I will let the camera guys know thanks for the feedback! The wire is Hobart Ultracore 0.45 wire- Kase

Run 2g flux at 24 and almost 300.

@@target5347 Thanks!

Flux ain’t no gas??

@@berniemac3535 in our fluxcore welding we used gas if not it forms litle holes sorta like a aeros chocolat bars.there is some auto protect fluxcore aswell👍

Some flux core uses gas, some is gasless. This is probably dualshield

@@berniemac3535there is inner shield flux that you dont use gas for. Then outer shield flux core that you use extra gas just like solid wire

Did you earn your book?

@@jonathon8856 ???

At the shipyard in my city if you work 6 months straight at the shipyard you earn your book and become a B booker with the Boilermakers.

@@jonathon8856 sorry don't know what that means but I served a 4 year apprenticeship qualifying as a 1st class welder

Philly shipyard still tests 2G 3G ceramic. Well that’s for first class contractors at least

With flux core you can get away with a SLIGHT push, but generally you want to pull. With Solid wire mig a push is far better in my opinion. Pulling gives you a little more penetration but it’s negligible. You’ll get a flatter, wider bead if you push also.

I didn’t hear any popping??? Just the normal sizzle from FCAW. Heat is not too cold either,if it’s too hot,wire will drip…gravity. Pulling dual-shield wire is not good,it would be like pushing a 7018 rod.

I’m pretty sure it’s 0.035

Come to the Union. We got plenty of work here in Texas. Even on the non union side as well

@@joshaaron5387 nice what part of Texas. I am open to union deals however I am looking for 40+ starting pay. Lucky I have a city job welding in Los Angeles California

Kase here, I had to do a open root flux core years ago for xray. What I did, (if you're allowed) is I put a nice 3/32 landing on the bevel to contain that heat a little better. If running straight Co2, run it around 20.0V and 200 wire speed and stay in the puddle. The camera crew won't be out here for a while but if they do, I'll shoot the video for ya. Also, whenever you backgouge the backside, inspect that there's no slag entrapment. Thanks

@@target5347 u ever worked shipyards?

@@adamjb21 about 7 years experience in em

I don't think there's a wps for that process under d1 just as there's no wps for hard wire with a backer man

Bro, I've failed 2 weld tests in 13 years. The most recent was last week, for a great job. It was 3/4 in plate 2g dual shield and the 2nd part was 3/8 in plate pulsebare wire 3g

When you push, what happens is that it's usually done with the nozzle leaning toward the direction of the weld (towards the left since you're "pushing" right to left) and that causes splatter to jump out in front of the area/metal you're going to be welding over. This can cause porosity when you weld over that crap. By dragging the nozzle with a slight 5-10 degrees ( slightly facing left while you drag it left to right) all that spat goes behind instead of in front of the area to be welded and hence little chance of putting down beads over spat- covered metal. Hope that helps.

Why don't you show the welds after you make each pass?
