How to pass a 1G MIG Welding Test 

AWS D1.1, Section 4.8.1 Weld Reinforcement shall not exceed 1/8", Undercut shall not exceed 1/32"

You’re a good welder

can you demonstrate this in vertical 3g without the spray or pulse and just run it regular and also with a bend test ,, i cant seem to penetrate my root , ive failed all 3 pretest on a 1inch beveled plate ,,,

Awesome video!! Thanks!! I’ve subbed now.

Could you do one on the open root cert weld, I'm really struggling with burn through on that one

Where do I register to take this test?

What are those coppery looking streaks?

When I was taking my welding tests for AWS we weren't allowed to use take any backing on the backside of the V. We had to tack the V joints at top and bottom and then fill the gap with the root pass. Is this specific way you're doing it here, the way they test you in the real world or? Bc I've never taken a weld test for a job before. I only tested for AWS and got my certifications. Which also are pretty meaningless in the real world. Any jobs I've ever had only wanted to see me lay a couple flat passes and I guess they'd judge off that. But I'm shooting for a specific job now that is going to require me to bend V's. And I honestly don't think I even can anymore.

Hello friend, I enjoyed your video. I have a question The welding is very smooth and beautiful, but I want to know the conditions for doing this. For example, what is shield gas, etc. Please let me know

Hello sir I'm a new welder trying to claw out from the bottom I'm homeless at the moment spent every dollar I made last summer buying a lincoln mig and stuff needed to weld I have gotten enough experience welding on a generator time and time again for past few months so my question is would u be willing to send me those to practice the cert test before I got to a company? I'd be willing to repay you 10x over when I get my first pay risk what to do anymorenim outnof money failure isnt a option I'm just hoping I can find a helping hand

What welding machine are you using here? 🎉

I've heard that a weld that fat is lack of fusion

Why would you run a 1 inch test plate for an electrode that isn't pre approved for structural applications per AWS D1.1?

Nice thank you

fronius PMC ?

I like your videos. Im from Philippines and i want to work in your country as welder. .

i have this exact test tmrw. but ive got told that a 2 stringer root pass is also another way to go. that way it wont break although ive never done a 2 root pass. im a little nervous about it. does anyone have any tips?

What kind of welder are you using?

hello, I always watch your videos, you are a wonderful person, please tell me how can I come to Canada and get a job as a welder, I would really like to work as a welder in Canada, I have 7 years of experience working as a welder as a gas cutter

What's the volts and wire speed

I did a side by side comparison between your "first pass" at 4:39 and second pass at 5:44. They are the exact same pictures. Sorry, can't help it, welding Inspector! Movie magic Nice weld though

They weld dogs

Why would u run pulse on a 1g test run full spray its better penetration
