@@relentlesswelding15 your vertical stringer before the weave, is the best I've ever seen someone run mig, it's not crowned up and you're tied in perfectly uniform on the sides. That was beautiful
Comment what we wanna see next? (Not trying to be an asshole here). That being said. More welding content would be awesome. I like your teaching style. You help this old man understand various techniques easily. So, thank xou
Great vid I’m struggling with this in school right best video as far as details I’ve found so far thank you! I’d like to see a video overview different mig volt and speed settings for different metal sizes, tips and sizes as well.
I’m in school as well. But I’ve already passed mig stick and tig . Uphill 3f and 3g are tricky but I promise just keep practicing bro than it will just click
Amazing technic brother. The trail behind wire arc is not cold its mean that you feedwire less than usuale to not melt and rund down material. Its called in Europa soft dynamic arc.
Hey bud shout out from South Carolina! Just got furloughed after 12 years on the railroad did a little bit of stick welding &4years Army but nothing to code-they shut down our shop(gotta start all over ) so I recently started studying and looking more into welding full-time. Passed “weld test 🤨” after interview & start production welding Monday… but this “weld test”…ended up being a single bead uphill fillet weld so ,3F I believe BUT they would not let me adjust welder settings (I don’t know the test parameters but that seem kinda off and THENNN said I couldn’t hold the trigger 🤔🥴so I basically stacked-tacs, tac welded atw up and settings were 24.5V 365ipm on wire!!!! It was burning hot as 2rats in a sock..passed that somehow & THEN I took a Legite test 1/2G w backing strip and settings were the same ..I passed by the Grace of God on the Tjoint-idk if that’s a legitimate test or some drill or whatever they had me do But settings were RIDICULOUS and HAVENOT seen anything similiar on YT and came across your channel man so new subscriber and best of luck brother keep gittin it! (PS-if you don’t mind I’d be grateful cuz if you wouldn’t mind running a single pass/root uphill with those settings man and lmk what you think !) GOD BLESS YALL 🇺🇸💪
Amazing video I never heard of the D motion until today.I recently did6010 downhill root with uphill fill . The root was the easy part but the uphill fill was a bit difficult. I did end up getting it down but I would like to see what you would do
Mig is the 1 that I know the least about. All I remember was that it's the hardest to do a root pass on. My shit looked like a pipe that a bunch of tree roots invaded but my fill and cap were good.😂😂
Not bad. After some practice you can really refine your hand movements and turn up the heat. You can even find that sweet spot where the heat is just right to allow the piece to heat up but not lose the puddle. This trick works good on uphill aluminum also and comes out looking really good.
It's alway interesting to see what people are teaching new welders. What is this used for? I've never had to do this in my years as a welder. I've never heard of anyone using solid wire in the field and in a shop setting you can manipulate the piece to be in a 1g position.
@@relentlesswelding15 I have done open root 3g with solid wire in the shop on 1/2 stiffiners. That was just the root and just to mess around with different processes, an experiment if you will. We filled the rest with dual shield. We all have to start somewhere, no argument here. This exercise seems like a good way to learn weld puddle control. I've noticed my apprentices always make big progress when they learn to watch the puddle.
@@relentlesswelding15 I know I do fabricating and repairs for everything from refineries to hospitals. I've never been asked to use solid wire in the field. In the shop we reposition the pieces to be a flat weld never vertical. That's why I asked when anyone would need to master vertical filet welds using solid wire? Don't get me wrong I agree everyone that wants to weld should learn everything they can. I can only think of one example for this though. Welding pipe. Sometimes the customer wants to minimize spatter inside a pipe so we tig the root. Only once have I used mig on pipe. BTW I'm certified in structural steel and high pressure pipe using multiple processes.
@@jca66 that’s interesting I believe you. When I worked in maintenance it was common to use Solid wire for our fabrication and repairs on presses because that’s what we had. Definitely have a point to what you are saying though
@@grimmfortelight1983 welding a gap is a whole different monster. But it just takes practice. When you learn to hear and feel the correct settings on whatever then you got it. That's the whole trick to welding, you just gotta work as comfortable as possible. Fuck up alot at first, everybody does, the mistakes help you get more confidence after you learn to fix them.
@GenZRuinedTheWorld Thanks for the advice, I just finished my first semester of a structural welding in May with all A's in my intro to stick and MIG classes. Next semester starts in August, after that I'll be doing the 1 year pipe certification. Appreciate the response thoe!
Ficou ótimo sua Solda !perfeita na acendente .. eu soldo acendente na MIG tambm . E nas beiradas e Em emendas ou juntaS ,nas soldagem acesdente deixo a solda penetrar mas
Each welding machine has a chart to go off of. But you will end up finding what is best for you. That's how welding works. Experiment with different settings and you will learn how to hear and feel if you have it dialed in right.
Way too cold. You are basically making small horizontal welds. Your puddle needs to be the size of your weld; if your puddle is trailing behind your wire with each movement your settings are too cold. With wire, a pretty weld is not necessarily a sound weld. Short circuit transfer is for sheet metal and/or large gaps.
@@relentlesswelding15 if i was spray welding vertical, i would be moving downward away from the heat, and if i was spray welding overhead, I would be pushing the mig whip instead of pulling for less burn in because heat is so high. but im still curious, why is it not a good idea to spray weld vertical or overhead?
@@AudiBoyzTV you are right in some applications you can spray vertical down and also spray weld overhead on a fillet weld. For the most part with spray transfer the puddle is so hot and very liquid the weld will drip and fall out. It’s generally limited to flat and horizontal positions and used in production settings to increase production time
It you were doing a test on plate with a backing strap with mig in the vertical position it will never pass a bend test or a pull test it will break in the weld every time. If you are going to weld vertical with mig use Flux core wire or stick weld with the right type of rod or tig weld . After 40 years of welding for a living , I know what technique to use . I will say this , if that's all you have is mig using 75/25 as a gas shield weld it down hill . Good luck .
Also a 40+ year weldor, never seen MIG used for anything other than some pipe roots and light materials you want to look good, as it is a low penetration process. For anything heavy you'd want to use flux-cored wires or 7018 or higher stick.
Voltage doesn’t have much to do with penetration. Wfs is the main influencer of amperage or perceived heat when welding. Voltage is just arc length which gives you potential to make a wider weld.
@@williamb.6813 we know that the spatter is worse on the stick than Mig no matter what & I know what volts to use as I also know the different transfers of Mig welding
Not with the same technique. You have to go faster and you will not get as much penetration. You need to test the welds to make sure they are strong enough
