this Mig welding test is used mostly as a preparation for pipe welding. The settings that you get dialed in for plate will also translate just fine over to pipe welding. Downhill root and uphill fill and cap is pretty common for pipe shops.

That looked awesome. Your definitely an inspiration to us younger generation welder. Every video you post has helped me in my welding career. I am working for Huntington Ingalls shipyard and everyday I try my best to become better and a Master of my craft. I just want to thank you on behalf of all the younger welders that have been truly inspired by your work and techniques. Thank you!

Idk how to figure out this problem hope it's not a bad machine can anyone help thanks.

@4spida2fingaz0 9 жыл бұрын

I also noticed at the very top of the plate that it gets almost too hot and the puddle recedes and draws the plate metal creating a divit per se at the very top. This is a problem I've had welding plate GMAW or smaw in the past. how can you prevent this while having well enough amperage to get good penetration but without causing that? Maybe sacrifice a solid bead for a tie in mid section hit it colder on the final segment? What do you say?

Jody, I'm getting ready to weld up side strips that go around the perimeter of a table top. It's aluminum, and I'm not sure how to approach this thing in terms of avoiding distortion. I want the table to be flat when I'm done, but will be welding this strip all the way around the perimeter. It may not be a problem, but it sounds like a recipe for distortion. I've got ideas as to how to keep distortion down, but I'm curious if you have any general ideas on how to approach this thing. I watched your video on distortion, but don't know how that would apply to what I'm doing. After all of these years I have to thank you for the zillions of excellent videos you've made.

Hi Jody; Going back to your Stick Welding Tips Vertical 7018, you said some testers were not allowing weaving because of too much heat input causing grain growth failure, how does it or will it apply to the weave when doing a mig vert. up, like in this video. It seems to have similar heat input to the work and if it causes a problem with stick welding, why wouldn't it cause a problem in mig welding also?Thanks again for your videos, your channel is great.

@PANTYEATR1 9 жыл бұрын

great video Jody. I do have 3 questions for you tho. on a plate test like that, is going down-hill acceptable only in open root? in school they only allowed us to go uphill on the 3G plate test, but that's with a backing plate, not open root. can up-hill be done 3G open root? and grinding... when you want to grind a weld for aesthetics or looks what's the rule or proper way of doing that? I have ground down some welds for looks before, but only ended up weakening the weld and having it break loose or fail. thanks in advance

Welds look good. Some diffrences in what you are showing and what I was taught in the boilermakers apprenticeship no down hill all verts and that also includes root pass. Most of the time we are allowed a backing plate but sometimes they want it to be an open joint. Caps are done in 3 passes. One in the center and then one on each side.

@kalebmoore7290 Жыл бұрын

an alternative to a root with more penetration using a tighter gap like that would be to crank the voltage up to 18-19 volts & turn down your wire speed! like 18.5/180-190. was tricky learning that the longer i can keep the puddle molten, the more wire i can feed into it before it sets. when i started i just tried to turn it down & throw as much wire in there as i could do long as the machine ran well & what you start to realize is the roots sets faster the colder you go & the increased wire speed only fills the gap faster so it doesn’t necessarily give you time to break down the walls & let the puddle soak up any wire.

@johnt9810 9 жыл бұрын

Hey, I finally got consistent running my MIG root up hill. I had problems with either lack of penetration or blowing out. Played with all kinds and combinations of gap and landing dimensions. Here's what worked for me: 1/8" landing with 1/8 gap. 18.5 volt and .035 wire set on 3 of 10 on our Miller wire feeder (sorry, no Ipm) For me the 1/8" landing was the big break through. Tried a 3/32" but I had problems with the gap shrinking closed on me so I went to a 1/8". I feather in my tacks to help with tying into them but I don't grind them so much as to weaken them. I use a "Z" pattern going from the corner formed by the landing and the bevel on one side to the opposing corner letting the puddle tell me when to move. Gun is at a 15° push angle. If/as I see the gap shrinking closed I tighten my weave and try to make sure my puddle is flowing into the gap. "It's what worked for me"
