I prefer E6011 to E6010, useful for fighting arc blow. I can also get many of them from China. I only weld on AC by the way. I also need AC for my twin carbon arc torch.
HaHaHa! This was great! Yes, 6010 is a shit rod. Its primary purpose is for saving time on pipe by being able to do the root pass downhand. North America is the only place on the planet where it's still used. The cellulose cover creates hydrogen, and you end up with that in the root, which is why no one else uses it. Here in Japan, pipe root is a 7016 lo-hy equivalent. Pretty sure Europe and other places are, too. North America is changing to this, too, and it spells the end for this garbage rod.
Only video I've found close to a test I'm taking. I'm taking this test but it's with a 309 rod. And I'm told to drag the rod. I disagree, watching this video shows I'm correct
over here in Canada im in an aprenticeship for pressure vessel welding, this video was very helpful, will be watching mmore of your content thank you for making this video
I’m getting a good bead front and back of the plate but when I cut in half along the weld there’s porosity in the middle of the weld no sign on the surface of the weld, rods are fresh and I’m not whipping the rod either, any ideas anyone? Thanks
I will keep trying, your videos have been a massive help, does running too cold cause the same problem? Travelling to fast ? Rod angle? Thanks from the UK
I tried this with 6013 the other day, I can make the weld on the top, using 50amps. However, at that amperage I cant penetrate through the backside. If I use 55 amp I cant control the keyhole and the weld is too liquid and the backside is crowned up way too much. Any tips to control the puddle? Should I feed more rod faster when I begin to see the hole? Or do I travel slower at 50 amp?
Man I love your videos and you are a great welder! 6010 has its place in America, some who work at it mastering it can make beautiful root almost like tig, just like you with 7018/8018 in Sweden, yet we use both. One day when I travel to Sweden I will have to message you to have a beer! Take care!
For those that don’t know dcen is straight polarity and the arc is jumping from the rod to the work piece and dcep is reverse polarity and the arc is jumping from workpiece to rod.
What is the key to this weld? How do you keep a such a tight arc without snuffing out the arc? Are you using quite a high arc force? And are you using dcen, the way the arc looks and sounds I guess it might be. I tried this before and I have trouble with snuffing the arc. I was using a 309l-16 , I guess has similar characteristics to your 316-16 there.
