Yeah red beard is back. And dont be afraid of taking gas shielded outside. We do it all the time. It can be quite windy outside. As long as you stand with the wind at your back and cover with your body. We use the Kemppi evo 200 one phase machine and run 1 mm 0.0394 3/64 ″ wire. Now Kemppi has the new evo 220amp one phase This can run 1.2mm wire

Jason is the best. Explains things so well. Humble and doesn't try to BS people.

Red beard! He made the channel worth watching!!

I'll be saving this video, so that I can refer back to it when I have the time to digest it completely. Thanks for posting this!

I am currently an ironworker apprentice, and fully certified, gasless flux core was definitely not my favorite but in the field it self is a huge help because your not lugging around bottles, makes life a little easier. Love the videos btw💯

Really happy to see Jason.

I got my AWS certification in 2012. I wish I could have had this channel in my toolbox back then…sure would have made it easier!

Jason's the best! He's sharp and into the science of this stuff.

The best example of this on the net. Awesome work boys

I use gas shield flux core exclusively, and I love it because it’s so easy. I’ve bent tested and cut-and-polish tested a bunch of my welds and they’re rock solid. And I use a Yeswelder so it’s not high end equipment. It’s probably the most versatile process for the guy who wants to weld steel at home.

Hell yeah Jason is the man! Always super informative, presentation is always easy to understand, and a joy to watch. Unlike the chuckle head who thinks he's a comedian channeling Bob Ross. I wish Jason had the time to do this full time!

Haven't commented in some time as my health tends to tell me when or not to do stuff. I have straight up envy of your table. I am pushing seventy five right soon and just wish we had tools and machines like this in the sixties and even up to eighties. I really don't know when these new machines came to be but golly whiz, nice welds and little efforts for nice looking great welds. Other day I seen my landlord trying to use a torch and couldn't keep my trap shut. He blows off at me and said if you can do better then hop to it. I told him to hang onto my suspenders so I don't get to be a part of it. He had metal starting to warp and nasty looking jagged looking cuts going. He also had been at it for around fifteen minutes and was getting nowhere fast. It took me more time to clean the tip, do a little prep and then slick as a whistle sliced off the offending metal he was messing up. My cut looked like a plasma cut and no slag, just straight and sweet! He looks at me and just shook his head, where did you learn all this? Oh about forty some years ago we had to buy oxygen and acetylene plus it came from the main land so getting tanks out on a job site was right expensive. Best learn quick or learn how to use a hack saw..... he is now asking me to teach him. I just wish tho I had a better memory as I have seen the newer welders that have a great many functions that are right at the fingertips.

Great video! Very informative and educational! Thanks for sharing! 👌👍

Dualshield is an ESAB trade-name that refers to the ability to use either Argon/CO2 or 100% CO2. The gas provides the shielding and allows for a long, high voltage spray-arc that gives low-spatter high-deposition with a very fluid weld that is held in position and shaped by the slag-covering which is the primary reason for having the flux. So; gas for shielding, flux for shaping.

2:50 Dual Shield. The flux is essentially a heavy deoxidizing agent that rips through millscale like nobody's business, floating it to the top in the slag (which slag also helps support the puddle out of position.) Shield 1. Shield 2, keep the atmosphere from destroying the weld. The flux isn't designed to do that; that's where the gas shielding comes in. Dual shield.

The only things I gotta say yall missed was 1) when he asked about the first pass on the 1/2" plate, Jason shouldve told him to turn the volts up. 2) running gas on self shielded wire is not only wasting gas, it might be detrimental to the strength of the weld. The alloys and deoxydizers in the flux werent designed to have shielding gas, so they're fighting that additional unnecessary contamination.

Many years ago, I was a welder on the gas lines in Prudoe Bay alaska and also welded for Todd ship yards in Ketchikan. Musta burnt about a school bus load of rod... sure would of enjoyed a mig back then. They had some wire feed machines but I was told I had to be certified to use them.

FCAW rocks,Dual shield rocks a bit harder. I remember back in the day when folks,non welders said fcaw isn't good for structural welds,22 years later I would have to disagree. Nothing broke yet.

Thank you for thorough. Professional explanation.

I heard you say “sometimes” when you spoke of flux core used in structural work. It’s the most common used. 3” flange column, spices using Lincoln electric 232 fluxcore 072. An LN 25 and a gas drive Lincoln 350. Bring your lunch baby gonna be there a while.

With those self shielded passes, it seems to me that you either turn up the settings so you can get a flatter weld for that type of thickness or do more up and down manipulation as you travel

red beard returns

Another reason for the gas-shielding in dual shield wire is the arc will cause the gas to ionize across the arc stream giving you a “hotter”, higher penetrating arc.

Good to see red on the show

Dual shield gets you sexy welds flat like a bead of calk and it is more forgiving then 232 self shielded you can push or pull

The flux in dual shield facilitates running out of position as the slag actually freezes before the molten weld pool. Also, I’m guessing, the flux contains iron powder therefore increasing deposition rates. I run a ton of it and always say that if you can’t run vertical up and overhead with dual shield, you better find a new profession.

You told us the voltage 26 but didn’t mention the wire speed ? What wire speed ?

Come to Australia. In the mining industry its used extensively. Like for everything over 6mm

Nice Exento LowVac you guys got there! Review soon?

I do believe dual shield, the gas acts as a coolant for the gun.... I'm not super sure.

Very Kool, and informative!

…at the very least, I think a gray card would have done wonders for your color dispute between the two cameras. But thanks for the info nonetheless.

Can dual sheild use 92 argon/8 co2?

Dual shield flux core needs shielding gas because the flux aco has a lot of iron powder in in to help pick up travel speed self shielded doesn't

How many times have you set your beard on fire 😅?

Dual shield has huge deposit rates

관우인줄?

Clean shirt, new shoes And I don't know where I am goin' to Silk suit, black tie (black tie) I don't need a reason why They come runnin' just as fast as they can 'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man

I ran both running it with 75/25 gas is better to me then the gas being inside the wire

Would you take your MIG welder outside in a 10mi./ hr cross wind? Dual sheid doesn't fair any better. It's indoor, "structural MIG" welding. It's almost as expensive as TIG welding. The absence of freeze lines makes it difficult for you to analyze your mistakes. The bead looks like a slug. Just learn SMAW and MIG, keep it simple. Don't waste your money unless your in business with a shop.

I hear ESAB still has not toned down their turbines.

💯💯💯💯💯💯

👀🇮🇪⚓

Suprised u were confused on the difference

I hate MiG, outdoors it is junk. Looks like a sponge. fcaw gas or no looks ,smells and tastes like full pen. Just sayin'. Dang ole shit ain't broke yet!
