Today we will touch base on some key points to look out for when stick welding with 309 rods! It can get messy and a little difficult when you are first starting of so here is a little help.
I got thrown into stainless 3g at a new job I struggled hard in the morning and watched your video at break time I got commendable in the next few hours and weld crew example in days. Keep burning bro, you are a great welder and helped me personally. Love the message and what you do. IWL8
You are obviously an excellent welder. You are also an excellent instructor. Good work. Keep it up. (I’ve been welding and instructing for 55yrs so I recognize excellence when I see it.)
This man's tuitional skillls are exceptional, listen very carefully and you'll become a top-flight welder. I noted that this rod runs very similar to flux-core wire. Key point of welding is ; look after the sides and the centre takes care of itself.' In 99% of all instances😉
Eldinf stainless with these rods is a completely different cat to skin than welding on just carbon. It's a lot wetter, and a lot hotter. Great video and great information
Thanks for the info on starts. It's a little bit like how I strike a 7018 ver. Guess I was doing the 309 wrong, looking forward to trying this technique. For anybody that's practicing I had a few old timers tell me whip from side to side and count; one two three. Lays in super tight! (If you need a mental guide to go by.)
What kind of problems were u getting? Because I keep getting slag right down the middle ever 5th rod or so. I think I was weaving to wide but I still get the slag every once in a while
Those rods are expensive. Practice costs $$$, but once you get the hang of it, you will make some beautiful welds. I like this rod. It goes on smooth, sounds good and doesn't spit dingleberries. The end product looks like jewellery.
Thanks for the tips. I'm in a welding class for my job and having a damn hard time with this 309 stuff. Been at it hard for 3 days and I just can't get it to look decent
I have a carbon tube with some kind of coarse textured coating and a stainless flange so I hope this works out. I’ve tried some practice pieces, but now it’s go time. I’m goin in; wish me luck.
I always thought I had done something really wrong and I was being punished when I had to run 309 vertical. You did a fine job, looked as good as any I've seen and better than I've done myself. By the way, what did you do wrong? Good video!
I couldn't believe the slag balls that came off my first few attempts at 309 buddy, I bad balls of slag running down and upon knocking them off I was like, oh, its flat haha!
Nice one Hjalmar. I use 312l-16 rods a fair bit and those are a b*tch to run in position just like 309. Flat and horizontal no problem, but vertical up and overhead if you don't do it right you get a lot of slag incusions.
i gotta run this on a pipe test this week. not looking forward to it. never ran it and the pipe i gotta weld is massive. atleast i know it can be welded well. thanks for the vid
Taking a test next week on stainless. I've NEVER welded stainless, your vids helped me pass my last jobs test. I'm super nervous about it since I never did stainless and dont know the heat. All I know is I'm using 3/32 and 1/8 rods. Any advice is desperately needed. Test is on Tues of next week.
I have to weld some 304SS thats only about 2mm thick for a hobby project I'm working on... Ive never welded in my life 😅 Something tells me I should go practice with some 6013 and mild steel first after watching this. Should be interesting
Another great video. Watch out for that stainless slag buddy. It will ping off without warning and get you wherever you stand - usually on your lips! Ouch.
Stainless steel slags are different from mild steel slag. I was welding stainless once and the slag popped and hit my eye once, wasn't that serious, i had to wash it off with some water but definitely something to keep in mind of the next time i weld stainless. But then again always wear safety goggles when beating slag off.
@@JarrenW83 I couldn't agree more. Safety specs when chipping slag. In fact, at all times really. I'm not a safety Nazi,but a welder is not of much use if he/she can't see.
@@catabaticanabatic3800 you've never met a boiler maker then. I know 2 who can make the strongest prettiest welds I've ever seen without even being able to see the weld location.
@@catabaticanabatic3800 just to be clear, they aren't blind. They are just used to welding in tight places where you can't get your head to be able to see the weld location
I weld w/309 3/32 in trash plants and its the most difficult rod to burn. Ill get descent welds but there is these infamous wormholes that appear. I swear they lead to another wormhole in a plant across the country.
@@weldtube thanks for the tutorial on this hard ass stainless stick rod. dude I busted a test for Wyatt October of 2017 cuz of this f##@rod we welded our first set of plate test with 7018 then they said second set was with stainless stick .😑 this video was real helpful but can you do a video on this rod in the 4G position
Can you still get proper penetration with the zig zag method here? I passed my visual test the other day but failed penetration and one of my instructors told me it was due to the zig zag technique, so I was told to use the triangle shape to weld but it's just not clicking. Welding 308 on carbon steel
That rod is the insecure friend whos actually really beautiful... You just have to knock it up side the head a so you can get it to see the beauty thats underneath it all
I use 309 mig wire at my job now and nothing pisses me off more lol I can only imagine how annoying this is, but I kind of want to try it bc the end result looks😍😍
Where do you have the dig set? And are you E+ or E-? Your welds look great. I will be testing in the next couple of days for 3F and 4F carbo to carbon with 309L. Just looking for any pointers
The rod must get red hot like that due to the higher resistance/lower electrical conductivity of the rod itself? Great video, thanks a lot for making it.
We usually tig stainless pipe at our shop. But sometimes we stick weld but all of the experience welders tell me that doing stainless stick welding in the vertical position is a no-no. Only flat or horizontal. Is this true? Cause obviously you can do vertical based on this guy's welds

What code is on the electro 309?

Man this is so true. Wish someone laid it out that simple for me when I started out.
Stainless stick welding has taken me years to learn and it always surprises you. Seems like it's always a battle.
I once ran S.S.stick for 3 months! After that got on a 7018 job , your 7018 will look awesome
I know that Tig has it's place,,, but look at the colour of those puddles!!
The color is instantly gone once you hit it with a stainless wire brush.

You are a natural instructor. Great job.
A detailed description. Nice piece of work. Great.👍
I’ve ran this rod before and kept getting problems. Later realized all the complications with iit. This video further supports that. Good stuff here.
What kind of problems were u getting? Because I keep getting slag right down the middle ever 5th rod or so. I think I was weaving to wide but I still get the slag every once in a while
I love welding stainless stick, nice job

Dude I been trying to weld vertical with these rods for about a year. 5 min after this vid. Got it. Thanks.
I wish y'all had a 309 4F position t-joint. This was sick though bro. You make it look easy.
Man, that was hysterical, your voice when you were talking about how you don't like that rod 🤣
I love those colors!!! I need to get some of those electrodes... so curious now. Great video my friend 👌👍
this channel is the best welding I've been able to find on youtube
Very good information!
This guy is very professional!!
Thanks
309 is a mix-rod for welding stainless steel against carbon steel. Totally love it!
I’m in this damn rise bin right now working a shutdown trying to run these damn rods for the first time! Thanks bro these rods definitely lie to you
This rod welds like tig it’s so beautiful!
Coded welder here form Philippines.👍👍you weld fantastic man. Keep it up.
Definitely learned too much in this. Have to watch again because it’s such a different beast. I love learning about welding though!
Thank you man, I really appreciate your instructions, please keep it up.
Thanks for the tips. I'm in a welding class for my job and having a damn hard time with this 309 stuff. Been at it hard for 3 days and I just can't get it to look decent
I need to get this ged so I can start working man!! Love from Corpus Christi, tx!
You'll get there, I think about getting there myself every time I go to welding school myself and put on that hood
Kaka, wewe ni fundi sana. Nashukuru sana kwa maelekezo yako yanayonijenga kila siku na hakika nimejifunza mengi sana
Them colors are beautiful
Good workmanship! As you said gotta use it ,to weld to carbon steel to stainless.
this came just in time. Literally doing my first 309s on site tomorrow!
In stainless school now for multipass stainless. Thanks for the help
I have a carbon tube with some kind of coarse textured coating and a stainless flange so I hope this works out. I’ve tried some practice pieces, but now it’s go time. I’m goin in; wish me luck.
Thanks, I have a test with that type of rod coming up soon.
Very interesting. This is the first time I've seen this rod used. Thank you for sharing this with us. Dan
weld color looks nice
I always lear something new from you bro thanks for share all this with us
I never knew how to tie in with a 309 thanks for the video
Fantastic job. Well done!!
Very awesome of you to make video! GBYAY!!! Thanks so much. Where's Bob?
Man you're real slick at it🤙🏾
I use to do a lot of that 309 to get the slag off I used the wire wheel a lot turned out real nice
Greetings from Colombia
they upload very good videos I congratulate them
Youre video is very helpful for technikal students..... Love from india and thank u
I've found sticking the rod and letting the amps flow thru it a couple seconds, snapping it free and lighting my arc help prevent porosity in my beads
you are the best welder.
I always thought I had done something really wrong and I was being punished when I had to run 309 vertical. You did a fine job, looked as good as any I've seen and better than I've done myself. By the way, what did you do wrong?

I tried 309 and its true its very hard to use tnx sir Dan for the tips
Please makes videos on how to weld with 1N12 and 9N10 rods
Another tip for anyone looking for it. Weld it on straight polarity (same as tig)
It makes you see the puddle a little better 👍🏽
6013 welds best on straight polarity just like 309
This guy can weld!!!
Love the song yup, yup, yup,yup,yup,yup ...
I have stick welded 1mm 304 with 316 rods. Made a table about 13 years ago. Still got the table.
Taking a test next week on stainless. I've NEVER welded stainless, your vids helped me pass my last jobs test. I'm super nervous about it since I never did stainless and dont know the heat. All I know is I'm using 3/32 and 1/8 rods. Any advice is desperately needed. Test is on Tues of next week.
Looks good brother but a weave is way easier to keep flat than a pipe stringer... I’m hoping you’ll be moving onto stringers in the near future
Very informative!💪🏼👨🏻🏭
Whao....thanks for the tips!!!!
Thanks for videos
Must be sweet being able to weld two things at once
??
That instrumental is fire.
Good job sar ❤
Some great info... thanks so much...... your doing a great job!!!!!! Paul
If i lived closer i would definitely go to this school

wish I was instructed by this Papi 😍
I love welding
I did a job with 309 rod. Welding 1/2 steel to stainless steel hand rails and also the ladder to the plot form all was check by a cwi

@@johnpike9612 No. I must admit that in all my 45 years in engineering, I've never met a welder who couldn't see. Fair play to them.

Please do the pipe test! That rod has been kicking my ass for years on the monster coupon!
I agree please do a video on the monster. Tig root and hot pass, 309 fill and cap in the 6g.. having a hard time with this test

Do stainless. Pipe stick welding

I got me some 309 rods so I can use in welding class. And we have both stainless and carbon steel...
I just had to run 309L on some flanges today man I don't like 309L very difficult rod but love the challenge 🤙🏿
Very professional!
Let it cool way down in between welds is crucial and run it as cool as you can handle going uphill.
Very nice
So glad you did some 309 I as well dislike this rod very much so help full could u do black to stainless as well
thank you sooooooooo much very big like for you
Wow that was awesome man 👍🏽, I would love to try that rod. Gonna ask my teacher haha
309 is nicest rod I ever used. So smooth arc. Plenty chromium and nickel. I can't wait for my lung cancer to pop out.
Look Northern sweden welding. They weld 2mm wall pipe with remote. I do same also 6g and its x-ray quality
That rod is the insecure friend whos actually really beautiful... You just have to knock it up side the head a so you can get it to see the beauty thats underneath it all
Very smart choice of words
Couldn't agree more lol
U uh simp!
nice and greets from linares Chile
I use 309 mig wire at my job now and nothing pisses me off more lol I can only imagine how annoying this is, but I kind of want to try it bc the end result looks😍😍
wow man, great video, great channel, helped me a ton today! subbed!
Where do you have the dig set? And are you E+ or E-? Your welds look great. I will be testing in the next couple of days for 3F and 4F carbo to carbon with 309L. Just looking for any pointers
Great video, not much out there on 309 that is informative.
When can we see 309 in the overhead position?
75amp, soften arc force on machine and burn only 1/2 the rod. Seems to be a waste but less issues.
Very helpful video
The rod must get red hot like that due to the higher resistance/lower electrical conductivity of the rod itself? Great video, thanks a lot for making it.
