Wire fed welding processes like short circuit mig, spray mig, and dual shield flux core have very wide ranges of travel speeds.
Stick welding, while a very good welding process, has a much narrower range of travel speed.
Stick welding excels outdoors, for pipe welding, and one off welds or repairs.
But for production, wire fed processes can make you a lot more money.
Especially bare wire where this is no slag to chip and almost no cleanup.

I couldn't even begin to quantify all the things I've learned on this channel. Thank you Sir!

@rihamy2nd Месяц назад

No kidding! I owe probably 90% of what I know about welding to Jody.

@billmoates4544 Месяц назад

You have good teaching videos, ….all meat, no fluff.

@user-ly8qi8zy5k Месяц назад

I worked 34 years in a fire protection pipe fab shop. Used MIG process 99.8 % of the time. You can get great penetration with wire, especially with the spray arc process. Great videos sir. Keep them up.

Hey Jody keep up the videos, I always enjoy them. I am a trade qualified Boilermaker for 44 years hear in Australia and still enjoy watching weld made welding videos and keeping an eye out for new ideas and tricks to try. These day I do contract and mobile work (mostly TIG) so I can pick and choose what jobs I want and how many days a week I want to work.

When i first learned GMAW in school, our settings were 19 volts 220 IPM w/ .035 wire. The technique was just a back and forth stitch. Single and multi-pass. Our instructor didn't want circles.

@jamieh4133 Месяц назад

A lot of heat input in circles

Back in the piece work days our machines had high speed motors that topped out at 1435ipm. We ran C10 gas with .035 wire with dual schedule triggers. My low speed was about 800ipm @ 27.5 volts and high speed at 1100ipm @ 30.5 volts. Oh and this was on 7 or 10ga steel and it had to be leakproof. Fun times.

@chriswoods2263 Месяц назад

If you are running a gas mix with 80% argon you can go spray arc and get much faster again, my go to gas is an argon mix with 16% CO2 and 3% oxygen, with this mix I can do short arc, spray arc and also run my favorite dual shield flux core (E71T-12M H4) which requires between 10-25% CO2

Good Stuff

@highlyalloyed9296 Месяц назад

We're held to pretty tight travel speed, as well as the rest of the parameters like amperage and voltage, to keep our heat inputs and thus cooling rates in a narrow band. Materials research

@weldingtipsandtricks Месяц назад

@@highlyalloyed9296 that’s interesting. I had an inspector use a stopwatch once to check my speed on a stainless pipe weld. It was on the WPS but hardly ever enforced and it kinda hard to comply with in field conditions

@foundryman1985 Месяц назад

@@weldingtipsandtricksevery pass in a SMAW welding PQR submission for NAVSEA procedure, had to be documented with travel speed, material temp, and a documented map of how the beads were placed. It was a lot of data for 100+ beads for a 3" thick weld coupon!

@highlyalloyed9296 Месяц назад

@foundryman1985 NAVSEA is who I work for. Every pass documented, bead stack diagram like you mentioned, preheat and interpass temps, spool heat number, etc. We use a couple different weld data acquisition units to capture our data fortunately so there's no need for someone with a stopwatch watching the readout on the power source lol

@highlyalloyed9296 Месяц назад

@weldingtipsandtricks yeah even with a steady hand it's hard to hit tight callouts on travel speed sometimes. A lot of our stuff is done on a sidebeam or robot so it's easier for us. More repeatability and consistent data

@foundryman1985 23 дня назад

@@highlyalloyed9296 This was for qualifying a repair process for steel casting repair at the steel foundry I worked at. We didn't have much fancy equipment, so someone had to monitor the welder and document all of the passes. I did have to perform some heat input calculations to show we didn't exceed the heat input allowed. It had been awhile since I had to work in kJ/hr! Quite the process to get approved!

@georgehill6569 Месяц назад

If you preheat it up a lot would that help on penetration

@magge636 Месяц назад

Thanks Jody good video! Heat input on first 1.3 kJ/mm Faster weld 0.9 kJ/mm Not much more heat. But could be a key element on high strength steels. What gas did you use?

@bigpappas65ss Месяц назад

Hello Jody, I welded in a small shop in San Bernardino, CA. We regularly almost on the daily weld on a turntable positioner and we use spray arc and get a really ice flat weld and some pretty good penetration. Can you show show a video on that. We run at our Miller 302 machine around 28v and 600-650 ipm welding a 2” tube to a 1/4” 6x6 steel plate.

Are you running argon or gold gas?

@Mandragora1st Месяц назад

What etching solution was used? It worked instantly.

@douglasmcwhirter9572 Месяц назад

The etching solution is usually 5% nitric acid.

@douglasmcwhirter9572 Месяц назад

Now switch to something more productive. Select arc 70c-6 .052 diameter, 350 ipm and 27-29 volts using c-10 shield gas.

@rainsrapidly Месяц назад

I go so fast when mig welding I usually shock ppl ... when I switch over to stick welding I get so annoyed sometimes because of the slow travel speed...and it's constant electrode burnoff... whereas in mig I'm so use to long and short arcing due to the heat index of my puddle...

@skoomalegend1 Месяц назад

Depending on thickness, stainless, the speed is totally different. Stainless arc is slower by far. Pulse is faster with mild. Yet, I feel arc is stronger with mild. Not stainless

@Hitman-ds1ei Месяц назад

I dont get why you insistently use short circuit when you could use globular or spray even on thinner materials ?

@Misty-jv2cg Месяц назад

Short circuit is what the vast majority of hobbyist welders will be running. I'm not even sure spray transfer is possible on a 110v machine like what most people would have at home.
