Nice work, like your helmet too. I worked on 75mm -150mm thick cylinders prepping for sub-arc. used stick back in the day. Double vee and "J" butt joints to x-ray work. Now I'm a retired old lad who does a bit of hobby welding.👍
Thanks, from the US for your videos. I used to do ornamental iron but recently got a job welding pipe and flanges in a factory setting for the first time. I have been getting training, but I have a lot of learning to do if I am going to be able to keep this job. Your videos are really helping me out.
These are really good videos. Showing what the real world is actually like. I got to pass pulse spray open root tests 2 and 3g. I seen the one video of you doing pipe welding g 2g. There's not a lot of videos on pulse spray.
I learned a lot from your fit up, stacking and positioning! I appreciate your easy going style. I get yelled at a lot with my work. You know, nothing unjustified, but it's a trade where things can go wrong and people freak. Plus, there's someone in the shop that's on the rob, and things are missing left and right.
I refer to it as back breaking, where you put 1/2 inch shims in line the the gussest and clamp it down so it has a reverse bend to it. I’m pretty sure you clearly mentioned the would of helped lol. Thanks for the video , max props on your whole operation. You must of had good teachers or you are just smarter than average. Maybe a little of both. ✌🏻
I just have a passion dude, it makes me want to do the best i can, and im all self taught at work with help from my dad who i work with and a great welder called orvil who showed me alot
Nice welds 👍🏻I avoid using Mig Mag because it’s fast and addictive (but is what’s needed for production) Esab wire is very good quality and FRONIUS 🔥Ze best
Good quality work. I would have welded the pipe welds in the flat position and then put it on the rollers to weld the gussets. I was surprised to hear that the flat square plate pulled. I figured the gussets would’ve held it flat. The weld sounds crisp and looks like it laid in nicely.
Nice setup, I used to weld up crane cabs and legs, we had extraction fans and pipes to drag inside the legs while welding 15mm run on all joints, you would be welding and the screen get dirty, find it hard to see, and get a bit smoky, then realise the twats you work with turned the extractor fan off and the leg was full of welding fumes.
Fantastic video interesting to see something a bit different they came out really well I liked them amazing how seamless the welds are. Great work big respect
Your on peice work or per peice. Not sure what your spatter cleaning requirements are, but we would call the type of spray transfer your doing " hissing it in" which is beautiful to watch as well as very clean, but not fast. Try a bump up in your wire speed up just a bit, over an entire shift you may see some extra $$$$$. A little more crackle from that weld pool is the sound of $$ if you catch my drift. Very nice work young man.
Very nice looking welds. Although the welds look plenty hot, would be curious to know how much penetration is going in. It appears beveling is not necessary for the strength requirements of the piece I assume. Thanks for sharing 😎👍
If you tie those together like you did and weld one and jump to the other you will get about the same results as a strong back and have saved time and the number of rotation
Hey man just a friendly tip.. but you want to get PMC on that machine.. It will allow you to have a higher deposition rate while maintaining penetration regardless of your stick out.. far less heat goes into the part and reduces any warping of the part. Spray is nice but its slow and hot
@@ARCONEWELDING yeah that's exactly what pmc does.. i don't know how the hell they done it but PMC allows a pulse to lay down the weld alot faster. It may be "cooler" than spray but it still penetrates
quisiera aprender un poco mas sobre tus parametros para soldar gmaw en transferencia spray . puedes hacer un video con mas detalle muchas gracias y exitos
I find it far easier to weld the bottom plate with the pipe standing up then you can weld your quarter gusset and all in one pull so the only start and stop you have to worry about is the gusset going up the pipe the only thing is you got to increase your angle when going from the gusset to the pipe
If you'd be able to choose again to start from scratch, would you choose this type of job again or would you want to do something like TIG stainless exhausts or do some aluminium welding ? I came from welding stainless snorkels and airboxes to welding aluminium industrial oil coolers (pressure vessels), TIG welding lots of cast aluminium, thin brass, mild steel, stainless steel and copper and I used to love TIG but I'm just so over it. I guess the job where I'm atm is so shit and that made me not like the tig, also my pay is horribly under average given my qualification and certifications. That's why I was thinking of starting something like this, heavy steel migging in big companies, they're usually much better paid, big organised workshops, etc. So I was wondering if you still like it or you're over it or what's your stance in this ? Thanks
I noticed when I weld at work with spray transfer my wire stickout always seems insane but if you shorten or lengthen it it seems to start crackling like short circuit transfer but still spraying. But if you hold that stick out length it stays nice and quiet.
Does your machine have arc length correction? Because mine does and i can adjust the machine to my style of welding, it sounds like you are manually changing the arc length to get the perfect stick out
@@ARCONEWELDING correct mine does not have Arc length correction I have to do that manually at all times to get the perfect stick out I can hear the difference with any variance and stick out length and there's a very fine range where it sounds perfect.
Funny how pipe welders have a different take on how to weld it out than a structural welder I would have layed it ob its sides done the pipe to gussets first then stood in onto its ends You can get right round the cap in q run if you stood 3 of them on top of wach other Aa for the base start at a gusset tip end on a gusset tip chances are you will need to spot them after ti prevent undercut 1.2 wire would be better as well bit quicker Do you like the esab wire? I have been useing same but in 1.6mm
I honestly coudnt tell you because i use 18kg every 2 days 😅 but im sure its not worse then the copper coated ones because its still a protective coating
It's coated with silicon instead of copper, lasts just as long if not a bit longer. Apparently gives a slightly cleaner weld too, although the only type of squirty we use where i work is Dual Shield. Most of it is Tig and Stick due to quality requirements though. Is a shame sometimes as MIG would be so much faster
Things may have changed thanks to machines like fronious since my days behind the mask but I could thought you could only do true spray transfer were pure argon or argon with.0.5 % O2
Basically 210 amps is not spray transfer yet, with 1,2mm wire. Is the most bad type of arc, is better to avoid it. Between 190A-250A is an intermediar arc, and is better to avoid it, beacause is not very stable arc and a lot of spatter. Below 190A is short-circuit arc, and over 250A will start the proper spray-arc. For materials thick like in this video, i will use ~280A. Of course, this happens only in Synergic mode and convențional mode. I know, you use 1.0mm wire, so the amperages scale is lower than 1.2mm wire . BTW......thank you for that trick, that cutting pattern, marked with grinding cutter disc. I learned that now, from you.
