In this video, I will be casually going about my Saturday welding off my welding truck. Which is one of my favorite things to do. We will be repairing a little sucker rod (also known as cold roll) fence down at the farm. I'll also be sharing what welding rod I use in this situation. It's nice to just enjoy some low-key farm welding from time to time. I hope you enjoy the video.

It's easier to practice good welds on work that doesn't need it than trying to learn good welding skills on work that counts.

@kurtsmith4657 Год назад

Personally I always like 6011 on rusty steel, much easier to start on rusty metal and the Flux burns through paint or rust better in my opinion. 7018 is definitely stronger but needs a cleaner surface.

@lynnnewby4530 Год назад

I agree with you. 6011 is a good for welding on structural tubing

@skylerrodarmel1724 9 месяцев назад

I'll second that and throw in 6010 aswell, they dig through the rust and dirt fairly well too

@fztfabs65 Год назад

#1 rule for welding: always be comfortable. Yes that includes wearing loafers 🤪

@eldongarner787 Год назад

@Wyogoose Год назад

In my experiences, when welding iron that has been downhole for any length of time, particularly sucker rod, it is beneficial to preheat. It takes a few moments but the result is far less cracking. From what i have been taught, sucker rod is high in tensile strength but is brittle. Preheat tends to help mitigate this. I try to go 3" on either side of the weld to about 6-800°. It takes just a moment with a rosebud, but has all but eliminated cracks for me even when saddling on production pipe. Just my .02 on what has worked for me.

@channelview8854 Год назад

Thanks. I was gonna say the same thing.

@lukehilton3562 Год назад

I love how real your videos are. Stuck rod, good to see it happens to the pros too!

@michelorphey5227 Год назад

A buddy of mine and I built a couple of 40x40 sucker rod horse pens about 25 years ago. We lasered the holes post to post , then slid the rod through. Ran a full bead around the rod. It turned out good. The only draw back, is if cattle hit and bend them, it’s harder to replace.

@johndoe43 Год назад

I used golf hats for welding for over 30 years. Usually keeps the sparks out of my ears and off of my beautiful hair 😆 I used both bottles laying down but valve end up on a 4 x4 so inclined up. I learned the hard way never let the valve end be inclined down. The oxygen ruptured the regulator and blew the hose like a bomb. I had the bottles on a truck with a 4 x 4 tilting them up but the truck was tilted. And I didn't really notice. Not big on laying them down any more.

@tdublove9558 3 месяца назад

I love the fact they used old well rods from the oil fields I broke miles of that rod as a kid in the natural gas industry

@MHolt3573 Год назад

Acetylene tanks have acetone in them that is soaked in the mat material inside the tank. With it being laid down and being used the liquid acetone can come up the hose, through the tip and blow up. Fron what Ive heard.

I share your enthusiasm for simple task around the farm or ranch. They provide a solid feeling of accomplishment because the rewards are immediate. Killing me walking on the back of your pants though 🙂

@lefthandedfenceguy4924 Год назад

That weld that you mentioned underneath the sucker rod is important also when it comes to a real cold front coming thru and the top weld wants to draw up and possibly crack.

@mikemoore9757 Год назад

The first time I welded on sucker rod, I had a devil of a time. Used sucker rod becomes magnetic over time in the earth. Apparently it does not like DC welding.There are ways to eliminate the problems if you research it. It sure does make good fence rails though!

@bartbley1269 Год назад

7018 as apposed 6010 The first 2 numbers refer to tensile strength 7018 is stronger it also has more ductility and less prone to cracking because of a more refined grain structure (low hydrogen). It is always good to do more than one pass as each pass refines the former passes grain structure and pulls out hydrogen and is less prone to cracking . It is good also to have your rod metal a higher tensile strength than your parent metal . Welding higher carbon and high tensile drill stem One would be advised to weld with 11018

@farmerx165 Год назад

you sound interesting and informed maybe YOU should make a channel

@rwg727 2 месяца назад

is drill stem another word for sucker rod? Thanks

@danrose3233 Год назад

Good to know you still stick an electrode once in a while.

@skylerrodarmel1724 9 месяцев назад

In welding school when we did our bend test we did 6010 uphill root then 7018 hot pass filler and cap. The only downhill 60 series welding we did was 6012 and 6013

@SkillIssueShynes Год назад

Glad to see even you can stick a rod every now and then! 😂 For the new welders in chat, 6010 is 10000 lbs/ sq in weaker than 7018. The first 2 digits of the 4 number rod designation refers to the tenisle straemgth of a weld made in perfect conditions. 6010 is a fast-freeze rod. It works best is open-root situations. 7018 is a fill-feeeze rod, it's better for fill and hot pass on open root welds.

@West-Texas-Pipeliner Год назад

7018 is all a all position rod . Just need to know how to run the rod down hill ( but it is definitely messy )

@bigdave6447 Год назад

Us DOT rules govern bottle transportation . Basically the valve must be protected . Acetylene bottles are supposed to be vertical when being used .

@channelview8854 Год назад

Yeah, you gotta pull the regulators and cap the cylinders or buy that safety collar that is DOT rated.

@charliehcrew1957 Год назад

Acetylene is dissolved in asatone and the tank has to be upright long enough for the liquid to flow back down or you can have problems with two different flammable substances at once and it will damage the regulators.

@nAZdzlPwr Год назад

In my experience 6010/11 is a fast freeze rod and will penetrate and can be welded in all positions, 7018 is cleaner higher tensile strength and can be welded in all positions but does not penetrate as well

@justinroper6586 Год назад

We used clips rather than welding the rod to the pipe. We had a feedlot in my younger years that the rods were welded to the pipe and the cattle were always breaking it. We had pretty good luck with the clips.

@rwg727 2 месяца назад

does the rod slide freely through those clips for expansion and contraction? Thanks

@jonleonard2660 Год назад

So way back in 1985 when I was in Vo-Tech they they called 6010 a fast freeze rod that was prone to cracking if it had to flex much. Then 7018 has what they called ductility. That allows it to move without breaking might be why it works better. You talked about down hilling 7018. all through Vo-Tech I was always, always told to only weld hill with 7018 never ever downhill. Then on first full time welding job after VoTech I was sent to a school for one week up in Lincoln, Nebraska to become a certified National Crane installer / repair welder for them. So the very first weld they had us do to install the crane sub frame to a truck was a 3/4” multi pass DOWN HILL fillet weld. The thing is we had to welding 3/4” thick steel plates to the 1/4” subframe. Then you would bolt the 3/4” plate to the truck frame. I alway that that was funny. Sorry for being so long when did with my story

@jonleonard2660 Год назад

PS always look forward to your new videos and learning something new thank you, Austin!!

@JoyceHofer-wi7vx Год назад

I need a good rod bucket like that

@Shmant45 Год назад

that is actually by the book! I JUST did my oxyfuel cutting class in school. Normally you aren't supposed to store on its side but in some situations you gotta do what you gotta do. rule of thumb is MINIMUM 1 hour. And although the book didnt say anything about it. IMO if it sits for a long time I'd personally say 2 hours to be safe.

@Jimmermahomoney Год назад

@glenngosline3303 Год назад

Acetylene contains acetone. It will leak out of the valve if laid down for a extended period of time.

@rubenrosales5594 Год назад

@chuckmiller5763 Год назад

If you are just starting out and have a newer inverter welding machine, it may not run 6010 or 6011 easily.

@jeffdenig705 Год назад

Wait. Are you saying the farm where you are welding won't send the xray truck to check your welds, lol. I had always understood 60 rods were really good for welding rusty metal w/o a bunch of preparation.

@channelview8854 Год назад

Austin, why do you preheat the whole area on that sucker rod when you are going to burn it? I only do a spot to start the cut and on round stock I frequent make the preheat flame slightly oxidizing to start the cut sooner. Also, you know DOT rules you cant transport those welding gas cylinders without either the cap on or a DOT approved safety collar to protect the valve.

@rwg727 2 месяца назад

why did the previous welds fail, Austin? Thanks !

@bofe1709 Год назад

Is MIG welding good for sucker rod and low carbon steel? is there any tip or advice you would recommend?

@phildegruy9295 Год назад

Unless you are welding in a shop and can grind the rust, scale, dirt off before welding, I would use flux core wire or 6011/7018. I have used self shielded flux core wire with success in the field on sucker rod and oilfield pipe.

What are the best ways to attach hot wire to top rail sucker rod fence?

@phildegruy9295 Год назад

They make plastic t-post clips for attaching the electric fence wire to the t-post. You can weld pieces of t-post to the top like Austin showed the fence had then attach the clips.

@kfelix2934 Год назад

I'm still confusing why a electric fence around the top of the pen? The lower part of the fence has the weaker sucker rod. The cattle and horses are going to bump into that and surely if grass is growing around the bottoms.

@arosswelding Год назад

It’s a stud pen… them stud horses like to rate up and try to go up and over if there are mares around.

@nelsonglass6 Год назад

How did it get its name sucker rod

@Thomas-bv9mn Год назад

From pulling oil up from a 18:31 down hole pump. The rod moves up and down sucking the oil up and falling back to repeat, the pumps have a one way valve. Old fashioned windmill water pumps use the same idea.

Aye Ross this my freshman year of welding im probably thinking too ahead but just for future reference, the machine and tools do I have to buy everything? or will there be shops that would let you borrow machines to get the job done. What I’m looking /interested is pipeline welding and basically be on the road. Greetings from Dallas tx !

@mikezuzack Год назад

Most shop and plant jobs are single hand where you’ll be paid an hourly rate and maybe per diem as for tools some to most will be provided but you may have to bring some of your own like a hood, tig rig, etc. As for pipeline and other rig jobs you’ll be paid straight time which is a high hourly rate or split check that is hourly, a per diem, and rig rent. You’ll need a welding rig with all your tools like a welder, leads, grinders, extension cords, oxy acetylene torch, levels, squares, beveling machines, jack stands, etc. Hope this helps

@@rusty_restorations36 Hobart Handler 140. I have the .035 and .030 wire. I'd assume I would need to at least use the .035 flux wire.

@rusty_restorations36 Год назад

@@TexasRedneck I would say yes, it’s gonna be slow, flux core doesn’t deposit metal as fast as stick or solid mig. And a small machine like that is going to hit duty cycle easy, if you don’t give it time to cool. but if you’re only building fence for yourself (aka going slow isn’t costly for the customer) I’d say you can do it. run uphill so the heat helps with penetration, and go for it. Maybe run a test joint and see how it goes

Good chioce in the E7018 for that sucker rod and or re-bar... a lot of junk and carbon in those steels.May I reccomend you switch to 1/8" dia better fill and strike /restrike [3/32" x 14" long rod quivers and shakes often sticks on first light up,even for the best welders. These rods were 9 to 12" long to prevent that untill the 1970s]. Give it a try and report back in a video sometime.🥲

NVM hahahaha, Just realized you hit this topic on the head with the Hammer right smack in this video. So Thank you for answering Have a Blessed Weekend.😁

@channelview8854 Год назад

I'm not Austin but I'll give you an answer based on 50 yrs experience plus a shop course at Oklahoma State in Ag Engineering Dept. I routinely both transport and use any high pressure cylinder in any convenient position. This is because there is only gas inside. This includes oxygen, nitrogen, argon,and we even purchased plain air when I worked for Learjet. Acetylene, my grandfather, father, and myself since 1973 would transport in any position but only use in the vertical position. It needs to be vertical for "a while" before use. One thing I see Austin doing that could get him jammed up with the Feds is you can't LEGALLY transport a welding gas cylinder with the safety cap not attached. There is a "collar" that you can buy to protect your regulator that does make it legal to leave your regulator connected. I nearly forgot. CO2 and propane both have to be standing when used because both cylinders contain liquified gas.
