Interesting. I have never used a "drag or pull" technique with solid wire and gas. Seems to have worked well in this application, not to "lumpy" as often happens with this technique. Might have to give it a try.
hmm is it better to have multiple thinner strings in one rope or to have just one rope out of a single piece, just comparisson,.. Your "milky" welds or beadless welds tend to crack at the bend test more than the ones who have beads on them :P
The company I work for is going from spray and short circuit to pluse having hard time with g2 test passed all my downhills I passed it before with spray and metal core
I’m a welder while he is a amazing welder I have had to take many federal test for my work and horizontal has to be strait up and down not tilted back not he can run a hell of a bead
Jd Davis 2g is horizontal. He should have pushed this too. Where I work, if you get caught dragging or pulling, you get walked out. Structure should never be pulled. His welds look nice but not near as strong as they should be. Also should have been preheated and IP shouldn’t be more than 400, but I guess for demonstration, this kinda works
@@lauramaryp Unless you work at a shipyard. Then it's a slight push angle for everything for some reason. (Except maybe 052, you really have to drag it a little). Idk why but the engineers want it that way
bob iam a welder iam right handed mate can i start from the front of the plate on the left hand side or do i have to start at the right hand back of the plate
Put the plate fully to 90 degree angle.. and make a video how you weld that with half V groove, and using spray arc. Thickness at least 16mm. MC or hardwire. I would love to see that. And leave the straight edge should be the lower edge and beveled edge up. Full pen, open root. Thanks 😉 Combined degrees should be around 50 to 55°. (Another edge straight, and the another one for 50 to 55°) sorry my bad english. 😁
Same thought, im just a student taking a short course in flux cored. My instructor is kinda strict when it comes to position of the plate, an intentionally off angle for advantage is like cheating. Although these are nice welds. I wont gonna get as good as this man.
I'm thinking about buying an everlast pulse mig welder. Would the pulse mig help with warping? I'm not finding too much about pulse mig welding other than marketing material from Miller, Lincoln, etc. I don't really trust those.
From what I have heard and read it only makes sense that when you heat and cool quickly, it should lessen the warping. Short runs with some patience in waiting for the part to cool down. One of the bigger you tube channels has felt with MIG pulse. Try surfing through them. I just tried pulsing with my Everlast 140st. GTAW. DC only. I have a pedal modified into the machine. I know it's not a GMAW, MIG but kinda the same idea. The weld was not so red in the end. Hope that helps. Good luck and let us know when you try the new machine.
I'm thinking about getting an Everlast pulse mig welder. I do enough thin material welding to justify it. It should help with my out of position spray welding too.
Ah, so it's the wire itself. I was thinking (incorrectly) that the wire simply facilitated the arc, causing the two metal pieces to "melt" together. Like I said, I'm a complete newcomer, so please excuse my ignorance.
Yes and you can buy mig wire in different size spools where the larger ones typically offer a better value if you do much welding. I moved up from the smallest spools up to a larger size for my everlast welder and it is much cheaper.
My mig horizontal test was hanging up and down, no tilt at all.. and even though he’s saying he’s running stringers, he’s still weaving back and forth.. we had to push the weld in no motion, push it. I would like to see someone show it being done that way.

Weld.com Thank you. I like the technique you used to fill in that big space. RIght now I only have a TIG welder, and I 'm sure your approach would have taken a lot more time with TIG. If your contest picks me to receive that machine, I could put it to good use soon.
Every video i watch of 2g the volts are so low. At my job we have a mandatory 29 volt setting for any thickness steel and a wire speed around 250. Any reason for this?
The Welder interesting. At my job I just got assigned to fabricate a industrial wash rack for equipment made from 1/8” and 1/4” stainless steel. I’ve welded in the past some and needed advice. I’ve been running 21.5-22 volts and about 350 wire speed on a Miller Migmatic 220. Does that seem pretty common?
You might be running thicker wire, or more likely If you are running a different shielding gas say more than 90% Argon you might be doing a Spray Transfer instead of short circuit transfer like you see in these videos which requires a higher weld temperature to get up to a critical amount called Transition Current
Read d1.1 code and you actually get between 180-135 degrees when doing a 2G. it is allowed just frowned upon because it shows your trying to use gravity to help penetrate flatter.
Half_Thai_Guy you can't push fluxcore. slag builds up, if you pushed your weld wouldn't penetrate due to all the contaminates in the way. "if theres slag you drag"
Glad to see a real welder on this channel.
I will be practicing this with my everlast mig welder. Such great instruction and advice.
do you have a video with a true horizontal plate?
Jeez, what a beautiful weld
Quality and the CWI’s at work have us wire wheel every pass and every bit of silica has to be off each bead before we run another.
Thank you for visiting
I love using flux mig weld is my favorite
Is there a reason for .30 wire vs .35 wire in this instance?
Dennis L.
Was hoping you might have setting recommendations for each pass?
I need to do this flux core... No videos on it??
Thank you, very informative.

nice welding.
Hi. What setting would you use for 1.2 wire?
Hello sir
Good job I like your video.

@TexasWelder I assume it's just different regulations, many companies have their own required techniques
@TexasWelder flux core you pull, solid wire push. If there's slag you drag.
@@lauramaryp Unless you work at a shipyard. Then it's a slight push angle for everything for some reason. (Except maybe 052, you really have to drag it a little). Idk why but the engineers want it that way
Drag/pull angle penetrates deeper into the base metal than push angle
bob iam a welder iam right handed mate can i start from the front of the plate on the left hand side or do i have to start at the right hand back of the plate
Looks good
what would you set the setting if it was .035 wire ?
Put the plate fully to 90 degree angle.. and make a video how you weld that with half V groove, and using spray arc. Thickness at least 16mm. MC or hardwire. I would love to see that. And leave the straight edge should be the lower edge and beveled edge up. Full pen, open root. Thanks 😉 Combined degrees should be around 50 to 55°. (Another edge straight, and the another one for 50 to 55°) sorry my bad english. 😁
I would love to see that from start to finish 😁 it aint so easy to weld, what many thinks.
Thanks this really helps a lot 🙏
I'm considering buying one of those small portable everlast mig welders. These videos sure are useful.
why do you use the plate holder and have it on a 30° angle? is it acceptable to use in a welding test.
of coarse not they know this
The most work allows is 10 degrees
Same thought, im just a student taking a short course in flux cored. My instructor is kinda strict when it comes to position of the plate, an intentionally off angle for advantage is like cheating. Although these are nice welds. I wont gonna get as good as this man.
No you cant and if this dude is a pro why is he not demonstrating the real 2 g position?
@@codyhiphop4284 for camera angle
when you do a 2g test is the plate at the angle you show on here or is it straight up and down.
Jason Wiggins more than likely straight up and down
Besides clamping, is there any other way to stop the metal from warping? Could you put a heat sink behind the plate?
You can use heat sinks in applications where you can get to the backside, but it's not always realistic.

good question todays techiques we use water filled copper backing
That's great man :)
what you need these for
v / wire feed speed / c cfh / wire .
Jamal
Theyre telling you their settings.
I'm new to this, so what I don't understand is, when you're doing multiple passes, where does the new metal come from?
I'm not sure I understand your question. "New metal" comes from the filler wire that is being pushed through the gun.
Ah, so it's the wire itself. I was thinking (incorrectly) that the wire simply facilitated the arc, causing the two metal pieces to "melt" together. Like I said, I'm a complete newcomer, so please excuse my ignorance.
Yes, the wire is actually consumed and melted into base material.
Yes and you can buy mig wire in different size spools where the larger ones typically offer a better value if you do much welding. I moved up from the smallest spools up to a larger size for my everlast welder and it is much cheaper.
Scott Thomas Thanks for your patience! I get it now.
why do you drag it on bare wire should you not be pushing i thought you just dragged on flux core
My mig horizontal test was hanging up and down, no tilt at all.. and even though he’s saying he’s running stringers, he’s still weaving back and forth.. we had to push the weld in no motion, push it. I would like to see someone show it being done that way.
He's using hardwire not flux core. Flux core you can push without movement, hardwire runs totally different
I wonder do these just look pretty or will these pulled stringers actually pass a bend test??
Who takes a test with hard wire. Can you weld flux. Major difference
educational ..thnx Sir
I don't do any structural welding with my everlast but I still find these videos pretty educational.
Hi. I have a question. Is there any wait time between passes mig welding mild steel? Thank you
I wait 3 to 4 minutes from my root to my fill... then wait about 15 for the cap
like to see it with .052 metal core
Nice cap pass
It would be helpful if you told us the wire size.. Other than that, this was a very helpful video
He did it’s .030
Pay attention when u watch something…
In EU that would failed test.. it would be condidered as a 1g or how we call it PA
According to ESAB's page, their giveaway opportunity ended July 5, almost three weeks before the date youtube says this video was published.
The giveaway isn't through ESAB. we're simply giving away one of their machines, it is through Napotnik Welding supply. Drawing will happen August 17.
Thank you. This is a good video. How do I enter for the drawing?

its nice welds but i personaly dont like the forward and pause thing :P
amazes me how you can lean your piece 20 degrees or so... my test doesnt allow that.. test piece is straight... no leaning
Thats not in 2g position. Taking a real test was hoping for help with actual 2g position not a 45 degree not sure is that 6g ?
Read d1.1 code and you actually get between 180-135 degrees when doing a 2G. it is allowed just frowned upon because it shows your trying to use gravity to help penetrate flatter.
could've you pushed this instead of dragging? I SWEAR i think i learned to push it? but it's been awhile since school
Half_Thai_Guy you can't push fluxcore. slag builds up, if you pushed your weld wouldn't penetrate due to all the contaminates in the way. "if theres slag you drag"
Half_Thai_Guy only in some cases vertically but never flat or horizontal
This is Hard wire guy's, if at all possible you push, burn that silica out. Flux you drag, that is correct.
what happened to the old guy, hope he comes back.
Yes sir, no offense to the current gentleman. Just something about learning from old timers is cool :)
I think the positions is not horizontal, lol, don't you know how horizontal positions ?
No Sam i am, I will not eat your green eggs and ham
That is not a horizontal.
That's too many welds for one joint, 2 is plenty, you're metal is warped
Bend it. It’ll break .
