I think you have the international keyboard on. It's messing with your apostrophes. Also I didn't know that was a thing I mean it looked like a terrible idea from the get go, but I didn't know it was widely known and hated.
As a welder, this is bad because metallurgically where the Weld is, isn't 2 pieces of metal slapped together, it's quite literally 1 piece after a weld. You need to get the whole "2 pieces stuck together" out of your mind when welding, for all intents and purposes it IS 1 piece after a weld is completed on it, and in many cases the base metal that is joined will break LONG before that weld ever does. Look up tensile pull weld tests, the entire point is to have the metal break on either side of the weld, which is insane cause the metal is literally breaking and stretching before that weld ever pulls apart or cracks.

The Jackleg welder's secret. They used to slug welds on the welded hull Liberty ships too. That's one reason why the only surviving ones today have Riveted hulls.
I can confirm that. The welders did that to save time and many of the liberty ships broke apart and sunk. Unfortunately many will watch this video and think it’s a great idea.
The yanks threatened to hang any welders they caught doing this on Liberty ships after it was proved to be the cause of ships being lost after breaking up.
As a welder in the US… Idk what I’m more pissed off about. Is it your lack of metal prep? Who used a disk like a gahdamned ice scraper… also if you wanna be slick with this then use an open root… just saying. This “looks” cool but has no practical or fabrication use.

lol. that last one is Texas Tig. Everyone whos ever even thought about welding knows that one. And all pros know not to do it if your weld has to pass any sort of inspection, or is subject to loads approaching the max design stresses of the steel members the weld is on. good for filling large gaps for cosmetic fill only.
This looks cool, but it is merely cosmetic. You would not have good weld penetration or fusion bonding, and you would not know, because it is covered up by what appears to look like a good cap. This frightens me. Thank you for sharing what the possibilities are out there.
We had guys coming into the shop trying this crap. I would take the test work put it through X-ray and then I would break it in half on them, to show to them why it's an absolutely horrific idea. They never passed test X-ray they never pass test and they never pass tensel the only time this is good is if you're trying to make filler material on a non structural piece and even then there's easier ways to do it.
Its good for filling a gap out on the farm but if you ever did that weld on job with a welding inspector on site he'd have you run off.If they UTd that plate there would be a giant slag inclusion and no fusion line the entire length of the root of that groove,this kind of weld does have its place but not out on a construction site.Journeyman Iron Worker 45yrs as certified welder in the field.

ELOSTA, welders are a tough blue-collar crowd that loves to razz each other, and the boys gave you a hard time here!! Secret? I'd guess any professional welder knows that, lacking a better/handier method, you can strip the coating off a rod and use it as extra filler where you have a big gap, , , , BUT you should have said to limit it to non-critical, non-structural, non-certified, non-code welds. Some welds can have more permissible defects, more departures from best practices, than others This is fortunate for me at age 75, with bad eyes and shaky hands; since I know my limitations, I can still have some fun welding.
I get certain rods are for certain materials and positions but why go through all that trouble ? Does that even penetrate ? And can it even run uphill ?
I was a govt certified welder for 30 years using low hydrogen, I have never tried filling with 6013, I don't see the use in it, why would you do it ????

So how does this get past a max height on the cap tolerance, for those times when someone is actually checking behind you? That cap looked pretty large.

Why waste a rod? Just pick up steel filings off the ground....don't worry about the dirt...the dirt helps fill in the undercut. The cap is too high and the weld looks like popcorn. Take up basketweaving.
Now correct me if I am wrong but I am pretty sure that they engineer sticks and the shielding as a system. The only reason I can think of doing this is that your power supply is lacking in current. I have burnt 1/4 and 5/16 inch sticks and it took a hell of a supply, a 600Amp miller DC unit. I should think dual shield MIG would be a better choice.
It is called rod dipping . And has been done for a long time . Not to be used when welding to a procedure. . I've used it like gas welding to fix wheel barrels with large holes in them .Works as a heat sink For integrity work not to be used
Whoever taught the person in the video how to weld like this, should have whatever teaching certificate he has revoked. Crap welding. Might look good but looks only go so deep.

His welder was not running hot enough to do much of anything. The Texas Tig trick only works when you are filling a huge gap. I used to do that while installing dock levelers and that was years ago. And I know that those levelers I installed are still there in use today. Trenton brewery aka Miller Coors in Trenton Ohio is just one of the places. I installed every dock leveler there and they get heavy use.
And this is why welds fail and people get hurt or killed. I was a welder for 40 years and I can tell you that any professional welder would never do this. Learn to do it right and do it good.
Couldn't you just Texas TIG it? Same idea, just less hassle. Besides that, I haven't seen one comment saying that what you're doing is something that should be done on a critical weld at least. So then my question is, is there ever a weld that isn't critical? Maybe artistic welding, but then I need to ask, why use such thick materials to have need of this supposed secret?
Why use such thick material for artistic use? Have you never seen a sculpture made of scrap metal? This video is dangerous and made so people who know about welding engage with comments and then the algorithm is stronger than before and makes even more money for the guy
that's very illegal if a CWI finds out or sees it happening. The welder's qualification and welds would all be questionable, because it would meet the weld strength required.
Siempre he visto que usan alicates para quitar el recubrimiento, yo pongo la varilla en el piso y con el zapato la muevo como si fuera un rodillo y queda bien limpia.
Lot's of negativity, here. I would be interested to see if the welds do pass Radiography or ultrasonic inspection. There are many different ways to get things done. Not every project requires boiler level welding.
that how you stick weld sheet metal. just hit the rod on something and the flux just falls off. run your weld and use rod as a filler rod. and up goes the inside of a fullfillment center.
As always a great video. Thank you. I have what may be a silly question, on my budget, is it possible to tig weld gold? My daughter is learning to make jewelry and I build her a melting furnace and next a vacuum casting machine. God bless.
Dear You Tube, _THIS_ is the kind of misinformation you should be removing from the platform. It's one of the most dangerous practices of welding I've ever seen. Weak and dangerous welding that could result in death.
If you have enough rods to fill a gap I would use them as they should, however I would somewhat understand if you filled the gap with nails or whatever if it was very wide and you where out of rods and needed to get something non vital fixed fast.
Never knew there were so many pro welding inspectors on youtube. This is common enough theres a name for it. Texas tig and if you say you havent seen it i'd say you probably haven't seen much as it is a very well known technique yes even in 1st world. Sorry to crush so many dreams
i sometimes use an extra stick or mig wire in my other hand if i need to add filler so that method is ok i guess. i do have doubts for the other methods just laying it flat and just welding over it tho

How not to weld. When you do this you only weld the surface and not deep within the steel. This is the exact opposite of welding.
It's more like gluing than it is welding.

If someone x-ray your weld you will go to jail.
I knew this was some 3rd world crap when the guy uses a grinding disc by hand 😅
Marami ka cgurong welding rod. ,,, Beke nemen✌️😂😂😎
99% of people that ever tried this on a real job would get RTFO.
Never knew there were so many pro welding inspectors on youtube. This is common enough theres a name for it. Texas tig and if you say you havent seen it i'd say you probably haven't seen much as it is a very well known technique yes even in 1st world. Sorry to crush so many dreams
What’s the point
To loosed your job and your reputation
Tell the RT crew I have a special one for them to look at. Oh, and pull that WPS for me. I'd like to take a look at that.
i sometimes use an extra stick or mig wire in my other hand if i need to add filler so that method is ok i guess. i do have doubts for the other methods just laying it flat and just welding over it tho
I would love to see you bend testing this stuff!
Less than 1% of people are welders so it is not surprising.
Slugging is frowned on in the USA and its not going to get you a full penetration weld. What it will get you is a bunch of structural problems
And by frowned upon you mean you will be fired and blackballed.
@@drmodestoesq yes sir that is it.
Hell I dont know if my vote even counts any more.
This is not a secret and never has been,every good welder knows this.
