Travel speed and Arc Length.
It's a simple concept that has been taught over and over, but needs. to be repeated.

For any one that is struggling with 7018 3g uphill, when i was first learning, i was really inconsistent, i would always run a nice solid looking bead one pass and then a second pass would look like shit and the puddle would always fallout and create a giant squidward nose on my weld, for me i was unconsciously changing my rod angle while yhe rod was getting shorter, as i was getting my stinger closer and closer to the plate, it would get a sharper angle and would cause my puddle to fallout because of the arc length, make sure you are keeping that arc super tight and make sure your rod angle is constant, never change the rod angle mid weld or the puddle will likely pool unevenly and it will lump up. Keep on burnin folks

@Beto321 Год назад

Thank You! this is exactly my problem I’m not constant with my rod angle

Thanks for the video -- helps a lot! The ONE THING I hate about 7018 is just like a 2-stroke chain saw. Huh?! Yep, runs great but REALLY HARD TO START (for me anyway, yes even after cleaning off the end for re-strikes). 7018 -- Love it and hate it.

@LukaBean10-4 Год назад

6010 is wayyy harder to strike

@AerialLensVideo Год назад

@@LukaBean10-4 Wow! Never tried 6010 but that is amazing if more difficult than 7018. I just LOVE the 7018 results, but Man is it hard to use.

@LukaBean10-4 Год назад

@@AerialLensVideo yeah and it’s more erratic. Spits slag way more than 7018 and in general is a worse option in my opinion

@mbgeloam 8 месяцев назад

I have a small concrete block on the bench, one swipe and the rod strikes. Try 6010 they are easy to strike, very aggressive, brilliant for tacking and if you get good at them everything else seems easier.

@AerialLensVideo 8 месяцев назад

Thanks - that is a good idea. The 6010 is fine too, but not for low hydrogen needs of course. @@mbgeloam

This cleared some things up, I mig weld bleachers, but wanted to go back and reteach myself stick welding, couldn't remember if stick was a drag or or a carve then go back and full motion lol

@soglod4572 Год назад

Completely depends on the electrode, for 6010 you need to carve then go back, but for 7018 it’s best to hold a steady travel speed

I know that you showed how to do it and how not to do it, and it's very helpful to me. I now know what to look for when welding 7018 3F. but... I wish I could have seen the end result of purely doing what you are supposed to, so that I can know what it looks like when finished, ya know? maybe there's a vid that you guys have that you can direct me to so that I can see what it should look like when done correctly? but other than that, thank you a lot for the help!

@GaryTaylorvw Год назад

What settings would you recommend for 4mm 7018 welding 4-5mm steel vertical? I’m using a rohr wsme 250 to learn on for the life of me I can’t get a constant arc vertical, even horizontal I’m struggling with 😂 working on my own van which is why I decided to learn … 6013 are easier but want to use 7018

@markdavies5577 5 месяцев назад

I have a mts 275 have mine set with the powerset option for 7018 1/8 should I shut it off and set it up like you did I have my arc force at 25 and hot start .8 seconds . What is the VRD option for? I usually just use the power set option for stick and might never seemed to get the machine to weld nice with it off .

@sccolbert 2 месяца назад

How would you handle an uphill weld with a decent size gap to fill, say a 1/8 or 5/32 gap? Can you do that with *just* 7018? I had no luck. Had to fill the gap with 6010 then continue on. My example comes from a cracked weld on my dump truck bed that I had to gouge out and re-weld. There were no options for flipping the part or having a better fit-up.

@loganhartsel5513 2 года назад

Question. You mention outrunning the bead. Yesterday I had to vertical weld a feeder hopper that sheared. If I went slow and controlled like normal, it would drip out, so I would go faster but I would push the rod up about a half inch from the puddle then pull it back down to build the puddle hoping it cooled enough to not drip out. It worked well, stopped dripping but the welds weren’t as pretty as they could’ve been. Was I just welding too hot? Do you drop the Amps when you vertical weld, or even overhead weld?

I have a question: watching the puddle, should I be watching the arc area creating the puddle, or the slight orange glow behind the arc as it moves?

@hunterneumann9068 3 года назад

Depends on how you can read the puddle better. For flat or horizontal I like looking at the “orange glow” rather then the not welded area ahead

@samsung-eh4dv 5 месяцев назад

My welds come out skinny but thick up top, what am I doing wrong?

@miloszivkovic6118 3 года назад

One thing i dont understand, how can slow travel speed be bad, i mean when pool of molten metal meets solid surrounding heat spreads and first solid on contact with molten pool becomes hotter and wider , by wider i mean hot parent metal area of temperature near to melting point is getting wider on pool walls. That can only be better for fusion, and lets say we weld thin sheet only problem is too much heat on walls will lead to separation so there is magic spot for max fusion, when sheet starts to.get thinner, right?

@peetky8645 2 года назад

slow speed may overheat metal causing porosity and warping. it can also cause a very wide puddle that does not penetrate at the edges. puddle should be 1-1.5 width of rod.

ok im new at welding, and started with 6011 on a very old buzz box ac only at about 225 amps. i think they were ok welds but sometimes the rod would be on fire. dont no why. then i tried 7018 it was hard to start the ark and after i used half the rod it would be glowing red-white. what am i doing wrong and could it be the buzz box or is it me. any ideas?

@peteryao2008 3 года назад

@@peteryao2008 i was using a smaller size of 7018 about 1/16 size. when i moved to the 1/8 it was better. as for the 6011 i think its the ground. because it does not happen all the time. the rod get hot and then the flux starts to burn then the ark gets hard to hold even if the puddle is well formed. still have not ruled out the buzz box. or me. lol

Its easier to weld uphill with a 3/32 on first pass then if you need more passes use a bigger rod. Seems to help with undercut and gouging and having big droops.
