      When you invest to learn and make a career on welding it usually is to get access to better paying jobs and that involves tests and liability on what you are doing, so welding on rusty junk grabbed off a field is what you don't want anything to do with.

      6010/6011 is pipeliner rod for deep pen on the root pass, yes it also digs through crud but its chunky rough and prone to blow through.
      6013 is "farmer rod" but more because it is all position, easy to use, strong enough for most tasks, and unlike 7018 it doesn't need continuous oven storage or hermetic packaging to get its rated properties. (It still helps to give it an hour at 220f if it is old and been around humidity.)

    Thank you so much for doing this bit on welding rust! Another application this comes in handy is in my line of work where you want to keep as much of the paint and original rusty patina in order to really give scrap metal sculptures an authentic old weathered look. Sometimes the different colors of old paint left on the metals are difficult to get through, but will leave a very unique look to the sculpture.

    Hi Bob, thanks for showing some "real world" welding. :) Just like I have done in the marine (barge) repair industry. Everything there is rusty from being in water for years. Mostly welding with 3/16" 6010 rods, 160A, vertical up and overhead. Mostly inside barge or towboat hulls where it's dark, hot, and uncomfortable, and they want water-tight welds. Holds towboats together when pushing thousands of tons of barges so it must make a strong weld.

    This is what you never see someone do online and it's what we all have to do for El Cheap... The best learner video for sure! Especially with the rod explanations and flux types to make it happen.
    This is why my dad went out and bought enough 6011 and 6010 rods when I was first learning to weld when I was little. I couldn't even hold the amount of rods he'd bought. A lot of rust and oil on tractor implements like hay equipment, boxblades, and discs.
    I guess it made really me good at less than perfect welding conditions, but when I graduated to clean steel... I couldn't understand why I was having to haul a$$ the whole time! Now I don't go near it if I can help it without a grinder because it does take too long to get wrapped up! Still, I learned more than a few things from this video and the mill scale versus rust videos. I would much rather the rust without a grinder than mil scale without a grinder!

    I'm working on a job out here in Green River Wyoming and the plant will working at is a soda ash plant that produces baking soda and it is everywhere so the past couple days I've been welding with 7018 and have been frustrated out of my mind and ran out of that so I did find some 6010 and that has been day and night and this video has made me realize that 6010 is actually what I should be using and it is cutting through all this crap easily so thank you for this video

    This video really hits home with me, I work in a cinder block plant that is 70+ years old and everything is either caked in cement rust old paint and various other nasty things that make welding incredibly difficult at times, though I try my best to always clean the metal I'm working on I dont always get that luxury, working in a production facility time is very of the essence not always giving me the time I wish I had to properly prep the metal, after a decade of welding through cruddy metal I too recommend 6011 and I found that 6013 helps when welding very thin rusty metal the best.

    I love field repairs. Especially the ones with the two inch wide combo welds.
    You know what I'm talking about. When you have thirty years of tig, mig, stick and gas/clothes hanger-bailing gum and bubble wire stacked to the point the last five "repair" welds where just that. They where welding weld ten inches from the original metal.
    And now I get to play with it. Joy!

    Worst thing is underseal or bitumastic paint it wont grind or brush off,just spreads around and if it's old enough polishes to a bright black finish. It is also a good insulator so striking the arc is a job in it's own right. Best contaminant to weld is cement unless it's wet.

    hey bob, thanks for the video and the tips on different rods and situations. tool partner and I had to weld on a thickly painted shipping container ceiling last year and we kept burning through, did the same thing switched to thinner rod, lowered current, but what really did the trick for us was using electrode negative at the suggestion of a user on a welding forum. had to fix a few holes too, once we had it dialed in padding it around and then filling in worked for us as well. That paint was super thick we ground down what we could but just didnt have time to get it all, the surrounding paint burnt off and filled the whole container with smoke. Overhead in the middle of summer too. We left the truck running outside with AC blasting and had to switch off every 15 minutes or so.

  • @gregwarner3753
    @gregwarner3753 Před 4 lety +4

    When I had to weld on really dirty, rusted, painted stuff I would take the rod and get a arc started and pass it over the place to be welded fast with a long arc. It would not leave any weld metal but it would blast away some of the deeper crud. After blasting away most of the crap I would try and clean the rest away with the hammer and wire brush.
    Just a suggestion.

      @SnorrioK Před 6 lety

      There is quite the difference between it holding up on a trailer versus a bridge for instance, which is the reason it's always a preference to try and clean the surface as well as possible, if only to at least get a steady connection the whole way.

  • @tatooguy65
    @tatooguy65 Před 6 lety +26

    Another great video brother and I'm so glad you're using a vacuum and a mask. If I may suggest, please use a proper filtered mask and not a dust mask. As a welder with over 35 years as a pipeline/Industrial welder and now a UA Instructor who learned the hard way, the fumes that burn off the rods are pure poison (read the caution label on the rod boxes). Keep up the great work brother.

    • @52Ford
      @52Ford Před 6 lety +2

      For what it's worth, some of those paper masks ARE actually mean't for weld fumes. I'd have to go out to the shop to see what model number masks they are, but they work pretty well and they fit under my hood a lot better than my respirator. They're made by 3M and they have a check valve, I know that much....

    • @weldingjunkie
      @weldingjunkie Před 6 lety +4

      Why be the health police? not to sound like a jerk not trying to but do you not think Bob has never read a box of rods? hes an instructor he knows the risk that's why he has half jokingly saying he was going to die. not dismissing your claim because its true but you have to know your audience, trust me he knows. plus why are you posting your resume? would that of made your comment more or less true? like Michael Major said the paper masks do block fumes- some of them. its a filter mask. re watch the video brother.

    • @tatooguy65
      @tatooguy65 Před 6 lety +7

      Welding Junkie, my job is not to be the health police brother but it IS my job as an Instructor to educate the next generation of welders and fitters in my Hall and I did not mean to post my resume or be arrogant. I just wanted to show that I have experience in the trade and was not boasting. I follow Bob and respect his work as an instructor and in the field, I admire and know all the work he puts in. He has admitted in a video that he has the shakes and please correct me if I am wrong, but this video is one of the rare ones that I have seen him use a mask and a ventilator. I applaud him for it and just wanted to let the next generation know the dangers of the poison that comes off the welding rods. I too was young and invincible, but I am paying for it now. Stay safe brother and please wear a mask when welding.

    • @weldingjunkie
      @weldingjunkie Před 6 lety +1

      Totally get it as i said in my comment. I have many family members who weld on SUB'S its a big thing here is RI. It just sounded like you were trying to coach Bob not viewers, I agree people should wear masks but that's the case whether you have 3mo or 40 years on job. UA or no UA, unfortunately people don't wear them even if they know they should. Just came across wrong it sounded like " Hey im an instructor read the box dummy" im exaggerating for the point. Like i said wasn't trying to be a jerk because im sure you know your stuff but its all too common here on you tube now. Just make a video on it and get it out there, it comes across educational that way. BTW there are people on the subs wear safty gear to the max follow every rule then fall over the railing a die, when your times up its up! :)

I am a beginner and enjoyed watching your video as i dealt with that scenario today. I used 6011, and lots of fumes, didn't have any smoke eater/ventilation, just wind. I think i will try to make breathable air a priority next time, as you did! your videos are very helpful

    This was my life at an asphalt plant. Usually I would clean it with a torch pass with a carborizing flame. Then burn it in. If it was structural I always capped with a 7018. I didn’t like “clean work” too much. It wasn’t as challenging.
