This video explains the difference between stringer beads and weave beads in a multipass weld on thicker materials. techniques and considerations for performing each type of weld.
Great teaching style sir, clear, concise and sprinkled with humor. I love it. Another great video and a valuable explaination of why my weaves were unsatisfactory to me.
Thanks for explaining that. I usually run stringers but it looks like weaves leave a better looking bead if I needed to worry about that at some point.
Thank you for sharing your expertise! I'm a new welder and would like to ask a question? I've been watching others and their techniques. Some have used 7014 in place of 6010 for the root and for the higher psi as a new approved technique then they grind/cut into the weld with a sharp cutting disk and weld over it with 7018. Any thoughts?
When you "move across the middle & hold on the sides". . . . .move across the middle & hold on the sides. . . . .move across the middle & hold on the sides. . . . how much time are you "holding" before you move across the middle to the other side? Are you supposed to do a counting technique during this whole weave bead running process???
There's a huge difference weaves put way to much heat into material softens it up changes the grain structure of the material stringers are proven stronger because your spreading that heat out most jobs I've been on have a saying you weave you leave
