This is LITERALLY THE BEST HANDS DOWN explanation I've ever seen! My teachers don't even describe this and I've been wanting DEEP explanation not just simple. They never told me about the prepping part it was all computer and I did read it but never experienced it first hand and seeing this I'm saving it so I know in future tests what to so because like I said he breaks it down to an absolute T. THANK YOU!
This was great i didn't go to welding school i just bought a welder an started welding. Ive been practicing stacking beads for a while now. I'm going build a welding tree out of unistrut and try this 2G open root
Thank you sir for the instruction very good demonstration sir i'am a beginer welder in smaw. I wish you can more create video like 1g to 4g in metal plate. And 1g to 6g in pipe. More power to you sir and god bless
Are you in welding school? I just recently figured out how to do the E6010 root pass. I prefer a 1/8” gap and land and run the 1/8” E6010 on 85 amps. It requires very little manipulation.
@@patriotskingnation8084 Don't stop the grinder in the middle. It take very little pressure to grind, so let the tool do the work, and move all the way down the plate. Good luck!
Awesome video buddy 💯 thank u so much for this the only critique i can give is ur tie ins their a little choppy bc wen u restarted u restarted right where u stopped instead of starting ahead a little bit and going back to trace in the crater
I have a good tip for 2g , when going along the metal on stringer beads make sure to press the weld upward cause it comes down with gravity , so where you want your weld to be , keep ur like 2 cm over
Are you opting for 3/32 on your fill pass due to the u shape manipulation? Ive been using 1/8 for the most part but i assume it may build up to much with rod manipulation.
Can y'all show a ceramic tape 2g and 3g. Which alot of shipyards require in Mississippi.. Actually philly shipyard wants an 18" plate which makes you stop and start on root to show a good time in. Thank you Dual shield flux core .052 wire
Hey Dom. Thank you to you and all you guys there for putting in the time and effort to make these videos. I've been following you guys for a while now and realy enjoy your videos. Really helpful, some really good stuff, thanks! So, I have a question for you. You said that you like to start your route weld on the top plate. I don't want to sound like some kind of know it all. I'm not! I had a 3G coding, almost 30 years ago and try to use logical reasoning as much as possible. If you look at Time code 19:26 on the video play back, it shows a lack of fusion and trapped inclusion. Would I be correct in saying that there was no moulten metal on the bottom plate, for the top plate to tie into and as the moulten melal on the top plate touched the colder metal on the bottom plate it got cold shock and shrunk, causing lack of fusion and perosity / trapped inclusion? Would starting on the bottom plate have solved this problem? I know they don't use the ends of the test plates, but if I was welding pipe and it was a test piece, it would make a big difference, as some examiners don't allow you a grinder. The reason I am asking is because, I am a Saturation Diver and I am seriously considering going back to welding and completing all the tickets all the way to 6G. Please dont feel that I am being disrespectful in any way? You didn't mention any thing about this and continued to weld over it. That is why I am asking.
In the PPE talk you do not mention nor use the use of a face mask (and you have a beard which would prevent a good seal). You get a lot of airborne fine dust especially using the flapper wheel. You probably have some LEV in the booth though to help. Other wise a first class instructive video. It is worth mentioning the change in sound when you are getting good root penetration to when the gap may close and you start to lose it.
Go on weld tube. I’m assuming you want pipeline is usually downhill welding easier to learn but have to be quicker in my opinion since is all about speed
So for 3/32 gap and a 3/32 or even 1/8th landing using a 1/8th 6010 electrode my amperage should be around 75? What would be the heat range for this set up. Thanks!
If you have a 3/32" gap and 3/32" land or a 1/8" gap and 1/8" land then you can run anywhere between 75-85 amps for the root pass using a Lincoln Electric 1/8" E6010 5P+ rod. When you run it at 75 amps, you will have to go a little slower because remember "amps equals heat." You will have to go a little bit slower because you won't fully penetrate the gap onto the back side if you go too fast. I personally like to put a 1/8" gap and 1/8" land on my 3/8" plate with 37.5 degrees of bevel. I run my amperage at 85 amps and I make sure to keep the rod pushed into the front half of the keyhole. You should feel light pressure as you keep the rod pushed up inside the keyhole where it brushes/nudges against the front rim of the keyhole. You shouldn't have to manipulate the rod very much. Many people think you have to really whip the rod around, which ends up making a mess. All you do is keep the tip of the burning rod pushed into the front half of the keyhole and gradually nudge the gap edges (front/leading rim of the keyhole) and it will melt away, causing your keyhole to extend forward some. However, the metal you are melting from the rod tip will also trickle into the back half of the keyhole and fill it in as you continue nudging forward with the tip of the rod. So basically the keyhole will essentially follow the tip of the rod if you are keeping it up in there. You can nudge forward with tiny little cursive e movements (tight little tiny circles), but it's very small, which is why I keep saying "nudge". The key to the root pass is keep the rod pushed up into the keyhole at the front or leading edge of the keyhole. If you don't see a small keyhole then you are not penetrating through to the back side, so you must always see a keyhole throughout until the end. Keep the rod pointed up slightly toward the top root land (little asterisk here in my depiction) throughout the root pass and make small little wiggles/nudges forward. Make sure you see the keyhole stay centered along the length of the gap. You will see the back side of the keyhole fill in on it's on if you have your amperage set right at about 80-85 amps (|(|(|(|(|(|(|(|(|(|( *)===================== (weld example here is a root pass from left to right)

So much good info thank you sir. My instructor would never go into this much detail.
The root on 6010 is such a struggle for me sometimes
See my reply below under Cody Barksdale's post
I hate backing plates and trying to penetrate with 6010. Trying open root today at school instead.

@@user-hn9qg5qm3o after the plate is being tacked. What causes the huge middle gap in the middle is it because of pushing the grinder too hard or ?
@@patriotskingnation8084 I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking about. Can you further explain?
@@patriotskingnation8084 Don't stop the grinder in the middle. It take very little pressure to grind, so let the tool do the work, and move all the way down the plate. Good luck!
@@user-hn9qg5qm3o He is digging with the grinder, stopping at the middle of the plate, So the edges are not true.

Nice job young man.
Great information & details, Thank you
Thank you so much your so good to demonstrate clear sir, keep it up 💪👍
Thanks Sir..Solid followers in your Channel.
EXCELENTE VIDEO¡¡ SALUDOS Y GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR SUS CONOCIMIENTOS¡¡
Tenkyou for helping me with your tips
True that, real good instructions, very good..
ok? Seriously, great video and technique explanation.
Thank you sir for the instruction.excellent.God bless.
I'm using a 6011 in my root pass and my key hole is looking good.
Most important part of the video “do not have any fear in your heart” hy
nice and thorough. Good job young man.
Nicely done
Awesome instructor
Bravo, this is one of the best videos I have seen in 10 years on tube on open groove welds.....you nailed it....Cheers from Florida, Paul
Thanks idol.from Philippines
Great video great instructor
At 16:13 he starts welding. The best open root with 6010 you will ever see.
You're very funny.
Great Video!
thanks for the informative video!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍
FINALLY you guys post a good welder. The other guy was JOKE
*What Other Guy?*
You comment on every video saying the same thing. Go watch something else damn
@@cookd31 right. How'd you like to work with that guy?
Thanks for teaching sir

Guess they don't reply to such?
What was your arc control?
Great welder!
how come we dont see any videos where it would take 6-8 rods just to get around the joint once and 8-12 passes to make 1 layer
Good lecture
Nice work man, but why are u using tig gloves when stick welding jw
E6010 do you use positive or negative wire for welding please tell me
Why not just use a 7018 for the hot?
Very interesting
How thick are those plates?

what angle is your bevel ?
The root pass is so hard for me
what are those kinds off shirts?
Can you do a video on API 1104
Go on weld tube. I’m assuming you want pipeline is usually downhill welding easier to learn but have to be quicker in my opinion since is all about speed
Beautiful
Should not weave with your hot pass, should be straight stringer runs. You are putting in too much heat by weaving.
nice welding

That’s a failed test though too Mitch underscut

What about arc control
I got to use 1/8th gap and same thing with landing
Which diameter of roading is that 6010
2.5mm
Nice brand new gloves lol
Unbelievable Mr instructor how long have you been doing this? No wonder scrubless right???
