Around the farm I don't weld anything too thick and everything's rusty. 7018 won't run and 6011 blows holes in everything. 7014 I found is just amazing for this type of stuff.

Austin E-7014 is just E-6013 plus added [25-30%] iron powder in the coating to improve deposit rate, operation, bead appearance ect. High iron powder rods run super smoothe and laysdown metal fast and pretty. As other commenters said, you need to run hot and keep the rod angled 30-45 deg. in the direction of travel, keeping the heavy slag from geting under or ahead of the arc. VERY IMPORTANT THESE ARE DRAG RODS you must keep the coating touching the work and a short arc. Look at the end of a used stub and you will see a flux cup. The wire is burned back fron the end. This is your arc length. If you try to hold an arc [as with 6010] you are doubling the arc length to over 1/4"! Long arc means Less amperage [heat]Short or drag arc more amperage [heat] loosing arc force needed to keep the slag Behind the arc.😎As you weld out of position with these rods the heavy slag and fluid puddle works against you. E6013 is better all position, E7014 just makes the AWS all positiion standard.

I've been welding for about 18 yrs and using 7014 for most of that time. I love the rod. Smooth, clean bead Good penetration Has to run a bit hotter than most. I run 3/32" at 95 to 100; 1/8" at 125 to 130 on inverter. Run hot on inside corners (fillets) and a bit cooler on outside corners as you said. Drag rod, shove it in, low rod angle gives slag problems Uphill rod, don't manipulate or you'll get slag inclusions Easy restrikes Doesn't need rod/heat oven. I suggest you get a bunch of scrap mild steel, usually A36 type and practice a lot with it. It will weld different from 7018 you're used to. Glad you gave the old 7014 a try, Now I need to practice more with 7018!!!!

First and foremost I’m not nearly the welder you are by experience or by trade. I’m a self taught welder who had no choice except to teach myself. I do like welding and have been welding on my farm equipment and making 3 point hook up equipment a long with repairs for over 10 years. I first started using 7014 1/8 and 5/32 on a trailer that I built for a friend. I used all new metal. I used 6011 as a root pass and then capped with 7014 1/8 and best I can remember I had my machine set about 190 amps for this other wise the welds looked like you stated cold weld not bonding. I never was successful at using these rods on uncleared metal I would always make it bright clean. These rods don’t penetrate like 6011 or 6010. I just basically used them for capping and filler multiple passes. Then after watching and picking up pointers from you I dropped them for 7018 and found that the 18 rods are a better way to fly. And never used 3/32 rods until you and a retired welder buddy that I custom bail for told me they are much easier to use. I’m fairly well stuck on 6010, 6011, and 7018. I have used others but now I see why the 7018 are a better option. My money is on you going back to the 18. I don’t think I did so much grinding in my life until I realized I had to turn the heat up on the 7014. Thanks for sharing your experiences it takes caring person to share the his experiences.

@thomaslewis9526 Ай бұрын
I'm a hobby welder, and I love 7014 because it's so easy to use. So I was startled to see it giving you (much more skilled than I) some trouble. Then I realized I have a buzz box (AC) and a cheap inverter welder (pulsating DC that acts more like AC). The electrodes I have work fine on both machines. I know what an awesome stick 7018 is, and I even have some 3/32" 7018AC, but restarts are tricky and take time. When it's weld'n season (right about now) and I unplug the microwave, and run the ten ga. extension cord out the back door, I know that at 80A or above that breaker's gonna trip. So I can do what you did, but my beads will be staggered and done 1/2inch at a time, or maybe three small beads instead of one. So 7014 is a lot easier for me. One tip I know is that the closer to a right angle you keep the stick, the more the bead will flatten out (at least horizontal position), and at 45deg. it will stack up on top of the base metal, like 6013. Good for you, to get out of your comfort zone.

It's in the same category as 7024 but you can weld in all positions with it I use this Rod all the time 4 automotive and putting brackets back on tractors patching buckets it's a fill rod hi deposit it's a great in between a 6010 or 6011 and you just get below flush and you can put a nice 7018 or 8018 cap on top of that and she's cherry

The way I learn is to try doing things a different way, sometimes it takes a little longer but I always learn from it. As I have been teaching my young coworker, I will show him what happens when the heat is too high, too low, and how fast to travel. You have to think on a different level when teaching, even if you teaching yourself, like what happens when I try this or that. I’ve learned more from teaching than being told what to do.

Austin, great channel! I picked up the last 15 pounds of a carton of 7028 and was pleasantly surprised how well they did with AC/DC on horizontal only welding. I built a trailer with it (rotating the frame (Horizontal position) in 1983 and still use it on the road to this day. It is a thick coated rod with lotsa flux on it. 3/32 or 1/8 is a great horizontal only rod.

We ran 3/16 7024 and 7014 for second pass on pipe tub bottoms, timber head jobs. Any time we needed a big second pass and wanted to lay down some metal. Not for tacking up or fabrication. The 3/16 rods were where the Big 40 would shine! The Sa 200 would run them but you would have to stop every now and then and let ‘em cool down. Those were the days! You could almost run a box ( 50 lbs) in a day. Thanks, Mike

I like to just make a couple different joints and grab a new rod and figure out the range they work best for each joint configuration I’m doing. I always keep notes in my book. My machines and all the machines at the shop. That way if I forget what I had a machine set on I can just look in my notebook and get a good start point and tweak to what the puddle tells me I need. Feet first is always more fun and makes you really pay attention to the puddle. Keep up the good works Austin. Love your videos

I like the 7014, especially for what most of my welding is. Been making lots of cattle panels and with the lighter material the lack of penetration from this rod helps not blow through. I use an old ac machine and it works well in the flat, horizontal and even over head positions. I struggle more in vertical welds and usually go with a 7018 if i cant flip the panel to flat or horizontal. As i mature in my welding i am using 6011 and 7018 more and more but with the light panels i make its easy to through down i nice strong weld

Sanding off the mill scale always helps (although with right rod not essential) and certainly won't hurt regardless of which rod or other welding prossess you use. Surprised you never ran it before, I made up welding bead samples on a big plate that hung on a wall of every type of rod we sold. when a customer wanted to know how it ran ect. I would show them, made selling much easier, so I ran everything in the book to know the product. I understand we get into using certain rods and live with them, my first rod I ever ran as a youngen (10) was 6011 went thru a few #50 boxes in my informative years, all before MIG came out, yea i'am old 😂😂, my old man said if you can run 6011 you can run anything.

It's a higher deposition Rod there's iron dust in the flux that adds to the weld puddle. It's made for faster moving higher amperage high-speed deposition with medium weld penetration. That's probably why it feels more like spray arc. Love you videos, best way to learn is to get out of your comfort zone.

I used a lot of 7014 welding 10 and 12 gauge galivinized angle to bridge beams. Old timer gave me some advice and it it was strike and drag. Dont manipulate it your playing with it too much. Atleast for what we are welding. Never did like 7014 for doing verticle up or down always swapped over to 7018. Personally I think it’s more of a flat rod.

And I should add with this second comment there is as you've already figured out an epic amount of slag that's that gummy stuff you was talking about you can get the slag in your puddle real quick you can also get worm tracks that big void you had on your hinge bracket there are people that don't like this Rod because it is a challenge to use it just like 6013 is a challenge to use and most of the time it's because the slag forces you to keep the rod angle correct or you will get it in your puddle and have inclusions City

Austin, most pipeline machines are DC only output. I have mostly run 7014 on AC, and don't have enough hood time with them on DC to form any significant opinion. I prefer the 7014 if for no other reason than I do not have random porosity issues with them. Admittedly, I haven't had porosity with 7018 in a while, bit I still tend to grab 7014 unless I think the added ductility of 7018 is needed. Try some 7024 if you have flat work to do. You'll have to turn the heat up, but it will fill in a bevel faster than anything else.
@sccolbert 4 ай бұрын
I run a lot of 7014. I am not a full time welder, and I don't want to have to deal with 7018 storage requirements, so 7014 is what I keep in my truck. I run 1/8" 7014 at about 120amps on a good fit up. 100amps on a bad fit up. Makes a nice bead, plenty of penetration, easy to start and restart. I have a hard time getting it fully fill-up the crater at the end of a run. Always end up with a slight dish no matter what I do. It runs fine uphill, but leaves too big a bead for my taste, so I still use 6011 for that.

I have never used 7014,but years ago, I made a grill similar to that for my personal use, I used some old farming disc as end pieces & used my all purpose junkyard rod, 6011...good thing I'm retired, because if I ever had to weld with any thing but 6011...I couldn't pass the test! I do know that most low hydrogen rods require a lot more heat to get penetration & most low hydrogen are ac/DC and up hill, which is also the hardest part of welding...much easier to go downhill, & let the slag drop out below the puddle. I have also learned on the old junk yard welding,that low hydrogen rods are hard to use on rusted metal: too much slag- but that's just my experience, I use that 1/8 6011 with my old Lincoln tombstone/ 225 a.c. crackerbox that I ordered from Montgomery Ward catalog in 1977 & it still rattles onward!

The heat transfers up the plate on a fillet weld. We aim the rod more at the rear plate, than we do a 45° or into the bottom plate on the root pass. Thats where the heat goes. Just like doing a vert up 7018 plate... all that heat goes up. You xan crank it and pull the rod away from the plate to increase heat, but dont. 😂

Back when I was just welding for the farm that I worked on and for neighbors and only had access to an old Marquette AC stick welder and had no knowledge of impact properties I ran miles of 1/8 7014. I preferred it to 6013 because of higher tensile strength (I knew what the number designation on stick electrodes meant). Once I started welding professionally and started educating myself on weld metal mechanical properties I stopped using it and haven’t used it since. I’m sure they’re fine for non-critical welding but why take a chance. Apparently, they worked though because I never had any failures and I welded tons of things that shouldn’t have been welded with 7014 before I knew any better.

7014 is a fast fill rod, so you were doing some out of position stuff, I am sure you felt it was a bit more fluid than 7018. Hot and fast for production work. Would be interesting to time the difference between 7018 vs 7014, maybe 2 sides of a gate?

73-75 on my primeweld and the read out is 11amps under on the leads with an amp clamp. So 84-86 amps for a 7014 3/32 en or ac ran best. EP if it was just a 1g weld. And I found the railroad tracks usually happen when you travel too slow or too fast or don't fill your start enough. Too slow can be over come by steeper rod angle. Too fast and poor start can be overcome by slowing down slightly or changing rod angle

Back when I was a teenager, we use this stuff on the farm, hated it, my father was not a big-time welder, and he liked it, after going through welding in high school, the only thing we used was 6011 and 70,18, 7018 being my preference, 7014 I never use it on anything that really matters, I found that if it isn’t turned up a little hot, it just wants to have big slag inclusions in it, it’s really bad on any kind of fillet weld, if you have somebody that is learning how to weld it’s a nice rod to give them to build a little confidence, it strikes off really easy, you can just just let them drag it. I have a cousin that couldn’t weld two pieces of metal together by accident, and when he needs some welding rod, that’s what I give him, give him! The only 7014 in my shop is a box that was given to me by a customer that didn’t like it, anyway Austin, thanks for taking the time to make the video, for a man that’s welded for 45 years even I pick up something👍

I've used 7014 uphill and downhill, they need a lot of heat, depends on your machine welding hot or cold. you do need to practice, better if you clean you metal before welding with 7014 they are good using DCEN. for the thinner metal and DCEP for the thicker metals. If you learn the rod your welds will come out smooth like 7018. I wouldn't do any heavy equipment welding with those rods they're not as strong as 7018.

Pferd makes a lot of great products, it based in Germany and is pronounced Ferd which means horse.. Btw, 4616/7014 is quite sensitive to the welding angle and prefers to get dragged

This was fun to watch. Thanks for satisfying my request if you could call it that. 7014s have 30% iron powder in them, hence the need to crank the amps up compared to the same size 7018s. It's like a 7024, which has 50% iron powder, but that is limited to flat plate or horizontal fillet welds because it's so fluid. You saying "Must be an uphill rod" was hillarious. I knew that slag ran in front of your puddle when I saw you try it. I've got a box of em in case I need to fill something up quick and I can't MIG it. Like you, I prefer 6010 and 7010s cause I can go downhill over anything, but it's another tool in my toolbox in case something shits the bed and I don't have anything else left.

From my experience 7014 is the easiest rod to use on the Lincoln 225 amp buzz box welder. It doesn't work well for anything uphill or upside down. Pretty much impossible to do uphill and upside down with the Lincoln 225 buzz box. Just watching you weld with your welder I was wondering what you would think of the 7014 rods since the 7018 seems to work so well for you. I'm glad you tried them just for the heck of it. There is definitely a big difference between Ac welder and a Dc welder in how the puddle behaves.

7014 has alien looking slag when run at correct temp. It tends to to puddle then blow out and crater because it cools very slowly. You running it vertically gave me bad flashbacks. Lol. It doesnt want to

Y ou have to remember 7014 has iron powder in the Flux so you're melting that into,the puddle! Good advice is to get a Lincoln welding rod se lection guide book !!

I am no 7014 expert by any means. But I do believe that is one of the preferred rods for ac only welding machines. I know on the old Lincoln 225 ac machines the 7014 is easier to run than 7018 is. So I am assuming that running them off those types of old ac transformers is initially what they were designed for. But that's just an assumption. I probably haven't burned more than a dozen 7014's in my entire life and all off of an old ac lincoln 225.

It runs better on AC current or straight polarity

Run it hot, flat and alot of rod angle and move its like 7024. Mayɓe 1/4" on 12" rise and weld uphill slightly up hill we build a big heavy walking beam for a steel mill it was 12 ft long to cap it i used 1/4" 7024 i put a 2"x4" on one end where it had a slight rise and started on the low end it helped a bunch those 1/4" 7024 are 5/8" dia and 18" long when you start the stinger would be over your head by the end of 12 hrs it was like holding a baseball bat . If you ever have any questions about how to run a rod ive been welding for 36 yrs ive ran a few different kind of rods i can give you some suggestions on them

Hi Austin, just wondering and sorry if you have already mentioned in a previpus video (you almost certainly have) whats the reason fpr rooting with 6010 and going downhand when pipelining ? How come you dont jusy use 7018 for the root hot pass and fill ? Thanks for doing what you do
