Out of all the welding procedures I've done, gasless flux is really underrated and gets a bad rep but with the right settings and polarity it runs like a champ. It does take time to get used to, I will say but once you get it dialed it's an amazing procedure to run and it's good when you want to weld projects revolving thin gauge metal like square tubing and despite the rumors it's pentrates metals ranging up from Qutar inch and above. Happy got to See Gasless flux being used for once

My first ever welding job was welding with this procedure, dont miss it one bit 😂

There are very few good videos with gasless fluxcore that people need to see. This one is nice. Good job 👍

So cool seeing what others would see when ur welding. When under the hood u dont realize how much sparks/light/smoke are thrown off.

I bought a little 125amp flux core welder recently just for stuff that doesn't matter too much or to use where i dont have 240v access, and to be honest, if you know whats going on welding wise, it does great. Its different and more "violent" while welding but if you look past that, a puddle is a puddle. I find myself using it quite often when i dont wanna use argon or drag the generator somewhere.

Really good, interesting and well explained, thanks 👍 Mike , England

good job and looks comfortable, something to try!!!! 👏👍👍👍👍

looks better than I would’ve thought .

Thanks, I appreciate that lesson.

Good job there Luke, FCAW takes a bit of practice, you’ve done well. If you continue doing a series of cored wire tutorials, I’d like to see a couple of things demonstrated ie , you do it with a K126 or similar torch/ hand piece. These are used in the field and also suitable for testing purposes. Next I’d like to see you diagnose some common field issues like incorrect polarity, excessive wire speed and it’s relationship to amperage, , too long/ too short stick out, the difference between ESO and CTTWD, mess about with torch angles etc. I realise that you are not doing paid “advertorials” but it looks to me like you are using NR211mp, good product and I’m not being paid to say that. Maybe eve do something with the T8 and pipeline wires..

I’m glad I don’t have to fill beveled 1” thick material like you’re doing here. Those ten pound spools aren’t cheap.

thanks for sharing this knowledge your video is amazing and useful.

Great info!

Really appreciate your video ☺️

Yes! The Arcreach is awsome, I just picked one up my self. Can you do a couple more about fcaw-s with the Arcreach. Possibly using wire 1/16 or bigger?

That’s was dope bro 🤙🏼

Awesome welding thanks

I am a diy flux core guy and if you use best welds nozzle dip your wire and weld will run hotter and cleaner.

Flux core got me into welding, now doing it hurts me on a spiritual level.

Would have been nice to see a picture in-between passes. Looks great! So many people don't like flux core because they can't see the penetration. I guess I have done enough stick that I can relate to flux.

Love seeing that locally made in the USA Profax FC400 mig gun. Not sure if y’all know but we offer a gasless setup for this gun and our HD mig guns, that helps with the spatter buildup. Would love to see that in the next gasless video. Keep up the great work guys, y’all have amazing content.

Good job man.

Love love you guys!... More flux core stuff... We use it allot on the east coast... and, ship yards....Getting it good sometimes can be tricky.......Esp, with diff thickness' of metal....

In practice, innershield, is an excellent process choice. Innershield provides good penetration in less than perfect condition of metal and to effectively self shield the puddle.

Very good video nice welds.

What happens to the backing strip? No one ever shows that, i guess grind off but is it stuck all the way?

Why no closeup of the finished cap and then no video showing some bend test?

nice tutorials good job

great vid. I would have liked to hear what the wire diameter is

In need of a third tube of 5 litre gas for a small 130 amp MIG welder I bought flux-core instead and reversed the polarity inside the machine (25 year old simple machine). If one is reverting the polarity of an older/simpler machine you might need to reverse the polarity of the wire feeder as well. Mine was simple, but they can be wired differently so make sure before you buy flux-core.

Can u do some more 1/16th flux core wire having a lil trouble with it

Burns just like a 7018 we weld on structural out in the field... our test was re bar with 2 3/8 plate the heat is what got most people

Man that dude knows his shit

Brownsville Texas baby!

What wire are you using? Wouldn't you need two more backing strip on top and bottom so it won't bend ?

EXCELENTE VIDEO¡¡... Y MUY FACIL DE ENTENDER¡¡...SALUDOS DESDE MEXICO¡¡

I like it. We can not use grinders in our test just file and brush. Your is nice 👌

Nice job. Would clean the buildup around the nozzle.

Can you make a video from the 1g test with mig welding.

What’s up man new to the channel. Do you guys have any videos on the basics of NR-232? I been looking for a while I haven’t really found any videos of the wire being ran or explained in detail.

Exelente trabajo 💪😎

Gladstone laboratories in Cincinnati ohio did all our bending and x-raying. For weld certificate.

Wondering what diameter wire you used and its my understanding that a bead of 3/4" max is recommended for e71-t11.

Hell yea best welders come from Brownsville Texas 💯💯

What diameter wire were you using? I watched the video and read the comments but I didn't catch that

Greetings Luke, what wire diameter u using up?

School made me not like FCAW S at all but this video is very different from how they taught us

Whaaat;! Using a grinder, out here in California, as an Ironworker, we use (232) flux core, but we can’t use the grinder, but thanks for the tips, I have to re 🆙 my certs!

What size wire is that?

Nice 💯

I'm new to MIG welding, so have lots to learn... The .30" E71T flux core wire i use is marked as single pass, but you are doing multiple passes with it. Does that mean you can use it for multiple pass or do you have a multiple pass E71T flux core wire? If it is single pass and can be used for multiple pass, is the something special i need to know to do that?

Do a video w/ Innershield NR 232 .068" wire & NR 233 1/16" on 1 inch as well

great video, but was that cap under 1/8 of inch >.>

I just started going to a welding school and most folks tend to BM flux and i dont undesrtand why???? ive only done it for like 2 days and im already in love with it lol

I've done test up to 6g, an not ever used a backing plate. When did useing a backing plate become a test factor? Alway's started this test straight into the bottom of test plate's burning threw the tack, then make the transition while pushing the Weld forward, then point back down to bottom of starting point, then transition wire straight on the root walking back n forth, then at the top, run up am position straight on top of test plate the same as starting point. For me making all these transition's on test plate's, really help's when the test move into pipe Welding Test. Question, is the backing plate for beginners?

I always have trouble seeing my puddle when I run E71T-11, because of the smoke. Is there anything that can be done to improve the situation?

Pausing on the toes is right pronunciation!💥💥💥💥 good weld though🤜🏻💥🤛🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💯🇺🇸🏍

i certified with nr-232 nasty stuff... lol had fun with it, was goofing around with it and drilled a hole thru a 1" plate 🤣🤣🤣

what was the hood he was using? big fan

una pregunta amigo, que es mejor hilo tubular 1,2 mm o hilo tubular 1,6 mm en vertical. gracias.

Hello sir i am from India.. Nice

👍 nice

For these tests they really shouldn’t allow people to have an elbow rest. When I’m welding up in a boom lift there’s typically no arm rest. These kids need to make sure they’re practicing with no arm rest and with both hands

I’m taking welding as my trade and I live in ga but I’m thinking of moving to Cali or Texas. This question is for anybody but is there anything I need to know. Like tips, rules, techniques, etc. In my first year of welding, I’ve done Oxyfeul Cutting, Stick, MIG (vertical, horizontal and overhead) and Flux Core (vertical, horizontal and overhead). I have very little experience with TIG, I’ve only watched my instructor do it.

Is this a characteristic of flux-core welding? if i had this result with MAG it would have meant that i have not controlled the weld pool sufficiently.

Dam Bro you a bad ass💯⚔️

Nice❤

can you go up hill or down hill in this test

So with gasless do u not push or angle up on vertical like u would with most other processes?

I run that heat and speed and blow through immediately. 18.5&125

The shipyard I work at has banned gasless mig which makes me sad.

Looking to weld a few pieces of railroad track together for an anvil substitute. What is your recommendation for accomplishing this so it will hold and last??

Sweet ...

I wonder what the speed difference is between this Flux test vs Stick for this test?

no stringers ? per spec ?

can we talk about where companies use these weld process applications? i never see gasless?

Wht's wire size?

What's the wire size 1/16" ?

Is the wire speed 22,3mm/second and the ampere 123?

I'm surprised that you didn't put a land on the bevel

Pls can you do 2g open root, 7018 all the way. 🥺

*runs self shield flux core* "I better still use the gas cup!"

What size wire is that???????

Is that NR 232??

What wire is this?

I thought you couldn't grind your root for it to qualify, at least with the CWI's I have certed with haven't allowed grinding on root or covers.

all good , how ever your settings here are for your situation , sharing that info has no bearing on others situations, also you can change and reduce heat as you continue for your pc heat is increasing , for the heat input has no where to go, as you reduce your heat in this can youll gain better control as you progress through the weldment and have less hang out on the cap as you complete the process

Future job

“I see the problem wit it. It aint got no GAS in it!”

I use DSFCAW all the time. I would really hate the slow travel speed of this process.

I feel like the biggest thing is in gasless flux core is to watch the puddle closer not the pool Also why no weave on the cap? Cuz you'd have to run hotter and that'd undercut?

you never said what size wire

Different ways of doing it. My cwi does not let me weave my welds

lets see the test though

Super

why use the nozzle with no gas? NM, took it off.

CAn you put the csmara litle bit clos to the fillet in every pass...when finished de fillet ...keep close the camara and pass over slowly to see...

Why not use tip dip and spatter spray?.

Open root might work
