The slide changes the inductance of the coil, not the resistance, but that is immaterial to your explanatlion. Again, you give us information that is USEFULL! I think it is fun to use the older welder in my shop. I have been practicing using your methods, and getting a little better. Keep up the great work!!! Be well, be safe, and weld on!!!d Blessings. By the way, your 7024 rod is relatively the same price as 6011 on Amazon.

@TheFalconJetDriver 2 года назад

Hey Brandon great video on the discussion of the different rods and AC vs DC and when and why to use what! I liked the explanation of AC vs DC I will have to correct you on the current and Voltage explanation on the sine wave. In the Sine wave only the Voltage changes amplitude (voltage) does the current change? Yes as we know as voltage decreases the current increases with a constant resistance. However with a changing voltage as in AC this brings us to impedance. The comment section is not big enough to delineate that subject. The big picture being with AC, rods respond differently compared to DC with those rods that can weld with both AC and DC systems. I did learn about welding thin metal and how to approach this. 😁🛫

Hey, I've got the next one up from Craftsman, same adjustment. It does AC and DC. Seems like I've forgotten the little I knew as I may only 'fire it up once or twice a year nowadays (this 'getting old' is no fun at all, I had even forgotten I was subscribed to your channel) I have trouble getting amperage right, even quite low amps makes electrode get red hot over entire length? (35+ years ago I did a lot of on site stick welding but never really learned correct methods, welder-generator in back of van was pretty much automatic) 100% duty cycle on 20 Amps but I've never used that low. I have 6013 and 7018, sounds like I need to try some 7024, use an old toaster oven to make sure electrodes are dry, (45 min @250f) Some very useful information, thanks. Do you still have XR400? I was instructor at MMI, did fair bit of work on 'everything' over the years including 440cc conversion for student. Made it much nicer in Florida sand

@ewong8437 Год назад

@BrandonLund Год назад

@markeaston9493 Год назад

Good presentation. FYI there is a correction factor converting AC current to DC current which is why your DC was a bit hot.

@BrandonLund Год назад

@chrishadjipetris6059 8 месяцев назад

My experience with DCEP welding is that for some reason, the rods go out much quicker than with AC welding, and when I first used my inverter, I had in mind that I would set it to 80 amps, as I would do with my AC machine. However, because the metal was thin, it start melting it and I had to reduce the current. I've never tried DCEN welding. With AC on the other hand, is harder to strike an arc, but I guess after watching this video, striking an arc with DCEN it might be even harder. The reason I still have both of them, is because I have the huge and heavy AC welder in a corner in my basement ready for action at any time, while my DC inverter that is about as big and heavy as a video camera is taken apart in its suitcase and ready to be transported anywhere. In other words, if it's more practical to take the work to my basement, I'll use the AC welding machine, and if it's more practical to bring the welding machine to the work, I'll use the inverter.

@BrandonLund 8 месяцев назад

I actually like AC welding but it's also the process I started out on. It wasn't until a few years later that I started welding with DC and your right, I recall that it felt like the DC extinguised faster than on AC.

@Comm0ut Год назад

The best AC transformer machines are higher OCV power source from the era when AC stick was a major industrial process. I bought a Hobart T-400 for the cables when copper was high but kept it for the sweet arc. I'll never exceed its max power and I don't get close on the 50A outlets I typically run it from. They're big, they're heavy and demand a cart (scaffolding casters are awesome, I use the round style for welder carts with the largest wheels I can order) but they're usually cheap and have usually outlived their first owner.

@BrandonLund Год назад

I love the idea of scaffolding casters for carts!

@Farm_fab 2 года назад

Brandon, for those that are unaware, basically AC welders are made in two types. The first has multiple output connection taps or sockets. These are becoming less common today. The second one has an adjustable slug or other means that is either slid into position, or cranked to the desired output. Both have their benefits, but the first one isn't usually variable, meaning that the output current is set at, say 75 amps, and the next one might be 90. If one wanted to use something in between, they are stuck. The variable welder is easier to get between 75 and 90 amps for the output. DC welders come in several types. First is engine or electric motor powered. These are typically used in the outdoors, but the electric motor type is getting less common. These are most often used in industry. The other DC welders are similar to AC welders, but with the addition of a means of converting the AC output via a rectifier to DC. Another variety of these welders has a digital display or an analog meter that can register either voltage or amperage, or both. These are the most common types. Early electrodes didn't have a shielding coating, and we're not easy to operate for that reason.

@BrandonLund 2 года назад

Great explanation, thank you @Bryant Fry. I'm probably going to convert my free to me Harbor Freight AC mig welder over to DC this summer using a rectifier. It should be interesting.

DC seams to be faster than ac and it is definitely too hot... when I used to weld 7024 DC I didn't have to chip the slag like that it would just peel right up and looked beautiful almost like I tig welded it.

@alientrade 2 года назад

Why do you not use the 7024 more often? Also, do you have a video on reverse polarity welding?

@BrandonLund 2 года назад

@Barry Kratzer Mainly because unless you are welding flat / horizontal you have to manipulate the part to get it into that position. A lot of times it's just quicker to weld the part without manipulation. Here is a video comparing polarity and how it effects certain rods. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jj7uCglBFAc.html

Buzz boxes are valuable to have. These machines will survive a flood, EMI attacks, years of use. These machines are great for welding magnatized steel. If the steel is exposed to heat and dirt its probably magnatized. These machines are great for practicing 6013 uphill cause if you can master 6013 uphill on a buzz box you will be able to weld 7018 uphill on DC with your eyes closed.

I run 7024 on DC but only need 140 amps for 1/8 i have run it down to 125 amps and it's good on 1/8 material. When you get the right amps the slag will self peel. Looks good when the slag just lifts on it's own. I have had sections of slag 8" long peel up. Maybe on the ac welder you need high amps, the manufacturer of the rods I use say 140 amps for 1/8 rods. For 5/16 rods they say 160 to 180 amps. What make are the rods you use?

@BrandonLund 2 года назад

I'm not sure of the brand but I'm thinking they are probably lincoln. Because I didn't have the original package I used the miller online calculator to get some rough settings.They were running hot so definitely would need to dial it back some.

@bruced1429 2 года назад

@@BrandonLund I would thinking that the yes welder is not at all accurate with their readings on amps.another reviewer said this welder is really only a 160 amp one at best. So at the 170 amp setting you thought was hot and I think it was less than the 170 amps set at but still too hot for the1/8 rod 7024. Anyway try it at a lower setting then compare that to what your Fronius does at the same setting, and try it at 140 amps.

@AXNJXN1 2 года назад

Brandon, your logic on DCEN being ‘better’ for thin metal and DCEP/ thicker seems to be opposite of their inherent values..? On DCEN, the electrodes with travel towards the positive so in theory it’ll burn hotter AT the metal vs the rod. Maybe I’m missing something in what you said but I understood that to be reversed.

@BrandonLund 2 года назад

@AXNJXN1 DCEN provides less penetration and because of this it is better suited on thinner metal and works great for open root passes. DCEP has more penetration and because of this it is better suited on thicker metals. DCEP also has less chance of porosity because it has better cleaning action than DCEN.

@@BrandonLund I'm new to welding, and picked up a used Century AC 230Amp welder. I'm a bit overwhelmed at the number of options out there for machines and rods. I'm learning that proficiency with a machine is practice and familiarity with what you have. 6013, 3/32 or 1/8 pretty much does it all for me. Of course I'm just making shooting targets and doing simple repairs on mowers or firewood hauling trailers, so failure is okay.

@BrandonLund 2 года назад

Thats awesome man. My 1st welder was an AC so im real comfortable when striking an arc. A big advantage with AC over DC is that you dont get arc blow. Sometimes the arc will wander when using DC. It wont do that with AC. Personally i like AC welding

7024 allows a non-welder to learn to weld. It’s a high deposit rod because of the iron particles in the flux.

It sure does. Lays down like butter!

I would just use 7014. A homemade welder can make it spatter and penetrate like MAG. Making it useful for structural applications. I prefer AC to DC by the way.

I like AC also!
