Saw a guy do it yesterday at Maverick in La Porte . A Coonass from home, La !!!!!! ✌👊😎 he passed. I passed branch and bell!!!! Nice video. Please buy a welding hat for your ears, ,
Got my start in the pipe department at a US Navy Shipyard. They also made us use 7018 for the root in the corner of a booth 2G and 5G and made an emphasis to grind every start. Also had to do TIG in the same scenario and both were 6" pipe ~ half inch wall. The bowl legged old fart giving us the initial instructions yelled at us young boys no back stepping on starts....grind, grind grind. Ended up being an ace mirror welder on hydraulic lines arrayed. I'd do so much mirror welding I sometimes had a hard time tacking something for someone without a mirror. Good times. Great video and skills. We never tried it on DCEN though.
Just found your channel, enjoyed it greatly. Went to Sweden in 2010 whilst visiting family in Denmark. My husband went to a welding supply in Dansk and told me of how similar the welding supply was to the USA and even SMELLED THE SAME ! Thanks
I ran this when I lived in Sweden. Its really all in the hand remote but when its done, its bad ass. I have never seen it done in California and Im a Union pipefitter. Awesome job. cheers TyT
Did the same test today. On a 60mm pipe 12mm thick. And i used ok 48.15 in the root. Dcen 75amp. 3.5 opening And 2.5mm land. I did not have remote but root went out nice. Thank for nice tips And tricks. I am from NORWAY.
Just found your channel young man. You have great skills (far better than my welding skills) and videos are good. Thanks for uploading and best regards from North Yorkshire, England.
Nice job! Here in New Brunswick, Canada we also do 7018 root, fill and cap if required, although a 6010 root is becoming more commonplace. Great idea using a remote for the root pass, i would love to see that become a standard here as well. Also i can tell you from 20 yrs experience welding that the 7018 root is much harder to master, again nice job.
Yeah the remote is definitely a boost both in quality and production rate. I have personally never run a single 6010, so it's nice to get your opinion about the difference. Thanks for watching and comment.
I have been welding pipe for 30+ years. 7018 and stainless stick is very impressive. If you very good rod both helps. I have welded pipe with every process except a sub arc.
Words don't invent themselves now do they :D Instant like. I like the thoroughness and attention to essentials and details on your process. Good job! :) Subscribed.
Good instruction and humor. Would you please make a video of the internal components of your Esab welding machines (manufacturers, specs, etc)? In the Western Hemisphere there is great confusion and fraud regarding price and components in welding machines.
For those that don’t know dcen is straight polarity and the arc is jumping from the rod to the work piece and dcep is reverse polarity and the arc is jumping from workpiece to rod.
I've used 7018 for root pass before and to achieve this is to understand how polarity affects your weld and the technique needed to execute this. Using 7018 all the way for me is a hard technique to learn but very rewarding.
Hi Thank you for this very nice video. Note that you have potentiometer based amp setting which you are I think using it is also possible to have two toggle switches : one for +1 amp up and one for -1 amp down remote control.
Very nice work. Haven't come across that procedure here in Canada for pipe. I have heard of a similar technique used for piping used as a structural component, like a pile.
DarrinsFarm Thanks! Here in sweden no one knows how to run a 6010 root anymore. we stopped using it for about 30years ago. 7018 gives better welding quality witch is better suitted for cold conditions and more resident to cracking than a 6010.
Crazy how ideals can be so different. Here pipelines that are being buried are welder all the way out with xx10 rods downhill. Makes me want to work in different countries just to see how they do things differently. Always wondered why esab rods said ok on them. Just assumed it was a quality control thing.
We use 7018 roots in Canada. I'm guessing you are out west ? Here in NL at the Come by Chance refinery all the stick roots are 7018. The only difference is we run reverse polarity. Which is harder to run than straight.
What a great find this channel is. Great info, lovely arc shots, superb welding skills. Weird not to hear an American accent as on most welding vids & still yet to find a Brit who's putting out video, they must be out there
I think they called it "straight polarity". Welders would try it every now and then with 5p on pipeline. A good inspector could catch them in the act if he kept his s am/fm radio on a.m. Win around the bead hands. Thanks for the video
Yes, you're right about the polarity I got it wrong there. About the polarity its a little different in Europe compared with US. In Europe its what the wps allows you to do is what matters. In fact this filler from ESAB is recommended from the manufacturer to run on dcen for the root pass. Thanks for commenting and watching. Have a great day.
Thanx buddy i am work in Malaysia and i was many friends over there in Sweden all belong from BLLF organization Bounded Labour Liberation Front Lidkoping My email is akram.heera@gmail.com
very nice video shows you know what you are doing. I am surprised that there is no 6010 in Sweden , it does make root passes easier. I have some Esab 7018 it works well. I usually use Blueshield electrodes from Air Liquide they have 6 different 7018 rods have a look at their stuff. They are a Canadian company . By the way I have been using a Fronius MV180 and I like it.
Thanks for comment. 7018 gives a more ductile weld that is more resident to cracking. I think that's why we are using 7018 instead of 6010. plus a 7018 weld is prettier to look at. Fronius makes great machine's. If I rate welding machine's 1 kemppi 2 fronius 3 esab. Thanks for watching
Thanks alot for kind words. as a matter of fact we recorded a new video last weekend, and I am editing it right now so maby in a week it will be uploaded. But I have never welded 6010 not even seen a 6010 rod in sweden. but who knows what the future bring. Thanks for watching
I really don't know! It seems to be the common practice here. I was talking to the old timer I work with ,though, and he said they used all 7018 for the pipe jobs he was on.
i decided to have a go at this with a piece of scrap pipe using 6013 2.5 mm with welder set at 80 amps just to see what happened ,I am reasonably with the result but I don't think it would pass inspection , but I will try again perhaps I will do the test
Awesome thx for the tip on the reverse polarity root. The company I'm working for wants me to test for pipe with 7018 root and cap. N I think i got it down. Thx.
It sounds like the 7018 is some kind of hard impressive thing to use abroad...here in sweden we are not even offered something else,we dont know how to use other "easier" rods. If we are Lucky it could be offered some special root Rod like Elga p47 wich can be welded good in lower ampere like 62-65 If wanted. Most welders use ok 48.00 and weld with 70 ampere or more without controller and + is on rod
Started with pipe training ( 159 mm 8.1mm wall ) and can't figure out how to handle the cap pass with 7018 3.2mm rod . The problem is that I can't control the heat from 4 to 2 o'clock and it doesn't matter if I do stringer or weave . Is the wall thickness to thin or is the technique wrong ? Also I saw a comment from Fildres from an old video and he recommended to do an upside down U shape rod manipulation, hold a tight arc on the sides and long arc it on the middle to flatten the molten metal and I really works but still looks to hot. Thanks again for your help and tips on the 7018 root pass and your amazing videos and arc shots.
+Андрей Клименко hard to give advice without seeing it. First try to keep your arc consistent. Arc length about half of the rod 3.2/2=1,6mm is about right. Aim rod at the centre of the pipe. Try amperage between 105-120 somewhere around that should work. If u long arc a 7018 to much you will get porosity. Z or u weaves have little effect by comparing with 7018. Good luck with your welding.😉
Thank you for your videos man! You have got some of the best arc shots on the web right now, it's astounding how clear the puddle is and it makes it all that much more educational for us guys trying to get into the trade. All the technical info is seriously appreciated, really solid advice and it shows you know what you're doing. Cause of this video I decided to try 7018 on DCEN for fun and found it produces as good a weld as EP, at least for my applications as a student. Sound threw me off but when the slag came off it surprised me. Really not all that different appearance wise. Question: At 2:53 and 4:21 are you using a passive lens filter? It's pretty impressive that you were able to locate the stop/bevel with the hood down. I've been learning on a passive and I find that if I don't start almost immediately after dropping the hood I lose my position and have to take a peek again.
mrbones Thanks for the nice feedback I really appreciate it. yeah it's right I only use passive filters. have tried some speedglas helmets and they are nice. but I like things that work and a passive filter allways work. And I allways hit the right spot once the lights go out 😁 but I guess it all comes down to training.
Hello, I am a dedicated learner but not a student, in my 4th month of stick welding (almost daily so results show uo) I did verify what was said to me, that passive helmets are better for the ones that wear progressive glasses, like me. But, at some point , and because I need a N°10 screen to see well and I do not have yet the glass that strength for my 3M hood, I had to switch "back" to the LCD hood (not a cheap one, but the view is less clear than with glass). I noticed that I did make a good step in my learning, as I could envisage what I see , from a little farther, and with a part of imagination, relying on the shapes of the colors, the sound of the arc , and may be other that I am not conscious of. I was said and we can see that on videos, professional welders more often use passive helmets . Greetings
That's really cool, thanks for clarifying and writing back dude. I hope to develop that kind of muscle memory eventually. I'm still having minor trouble on a basic flat t-joint fillet as far as high spots on the start and uneven leg lengths between the two segments, and don't get me started on vertical :D. Sometimes I get one that looks textbook perfect but that's very few and far between. I'm with you on your sentiment about passives. I've tried a handful of AD hoods and they gave me nothing but problems. Usually uneven dark/light spots on the screen that would get worse depending on the angle your head was turned at. Just bad luck I think. Sadly they were a waste of money for me, and now they're sitting collecting dust. Got a couple of passive shades on me all the time now if I ever need to swap. Anyway carry on making these awesome videos, looking forward to whatever is next.
Hi, I was said the normal progression is to first focus and look "only" at the puddle, sending it where we want and keeping its shape consistent. Then at some point we see we can begin to look from a little farther and then we understand that we look at more things at once. Hopefully, as what we see is never so much once the mask is on. Regards
Very instructive and clear arc shots. You're improving the channel. Do you film through the welding helmet or through neutral density filters? So curious... Welding greetings from Denmark
Bo Helsted Hey Bo! bought a nd filter for capture welding really expensive. but i dident get any good pictures with that. this i have built my own filter with a 11 din welding glas. I use my old Sony a33 camera and set focus and brightness manually.
Hello NSW, I'm enjoying your video about the 6g 7018, want to try this process tommorow what is your pipe land and gap. Your penetration was outstanding and uniform, I've had a hard time using 6010 for the root either uphill or downhill. HELP
never tried the 7018 root. Just watched weld.com he did a good one also. but you could see he wasn't a fan. I will try it some time soon. thank for video
trey Stewart It is not ac... In this video yes he welded with the stinger In negative side. You can also do it with DCEP, like 7018 is usually ran. But nothing To do with AC lol!
I have a question, how hard are these tests? i current work as a TIG welder in aerospace ($1,000,000+ parts) unfortunately this industry is basically dead thinking of getting a few of these stick Certs to get a job that pays more than $12 an hr.
Not An Argument. It's like riding a bike. Once you get the hang of it it's not that hard. Since you are all ready in to welding you should have a good chance to fix it fast. Good luck with your welding and thanks for watching and comment
Tyrone Rips Up Cats Kang we had 6010 but stopped using it for like 25 years ago. 7018 gives a better weld. Due to low hydrogen compared with 6010. Higher tensile strength and more resident to cracking. The thing I wondering about is why so many still use 6010?
Northern Sweden Welding we use 6011 on tug boats and barges when we can't get the area clean of rust/paint for whatever reason. I used it to day when welding on the m.s.d. system on a tugboat (the 6" pipe that dumps the poop into the poo tank). You can only get a pipe like that so clean due to it being impregnated with poo and pee for all those years. Other times we are welding on rust in the rain and 6011 helps burn it all out then we can do a 7018 cover pass. Pretty much 6011 is for when we are welding on oil soaked rust, upside down, hanging 30 feet up in the air while it is raining sideways and we are covered in grease and it has to be fixed!
If you do aerospace, you can 6G TIG and likely on high grade SS. You should look into boiler or vessel work. 7018 is often used for fill and cap in the field. Focus on 6010 if you wanna get into oil field work. With the requirements of aerospace, you should have zero trouble transitioning into another industry.
Wow just saw this video again and it is badass. 7018 root is real hard to master. Nice job man!! 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Saw a guy do it yesterday at Maverick in La Porte .
A Coonass from home, La !!!!!! ✌👊😎 he passed.
I passed branch and bell!!!!
Nice video.
Please buy a welding hat for your ears, ,
Its reverse polarity right?
Can I weld 6010 for root pass by polarity DCEN ?
@@karlopadilla2718 yes it is👍
Schlasken R
Actually reverse polarity is electrode positive.
For the root he ran straight polarity DCEN
Never in a million years would've thought of doing it like this. Currently going to pipe school in lower Alabama, USA totally gonna try this!
ROLL TIDE!!!!! I'M TOP G UN KEEP WORKING HARD BROTHER !! YOU WELL GET GOOD SOUTHERN BOYS ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!

Thats about how i weld ok48, and im from western sweden! My teachers were from middle and northern sweden though, great old guys.
this is a cool video. very nice work. most people would say this couldnt be donr

Awesome video. Keep the welding video coming, you have a great channel
Im from indonesia, Batam Island.
Thanks for the video master
It is the first time i ear about changing polarity with 7018. I will need to give it a try. Great video, very informative.
For those that don’t know dcen is straight polarity and the arc is jumping from the rod to the work piece and dcep is reverse polarity and the arc is jumping from workpiece to rod.

Wow 😮 what a great job sir
Estoy ansioso porque tengo que hacer una probeta mañana y este genio como si nada... Raíz con 7018!!!!!!

My training was started with 6010 rods because it is much harder to use than 7018. Learn to swim in deep water!
Appalachian Stillhunter why weld with 6010 if it's harder to weld with and give u a lower weld quality than 7018? just curious.
I really don't know! It seems to be the common practice here. I was talking to the old timer I work with ,though, and he said they used all 7018 for the pipe jobs he was on.
We dont use 6010 in Sweden 😂 and its reverse 6010 are easier to weld rootpasses with. In tradeschool we only practice 7018 DC+ Roots.

Nice job sir
“If you hear me using any words you don’t know, it’s because I just invented that word.” I think a particular President can relate
I China as well as Korean welder use 6013 for root pass for structural and pipe welding

Men Satan! Det blev ju ett klickmonster😂 den här videon har ju nästan haft en bättre svetskarriär än mig.
Hahaha vadå nästan?! Har lätt dragit in typ 700 spänn på denna video så det är väll typ en pizza och några bärs. Men lite kul är det iallafall.
Congratulacion 😊
Awesome thx for the tip on the reverse polarity root. The company I'm working for wants me to test for pipe with 7018 root and cap. N I think i got it down. Thx.

Question: At 2:53 and 4:21 are you using a passive lens filter? It's pretty impressive that you were able to locate the stop/bevel with the hood down. I've been learning on a passive and I find that if I don't start almost immediately after dropping the hood I lose my position and have to take a peek again.
mrbones Thanks for the nice feedback I really appreciate it. yeah it's right I only use passive filters. have tried some speedglas helmets and they are nice. but I like things that work and a passive filter allways work. And I allways hit the right spot once the lights go out 😁 but I guess it all comes down to training.
Hello, I am a dedicated learner but not a student, in my 4th month of stick welding (almost daily so results show uo)
I did verify what was said to me, that passive helmets are better for the ones that wear progressive glasses, like me.
But, at some point , and because I need a N°10 screen to see well and I do not have yet the glass that strength for my 3M hood, I had to switch "back" to the LCD hood (not a cheap one, but the view is less clear than with glass). I noticed that I did make a good step in my learning, as I could envisage what I see , from a little farther, and with a part of imagination, relying on the shapes of the colors, the sound of the arc , and may be other that I am not conscious of.
I was said and we can see that on videos, professional welders more often use passive helmets .
Greetings
That's really cool, thanks for clarifying and writing back dude. I hope to develop that kind of muscle memory eventually. I'm still having minor trouble on a basic flat t-joint fillet as far as high spots on the start and uneven leg lengths between the two segments, and don't get me started on vertical :D. Sometimes I get one that looks textbook perfect but that's very few and far between.
I'm with you on your sentiment about passives. I've tried a handful of AD hoods and they gave me nothing but problems. Usually uneven dark/light spots on the screen that would get worse depending on the angle your head was turned at. Just bad luck I think. Sadly they were a waste of money for me, and now they're sitting collecting dust. Got a couple of passive shades on me all the time now if I ever need to swap.
Anyway carry on making these awesome videos, looking forward to whatever is next.
Hi, I was said the normal progression is to first focus and look "only" at the puddle, sending it where we want and keeping its shape consistent.
Then at some point we see we can begin to look from a little farther and then we understand that we look at more things at once.
Hopefully, as what we see is never so much once the mask is on. Regards
Very instructive and clear arc shots. You're improving the channel. Do you film through the welding helmet or through neutral density filters? So curious... Welding greetings from Denmark
Bo Helsted Hey Bo! bought a nd filter for capture welding really expensive. but i dident get any good pictures with that. this i have built my own filter with a 11 din welding glas. I use my old Sony a33 camera and set focus and brightness manually.
Hello NSW, I'm enjoying your video about the 6g 7018, want to try this process tommorow what is your pipe land and gap. Your penetration was outstanding and uniform, I've had a hard time using 6010 for the root either uphill or downhill. HELP
I run reversed polarity on the root. With 2.5mm land and 3-3.5 mm gap. A remote makes the root mutch easier. Good luck with your welding.
thats a nice root pass on the inside
never tried the 7018 root. Just watched weld.com he did a good one also. but you could see he wasn't a fan. I will try it some time soon. thank for video
Its AC for 7018,,reverse polarity
trey Stewart It is not ac... In this video yes he welded with the stinger In negative side. You can also do it with DCEP, like 7018 is usually ran. But nothing To do with AC lol!
sos un maestro!!!!!
I have a question, how hard are these tests?
i current work as a TIG welder in aerospace ($1,000,000+ parts)
unfortunately this industry is basically dead
thinking of getting a few of these stick Certs to get a job that pays more than $12 an hr.
Not An Argument. It's like riding a bike. Once you get the hang of it it's not that hard. Since you are all ready in to welding you should have a good chance to fix it fast. Good luck with your welding and thanks for watching and comment
Go join space x it aint dead
Tyrone Rips Up Cats Kang we had 6010 but stopped using it for like 25 years ago. 7018 gives a better weld. Due to low hydrogen compared with 6010. Higher tensile strength and more resident to cracking. The thing I wondering about is why so many still use 6010?
Northern Sweden Welding we use 6011 on tug boats and barges when we can't get the area clean of rust/paint for whatever reason. I used it to day when welding on the m.s.d. system on a tugboat (the 6" pipe that dumps the poop into the poo tank). You can only get a pipe like that so clean due to it being impregnated with poo and pee for all those years. Other times we are welding on rust in the rain and 6011 helps burn it all out then we can do a 7018 cover pass.
Pretty much 6011 is for when we are welding on oil soaked rust, upside down, hanging 30 feet up in the air while it is raining sideways and we are covered in grease and it has to be fixed!
If you do aerospace, you can 6G TIG and likely on high grade SS. You should look into boiler or vessel work. 7018 is often used for fill and cap in the field. Focus on 6010 if you wanna get into oil field work. With the requirements of aerospace, you should have zero trouble transitioning into another industry.
