i've a welding teacher that insisted our keyhole be big enough to practically stick the rod through. no pressure on the plate at all... super hard to do, and then youtube showed me the right way to do it! always glad to see comprehensive 6010 open root videos.
for tests most places want an uphill root, welds ran uphill are structurally stronger, when you’re in the field after the test it’s different, downhill root is faster
I've welded 25 years as a pipefitter and on the weld tests we take we have to run the root the hot pass and cap all uphill. I'm guessing this guy is a pipeliner because he's running downhill. He explained this video very well. Looks like a pretty decent welder.
Excellent advice for novices! Bless you! Great instructions. Most welders online hide their amps, travel speed, etc. Btw, most welding instructors teach welders to keep the rod "at 90° to the center!"
Wow! That is root pass. All I know using 6010/6011 for root pass is to travel through whip and pause to fill up the key hall but you did it very easy to look at but I pretty sure it needs mastery to perfect it. Thank yoi so much! From Philippines
Awesome job explaining. Im on open v groove in school and they teach us the “step” method where you burn forward and step back into the puddle. Why don’t you have to do this on pipe?
When doing downhill pipe you’ve got a very tight gap with ussually little to no land. So if the bevel can hold the puddle with out keyholing very big you don’t have to wip in the root. On 6010 uphill roots if you get your heat and landing on your bevel perfect you can drag the rod uphill and get the same results. If you’ve got a bigger root opening or small amount of land on a fit up you can turn your amps down and wip and pause your root to get the same result. Its all puddle malipulation/ control. Watch the puddle and keyhole and you’ll get it!
Great work guy good welding I can see u pay attention to what the weld is doing u take pride in the work u you u put your heart n soul on it .what part of Texas u r located
@@TheWeldLab thats good Im glad I will subscribe to your Chanel I will message you later on I have a welding company will be needing good welders like you .great work again .
When you mean having it straight you mean like… 90 degrees? Like if ur on top dont have it straight up, if ur on the left dont have it straight left and etc, thats correct?
@@TheWeldLab yep 5p+ but I was always told that Lincoln u can apply alot of pressure but miller u cannot. I haven't welded pipe in 8 years and its giving me alot more hell to relearn downhill than I thought it would
Not sure which Miller u r using but I have used both on the Miller PipePro make sure ur heat is up like a Lincoln but also turn ur dig/arc force up more n it will help penatrate breaking walls u should see ur small key hole, hope that helps
@@1pipepro actually im using a hobart champion 225 basically a miller but no arc force or anything fancy. It welds just like a miller. Tomorrow ill just get real aggressive with it and run my root around 85 to 90 amps and really push on the rod. I bought the machine because it was cheap and same thing as my buddys trailblazer. Not looking to pipeline but chase rigs like he does so maybe I can relearn pipe again. Its been 8 years so its startin all over for me
If your running beads drag it unless the key hole opens up then you wanna step in when you downhill . Only time I really whip the bead in is if my doing uphill
i’m starting welding in highschool and my teacher has told me to whip n pause but i’ve seen multiple online videos of welders dragging. does anyone know some pros and cons to either side
Bro I need some help with my root, my instructor tells me to penetrate the keyhole but everytime I do that and drag start dragging it.. my rod gets stuck
Run a nickel land and a dime gap. Run your rod 90deg. To pipe . Run a 5/32. 5p pluss rod. Run enought heat to move forward at a ready pace, yes you will have a key hole just keep going if the key hole is not filling in turn down in incriminates of 5 on the box. I learned this a long time ago . I will tell you that for a reference two welders on a 30 inch pipeline tie in crew can put a bead in the pipe in 20 min. Or less. So keep practicing. Good luck.
332 gap 1/8 rod , strike it like you would a match on heat effected zone . If you get stuck pull the stinger off the rod and grab another cause you probably knocked off the flux on the end of the rod and that's why you keep sticking .
push= hotter Drag=cooler 90degrees or straight will give you the most penetration and consistency if you can handle it...fit up plays a big role in which angle to use
My instructor forces me to use whip and pause motion when doing the root pass. I’m I wrong for just moving forward consistently like shown in this video
I was always taught to whip 6010 didnt know you could drag it they always say that 6010 has alot of burn through so whip it, does the drag for 6010 also work for plate etc
If you have a remote dragging the rod is easier and faster. Most of the time you don’t, so you learn how to weld with one heat all the way out. Even with 6010bead and Lohi out I’ll keep the same amperage. Uphill you’ll want to whip that bead in to help avoid trapped slag or internal undercut on the root. Also depends on weld procedure your working under. Api1104 will let all kinds of trash welds where b31 will not. All depends on the job. I personally prefer to whip 5p in on the root to insure a good reinforcement on the inside with no undercut.
@@TheWeldLab i run it around 75 and 85 but I watch one of your videos where u were helping one ofur friends , and I was using the same rods 😆 ill try using some good ones later! unas linconl or something
@@TheWeldLab i was using the blue can I think the name is bhroner or brohner something like that I sae ur compa using them and your were saying they were not good so i guess it was that
Im in school for welding rn in Houston, i was having issues with my key hole i kept wondering why it was just getting big?! Didn't realize i didnt have it an angle
The thing with me is I’ll run it good dig it in but then it gets stuck and I try to strike again it’s a pain and when I’m going down to 6 o’clock it’s a pain
curious man, you say fix keyhole as if bad? we in school we want key hole and manipulate ? (small key hole small whip.............. big keyhole long whip_just wondrin why you do it that way
La forma en como aplican la soldadura esta mal. Ya que debe de empezar de abajo hacia arriba, la mitad y viceversa, ademas de que el fondeo debe ser con 6010, despues 7018.
Aki en Estados Unidos las líneas de gas van con 6010 para abajo y Después la llenamos con 8010 para abajo esos Se hace así porque es mucho más rápido que para arriba

I'm a welder myself. And I have to say your videos are very informative and precise. Keep up the good work!
Gr8 tutorial man. I was surprised to see no whip and pause. Only when you needed to fill an occasional keyhole. Thanks for the lesson bud
im glad you enjoyed it ill have more tutorials on the way with way better quality and audio
If you have a good gap you can just drag make sure you're breaking down both walls. Only need to step if you keyhole

U did a great job on this video like seeing fellow welders help others in the craft 😀
I like the way you make arc welding seem like a breeze. Good stuff

Great video. Confirmed some of what I was doing, but also brought to my attention some things I wasn't cognizant of. Cheers!
As a welder i enjoyed your video a alott
Already!!!! Back it it again!!!!

I love this video so much. You did it very well
On your last weld the 2g pipe. What do you do to have the weld come out all the way across? Thanks for the tips man and awesome videos.
Best video on 6010 pipe
Great work guy good welding I can see u pay attention to what the weld is doing u take pride in the work u you u put your heart n soul on it .what part of Texas u r located
H-town!!
@@TheWeldLab thats good Im glad I will subscribe to your Chanel I will message you later on I have a welding company will be needing good welders like you .great work again .
Cool hit me up!
Can you make a 7018 1/8 vertical up. I’m trynna learn and it’s tricky. I do better on the 3/32 . But everyone else is using the 1/8
A little advice from a seasoned welder of 25 years . Big rod big mess small rod small mess when you're a beginner .
Nice to know how to do it right! Thanks!
Which welder machine you recommend to weld 6010 ??
Your video was so helpful thank you so much 🙏🏾👍
Excellent tutorial buddy
Do you put any land on the bevel ? If so how much ?
Very detailed video 👍🏽
When you mean having it straight you mean like… 90 degrees? Like if ur on top dont have it straight up, if ur on the left dont have it straight left and etc, thats correct?
Outstanding job sir.
Thanks bro! Very informative.
Bro do you have a video on how to make a 1beed cap
I have a 6010/7018 5g on here
I have an sa 200 red face but mine doesn’t have a remote what settings should I run bro
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Do you actually rest the rod on the bevel? I try that with my miller and it sticks
Yes I do and a lil pressure with the heat it will keyhole...are you using the correct rods ?

Thanks so much 🙏. You have help me step up my game!!
which grade will be better for SS pipe?
What’s the pros/cons of running a stringer vs a whip with the 6010? Is it just personal preference?
If your running beads drag it unless the key hole opens up then you wanna step in when you downhill . Only time I really whip the bead in is if my doing uphill
How did you like that MG remote
One of the best investments I have ever made
Hell yea bro thanks I’m gonna order me one now
Yeah bro you’ll love it

Your Almost at 1M views 💯💯👊🏼👊🏼

Spider pipe clamps would help your fit-up better and faster with various sizes for pipe, best investment, time saver as well!

how about a uphill video also?
Never seen no one run 6010 down hill on pipe!
@@leeebtire5107 you haven't ever pipeline welded then
@@drewjackson1127 your right I stick to 30/100
I'm a painter but good shit. I like your videos!
Can you show the inside of the pipe after you run your root ?
Sehr gut.Sehr gut.
Good information. Cheers.
Awesome weld
Like the video

Bro. Thank you! I will bring this to TWS
Glad I can help brother !
Excelente video solo falta la opción de subtítulos!
ya esta las voy a empezar a poner
Con la imagen lo entiendo
How much do you gap it?
about 1/16 for any pipe 6" and smaller and 3/32 for 8"and above is my preference
Can you do an up hill one please
Why are my downhill roots flat?
Very good
always been told to see a key hole to know that both joints have fusied?
Thank you!
Excellent videothank you .
🙏🏼 thanks
Nice work man . Hate those coatings for fumes
Thanks. You make it look easy.
Thx for the video.
Nice job..
Thanks!
Thanks for the advise very helpful
appreciate the support!
Thought it always had to be flat, vertical, and overhead for any test? I just have never seen it before? Was just curious?
Great video! Thanks for the info.
Glad it was helpful!
30 - 40 amps right
Where your welding gloves at
Good stuff
Well Done!!!!
I also don't wear gloves welding with P-5. ore sleeves 4:08
good
video
The thing with me is I’ll run it good dig it in but then it gets stuck and I try to strike again it’s a pain and when I’m going down to 6 o’clock it’s a pain
Good job,hop it is useful
My weld instructor told me that there is no way to weld open root without whipping it, i tried dragging it like you did but i kept blowing through
Are you going downhill?
And how big is your gap ? With a 1/16 gap you should be able to drag it
@@TheWeldLab my weld instructor told me to never go downhill with 6010, but you make it look just fine
Good info
thannks
curious man, you say fix keyhole as if bad? we in school we want key hole and manipulate ? (small key hole small whip.............. big keyhole long whip_just wondrin why you do it that way
целелозой варят?
Почему сверху вниз? Затекание шлака вниз будет
How can I contact you?
Lloyds inspector hear in uk would march us off site if we welded like that in the uk
like the video tho

You aught to do a video on a 6gr up hill with 6010 and fill and cap with 7018 with the restriction ring the d1.1
Yessir a lot of people requested that video ...I’ll try to get on it
From what i know off 6gr is 7018 all the way through ?
That's correct 1/8 gap up hill all the way with a restriction ring
