This is another long one fellas. Way too many of you guys are asking about this so instead of replying to each of you one at a time I'm just going to link this video for you and hopefully it helps out your flux core welding. I might become a flux core welding channel pretty soon lmao. Basically in the video I show you guys how to take a regular gasless welder and use it to weld upwards or vertical. Once you get the hang of it, its not that hard so as long as you keep trying, it should all work out!

Several people thought the flux core process was weak and dirty so this video is to basically test to see how well the welding process actually works. Settings are the same as last time and the welder is a vulcan omnipro 220 welder from harbor freight tools. Let me know if there are any other videos you guys want to see about welding and welding accessories.

Nice video, will definitely be giving this a go next time I get in the shed. Just a hobby welder, learning to gun with flux core. I absolutely see what you been with balancing load to penetration. I also absolutely see what you mean when it comes to checking the pen and how to balance between materials with different amount of support ( E.g. welding an open end to side of a tube).

@russ_vee_jr4199 3 года назад

Well presented vid with lots of good info as is your other vids. Good job! Some points: You can't MIG in the wind or even in a slight breeze. If MIG is required, wind shields are set up around the welding position else the protective gas would get blown away and the weld would look awful, be porous and would never pass inspection. That's why Flux or Stick welding is used outside of the shop and even in the shop when ventilating fans are running. MIG is preferred when welding thin sheet metal such as in body work but isn't mandatory. I've done both. When Fluxing, take that Gas Shield off and use a Flux Shield to protect the tip. A Flux Shield provide a much better view of the weld bead as you're laying it down. definitely

@russ_vee_jr4199 3 года назад

Also, after a few years DIY welding, I started using Bead Spatter Spray. The spatter comes off even with a putty knife and definitely with a powered wire wheel. No grinding or sanding required. Hope this helps.

@NightWrencher 3 года назад

Thank you! Very insightful!

@RideEventually 2 года назад

Im sorry my friend but you are a bit wrong here... "You can't MIG in the wind or even in a slight breeze." While you have a point here i can tell you that this is easily overcome by the volume of gas per min. Ive been welding Ships professionally for a few years and i can tell you that NOT having wind or breeze while welding is a thing of the Si-Fi universe. Also when you weld inside of the hull or the nose of the ship you are not gonna weld without ventilation because you will die. And that ventilation has a signifficant air pull. Trust me on that one.

@sk22ng 2 года назад

@@RideEventually I agree! that all you have to do is compensate for the breeze by increasing the gas pressure. Gas isn't horribly expensive and makes welding so much easier by not having to deal with the flux. I realized when I switched over to gas that I'd never go back to flux core again. I kept the old spool of flux core around in case I run out of gas or mig wire. I also keep a backup cylinder on hand.

Lol you have a lot of work ahead of you. I do remember you comented before about this. Put a piece of sheet metal, tack it in place from behind. Fill it with body filler

@donstalinsky5339 3 года назад

In another video, you indicated that with flux core welding you should drag the weld because the pushing the weld with flux can cause problems with the weld puddle. In this vertical welding demonstration, you are pushing the weld while using flux core. Why isn't this a problem? Also wanted to say that I'm a beginner hobbyist welder and I find your instruction terrific...concise and easy to understand. Thanks.

@NightWrencher 3 года назад

Thanks man, I just watched the whole video and I assure you that I'm dragging the weld. My gun angle is angled away from the direction of the puddle and I'm pulling the gun up, not pushing the puddle forward.

@TravisInCanada1 3 года назад

You make very informative videos with a lot of little detail which I personally appreciate. I haven't started welding yet (just bought my machine) however as a complete noob and as you pointed there is a lot of smoke. I notice no one seems to address breathing the smoke in ( in any videos) This is toxic right? Is there a reason why I don't see anyone wear a respirator? Thanks for the informative videos 👍

@NightWrencher 3 года назад

Thank you! Its common knowlege that you need proper ventilation when welding but most of us forget to mention it because its natural for us to set up a fan or something that blows the smoke away. As for the respirator, you would be hard pressed to try to wear a respirator and a welding mask at the same time lol

@@NightWrencher Alright just wanted to ask cause I see these guys on Instagram standing in a cloud of smoke (clearly not using a fan) and I'm thinking wtf.

Great videos! Those welds turned out great! Do you find that the wire brand you use, when doing flux core, makes a difference?

@NightWrencher 3 года назад

Thanks man, appreciate it! I did find that different wire welds better at different settings. Lincoln wire is my favorite so far because it welds very clean. I dont like the harbor freight wire too much. Ive tried a few more but I think its easier to weld with lincoln

@ChristopherSalisburySalz 3 года назад

@@NightWrencher By "Harbor Freight" wire are you referring to the Vulcan brand at Harbor Freight or their older brand? I think the Vulcan brand is not too bad. I'm sure Lincoln is probably better. I pick some up when I use up the Vulcan.

@NightWrencher 3 года назад

@gregorytimmons2808 2 года назад

The deposition rate with flux core is not much. MIG solid wire burns thru much easier.

Hey mate great vids, my biggest problem is when I start the weld or when it arcs or whatever you call it I'm blinded for a split second or two then lose the plot and more or less am welding blind for that split second and are over the place after that I'm not to bad any tips ;cheers

@NightWrencher 2 года назад

Helmets have a delay feature that determines how fast the auto darkening kicks in. Try to set that to mininum and darken the helmet a bit too.

@danburch9989 Год назад

@@NightWrencher My helmet has a 1/25,000th second delay from bright to dim, not adjustable. It has an adjustment delay from dark toi bright (.1 to 1.0 second) after the arc extinguishes. It doesn't make sense to delay the dimming after the arc starts - we call it arc flash and can lead to temporary blindness and pain.

Can i weld flux core bi and steenless steel together? Is there flux core wire for steenless steel?

@NightWrencher 3 года назад

sorry for the late reply, there's a special wire you can buy for flux core stainless. it does not weld the same as regular flux core but it does work and wont rust like flux core will. if you weld stainless with flux core, it will not be stainless anymore and it will rust.
