Do a video on 7028 it like 7024 but low hydrogen

Please tell me which camera you use to record welding videos

Just ordered a medium cut, I'm so excited to get it!

Assim e fácil decendente

@@tittlemouse92 I truly loved my career as a union Boilermaker welder/mechanic. I admit I didn't put down the "textbook perfect" welds some people here post. I can honestly say, that in over two decades, working with the tools, I never had put in a weld that failed a test, nor did I fail to certify. There were times that, because of this, I was sent to jobs where the welder (I replaced) had taken a shortcut and got caught. You can look into a welding program at a local community College, to learn the basics. If there was advice I'd give someone it would be to be: 1. Patience, when you hurry you miss things and make mistakes. 2. Make sure the surface/s your welding are "clean from any contaminate/s". Even if you're at a welding course and get a test coupon, run a torch flane over the area your going to weld, to remove any oils. Use a grinder (disc or burr) to remove scale from the metals. If it's a tube, that means inside and out, about 1/2" along the area you'll weld. Working on a boiler for a 650 megawatt powerhouse. The customer wanted a section of water wall tube cut out/replaced for testing purposes. The material was a chrome alloy steel. Chrome alloy welds don't like dirt, of any kind. I had a good rapport with the customer weld tech, and he knew my welding. I marked and cutout the piece to be tested, located and cut/prepped the replacement piece as described above. My shift was over and the next crew came in to continue the work. They were to prep the existing area/insert/tack the new piece in. The weld procedure called for a heli-arc root and stick fill/cover. This weld was a bit tricky as I could only see/weld three-quarters of the tube. My partner, on the other side did the rest. As I heli-arced the weld and got to the spot directly 8n front of me, the weld puddle started to get bubbles in it. A clear sign that the area had never been cleaned and the weld wouldn't hold. The weld tech was called and authorized cutting the tube back out, 4 inches (either end) longer so we could see what happened. Once removed you could clearly see the area that bubbled had not been cleaned properly. The weld tech informed my boss that the other crew wasn't going to weld any more. The job was mine to complete.

No one cares your just another welder another number bud

Local 175 boilermaker, I’m loving it.

@@richardkawucha1232This was an excellent read. Taking Welding courses at CC. Is job searching easy after?

I bet he couldn't pass a x-ray for pipeline work.

They are celebrating diversity

@@mainesteam4636 the old old wooden ship?

it did

6010 has all kinds of benefits as a root/hot pass rod. However some pipework requires properties that 7018 excels at providing. Lots of reasons for both depending on setting and application I'm afraid! I don't want to get ahead of your college or confuse anything you're being taught so just keep at it the knowledge will come 👍

@@samwhite1823 No this is all good info, appreciate it. I'd really have to be in the field to get a better grasp on it. I'm currently in a shop fabricating/welding which is a whole nother ball game!

@@anxietyonline1947 nothing beats time with the machine, once you get to spend some time with 6010 you'll see how good they are at getting a root in fast, especially downhill. Keep at it bud 💪

@@samwhite1823 Yes sir I agree! Appreciate the info!

What welding machine was he using and what brand of 7018 ?

Or wait this is being rolled… so I’ve bin rolling but if it’s in position do you have to have a specific certification for a down hill root?

Different procedure, it's allowed but as with any pipe procedure if it's designed uphill you have to weld it uphill. Downhill 6010 is still the preferred method for cross country piplines

Miller welders are epic

I was using my Vantage 400 and the rod was ESAB

This position is retation

​@dja I think they know that, just asking for a fixed pipe.

Yh, and show us uphill welding..

Good luck welding uphill with a 6mm 7018 😂 300 amps! Downhand in rotation only for that procedure I'm afraid

You ain’t know these guys can wear doing handstands buddy… They ain’t got a show you lol

Did you know they use to drag hot passes back in the 1900’s?

When there's slag you drag, you never push rod.

I think they’re talking about it being a stringer bead for the hot pass. We were always taught to whip and pause a 6010 hot pass. Pretty interesting.

Down hill

If 7018 is required. 60 series rod would not be used. The root would have to be 7018.
