I like the idea of a 6010 root pass on rusty material, as it seems to give 7018 a better bite, with less chance of porosity. As always, good prep is the way to go. For a repair on something like that fence, I would grind, then needle gun before welding it.

You can take a piece of tubing slide it on the sucker rod and weld it straight to the post it’ll never break and looks great

Sucker rods are hard , 4140 , same as rifle barrels , which needs to be welded with 7018 .

I have welded a lot of sucker rod with 7018. 7014 works pretty good if you Can find it.

Rookie question, what is sucker rod?

@danielalamo2075 11 ай бұрын

I use 6011 as go to for everything on my little ranch. Especially rusty stuff. I used 7018 when I added tie downs to my trailer on clean new metal. But our miller welder quit and isn't repairable. All I have now is my dad's AC Lincoln. I can't weld 7018 with it.

They do make a 7018-AC. It has a different coating on it. I’ve used it before, not quite as as easy to use as with a DC machine, but it will maintain an arc and does a reasonably good job.

I had a problem today. I was using a new Hobart, went to weld on a rusty trailer. And I wire brushed it. And the 7018 rod kept pulling to one side. And it wouldn't keep going to both pieces of metal. So I had to use 6011 an 6010. Does this mean the steel is magnetic?

If 6011 is good enough for a trailer tongue hauling a tractor down the road, then it'll be good enough for my fence. Of course, I have no doubt that Ross is right. My sheeite Hobart crackerbox won't burn a 7018, not even an ac. If only I had traded for that miller thunderbolt many years ago...It would burn 'em all. I've seen me do it.

Jrp357 is correct ! Suckered rod is at least 4140 steel, it has to be to lift the heavy pumps & the oil up in the casing & if it is a deep well,the weight of the additional rods greatly increases the stress on the rods! Salvage yards won't even try to cut them with a shear or jaw type cutter,they have to torch or saw cut them!

A ross what if you did a 6010 first start welding on the pipe fence then over with a 6013 then covering again with a 7018 you should do a video on that just saying

Suckered rod is high carbon steel? 7018 works better on high carbon steel?

That pipe vincent course that you give . Do you also give a play book Along with the course ?

@arosswelding 11 ай бұрын

Yes, the course is broke down into digest sections. You could say play by play. That is one of the reasons we created a course around pipe fence. Is to make it easier to understand and include lots of understandable details. You bet. www.arosswelding.school/ You may also check out the example course if you still have questions.

Of course! It’s low-hydrogen rod. Eliminate, or at least reduce hydrogen-embrittlement!

@bronsonleach3573 11 ай бұрын

Also another reason 7018 doesn't penetrait as much as 6010 6011 or 6013. 8010 would be over kill. Also 7018 is a lot less difficult to clean and looks better and is easier to use than 6010. 6010 is only ment for very thick rusty materials or for welding open root. 7018 is more common and is more versatile in it's use as a rod. It is used for structural welding in the field, repair welding, and farm work. All other rods are only ment for very specific things that 7018 struggle with.

What causes 6010 to crack?

@arosswelding 11 ай бұрын

When the sun heats up the metal, the metal will expand and then when the metal cools off it contracts and the 6010 rod is just not always strong enough to not crack. It will not always crack. It is just more prone to crack versus 7018. Something to do with the type of rod it is. I cannot answer the scientific reasons.

@loganrench5680 11 ай бұрын

6010 has higher hydrogen content than low hydrogen rods like 7018 thus 6010 welds tend to be more brittle than 7018 welds
