Had a 3g and 4g test fluxcore today one inch plate, having never done 4g before I was stressing it but I found y’all’s video and went in there and knocked it out like nothing, these guys are the real deal thank you for helping me put food on the table💯
Congrats. I will have a 3G and 4G test tomorrow. I've done a simple vertical test before and welded a good amount of dumpsters which included overhead but I'm really scare for this test. It's probably not like the dumpsters.
Thank you, I haven't done overhead MIG in 7 years and I was struggling today with a test plate. All down to my root setting and trying to go left to right instead of back to front. Great refresher!
Open root FCAW is a must for any ship building job test. Nice vid man. I wish I coulda found something like this when I started getting into marine welding
I bombed the hell out of an overhead wire test years ago lol but I have more knowledge now in the field. My second 4g test ever will be this week, so practicing and watching this vid definitely pumps me up a bit more for this test. Thanks man!👌
It went pretty well, I used 0.45 wire on it. That job ended so I jumped on with my old job and tested for wire as well. I used that thicker wire and didn’t do so hot lol
Yeah lol I mainly weld stick where we are at, but I wanted to do the wire test that way I have that cert through the company already. I passed it but my cap looked ugly haha next time I grab that wire I’ll practice a bit more with that bigger wire lol 👍
thanks to weldtube for the vids! got some good info on some of yalls stuff that will hopefully help get me thru school and to pass this first weld test/interview i got soon. only 1 con tho, for petes sake, cut back on the ads a bit. i understand like one ad at the beginning but like 2 or 3 ads throughout the vid is distracting
For the cover passes, when u pass the actual test u got to end it with 2 or 3 passes ? some people told me since the second layer has 2 u must end it with 3... but it seems more logical and easier to me to cover it with 2...
I recomment you guys put another camera to record your bracing, work/travel angle stuffs like that. Think thats more affective than just looking at the puddle. Anyway this is a cool walk thru 😎
Hey bro whats up,good welding nice contents about welding keep it up.im also a welder with gtaw,smaw,fcaw qualification more video tutorial pls to help new welder/beginners.keepsafe im from Philippines.
Simplemente un crack e videos de tu otros colegas pero bro eres. el mejor saludos desde chile reparando los baldes y tolvas mas imponentes del mundo jajajajaj
Basically every video I've seen is of welders pulling the puddle, but the way the gun is held differs. Some like this dude holds it so the wire is shooting the way he faces at maybe a 10/15 degree angle, but others hold it where the gun points at them at the sameb10/15 degree angle. And yet others hold it where it shoots towards them, but the angle is towards the bevel at yet againa 10/15 degreeangle. What I gather is that there isn't a clear way to hold the gun except for the angle and that it is done as it feels most comfortable. Accurate? Thanks in advance
I have been stuck on 4G for a month. It's the cap that's screwing me up. 1/2 plate... I only have till November and I need my stick certs.. lmfaooo I'm upset.
It would be cool if you guys could do a video with ceramic tiles. We use them all the time in the shipyard. Im sure you have shipyard down your way. Could help some people alot.
He’s running way to low on wire speed. My WPS (Welding Procedure Standard) says 260-350 on wire speed and 22-27 volts. We use backing strips per our code though.
I always like to watch this cat weld, he knows his stuff but in taking these kinds of tests nowadays company's don't allow you to "ossiculate" or move side to side. If they catch you going side to side they will bust you automatically because they simply told you not to do it &/or, your out of welding procedure. The reason that they got out of this welding method because if your inexperienced you'll tend to have undercut which will lead to lack of fusion unless you grind the edges of every pass & especially on the cap if not knowing what your doing you could leave a hairline of undercut where you didn't dwell enough before moving & leave undercut. A very good piece of advise is to run as hot as you can running stringer beads then before you cap the test wire brush it real good but lightly with a powered wire wheel to help cool it down then go take a water break, smoke break, etc. to let that plate cool down to a reasonable temperature so your stringer cap will look nice, slick & uniform. If you think your getting off track, stop! get yourself aligned again & if need be do as Abraham says & cut you a slight grove with a 4" grinder or at least take a straight edge & scribe your path with a soap stone. This is the "money making weld" do whatever you've got to do legally to make the test! Good Luck!
Thats for factory workers and best for rookies. I like the traditional fiber metal hoods. No flash and is a flipup grinding shield all in one. Plus if u drop your expensive autodark shield from 100 feet up you'll be pissed if it breaks. The sturdy traditional hoods wont even scratch lol
Root pass/first pass he’s using c25 mix which is argon and co2 Fill and cap pass he’s using dual shield flux which doesn’t use gas. The wire is coated with shielding that protects the molten metal.
@@MagicFixers all the passes he did used gas. They don't say what gases used though. The first process was a hard wire and the second was a gas shielded fluxcore. Could of been c25 for both or even straight co2. There are other gases however.
great videos! 👍👍 i’m struggling trying to get back into welding again. i had went to school for it. had a job welding. lays off came. had to take a couple labor jobs. i’m done with being a labor, so i’ve been trying to find a welding job. i’m structural btw, not much. i’m in the freeport area.

That’s awesome man. Where’d you test at
Me right now , I have to test out Wednesday… wish me luck guys 💪🏾‼️
@@jaycollins5380how’d it go bro

I’m on 4g now them ceramic
Great demo bro. Not over emphasizing it just straight to the point in a laid back way. Thanks for the humble knowledge
I always learn more with your easy way to do the welding.
Thank you, I haven't done overhead MIG in 7 years and I was struggling today with a test plate. All down to my root setting and trying to go left to right instead of back to front. Great refresher!
Loved the shot from the back side of the plate. Really smooth operator. Thank you for this video, man. Respect!
I just wanted to say thank you for putting this video out, it has help me out to the extreme in my welding class
Abraham always gets down and dirty with the knowledge. Thanks! Straight to the point.
This guy got me through 3g 4g smaw with his style 4g gmaw tonight thanks
Open root FCAW is a must for any ship building job test. Nice vid man. I wish I coulda found something like this when I started getting into marine welding
Great video. Thank you for the advice. Here they only allow grinding for correction of previous pass. So we use our soap stone for our cap guidelines.
I bombed the hell out of an overhead wire test years ago lol but I have more knowledge now in the field. My second 4g test ever will be this week, so practicing and watching this vid definitely pumps me up a bit more for this test. Thanks man!👌

@@hectorquiroz1483 haha no worries. Welding is something that takes a lot of time and skill and that thicker wire can be a hassle too

As a trade qualified Boilermaker here in Australia. I like your work and technique!!
I have to test 3g & 4g in a couple of weeks for omega, wish me luck.
Omega Morgan?
Did you ever get the job ?
Omega in sandiego????? A ship yard
Good luck…. Stuck on my 4g groove with backing right now

Good to know I’m not the only one that do guid lines great vid
I always watching for my better improvement in welding .
Thank you bro you made me a better welder on overhead!🔥🔥
Thanks for this video amazing tips I'm about to do this tests 3g 4g love all your vidoes.
Nice job bro!! That root was killer!
please tell me sir Which nozzle is used for overhead position MIG welding?
What helmet do you have on in this video ?
Good day, What is the model of the welding mask?
Since recently I started using guide-lines because it’s kinda hard for me to see with only one eye when I’m doing my cap
Como se van acomodando los cordones?
Do you have video for 2g butt joint FCAW with baking plate
3/8 plate
For the cover passes, when u pass the actual test u got to end it with 2 or 3 passes ? some people told me since the second layer has 2 u must end it with 3... but it seems more logical and easier to me to cover it with 2...
The wire speed is in inc?
Nice beads, and thank you 🤙🏾
how about your voltage n ampere in capping pass bro???pls tell me
can root welding be done with fcaw?
Did he mention what he was running his machine at for fluxcore?
Great video!
hi bro .what wire you useing 1/16 fux core or what?
Muy buenas soldaduras,usan mezcla de gases?
That nice fall off the bone slag on that 2g cap lmao
I recomment you guys put another camera to record your bracing, work/travel angle stuffs like that. Think thats more affective than just looking at the puddle. Anyway this is a cool walk thru 😎
This skill will be my next level
Great!👍
Wonderful welds
That seems really cold. What size wire is that?
Tendrás videos hablados en español?
What volts and wire speed you using?
What is bevel use?
man thank u so much this really helped me
Hey bro whats up,good welding nice contents about welding keep it up.im also a welder with gtaw,smaw,fcaw qualification more video tutorial pls to help new welder/beginners.keepsafe im from Philippines.
What wire are you using bro?
Rn I’m on my MIG course at welding school and I just can’t manage to get low weld caps. They always sag on me on overhead lmao
I have test for mig welding to Poland in this march last week
What's your gas settings
I'm in a welding trade school now. Thanks for the grinding line hack.
Very good bro

Tutorial welding 4G very good sir 👍👍🤝🇮🇩 my from indonesia

No mostró la abertura que se le debe dar a la probeta y tampoco el diámetro del talón que se debe utilizar para ese ejercicio

I agree
Thank you man.
Excelente,, buena técnica
Good job
I loved mig fcaw welding
It's sounds good 😊👍
Have you got a video showing a ‘T’ fillet weld using regular mig wire please, can you message the link?
Should have added overhead weld.
Great mate
Very good
Those same people drink bud lights on the weekends bro their confused 😅😂
Thank you
Quiero preguntar a todos esos proyectos de profesores de la soldadura porque no dicen él tipo de hilo que usan para soldar y el tipo de Flux
He’s running way to low on wire speed. My WPS (Welding Procedure Standard) says 260-350 on wire speed and 22-27 volts. We use backing strips per our code though.
C motion ???
I like it, for the experience, but I think it was prettier in 3 or 4 seams
I like your video bro 👍👍👍
Is the wire 0.35 or 0.45????
Thanks
I don’t know for sure but I’m guessing 0.35 for mig and 0.45 for the flux
MiG is the only one I had problems with cap
Taps on metal.
CZcams captions: [Music]
Pongan un buen camarógrafo y ala lente un cristal oscuro para podamos ver lo que están soldando.. ahí sólo se ve el destello
Whats the best lens shade for flux
I say 11 or 12 bud
Hey man ,what did you do?? you should not grind in a test before the end..,
I hope you make video for it

Hey man where do you guys get your hoods from??? I been looking all over and none like your guys hoods w the leather. Their bad ass
Root, filler capping.... I definitely miss welding.
Why do you guys not have automatic shading helmets?

@@thirtyydayzz you know nothing John Snow
You show the process but you did show end result !
Just took 3g and 4g I’m nervous
Nice 😎

D1.5 can't use grinder
Real certification don't let you use grinder my friend...just wire brush
