little. 23.3v and 225 wire speed. You could run your root hotter too if you can
