    In this episode we are going over some of the common mistakes made in flux core welding overhead with gas. Many people don't believe this is a process that can be done, but let us assure you...It can be and is every day in structural welding.

    I've said over and over and over to every person I've taught to weld..... Get Comfortable! Use anything at all to find that comfort and do that 'Dry Run' to make sure that comfort is there from start to finish. And as well, exactly what was said here about keeping those angles consistent. Great videos. I'm really into them and even had a dream last night on welding a manhole on a big leach tank on a gold mine. What a sad narrow life I live eh? :)

  • @weldingdata
    @weldingdata Před 5 lety +1

    Just wanted to throw this in there about the "piping porosity". Piping porosity as defined by D1.1, for example, is a pore that extends down into the weld metal for a distance greater than the diameter. You will sometimes find this type of porosity at the end of the "worm tracks" but the "tracks" by themselves are not addressed by D1.1. A great video.

    Flux core runs nice
    I work at a quarry so some of the seam repairs on buckets and beds have dirt built up behind the seam which makes it tricky to weld.
    Things are going smooth until a dirt pocket deep in the seam blows the weld out.
    I do repairs on cracked weld seams and worn down seams.
    Big buckets like 10-12 ft wide and 6-7 ft tall or so

    In the late 70s-early 80s, when I worked for Chromalloy GulfCo and Fish Engineering, we used the Lincoln Innershield machines with nickel alloy Fluxcore wire and no gas. We built jackup oil rigs in dry dock for several different drilling companies. Flat, vertical and overhead were required for certification with x-ray and bend testing. We couldn't use gas because of the wind on the gulf coast and I've wondered if gas would have been much help. Apparently it is in the shop. Thanks for the informative video.

    I spent a moon or two running .045 flux core overhead on structural, but I think it was straight CO2. Bossman wanted us to weld over 1/8" + thick paint. While he was grinding, chipping, and re-welding - we were moving on to the next piece because we used wire wheels. But of course that was just a "waste of time" and "making a mess" :D

    I got another fluxcore request. Here in Southern California Lincoln NR232 0.072" is the standard for wire welding structural steel in the field. There isn't much on youtube for it, so it would be awesome if you made some videos on doing a 3G test coupon and some multipass fillets.

    • @theaverageamerican2081
      @theaverageamerican2081 Před 5 lety +4

      I would also be interested to see that, E71T-8 wires have a reputation as being more difficult to run, but being a self shielded flux core wire with ductility and CVN values equal to a 7018H4, it is a very attractive option especially in seismic areas.

    • @robroy5729
      @robroy5729 Před 5 lety

      Not sure why theres even videos on .045 dual shield flux core. I'm no weld professor although i feel as if its one of the easiest mig processes available. I've left the same comment/question you have here on many of the videos here. My current job requires 1/6" wire, not much of a difference than what youre running.

    @colmoneill9440 Před 5 lety

    I watching these videos to pick up some pointers, looking to go from pipe fitting into welding, looks to me like rather than moving his body, he is twisting the shoulders resulting in a change of angle with the gun, the beads seem to go from wide to thin then back to wide as a result, this would result in a very rough toe line if it was stick welding?

    Great instruction Bob. I love Fluxcore. It is 65 % of my welding days mixed in with Aluminum MIG and Aluminum TIG and Stainless Fluxcore and Stainless TIG. It's funny though...I am right handed-but I DON'T weld from left to right. The guys at work laugh at me, can't figure it out how I weld backwards. And yes you have to drag Fluxcore. They blame it on me being a woman. Oh well. Please keep the videos coming!!!

    • @big_ute
      @big_ute Před 10 měsíci

      Im the same, i push from right to left, only reason I push the .045 is that it provides more preheat, lights up the path im welding and offers more penetration than drag. Thats just me.

We have been running ours at 24v and around 350 wire speed I'm cutting about to do my AWS 1" Grove with having 1/4 Gap 35 degree bevel... Struggling ☹️ I'm older so eyesight is an issue in working on. I kept blowing through the backing plate as I changed angle half way through and went slower. Recently was shown how to hold whip upside down which greatly helped. I'm curious to try your settings and see if that helps. I try not to change wire speed from various positions as you can changed it basically by house closed or short your wire is ... Closer should mean faster contact.... Great video.... I'll be watching more.

    looks to me like... if he stood to the right, in front of the weld, his gun angle would improve. The way he is standing now, he has to reach to finish the weld. Reaching to finish a weld almost always changes the gun angle. But, even so, it turned out pretty good.
