3G Uphill Stick Welding D1.1 Test | SMAW 

👇WeldTube Store👇 www.weldlife.com

You should do these demos with a POS 30 year old off brand welder. That is what I always find at the test facility.

Just took my 3g test last week according to d1.1,1 inch thick plate using 1/8th 7018. passed it without power tools. It was one of the best plates ive ever done

Certified welder from ten years ago, this video was helpful giving me a refresher on things. 🙏🏽

Thanks for taking the time to do this. I haven’t welded in two years, and I’m itching to get back after it! A lot of things in this video brought up memories of experiencing running lots of 3G’s. Thank you again.

Your videos helped me actually be critical of what i was doing. Hope to be certified these coming months💪🤝

Testing is always part of any welders career, awesome video as always Matt , last cartographers, Weldtube 💯🤜🏽🤛🏽

My son is a welder and was trying to explain this all to me and told me to watch your video. Very helpful and you seem like a great teacher!!

I'm currently doing this test at school right now except it's with a 1 inch plate. I'm having the hardest time, it's like I forgot how to weld. So thank you for this.

Side bends are usually for the 1”’test Face and root on the 3/8” plate

Great video dude , amazing technique, I'm about to take my G3 test soon n this videos are helping me alot,thank you

Another great video weldtube 👍

Good stuff Matt! 🔥

Today was my first day for intermediate stick and my teacher said to put it on 100 amps I thought it was too hot when welding and my welds were shit no matter what I did I’m gonna try this thank you sir!

Awesome.thanks Matt

I take my test in early December I’m nervous you’re vids helping a lot 🔥

Great explanations and tips.

For shipyard test, they want you to run stringer beads the whole test. Which makes since for the amount of heat in a weave bead,that heat changes widens grain structure.

I’m about to take my AWS test at the end of April, great video

Nice job . Yea the pipe liner hood is my favorite hood . With the auto lens

In canada we have the cwb test. There 2 place where you need to do a stop start. They actually test these stop starts

This video real helped thank you

Wow amazing bro. With backing plate

Something to consider, if you can use power tools, on the fill passes don’t strike ahead. Light up behind where you stopped and grind off that high start. You don’t have to worry about burning out your start when you do that. It doesn’t work on the cap passes because you’ll have a grind mark on the cap then.

How have I never thought to mark where the bends are gonna be!? That's genius!

Hi, I have a question, if I have half rod that I have used before the mechanical strength of the joint will be the same or lower than the previous weld done with a new stick? I know that in some factories half used rod are thrown away for this reason

Just did mine today weave all the way

Great video! Are you going to bend it and show the actual test?

Nice work. 👍

i see you guys are using the new whistling 7018s.

Please do 4G next!!!🙏🙏🙏

for your cap, was it just a Straight Pass or Whip & Pause?

Nice nice nice ! But at the last bead you had few spots where you didn't actually fused the bevel edge,i saw that 😀 Keep that rod burning bro !

Interested in getting into welding: was wondering what that squeeky noise during the welding is? Only heard it in a few of the welding vids I've watched and wondered if it was maybe static reaching the mic or something else

I appreciate the video. It's really hard to find one as detailed as this one. I've been practicing for my test coming up. The only thing that was different is the guys hasn't told me anything about a backing bar. Maybe we don't do that here in Indiana. I wish we did though because how you put your first pass in is way different than the way I've been told to do it...? Hmm

Great job sir. Excellent tutorial. Tip the camera guy!

Does the D1.1 expire? I’ve taken it years ago and I can’t find a valid until date on my paperwork.

Perfect timing I have a test on this in may

Thanks brotha

So I run at 70 amps and have to point up to get that type of weld how did you just weld straight and point down on the first weld,nicer welder?

I wanted to see the bend test 😊but also good notes ,,

How do you get the backing strap off for testing?

I'm new to welding but I don't know how to configure the welding machine in 2g because the rod doesn't turn on but if I put it on the table it does turn on

Keeping with the quality content as per the usual, what is that high pitched chirping sound, I've never hurd that before 🤔

What about the bend due to the heat... it is ok or there is a bend limit.?

Salve salve.direto do Brasil 🇧🇷

Why no video of the finished cap?

Before coming to🇺🇸 in my country🇲🇽 we do all welding test with open root never we use a backing plate for welding test

Very good

D1.1 is mandatory in Los Angeles California if you don't have a license to weld thru the los Angeles department of building and safety than your worthless. And our test are on 1 inch plate. Good video bro

Galing Naman po

That’s why I always get undercuts gotta let the plate cool off

What do you guys do for the arc gouging at the top of the weld.

Great video. I wish you would of showed the finish product alittle more. Thank you.

So is he doing a stringer bead on the cap?

For the cover pass is the last three welds just small tight weaves or stringers i couldn’t really tell

is that 7018 3/32? or 1/8?

Ooof those welds

Where do we get the cap you're wearing under your hood? I want a slim tight fitting one like that.

Do you have to run stringers for the cap. We always did it one big one.

Any recommendations for overlap whike running a bead ? I havent found the sweet spot yet

I don't understand how yah don't get stuck, only thing that gets me

Donde puedo comprar esa mascara de soldar díganme por favor , gracias

I thought on stick welding you’re supposed to pause on the sides for 2 secs before going to the other side I’m confused

So what do u do with the plate after ur done like the back part?

ตอนผมสอมเชือมใด้ฟี..7ผ่านบ้างคีอเอคสเลเป็นงานท่าทายผมมาก, , ,โอเคครับ

Did you use a 3/32 electrode for every pass?

Daam you didn’t even let us see the FINAL WELD

How much time do you allow in between each pass?

Hell yeah

How come you guys dont really do wire?

Why don you use a copper backing plate instead of a steel one? Doesnt that steel one need to be ground off?

4 bead cap 3 rd one two to go ? Wym by that

I was taught to keep an angle all the way up, I guess you can go straight in too

Dude the saying is: “ Proper planning prevents piss poor performance”

gotta let that plate cool down between each weld so plate doesn’t bend!

What's your tip for getting the electrode not to stick mid weld

Amp?

But I never catch perosity or undercut so I must be halfway right

Vera good

Did you stay at 85amps the entire time?

Every d11 test I've ever taken was done semi out doors with a generator welder and there were no power tools allowed. Simulating field welding were most d11 will take place. Good stuff but I do wish a field type machine was used. If your a welder you know they burn different

I have a cheap $70-Chinese inverter welding machine, from Amazon that has an arc that sounds like yours.

What’s a good amp for this ? I have it at 115

Did my man just throw the 5 Ps out like its nothing? 🤣🤣

I like

They made us stop start in the bend.

whats the amperage

Show mestre

6gr con fluxcore please

Great video... But why does it say houston tejas 🤣

Wtf??? Canadian cwb requires 2 start and stops inside the bend area, how else do you test your tie ins?

For an older guy 50 my eyes have went downhill, what do y’all suggest a cheater lens or wear my reading glasses ?

I need to see u use that 1/8 7018 rod not the baby rod 3/32

Looks like you stopped right in the bend

Never took a bend test my whole career everything was x-rayed

When I passed my City and Guild MMA exams we were not allowed to use backing bars. We were expected to control the amount of penetration. Also after finishing the test piece the plates joined were expected to be flat. not bent like a butterfly.

There's birds in your machine

Thats easy, no power tools and have to start stop in bends for the canada cwb tests

You don’t need to go up that far on the backing strip
