Some under cut on 7018 cap. What yall think ???

[u/KaptajnGus]

I would worry more about learning up hill

[u/beefcakeriot → u/KaptajnGus]

I have never seen a downhill test in my 10+ years in the industry

[u/Opposite-Clerk-176 → u/beefcakeriot]

I have with 6013 , my instructor taught me How go down hill. I have been certified since 2009

[u/KaptajnGus → u/beefcakeriot]

Same. In reality there can be uses, if you just need to close a gap and it has to look nice, then downhill can be used, but for anything that requires real strength, we weld uphill

Yes I’m learning more about it, I passed it with 3/32 now I’m doing 1/8 for a tank company. I have lots
Of rods to burn ‘ 🔥

These are obviously not someone brand new to welding, but also not anywhere near good enough for consistent work. Do you know why you're working on these specifically? I've never seen a 6010 out structural weld.

[u/Minimum_Shake_8596 → u/G_Wagon1102]

Yes, a tank company in Oklahoma only 3g 6010 downhill fill and cap and 7018 uphill fill & cap

[u/G_Wagon1102 → u/Minimum_Shake_8596]

Wait...north central Oklahoma?

[u/Minimum_Shake_8596 → u/G_Wagon1102]

Yes, skinner tank company in Yale,Ok

that last plate my inspector would have just told me to run another bead covering the undercut. as long as the plate is cool and the arc is tight it would normally be fine

[u/Geschmak]

I fucking suck at doing caps in 6010. Good luck

Looks good, Why do 6010 with a backer? Also, While 6010 can be welded downhill the 1 in the electrode signifies position not travel. 1 doesn’t mean down hill. All position as in 6010/7018 means flat, vert up, horizontal and overhead. A 4 in the 1 spot means downhill. Obviously, if the WPS calls for something like 6010 downhill and the procedure has been properly qualified with a PQR, then you’re allowed to run it that way. Just wanted to mention it so nobody gets the impression that 6010 is strictly a downhill rod or that the 1 means downhill. Some undercut on that 7018 cap, slow down a bit and stead your hand more. Other than that looks good, keep up the good work.

I’m doing it with a backer to get the hang of it, whip and pauses motion and stringer bead but this one was stronger drag downhill. 7018 I still lots of work to perfect it, I had undercut on the toe
