- Welcome to weld.com, got the cub back here, G.
- What's up OG?
- How you doin'? - Doin' good.
- I'm going to teach you how to do a little fill and cap.
Couple of weeks ago, we ran this hard wire route.
And we were using the positioner here for a roll out.
So we stayed stationary.
We're welding here about 10:30, 11 o'clock
and we raked this short arc bevel in here
and got 100% pin, now we're going to do subsequent fill passes.
This schedule 86 inch, we're going to run an
O45 ESAB 710X-M.
What I would like to see happen, I mean
you know we could really hog down
and fill this thing up in one pass,
and I don't like doin' that.
I'd rather go into it, do subsequent fills.
So we're going to do two passes of fill.
- [Cub] Two passes.
- [OG] Very little weave, want this thing to kind of
flush up a little bit leave a little bit
of room, then we're going to go back
in here and put a, let's put a
two beads cap in it.
- Two beads cap.
- Because this is wide enough,
I mean we can sit here and weave
it in but I just don't want to do that.
I'd rather just do a nice
two bead stringer cap in here.
It'll go fairly quick, again we're rolling out,
you just need to get comfortable over here.
I believe we've got our machine
set at somewhere in the neighborhood
of 23.5 on the voltage,
260 on wire feed speed. - 260, yep.
Again we've got O45, we're running C25
about 25 cubic feet per hour. - 25.
So, I'm going to run a little bit of this
and make sure that it's set right.
You know we don't want to get into
a lot of spatter, we don't want to get into piping porosity,
we may have to change some values
so those are the two things that
we're looking for as far as settings.
And when I ran that route I was grounded
into the quick disconnect wire
and I thought it was kind of fluttering
a little bit, today I'm grounded directly into
the stud back there, it'll rotate but we'll be all right.
- Cool. - I think we need to get us
a exhaust hood over here and plug it in.
- All right, I'll get that over here.
- Yep - All right, let's do it.
(welding sounds)
Mike, I'm going to stay up here at about 11 o'clock.
- [Mike] All right.
- [OG] I'm going to stay three quarter stick out.
- [Mike] All right.
- [OG] And I've got a very slight weave
going back and forth.
I've already bust the glass out on the toe
of the weld, we really didn't even need to do that.
So this will leave room for another fill pass.
- [Mike] Okay.
(welding sounds)
I'm going to leave that speed alone.
(metal clanking)
(grinder grinding)
- All right, let's say you're stopped right here.
Would you grind this out right here?
Or just start right back here and run over it?
- [OG] I'd start real close to the crater.
- [Mike] Right to the crater?
- [OG] I've run enough of this stuff,
it runs hot enough, blends in.
- [Mike] All right.
- [OG] I mean we inspect this visually,
if it looks like a great big ol' cold shoulder,
you could touch that with a grinder.
But I can assure you that's not one of 'em.
- [Mike] I didn't get all this spatter out,
would that burn away?
- [OG] Yeah.
- [Mike] That's it.
- [OG] I may you know, stay up here a little taller
up in here and I sped this up just a little bit.
Again, we're going to go in and put another fill pass in.
- [Mike] All right.
- [OG] Which will bring it up to I want to say 332nd.
- [Mike] Gotcha, 332nd from the top of this?
- [OG] Right.
- [Mike] All right.
- Go on in with the weld, it looks nice.
I mean it's got a good profile, so just start right here.
Because when we finish this and we wire wheel it, and clean
it off, clean the slag off of it.
If we need to hit that high spot we will,
just to blend it in.
But again, I've run across these thousands of times,
and they pretty much blend in, no big deal.
- Gotcha.
- Okay?
- Yep.
- All right Mike, pull the trigger.
- All right, going hot.
(welding sounds)
- [OG] I'm speeding you up a little bit, because it looks
like you're angling the gun back down the pipe.
Shorten up your ark length, or your stick out.
Keep it just like that.
(welding sounds)
- [Mike] And by the way, this wire is very forgiving.
- [OG] Roll up onto that.
Right there.
Okay?
- Awesome, that was fun.
- Hey Mike, you remember when we toured
the 3rd corporation in Milwaukee?
- Yeah that's good.
- [OG] They gave us some of these encapsulated wire wheels.
These things are cool because as you're using 'em,
these wires don't break down, they don't revel off.
You know how you've been using these and you got wires
stuck in your belly and in your jeans and what not?
- [Mike] Yeah you take it home and you put
it in the washing and your girl yells at you and everything?
Yeah, all that stuff.
- Sounds kind of personal Mike.
(grinder grinding)
So really I'm just kind of concentrating
over the weld, knocking this slag back.
Done, we got a decent profile here.
We've got a little bit of spatter but not bad.
- Yeah it looks like it'll knock off real easy.
And that stuff is forgiving.
There was some movements I shook a little bit too much,
I thought it would show up, but it's real good,
that's good wire.
- Stuff's like pouring butter in there.
- [Mike] Yeah it really is.
- [OG] It really doesn't have a ripple pattern
to the weld, you're going to like this next move.
- Sweet.
- All right, this last pass I'm going to put in here.
You said you were kind of shaking a little bit, I saw
you eating some smoke.
I'm feeling really lazy now, so I'm going to use
the fixture over here and just kind of rest it in here.
It's not tight, it's not clamped.
Because I want to oscillate this back and forth.
I'm going to run a little bit, and I'm going to
turn it over to you.
I think this speed is about right, but again if I needed
to I could stand here and adjust it.
Then once I got it set for sure, I could run
the rest of it out.
We want to run this pass and leave it slightly low,
'cause we're running.
- Two fill, two caps.
- Yeah we're going to run a two bead cap so.
(welding sounds)
So again, I'm just moving the wire back and forth
about an eighth of an inch.
- [Mike] All right.
- 'Cause I want to leave those edges in there.
They're going to be a guide, it's fillin' up
and blendin' in to the toe nicely.
We really don't, I'm not worried about buffing
this off, I will go over there and hit
that slag where I started.
So when you come around and tie into it.
- [Mike] All right.
- I've done a lot of these welds where you're sitting
in a position here and you've got things organized
while you're welding along.
You can reach underneath here with a file and tap
that start, where the slag is.
But I've also welded through the slag, I mean I've come
up on it and it's done absolutely nothing.
It's been a good 100% extra.
(welding sounds)
(grinder grinding)
All right we've got our fill pass in,
our 2nd fill pass in and we're up just a little flush.
We're using the cheater here so what I'm going to do now,
is I'm going to move this past center.
So that I can kind of point my wire back into that toe
just a little bit.
Then I'm going to weave this very very little,
but while I'm doin' that, I could adjust this angle
in and out, whatever I don't like and I can adjust my speed.
What do you think?
I'll put the first pass in, you can do the last one.
- All right.
(welding sounds)
- Mike come look at this, the toe of the weld
on my side to make sure that it runs consistently
over the edge.
Got my hand on the speed knob, basically I'm doing nothing
other than trying to stay awake.
You know what I mean?
(metal clanking)
Turn the wire speed down a little bit.
Because that was a mistake.
Mike I missed an adjustment here a minute ago,
I kind of turned and softened up the wire on this a little
bit and that was a mistake.
Because, I threw some buck shots.
So I had to get after this thing with a file,
and then I wire wheeled it.
Anyway, I didn't have my pliers sitting here, or I would
have picked this slag off of this start when it came around.
So I stopped just short of it.
What we're going to do now is, we're going to start here,
and as it comes around to this part.
We're just going to reach over and blend these two beads
together, and then we're going to continue on.
I'm going to run just a little bit and then we will clean
this start, and that way you won't have to worry
about it when you restart.
You can just tie right into it when you're done.
- [Mike] All right.
- I have moved our mechanism back over here, more inline.
So again, your wire angle, and stick out and everything
is right here.
- [Mike] Awesome.
- [OG] I've made another value adjustment to see
if we can't get rid of this spatter a little bit.
- All right.
- As with the rules of stringer beads,
you know, we're going to try to blend in a good 3rd
into this bead here and into the toe of the weld.
Okay?
- Yeah.
(welding sounds)
- So I'm like moving the wire about 332nd, barely moving
it back and forth.
(welding sounds)
- Left handed.
- Whoa!
I made yet another value change.
These soft wires are cool, they're designed to run
a little cooler, but you got to remember every
machine is different too.
So I think that last value change we got rid of the majority
of the spatter.
- [Mike] Yeah we did.
- [OG] A couple of blending issues, you see a ridge down
through the middle of that.
That's where we.
- [Mike] I should've came over on half.
- [OG] Well that's where we fixed, and that's where I ran
this one here and you see how they're kind of blended
up into the half part of it.
This part where you started is nice.
You know, you were up into this bead, and it doesn't
create that hard ridge in the middle of it.
I like to see that.
(metal clanking)
- [Mike] The hard ridge that creates a what, a crack?
It can or what's the hard ridge do?
- [OG] It's not a crack it just look funny.
- [Mike] No it can?
- [OG] Stressor izer.
- [Mike] Stressor izer, okay.
- I mean it blended, your toes are blended,
you got, I think our ground popped off right there.
Got a little porosity, we can fix that.
Then when you restarted, now we're out on this side
of the pipe and we got that ridge again.
So it's just something to get used to, but you can see
the benefit of speed, deposition.
You get used to this and fit your numbers and you can
sit here and crank out some welds.
I mean quick.
So you can see the benefits of this stuff.
It's a fast deposition, you're sitting here 10:30,
11 o'clock, rolling in there so.
Got good mechanics, you can look up all the specs
on it for elongation and charpy v notch.
You do know what charpy is don't you?
No, we'll discuss that in another video.

Thanks for watching weld.com.
- Thank you.
- Does that bother you?
- No.
- How 'about when you're welding?
- I can make it good.
- Is that going to bother you when you weld?
- I'll be all right, I can tough it up.
(laughs)
- We're going to test out your ability to concentrate.
- All right.
