Great videos, well presented. Refreshing to see someone act human and themselves. In my 30 years as a fabricator welder I'd never heard of dcen with 7018 for a 3g open root. From the images you have shown it does seem to wash in smother and more consistently. Will be trying it for sure. A test coupon in one thing but in the field when you have many meters to weld it's often hard to maintain a perfect prep gap and face. Can dcen handle gap inconsistencies better than dcep. Thanks for you're feed back in advance.

Awesome video, completely agree the metric system should be the world standard!

I've never welded 7018 dcen, I think I'm going to have to try it.
Thanks

I am so happy that I found your channel, I almost gone crazy in finding out how to weld an open root here in Sweden, as you say 6010 rod is almost impossible to find, and even the most common welding shops dont even know that they exists, and they cant even suggest a similar rod that can be bought in Sweden. There is also a different situation with 6013, they dont like to use it in the states while here in Sweden it is a common used rods. I am confused about the whole situation, and as a beginner it makes no sense. They even on some videos dont recommend 7018 as a root pass rod, just for the filler weld. It was a great releif when you said that you never seen or come across the 6010/6011 rods in Sweden, you made my life and my head less confused. Thanks!!!

Hi! This is the best channel for EU welders. Thank you for making these videos !

I watched your video early and thought you were using 6010 vertical up with dc-, so I gave it a try, 3/8 plate 37 deg 3/32 land and face, Lincoln 6010 5p 1/8 ", Lincoln Ranger 8 set at about 80 amps DC - it actually went in a lot better than DC + . Not a professional welder just trying to master the 3g 6010 vertical up and down . Awesome video .

I’m practicing for a vertical up test for my oilfield job here, you’ve been a giant help!! If you’re ever out here near Pittsburgh, I’ll gladly get you on some 6010 pipe for all the help!!

Great video man I’m practicing this test for a 3g and 4g 7018 open butt with back grind for a job In the ironworkers building a new structure for Mercedes

Great video. AC?
I hear 7016 is a thing in Europe. I'm Oregon, United States of America.

[microgamer]

Slick with those roots I'm impressed

[erickonjer]

Really enjoying your video's! I am doing my butweld test in 14 days from now. In PE and PF. Your vids are really helpfull to me. Because i'm dutch we also dont use this 6010 Rod and use 7018 all the way.

underbart, tack för video, lär jänkarna nu

Hej
I just won't to say you are doing extremely good job with this videos. They are extremely good and practical for somebody who wants to learn welding procedures. As of 6010 electrodes i have work with it couple of years and in my experience they are much easier to work with than 7018. If you would like to do video with them i can send you one package. all the best, regards from Göteborg

Excellent video bro thanks .if you can root plate and pipe so perfect using 7018 then using 6010 6011 will be a walk in the park for you .👍👍👍

We did SMAW E7018 Open roots on window welds in boiler tube window welds. The Stick electrode allows for the widow to be cut back a little farther than with TIG and the circumferential weld was much easier. The OK48 2MM worked well. That coupled with a remote amperage control and they were pretty slick.

I prefer E6011 to E6010, useful for fighting arc blow. I can also get many of them from China.

I only weld on AC by the way.

I also need AC for my twin carbon arc torch.

Great video I totally agree how you do it I also use7018 dcen on a open root I'm from Australia I don't like the idea of having to around box's of different electrodes when you can use one standard electrode yes I've used 6010 and 6011 there's not much difference in speed on how fast it can be done it may look alittle bit more uniform but if it's enough to pass it's done it's job
