Great video, I would personally run the roots hotter at 120amp with a 7018 1/8 rod. Gotta remember that plate is cool to the touch before you’re first root pass so it can handle more heat. You do have to watch you’re travel speed a bit more and adjust if needed but those hot roots are a huge part of getting good fusion. I’d also mention to have that rod straight to the plate with maybe a 5 degree push at most. I see a lot of welders on there tutorials pushing uphill and it’s not a good technique to keep doing, especially if you’re running colder. Great video
Looks good man! Only difference for the tests I’ve done is the inspector doesn’t let our roots touch, we out put the roots in and than have to do a hot pass down the middle to join the two roots and backing plate together.
Hey Redbeard, great job explaining what's going on while welding uphill I've been certified for structure for seven years, and I learned something and I definitely understood your explanation of gouge and fill. Great job.
Excellent instructional process. I had weld training in college (3 classes) I taught basic welding in a high school setting. Later, I received production weld trng at Caterpillar, most prod jobs were positioned in flat or horizontal. The last formal training was also via CAT and trained for maintenance welding(all positions). I love to weld but don't get much practice in retirement. LOL.
Jason I know you were an iron worker but you should do a video of you trying to stick weld pipe! It’d be a great learning tool for green hands and it’d give you something new to try!
Basically the exact way I was taught in school other than running the 90 long. Good pointer on restarts after the root. If you are running out of rod on a fill/cap try to stop in the middle of one of the outer coupons to keep it away from the face bend.
I've most certainly weaved the cap on my test. But this was years ago, and I just do the check test now, so maybe somethings changed. I think its up to the inspector honestly
Thank you for making this video I will be watching it another few times just to learn your hand/ wrist technique. Lots of information. Extremely useful for learning. Thank you again. .
Where I'm from, our inspectors tell us to run the 90 side long and do the stop start near the top of the plate and the bevel side do the start and stop near the bottom of the plate. Either way is correct, as long as your stop starts are in the root bends of the coupons doesnt matter. But I find running the 90 side long give you more heat in the plate for a better stop start.
really great welding buddy , im having so much trouble trying to learn how to weld vertical beads , but will definety apply your techniques to my backyard training , when the weather gets warmer. God bless keep making awesome vids bro!!🤘🤘💪💪
When I learned to weld (a very long time ago) I mean to remember that we learned to put the last stringer in the middle. I think the reasoning had to do with the crystal structure in the heat affected zone. Is this right?
I mig weld aluminum boats. I used to go to school for steel welding and loved it. Once I got into aluminum and learned how to actually weld it right, I fell in love with it. It's easy, fun, satisfying, fast, and clean. If you mess up your weld, grab a gouger and in 5 seconds, youre ready to weld again. The stick welding arc AND welds looks like garbage compared to aluminum done right. Nobody on youtube can weld aluminum decently. A perfect aluminum weld looks so beautiful. I like how fast aluminum is because I'm really tiny so I get shoved into holes and awkward areas that are hard to get. Some positions you have to use all of your energy to hold yourself up and to stay steady. If I was welding steel like that, I'd be sitting in that uncomfortable position for twice if not 3 times as long. With steel, if you messed up your weld, you would have to get a huge grinder and grinding disc and slowly grind that shit away. Dust and sparks suck. An aluminum gouger takes huge chips so you can shake them off, unlike dust. Plus gouging is probably 20 times faster and easier, literally. I'm not shitting on steel welders, in fact I respect them. If anything I'm too big of a baby to do steel lol
Hello.. while doing thr CWB, A thing I see you not doing in your video (I know grinding/removing the back plate is not fun). I would like to see how you are doing this step (that is crucial in my opnio ).. grinding angles.. and which way to grind "with the grain".. and to prevent "dishing". Thank you for your time.
I use 3 passes in this root. It gives you more control and less need for manipulating the pool. Its easier to avoid roll back or grapes occuring. Again, the included faults combined must be less than 1/8 or 3.2 mm not each flaw itself. Also, all of these tests allow you a 15 degree tilt to your workpieces which can also help you with slag rolling back. Especially in this postition. The undercut would be questionable, If it passes visual by 1/32 of undercut you may have passed, you may not have. its at the examiner. If you see a small level of undercut on your cap, place another pass over it after letting some of the heat cool down. Most people are rushing to smoke this thing out. Roots, fills LET IT COOL and cap it.
Agreed. When i went too college for a weld and fab course, we were taught too always run a 3 pass root, 1st past on the 90, second on the bevel, and third in the middle
Should be able to bust it out quicker by dropping amps. He's going to fast for what I'd do. Alot of flicker in his arc, which isn't the end of the world. Should be able to control his deposition rate speed with hotter for both FC an SM, Ann just keep dropping down from welds that are only just two inches wide really. If bender just go hotter than you like get comfortable an drop them in as hot as possible with enough deposited.
@@carolshawol6699 typically testing/certification is meant to be stringent. If the welder is properly trained he/she should be be able to execute acceptable welds in all conditions.
@@carolshawol6699 thats the point. In Canada we have those tests, but it only clears you to weld bevels. This test has a 90 and a bevel and clears you to weld both. It makes sense. If you cant weld a 90 on a plate, you cant weld a 90 in the field. Makes no sense to do a test that you'll never see in the field, in my opinion
Yes they are as well are C.W.B. welding inspector certification are recognized by A.W.S. but A.W.S wielding inspectors certification is not recognized by C.W.B. ...that might have changed by now ?
I’m re testing after being expired for a while this week. One thing I’d point out is that most inspectors will make you run your long bead on the 90 then your short on the bevel THEN you go back and finish both beads. 90 side first. Also way to go pointing out about how to not chase out undercut. The cwb guy who’s gonna look at my plate will definitely pull out the $1000 digital callipers if he thinks I tried to chase anything out. You are allowed to remove 5% the thickness of your base material. Anything past that is an automatic fail.
Whenever I do this test the inspector gets me to do the long stop on the square side and the short stop on the groove side. That way he can check both stops at once and then I do both restarts and he checks them then I can fill and cap. I also find that the fillet side fills up quicker than the groove side if you do the root in 2 passes. But if you do it in 3 passes you don’t have to do an extra fill pass on the groove side and your root will never break on the bend
Jason how are you removing the backing bar? Milling, grinding or air arc and grind? Perhaps you could explain specimen preparation in a future episode if you have not do so previously.
One of the best ways to learn is using an arc gouger and it takes a few seconds, just find the line and “chase” it out without gouging into your 3/8” test plate, my instructor got us learning to gouge backing strips with 3/8” rods, another way is washing it off with a torch, these ways have more of a chance to fuck up but they are common in industry and are great skills too learn.
Question? Are you adjusting your machine as you're welding? Or you leaving it at the same amperage and just allowing your plate to cool off? Personally I adjust my machine down every couple passes. I'd start around 118-120 amps and probably cap around 105(these numbers I use for vertical only). The only cool down I give it really the time it takes me to turn the machine down. With stainless I do allow cool down time, but regular mild steel its more of a get in, weld, go home. The faster I can go home.the better.( at least for me anyway).
Im gonna be taking a certification test at school on Thursday and I chose vertical as my cert because itll look pretty good on my resume, only thing is i have trouble getting my vertical welds nice and flat, they always have peaks and droops as I call them, or theyre wavy, which i know is inconsistent travel speed. What could i be doing wrong as far as droops and peaks though? Also, what oscillation pattern if any do you recommend to get a nice looking vertical bead?
Not only did I fail a GMAW bend test (2/3 was good)... I just got really grumpy and even kicked the Linconln once and I just dropped out. It it worth it for me to get back into welding the heat and the sweat?
Hey can you guys do a video of cwb re-test after you have all four positions all you need to do is a half vertical half overhead plate to be re-certified
Just wondering what the work angles are for multi pass? I know for single beads you want to go straight in but like you were saying you want to angle it into the rock. Do you want to use a different angle for the other beads as well on the multi pass layers?
I have questions I would like if you answer with honesty. Well I’m trying to get a multi process welding machine. Out of the machine that you have use which are rebel, miller, and everlasting which one do you recommend me to get to practice and also that can get work done.
my last weld inspector would of kicked me in the nuts after be recovered from a heart attack on that face bend!!! he almost failed one of my coupons for having 1/8 defect!
Why haven't i seen a weld test demonstration with the non dominant hand???? In my experience on the job I have to use my non dominant hand about 25 percent of the time or making a weld that you can barely see with one eye or making a weld holding the stinger in a very unorthodox way or hanging over the side of a structure making a vertical weld looking at it 2 foot from above. That's just a few things new welders will see in a real world situation. A weld test is the easy part when you get out in the field you will be expected to make welds that look impossible.
I always did my root with stringers, you can lay perfect stringers all day, no need to quicken the job by weaving the whole thing, it’s just more slag if you do.
Run off and run on tabs are used commonly in the welding industry, they allow for complete penetration throughout the metals that are desired to be joined, for example in bridge building the weld needs to be 100% no defects so they use the run on tabs to allow the puddle to get hot enough before actually welding the joint, then the run off tabs are used for defects usually found at the end of the weld joint, like craters or under fill and undercut.
Im gonna ask about the pre bend marks an if it's official that it's NEW marks, yet someone else bends ours. Dude got busted grinding his coupon down. Fail.
To any people here who have welded professionally both here and in Canada, and have taken tests from both countries, do you believe that either test is superior to the other, or is it a wash? Obviously the welding authorities in both countries have developed these tests the way they did because they believe they tell them what they need to know about the person’s welding under test.
According to W47.1-09, the sum of the greatest dimension of all discontinuities exceeding 1/32 but less than or equal to 1/8" shall not exceed 3/8". Pg. 21, 9.11.1 Bend test clause of CSA W47.1-09.
Little help from experienced welders please. I’m new to welding and I’m trying to mig weld rebar to leaf spring steel to forge but, I can’t get the weld to stick to the leaf spring. I’ve cleaned both pieces but still won’t stick, any ideas? Edit: No one willing to help a beginner welder huh.
leafs are spring steel normal wire feed wont stick very well at all, either crank the welder up hot hot or preheat it otherwise a hot stick welding pass is probably youre next decent option...
No need to troll you for the undercut. I have seen many people fail from grinding too much. Inspector says it's good just leave it. Grind the plate down and leave it 3/8" thick. No need to chase the lines. Like I said I have seen many people fail because the try to make the undercut disappear. Then the inspector says, well this isn't 3/8" anymore and throws your coupon away.
Some people try and fly through the test to quick, they would start grinding the face side first instead of the root, even though they are root coupons and the face side isn’t even being bent, then they grind the shit out of their root chasing a line or something and it’s on a coupon that that is a face bend. Which only reduces the tolerances of the test.
few weeks before I take the CWB vertical & horizontal test. This video helps more than all of two semesters in college.

This helped alot thank you for commenting it, really took out some of the convexity i was trying to get rid of for my stringers
I roast em in at 120-125amps
running that hot vert can cause the weld pool to drip alot
Whats your arc force on your root pass? they fail you if you have under cut not all welding machines run the same
Love the play by play it puts the viewer right in the shop with you. Keep up the great work Professor⭐️⭐️⭐️
Looks good man! Only difference for the tests I’ve done is the inspector doesn’t let our roots touch, we out put the roots in and than have to do a hot pass down the middle to join the two roots and backing plate together.

In the U.S. we say, if you be weavin, you be leavin
Here in BC my instructor will not let us weave this stringers only he said most inspectors require it
Weave it wide and wish it well
thats not even allowed on the CWB test lol
I've most certainly weaved the cap on my test. But this was years ago, and I just do the check test now, so maybe somethings changed. I think its up to the inspector honestly

Hello,
Your all welding video are really terrific, thank you very much
Hey can you guys do a video of cwb re-test after you have all four positions all you need to do is a half vertical half overhead plate to be re-certified
Good welding thanks for sharing your knowledge
Exactly why I always weld uphill in practice and at work if you can master uphill everything else is easy.
I center punch the backing plate where I do the start stops. Easy to see.
Great weld and I appreciate the videos. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Great job, I prefer stringers the way did them. This is better than weaving.
Hmm. I had the same inclusions with the under cut and that failed it. They were more than 1/8 long. Both of ours

Nice welds, why didnt you weave after your root passes?
Hey man! Cool video, why didn't you use a strong back?
Do you clean after each pass? Or does the weld "clean" and eat through the slag?
Sounds fun good way to make sure you know how to tie in correctly.
Good video red I'd like to see some more pipe welding videos 6 inch schedule 40 stick all the way out
“Over compensate” with the tie in. Tie in lower than you think you need to go because generally speaking one usually ties in higher than need be

Can you make a video 3 pasa root on a vertical test
You should do a check test plate after you do a overhead one
I was always told to never weave on the root. Funny how you do it and get away with it. I want to try this way because it seems more natural to me.
I always did my root with stringers, you can lay perfect stringers all day, no need to quicken the job by weaving the whole thing, it’s just more slag if you do.
Not to mention the heat input does weaken it
That doesn’t count as a weave what he was doing it’s still a stringer
@@jackpeck2494 anything over 2x your rod diameter is a weave, so that's a weave
Matt Perry oh really did you measure the fucking weld i’m willing to bet you didn’t
Are Runoff tabs used when fabricating or just when practicing?
Run off and run on tabs are used commonly in the welding industry, they allow for complete penetration throughout the metals that are desired to be joined, for example in bridge building the weld needs to be 100% no defects so they use the run on tabs to allow the puddle to get hot enough before actually welding the joint, then the run off tabs are used for defects usually found at the end of the weld joint, like craters or under fill and undercut.
I start my test the same way but weave it out after the root is in i really don't like stringers in vertical my self.
Those are big stringers.
Im gonna ask about the pre bend marks an if it's official that it's NEW marks, yet someone else bends ours.

ALL THAT MATTERS IS THAT YOU GET GOOD PENETRATION IN THE ROOT OF THE FILLET!!!! if you are a good welder the rest is easy.

What would a welder able to make these welds expect to earn in the industry?
If you have your all position wire and stick tickets with the CWB. You can probably find a job easy and make good money. At least on the coast of BC.
Always stringers are better less chance of slag inclusions.
Great weld.
"I can admit when I'm wrong. Its not wrong though"
Could you run downhill on this test?
No because it’s done with a low-hydrogen E7018 and they are not recommended for downhill welding.
Jason Becker ohhh okay
no
Gracias por su valiosa información soy Instructor de construcciones soldadas.
What brand of 7018 are you using?
I think si 3/32
What's a good way to not get arc blo?
Keep a tight and consistent arc length.
I'm interested in how you remove the backing strip. Have you shown that in another one of your videos?
We covered it in this video th-cam.com/video/Bz0-I2kLd0U/w-d-xo.html
@@jasonbecker3362 thanks Jason
At my school we scarf the backing plate off with an oxy torch

To any people here who have welded professionally both here and in Canada, and have taken tests from both countries, do you believe that either test is superior to the other, or is it a wash? Obviously the welding authorities in both countries have developed these tests the way they did because they believe they tell them what they need to know about the person’s welding under test.
the fillet weld on the root for CWB is harder to pass on the tie end compare to the bevel side..
@@fernandotime I don’t know if that means it better.
I thought it was a 1/8" combined?
According to W47.1-09, the sum of the greatest dimension of all discontinuities exceeding 1/32 but less than or equal to 1/8" shall not exceed 3/8". Pg. 21, 9.11.1 Bend test clause of CSA W47.1-09.
@@jesshull9169 cool thanks for letting me know!
I noticed that the process made a double bevel after the first pass
Little help from experienced welders please. I’m new to welding and I’m trying to mig weld rebar to leaf spring steel to forge but, I can’t get the weld to stick to the leaf spring. I’ve cleaned both pieces but still won’t stick, any ideas?
Edit: No one willing to help a beginner welder huh.
Ditch the mig and use stick, preferably lowHy
Sure, you buying?
leafs are spring steel normal wire feed wont stick very well at all, either crank the welder up hot hot or preheat it otherwise a hot stick welding pass is probably youre next decent option...
Contact a electrode manufacturer and ask them what what to use .
No need to troll you for the undercut. I have seen many people fail from grinding too much. Inspector says it's good just leave it. Grind the plate down and leave it 3/8" thick. No need to chase the lines. Like I said I have seen many people fail because the try to make the undercut disappear. Then the inspector says, well this isn't 3/8" anymore and throws your coupon away.
Exactly, I figured I’d throw out the disclaimer for those who don’t understand but still comment anyway 😂
Seen a guy grind his coupon down to 1/4 thick chasing inclusions.
quadtracker85 damn, that’s a bit much. Lol
Some people try and fly through the test to quick, they would start grinding the face side first instead of the root, even though they are root coupons and the face side isn’t even being bent, then they grind the shit out of their root chasing a line or something and it’s on a coupon that that is a face bend. Which only reduces the tolerances of the test.
