Kase I love the fact that you love welding but please give us more light to see your work. It may also be helpful to state the wire specifics. "Flux Core" is vague at best! Thanks Wakodahatchee Chris
what gas do u guys used .when i was in my d.e.p in quebec we hade c25 or c80 gas and argone for aluminum basics i did 1800hours diploma with an other 980 h pipe welding bonus and i just love it the best job in the world when your a passionate person
@@berniemac3535 in our fluxcore welding we used gas if not it forms litle holes sorta like a aeros chocolat bars.there is some auto protect fluxcore aswell👍
Just curious as to why you ran so cold? All the popping indicates too cold/little too much wire. Would there be any any reason to not run around 25. Also curious on your opinions of straight on/pushing th beads
With flux core you can get away with a SLIGHT push, but generally you want to pull. With Solid wire mig a push is far better in my opinion. Pulling gives you a little more penetration but it’s negligible. You’ll get a flatter, wider bead if you push also.
I didn’t hear any popping??? Just the normal sizzle from FCAW. Heat is not too cold either,if it’s too hot,wire will drip…gravity. Pulling dual-shield wire is not good,it would be like pushing a 7018 rod.
Could you show how to do a 2G open root 3/8 plate without backing strip using dual shield flux core 0.45 wire, that was test i was just given and failed, so could you throw me some pointers and help? A video would be greatly appreciated!!!
Kase here, I had to do a open root flux core years ago for xray. What I did, (if you're allowed) is I put a nice 3/32 landing on the bevel to contain that heat a little better. If running straight Co2, run it around 20.0V and 200 wire speed and stay in the puddle. The camera crew won't be out here for a while but if they do, I'll shoot the video for ya. Also, whenever you backgouge the backside, inspect that there's no slag entrapment. Thanks
Bro, I've failed 2 weld tests in 13 years. The most recent was last week, for a great job. It was 3/4 in plate 2g dual shield and the 2nd part was 3/8 in plate pulsebare wire 3g
This guy forget to tell you 25.5v at 309-350 wire speed. If you hear crackle your speed is too high. If it drops your too hot or need to speed up travel speed. 7 year fluxcore welder here underpaid in ca looking for better life out of ca in welding industry please help
@@joshaaron5387 nice what part of Texas. I am open to union deals however I am looking for 40+ starting pay. Lucky I have a city job welding in Los Angeles California
Do they teach you weld that slow at these schools. Welder straight out school who knew it all and it happened more than once would weld fixture to table like it was hold tons and not realizing you grind it off when you done.
Why drag instead of push even though it's flux and I need a better answer then drag when there's slag I'm taking a shear wave test for work I have failed my horizontal 6 times now passed over head and up hill first go it's worse than x ray
When you push, what happens is that it's usually done with the nozzle leaning toward the direction of the weld (towards the left since you're "pushing" right to left) and that causes splatter to jump out in front of the area/metal you're going to be welding over. This can cause porosity when you weld over that crap. By dragging the nozzle with a slight 5-10 degrees ( slightly facing left while you drag it left to right) all that spat goes behind instead of in front of the area to be welded and hence little chance of putting down beads over spat- covered metal. Hope that helps.
seconde pass i find you started of with just a litle too long of a stick and angle too inclined and then change perfect towards the end .i could tell by the sound started of more chunky claks and finnished souding like bacon in a frying pane could tell were you started changing angle naturely
Why are you going in the same direction the entire time No stop and restart on bevel side, your plate is upside down for the direction your traveling and your running too cold snap crackle pop!

I will let the camera guys know thanks for the feedback! The wire is Hobart Ultracore 0.45 wire- Kase
Run 2g flux at 24 and almost 300.
@@target5347 Thanks!
How long do you let it cool down

Flux ain’t no gas??
@@berniemac3535 in our fluxcore welding we used gas if not it forms litle holes sorta like a aeros chocolat bars.there is some auto protect fluxcore aswell👍
Some flux core uses gas, some is gasless. This is probably dualshield
@@berniemac3535there is inner shield flux that you dont use gas for. Then outer shield flux core that you use extra gas just like solid wire

“We’ll not blowing through it”😂
Thanks Kase
what diameter wire were you using /
?
I’m pretty sure it’s 0.035

@@target5347 u ever worked shipyards?
@@adamjb21 about 7 years experience in em
I don't think there's a wps for that process under d1 just as there's no wps for hard wire with a backer man

We use to use ceramic backing strips when I worked in the shipyard
Did you earn your book?
@@jonathon8856 ???
At the shipyard in my city if you work 6 months straight at the shipyard you earn your book and become a B booker with the Boilermakers.
@@jonathon8856 sorry don't know what that means but I served a 4 year apprenticeship qualifying as a 1st class welder
Philly shipyard still tests 2G 3G ceramic. Well that’s for first class contractors at least
Very nice
I did it last week with 27 and 350 and ended at 24 and 300

Come to the Union. We got plenty of work here in Texas. Even on the non union side as well

Why don't you show the welds after you make each pass?
👍 👍 👊
You use v. How much
I thought you were supposed to weave it
Thts for vertical
