The reason no weldors talk about this kind of weld is because you’re doing what’s called tack welding, which most weldors don’t do. Most weldors would do a continuous weld on each side instead of a tack welding because it will last longer and will be stronger.
Why not just learn how to run a bead. Or if you insist on tacking it clean the slag off after each tack. With this process the weld is full of slag inclusions and is basically like Swiss cheese.
I was thinking the same thing and I've only done sick welding once. I've done a lot of MIG but I still know that there would be too much crap if you stick weld like that.

He’s running 6013 which has similar characteristics as 6010 which both run hit so the the material he’s using is pretty thin, so most likely to burn through. What he can do is lower the amperage and go at a faster pace to successfully run a bead

@@Blue1Sapphire depends. If it’s only stick we are talking about, I personally would run 1/8in 7018 rod, dc+, 70amps. And tac all 4 corners, run a consistent bead wrapping all 4 corners.
Because tack welding is a weak weld is why they don't talk about it. "Tack" welding when put under stress will break. There is little to no penetration, and you'd be fired on the spot for this rookie welders do not do this.
ah yes... the long lost secret of how to guarantee a slag inclusion in your weld joint. to be honest I think you're trying to show that welding something in sections can keep it from overheating, but even then, to do so properly, you'd weld a stitch, clean it, and then do a proper tie in with your next stitch
1) You’d be better off TIG welding that thin metal because the TIG process allows you to be far more precise with the amount and rate of heat and filler metal that you add to your weld. Too much heat and you piece warps or you burn through. Too much filler metal and it excessively builds up on either side of the bead which just increases the time you have to spend cleaning it up with the grinder. 2) Tac welding is temporary and only meant to hold something together long enough to properly weld it
He/she is showing a good technique for welding thin material. A continuous bead would end up dropping a dime sized hole. Nothing wrong with this technique. Alberta Journeyman 'B' pressure welder. CWB certified since 1999.
Pls tell me this is only a demo to start on thin metal, to run a bead on this type of metal your amps, speed and angel must compliment each other to avoid burning holes or overheat the metal and disforrm the end product strength. Remember each welder has hir/ her own style to perfect their trade
Apparently no one here has had to weld very thin metal with a stick. Trying to run a bead on thin wall tubing is very difficult and quite often burns through causing internal sags. Tack welding thin metal produces cleaner, stronger welds. Been doing it for forty years.
I'd like to see how much penetration is on the back side of the weld. Why not just use correct amperage and run a bead forhand rather than back hand that way it won't burn thru
No one talks about it because you aren’t welding it. You just tacked it over and over and didn’t clean each pass. Shits going to be full of slag and is way weaker than a normal weld.
Because welders (professionals) often need their welds to be airtight. When welding pipe, reservoirs, steel tube that obviously won’t be painted inside, etc. it is important for your weld not to be permeable to fluids. The successive tacks you just made have inconsistent penetration throughout the bead and a tiny amount of porosity or wrong spacing will make your weld structurally weak and permeable.
They are doing the weird tap thing because stick welders require a lot of current to work. And from my experience if you try to weld at less than 125 amps with that size rod you will have a bad time. But if you make the arc too long for tubing that thin it will melt through. It's why i like tig welding. My lincoln tig 200 can tig weld great all the way down to 40 amps and you can adjust the current so you don't turn your part to a puddle

I'll normally just tap the floor im working on to break off some of that coating...

(In between welds = switching sides) Also, about 50% of the time, my welds end up only on one side. Behind the mask, while I'm welding It Looks like the rod is melting on both parts, but afterwards a more closer inspection reveals that there is no contact point (weld) to one side.

That there looks like Mexican Trailer factory welding to me, do the other 3 sides, itll hold for at least 15 years, which will prolly be the life of the product anyway lol
When u tack, a little air bubble is left behind in the center of the tack. A tack weld is meant to temporarily hold pieces together before u weld it all the way out. All the air bubbles u left all the way down the weld is basically a connect the dots for a crack that will eventually form.
If you do this you are Welding on top of slag, which makes the weld more brittle, so it's actually just counter productive to do it right the best option to do is to decrease the voltage or amperage depending on the type of welding you are doing and then running a straight bead

When the current is adjusted to 90-100, continuous arc welding can be carried out. Compared with starting point welding, continuous arc welding has a stronger and more beautiful weld formation.
>Be me >Watch video >Be unsure as to whether the weld is good or not >Come to comments to find out whether thr weld is good or not >Have to scroll for 5 solid minutes to find an actual explanation that this is a hella good weld >Video loops that entire time
Welder's DO talk about it... about how bad it is. That's a good way to get porosity. We talk about the many welding processes that are possible for particular applications, the pros and cons, and we decide which process is best. This one shown is not something that a professional welder would choose for such thin material.
Chill out welding scientists, when i was learning how to weld this tack welding was an absolute life saver to get me started a little bit each time till i could run a bead. And i still do tacking if the piece is decorative or doesn't bear any life supporting load. If you have an old welder around and need to weld a patch pipe on your fence post it's the perfect way to fix it without become a scientist like those welders think they are and suggest a random guy run a bead on an 1.5mm tube. However if you have even the cheapest inverter welder, when i went thinner to exercise i managed to run a bead across two pieces of 0.6mm sheet metal with an 1.6mm 6013, it's not hard if you learn to go faster than you feel it needs, it doesn't blow holes it just wraps. The average joe who would consult to this video to fix his garden door doesn't care about running beads or being an arc welding professional you duffies.
So each time he does another spot he's laying it down on top of the slag layer from the previous spot, right? And so it doesn't bond where it overlaps?
@@garethmccullough390 not with the 6013. If I remember correctly the 6013 stays a little wet and will drop through the gap. But I would gap and root it with 6010 the cap with 7018 lo hi.
Yes, but some rods work well on material with a primer or galv on it, 6010, 6011 and 6013. I prefer 6010. And qlwith wire, coreshield if fine also being a gasless fcaw.
@@ML-ks2ljyoud run two passes on a 1/8 tubing how useless is that 😂 here a trick. Take a 3/32 7018 rod and run a bead the heat alone will almost melt straight through.
This is not how you stick weld you need the arc Pool at its highest amps so on off on off isn’t giving you constant arc flow power you need , a cosmetic weld don’t mean there is enough penetration or arc pool
Hi, I would like to get my existing Incline/Decline bench welding done with some minor adjustments.. So can you guide me, which type of welding is heavy duty.. In Google it shows TIG welding
This is the equivalent of dip your toes to check if the waters too cold. Just jump right into it, and you’ll f*ckin’ adjust to it so you wont have to worry about your stick tap dancing. 😃
There are a bunch of comments here criticizing this example of welding 14 ga square tube - I doubt they weld this type of metal on a daily basis. There is such a fine line here between getting a good bead or a worm hole, penetration doesn't even enter the conversation. I weld this stuff every day and never run a straight bead, because first off the thickness of 14 ga tube is often inconsistent and will be 16 ga on a side. Therefore, it's not worth the effort to attempt to run a straight bead because if you get a worm hole it takes much more time filling it! 😮 I normally would do 3 long stitches on a side of 1 1/2 tube, but the technique shown works well also 👍
By stopping the welding process you're not heating up the metal properly to create a strong bond. You should leave a 1mm gap between the two work pieces and use a waving motion between the two. Yes it's a skill.
This is only tack welding or also know as cold welding . It is ok if your welding thin metal and in most cases it is the only way you can weld thin stuff . He did draw where he is going to put each weld .
This is called clever editing, used on a video of someone tack welding. Not only is it tack welding but it's also got the touch of a paid editor. 🫵😊🙏Thank you. Thank you.
@@migstickwelder1992 I suppose I wouldn't trade it for any other "known" time in history. The style isn't recommended but it makes for entertaining videos lol
Well that is a way to do it if you have to use a too big electrode. I would prefer to go over to a smaller more siuted electrode for the heat input, or change method to MAG or TIG. That way you dont push the slag into the weld.
Great example of low pentration junk welds. If you gotta stick weld gauge tubing tack in a backer plate and burn it in hot. 6013 is kinda a trash rod but it won't gouge the steel as bad as 6010 or 6011

I want them to last especially as I'm going to be strapping a 254mm saw blades and motor to this metal. I need to know it's gonna be safe long term. Thanks for the reply my friend. Very much appreciated
для качественного и крепкого шва должен быть зазор хотя бы 0,5 мм для тонкого металла
Нафига для такого тонкого металла зазор, корень шва все равно будет, металл то тонкий.
Что это за електрод???
Hola yo comencé hace poco con esto de la soldadura, osea como sería lo que decís?🤔 Por favor explícame mejor!!!
Man just tryna get the most out he can out of his rods😂
😂 you actually got your mum to mark out circles beside where each tack should go
When the current is adjusted to 90-100, continuous arc welding can be carried out. Compared with starting point welding, continuous arc welding has a stronger and more beautiful weld formation.

😂I didn’t catch we welders don’t talk about , but actions speak louder than words
Not a secret, and not the best weld....
Welder's DO talk about it... about how bad it is. That's a good way to get porosity. We talk about the many welding processes that are possible for particular applications, the pros and cons, and we decide which process is best. This one shown is not something that a professional welder would choose for such thin material.
Chill out welding scientists, when i was learning how to weld this tack welding was an absolute life saver to get me started a little bit each time till i could run a bead. And i still do tacking if the piece is decorative or doesn't bear any life supporting load.
If you have an old welder around and need to weld a patch pipe on your fence post it's the perfect way to fix it without become a scientist like those welders think they are and suggest a random guy run a bead on an 1.5mm tube.
However if you have even the cheapest inverter welder, when i went thinner to exercise i managed to run a bead across two pieces of 0.6mm sheet metal with an 1.6mm 6013, it's not hard if you learn to go faster than you feel it needs, it doesn't blow holes it just wraps.
The average joe who would consult to this video to fix his garden door doesn't care about running beads or being an arc welding professional you duffies.
no
how to identify structural dangers 101
So each time he does another spot he's laying it down on top of the slag layer from the previous spot, right? And so it doesn't bond where it overlaps?
Doesn't anyone clean the metal before welding anymore ???
😂 I do lol. A little gap would also help here too wouldn’t you say ?
@@garethmccullough390 not with the 6013. If I remember correctly the 6013 stays a little wet and will drop through the gap. But I would gap and root it with 6010 the cap with 7018 lo hi.
At least the chinese videos start with new steel. I've been getting pakistani "welding" videos lately. Oh. My. God.
Yes, but some rods work well on material with a primer or galv on it, 6010, 6011 and 6013. I prefer 6010. And qlwith wire, coreshield if fine also being a gasless fcaw.
@@ML-ks2ljyoud run two passes on a 1/8 tubing how useless is that 😂 here a trick. Take a 3/32 7018 rod and run a bead the heat alone will almost melt straight through.
This is not how you stick weld you need the arc Pool at its highest amps so on off on off isn’t giving you constant arc flow power you need , a cosmetic weld don’t mean there is enough penetration or arc pool
What kit did you use for this?
This works fine,i don't know why people are crying about it,this technique is great for thin metal
Very informative techniques
Hi,
I would like to get my existing Incline/Decline bench welding done with some minor adjustments..
So can you guide me, which type of welding is heavy duty..
In Google it shows TIG welding
DON'T KNOW WHERE THIS GUY HAS BEEN..WELDERS HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR OVER ONE HUNDRED YEARS.
So... this man has commitment issues with the amount of fish eyes. 😂😂😂
Nice work👏👏👏👏👏
That's a beautiful weld man
So, no one's taking about the fact the he's not wearing adequate gloves specially designed for welding 💀
Could I suggest turning down the heat as well as maybe using a 7018 instead
This is the equivalent of dip your toes to check if the waters too cold. Just jump right into it, and you’ll f*ckin’ adjust to it so you wont have to worry about your stick tap dancing. 😃
Every professional I am a beginner, and I appreciate that you’re sharing this, may the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and your family. Amen.
Ficou muito bom parabéns 👍👍
There are a bunch of comments here criticizing this example of welding 14 ga square tube - I doubt they weld this type of metal on a daily basis. There is such a fine line here between getting a good bead or a worm hole, penetration doesn't even enter the conversation. I weld this stuff every day and never run a straight bead, because first off the thickness of 14 ga tube is often inconsistent and will be 16 ga on a side. Therefore, it's not worth the effort to attempt to run a straight bead because if you get a worm hole it takes much more time filling it! 😮 I normally would do 3 long stitches on a side of 1 1/2 tube, but the technique shown works well also 👍
This is how it is really done…th-cam.com/video/71pkFS-d7uI/w-d-xo.html
Is that porosity at the end of those tacks?
By stopping the welding process you're not heating up the metal properly to create a strong bond. You should leave a 1mm gap between the two work pieces and use a waving motion between the two. Yes it's a skill.
My eyes are bless by watching this video in high brightness
This is only tack welding or also know as cold welding . It is ok if your welding thin metal and in most cases it is the only way you can weld thin stuff . He did draw where he is going to put each weld .
esa soldadura no pasa ningun test de calidad,... tiene que ser una soldadura continua y completa para evitar poros y tener una resistencia total
As soon as he started tacking that thing instead of just welding it, I paused that shit.
This is called clever editing, used on a video of someone tack welding. Not only is it tack welding but it's also got the touch of a paid editor. 🫵😊🙏Thank you. Thank you.
we live in great time , when u have free editing programs , where u can edit without skills 😁
@@migstickwelder1992 I suppose I wouldn't trade it for any other "known" time in history. The style isn't recommended but it makes for entertaining videos lol
Well that is a way to do it if you have to use a too big electrode. I would prefer to go over to a smaller more siuted electrode for the heat input, or change method to MAG or TIG. That way you dont push the slag into the weld.
Boeing: “looks good to me!”
Now kids grind it smooth an put a continuous weld so it can be stronger
Great example of low pentration junk welds. If you gotta stick weld gauge tubing tack in a backer plate and burn it in hot. 6013 is kinda a trash rod but it won't gouge the steel as bad as 6010 or 6011
If he's a welder im an astronaut
