I always learn something, with each new video. I have always struggled with uphill/downhill and I keep telling myself..."Listen to Austin. He said turn it down and slow down."

[Castro__welding]

Austin, thank you for your lessons. I am a 19 y/o pipe welder working on pipeline jobs in the north east. Been hard so far I have so much room to improve, people like you sharing knowledge for free really do make a huge difference. May God bless and protect you.

With 47-years of welding experience I'll give this video a grade of A 👍

[michaelrogers]

I agree with you. I have been doing that for years. It also helps that you don’t have to fill up the filler pass as much. I’ve welded with welders that we’re blowing and going, and I had to wait on them to get their filler in.

[robertpaulson]

Thank you Austin Ross. This is something i needed to hear. I’ve been struggling with over head hotpasses.

[priusrepellent]

I always look forward to a quick video to learn something new! Thanks for all your time and knowledge!

[cranerigging]

Great points and tips Austin ! That's one thing I noticed on heavier steel welding projects as the metal warmed up after a few passes we would turn amperage down a little and weld bead quality was better .
Oh at 1:34 I use that saying all the time after the Wife get's upset with me . " Looks like I have room for improvement " LOL !
Keep up the great work Austin .

[Brad]

Thank You Austin! Getting an education from every video!!!

[brockrobinson]

Always appreciate your tips and positivity Austin 👍 big thanks from up in Pennsylvania!

Thanks for the great information Austin. Stay safe and have a great weekend. Fred.

"Turn it down and slow down" is good advice for any hot pass really

[andrewmckeown]

I pretty much use the same amps I used in the root for my hot pass, so not so hot really, and get a good full fill in it. You mention about the experience that you build up in your hands and eyes that is so true, but also with what you hear especially when doing the root. Hey looks like you have a great set up in your truck ☺

Puddle control has became one of my better welds with mig i production weld all day 3-6ft vertical beads, i wanna get into pipelines a chance to really engage with stick

[wantutri]

thank you austin. these tips are awesome

[busyboyds]

Great tip. I’ve done this for years, people always said I was going to slow. Till they had to put in another stripper to get it flushed out… I’ll wait…

[Jairmyster]

Thanks for the video buddy. I got my AWS D1.1 6g pipe cert. Haven't had any luck getting on the pipeline. Hopefully eventually.

Hello Austin, I just start following you and I am learning about welding pipe, but I can not go over Hot Pass, I allways burn a hole under, can you please make a video of your position, and position of your rod and speed of traveling to make me understand where I'm doing bad? we weld 6010 Cel 70 4mm hot pass and when I get to the bottom allways something hapening and the rod burns like hell and burns the hole in the root, Thank you very much for your videos and sorry for my English,

[bartbley]

yes you are right you don't have to have a hot pass screaming hot. Big inch pipe one would grind the crown of the bead down chasing the wagon tracks till they were almost gone then put in a heavy hot pass .Then you could have a heavier hot fill . spaghetti line 3&4 " henskin .125 wall would not buff or grind the bead .Start just passed the top button kind of sweep ( wave ) till about 2 oclock then just drag almost like a bead then whip on the bottom keeping the hot pass narrow with a very tight arc so the cappers don't get mad at you for gouging out the pipe . Good video Austin

[ThatKidEverley]

What are the amperage settings for a hot pass on 7010 diameter rods? Roughly...Thanks so for 1/8, 5/32, 3/16

[hemiboy]

My welder let me do the hot pass it looked good i was just glad i didnt blow a hole because it was a CVR line that was getting xray right after
