Good to see people still use stainless stick on pipe. When I first went to work for Celanese America’s in 1976 we tested on 6” sch 40 316 pipe all the way out with Arcalloy 316-15. Many years of 100 percent stick on stainless. Once you learned how running the root was a piece of cake. As you probably figured out I’m getting up in age. Thank you for showing people stick stainless is still viable. Good job on the video.
I have a test tomorrow where I’m going to have to run a stainless root. Is there any way I can contact you and talk to you? I need some tips and pointers and I can’t find any advice or videos of stainless root getting put in
Good to see???? We have tig machines. This is pointless besides in a pinch. Companies that are too cheap to do it tig don't need to be a company anymore.
Obviously a highly skilled dude,but are there any real situations where your going to set up like that? My welds dont look like this but im normally crawling around in shit or up a scaffold.
Up here in Alberta Canada they make us weld all the 304,308, 316, 347 in position with stick it’s brutal , we’re always trying to argue with the companies they need to go with tig all the way when it comes to stainless , guys will be jammed up in some brutal spots for days on some big thick schedule 160 joints welding that garbage stick
@@kurtissmith4555 aaahhh, good God. I find it real wet and real tricky on the overhead parts.hot start, arc force amps...everything has to be just perfect
@@kurtissmith4555 You think that's bad, I had a company force me to weld some 308L Sched 10S in position stick all the way out. Trying to put a root in with stick, especially in position, is absolute fucking hell. To make it even better, it was my first gig in the trade and every time anyone has mentioned welding pipe with stick since I've told them to find someone else lol.
Avesta makes really good welding rod (green coating ) ,way less spatter , we typically go 3/16 right off the hot pass ,never fail a ferrite test either . If you are getting porosity on your starts just ark the rod out for two or three seconds to heat the moisture out of the rod .
Not that great if he is going to have videos of him broadcasted on youtube of him stick welding stainless with absolutely no RPE or LEV, standing there welding and huffing on fumes👎👎 Should know better, and should at least mention, or better off demonstrate the hazards of the fumes that come off of this process. Welding carbon with lowHy rods is bad enough, this is 10x worse.
Good looking welding, good tips, I would have liked to have saw the root, and hot pass run also, but I can understand that is kinda a whole different situation. God bless you brother. Work safe.
Used to weld with stainless rod a lot in 1980s it was some of the smoother operating rod I used. Make nice pretty little golden welds. Watch your eyes, the slag cools and ' pops' right off. ( I do mean ' pop ' ) Remember welding something heavy with stainless rod that ended up in my yard for years in the dirt. The steel was all corroded and rusty but the weld was still pretty and shiny.
I'm just a homeowner who does a little welding repairs around the house. I've always found stainless rods where so much easier to get a nice weld with. Would go from not even being able to strike a arc with carbon steel to laying a nice bead with the stainless.
Ciao,,volevo fare una critica, una scuola di saldatura grande e famosa come la vostra non ha un posizionatore elettrico per far girare i tubi😕😕,poi di solito si usa un elettrodo scorrevole cioè un 308 L17
Only up side to stainless stick is the money saved on not using argon . But the money saved will vary depending on if the welders are proficient at stainless stick welding.
I thought the pipe was without the timer roller,how about 6G or 5G position pipe permanently tack so we can learn for how to run the elektrode from bottom to top of the pipe and which current suitable but not for down hand only👍
back in Jr High, 8th grade u could take metal class, there was only spot welding and brazing. i liked it so much i pictured myself welding as a ground man. 10th grade had a welding class. of course, i took that as well. i believe i helped welding become a part of my life back in 8th grade, when i pictured welding in my future. I'm a believer in projecting, conjuring, manifesting our futures.
Of 15 years in this industry as a combo hand ive never seen a stainless stick roll out. My 14 year old could do that lol. Lets see that uphill 6g with insulation raining down your neck while 10 convicts are river dancing on a scaffold above you 😂
Might seem like a dumb question but I'm a newbie and trying to learn, what kind of "cross-contamination" is he talking about with the grinder? Does this actually matter?
He means contamination of regular carbon steel, or worse rusted carbon steel. See stainless, on its own is basically rust proof due to the nickel and chrome in it, however you CAN "seed" rust in stainless if it gets scratched by a piece of steel that already has rust on it. That's why your supposed to use only stainless wire brushes and fresh new grinding discs etc only used for stainless. If you get into stainless get a seperate kit with all your stainless only gear and keep it clean and away from regular welding stuff. That can include a new and seperate angle grinder that you will not use on regular stuff etc. Many people also keep a seperate kit for aluminum only etc.
Eso está perfecto, pero cuesta arriba es otra historia, lo que más me enorgullece es que tienes muchos equipos miller los mejores , hechos para durar , soy soldador y lo único que siempre e usado es miller,,, Wahoooo tiene una cst, un suite case v12 wire feeders y creo que hay una dynasty
Nice welds! Personally I don't have the patience to fill a schd 80 joint with 1/8th. I'd definitely be reaching for 5/32 minimum or even 3/16ths. Have it done in 2 passes with alot less stop starts.
Anyone with a bit of job knowledge knows that. These muppets trying to look like the big hard man, trying to act all cool and "dope", obviously dont. Theyll be the ones giving it the hard man act, sat in a hospital waiting room waiting for an outpatients appointment with an oncologist for their lung cancer, after an appointment with a pulmonary specialist for their emphysema and chronic bronchitis
70xx the 60xx setting has more dig (amperage injection when voltage gets low due to short arc. This reduces chances of snubbing out prone to 60** rods doing roots)
should have run the grinder through on your second pas to open it up so there were no slag inclusions, and a quicker smaller first pass to have a nicer valley for the second pass. nice welding though
@@halledwardb not sure, but it's an easy google search (welding positioner.) I have one for smaller stuff, it's a dividing head for a mill with an adapted motor on a potentiometer for speed control. It probably cost 400 bucks total. It'll do 5 maybe 6in pipe, but anything bigger than and you need a BIG positioner that'll run in the thousands of dollars.
I love using 316 L stick on everything I farm weld. Silicon bronze is another favorite. Got lucky and scored on out of date rod from a nuc plant contractor. I was more concerned watching the fumes in his helmet and blocking his view. I always attempt to engineer a path for the fumes away from my breathing area. Please chime in with your experiences.
Can I use this rod to weld stainless steel exhaust pipes together? I only have a shitty home buzz box and experience with 6013 rods, any information would be appreciated
Today I’m doing a combo weld exam. Sched 80, 2 inch stainless steel Root & fill with Tig Cap with 3/32 stainless stick 6G This is by far the hardest exam in my pipe welding course On top of that, it’s 107° F, record breaking heat for where I’m living (Quebec, Canada. 32° C, feels like 42°C (( 89.6°F, feels like 107.6° F)) 62% humidity I’m gonna go sweat my balls off I’ll post and update to say if I passed my bend test Update: I passed! :)

you should show us how to run it uphill, for all us plant mechanics out there...no rollouts in the maintenance shop homie!!
i hate stainless stick welding in position lol, roll outs make it easy
close to impossible on groove welds

Thanks Dave 👍

I’d love to see a 6g stainless with stick welding root.
I wanna see that too.
I got one.
Very nice. Are you protecting yourself from fumes? Are these rod's fumes dangerous? Thanks
Yes will use a respirator or papr hood normally during all stainless welding or materials with high chrome content 👍
@@cirizawelding5076 thanks 👍
Muy bonito, ahora quiero ver como lo haces en ascendente y sin darle vueltas al tubo, a ver si te queda igual
Isso isso isso✌
Stainless stick is one of my favourites, nice and smooth puddle, but if I had a dollar for every piece of that hot slag in my eyes, I'd be rich.
Wear a pair of glasses under your headshield then👍
Roll out with your left hand and use only one hand to weld stably.
The cap pass bead is perfect, too!
Good job, Weldtube fam!👍👍
keep it up!🔥🔥
Nice control of the rod. Consistency is there.. great job friend!
Super skilled craftsman... David is both a great fitter and welder...

@@900stx7 has alloys in it that help it combine with just about any crummy steel.
308L is clutch for those who don't have Tig in the field 🔥👨🏾🏭🤙🏿
Can you weld with that in all positions?
Any hot takes on running -15 vs -16 vs -17 in the 1G and 6G? 😀
Podrías da las clases en español o por lo menos con subtitulo
Ciao,,volevo fare una critica, una scuola di saldatura grande e famosa come la vostra non ha un posizionatore elettrico per far girare i tubi😕😕,poi di solito si usa un elettrodo scorrevole cioè un 308 L17
Anche la finitura non è buona.....voi siete maggiormente specializzati nel tig...
Watch my video
Why do you grind your stops?
So not to compromise the integrity of the weld
I’m currently struggling on a 6g position with stainless steel rod
I'd like to see a race, this Tig/stick process vs. Just Tig. I can't see stick being worth the trouble
Only up side to stainless stick is the money saved on not using argon . But the money saved will vary depending on if the welders are proficient at stainless stick welding.
TIG is often used for the root pass of stainless welds as the inclusion rate is lower.
Let’s see a 5g or 6g position. That’s incredibly easy to roll it out flat….
Can you tell me the reason why stainless steel rod welding often has porosity???
I thought the pipe was without the timer roller,how about 6G or 5G position pipe permanently tack so we can learn for how to run the elektrode from bottom to top of the pipe and which current suitable but not for down hand only👍
I would like to see you run up hand stainless stick. I've always had a little trouble getting it right.
In position, 5 - G.
Great 👍 video and demonstration
Is this rod made to be used in an indoor setting like plants and shops or can you get away with using it out in the field?

In 5g with a weave. Would like to see that and its possible with the right rod.
Don't breathe the smoke, that is bad news when welding stainless with stick rod.
very well put together!
Awesome job man, stainless can be a different beast sometimes. 🤘🤙
You weld it so hot it's got no choice but to lay down. Uphill is a little different story, though....
Very steady hand 👌

Which electrode and settings would you use to weld stainless steel cutlery ("flatware")?
Many thanks
Nice weld bro
Most of the electrodes are electro negative not positive

Not with stainless stick you don’t bud lol
What about stainless fumes. Are they any more dangerous that regular steel?
Definitely nasty shit
Can you do this without rotating the pipe please
Can you do one on running root and all passes with stick on stainless? sweet.
Make a video on 6 g position of stainless steel
Watch .my videos sir
Looks great but it’s downhill .against all our weld procedures show us how to weld it uphill that would be amazing
This doesn’t need to be ran uphill
This looks fun. I want to try some stainless stick!
Should be using a smoke eater with stainless stick welding.
Anyone with a bit of job knowledge knows that. These muppets trying to look like the big hard man, trying to act all cool and "dope", obviously dont.
Theyll be the ones giving it the hard man act, sat in a hospital waiting room waiting for an outpatients appointment with an oncologist for their lung cancer, after an appointment with a pulmonary specialist for their emphysema and chronic bronchitis
My welder Vulcan omino pro 220 only allows me to select 60xx or 70xx electrodes, but for stainless steel I'm using 316-L so what setting do I select?
70xx the 60xx setting has more dig (amperage injection when voltage gets low due to short arc. This reduces chances of snubbing out prone to 60** rods doing roots)
In this welding you use gas?
do you not get slag inclusion when you do that start to warm up the rod and go back over it?
.....my thoughts exactly.....
should have run the grinder through on your second pas to open it up so there were no slag inclusions, and a quicker smaller first pass to have a nicer valley for the second pass. nice welding though
If using this in a 5g position, are you welding uphill like 7018?
When doing a tie in, doesn’t the tie in included welding over your flux from arcing your weld, and create porosity
Not if you grind your tie-in first it doesnt
Who makes a pipe turning fixture like that, not super expensive? Appreciate all the videos.
For 6in+ pipe? No one.
@@InchFab who made these?

3:13 No i said a double with cheese and NO PICKLES
So u keep it at 11..a lil down right?
