6010 5/32' Open Root Practice

Subscribe to my channel for more weekly videos.

Here is another episode about stick welding open roots with 6010 and other XX10 rods.

In this video you will see lots of clear Arc Shots and explanations of how to weld an open root with a 5/32” 6010

Why 5/32”?

Because its common practice in API 1104 pipe welding to use 5/32” 6010 for 12 inch and above…sometimes even 6 inch pipe..

5/32” electrodes are much faster than 1/8” and require fewer restarts.

And after the root….3/16” rods are commonly used for downhill fill and cap passes on large diameter pipe.

This is using plate but a Pipe video is coming soon….This is all geared toward building the skills for pipe welding.

If I were 20 years old again and in welding school, I would watch this video at least 10 times.

That is how valuable I think it is for students and anyone working on pipe welding skills using downhill XX10.

hope this helps

Not seen a lot of stirring the puddle like that. Very cool and informative to knock those undercuts out.

Great video guys. Andrew, please come back and visit as often as you can. I'm about to break out as a pipe welder, so I need as many tips from ya'll as I can get. Great one today. Of course, I struggle with the 3/16 cap on the bottom. Thank you !

Nice job. I tried to do 5/32 regular 5p vertical down today and it came out terrible. I had a 3/32 landing and gap I'm gonna try it this way

Hey Jody, love your videos man. I'm working on my certs to weld and getting a degree in it and anytime I'm hung up on something I know your channel has exactly what I need. They really are Welding Tips and Tricks. I like that stand you have from Triangle Egineering, I was just wondering if you still have the list of all the stuff it came with. I'm trying to see how much it's going to cost to start setting my garage up as my start up shop later on down the road. Thanks and Keep it up!

. I am a welder at contruction machinery in indonesia, iam learn trik welding SMAW from yours chanel

[davesmith]

Thanks for info & tips. - I'm just a beginner practicing on my own. I have a hell of a time running Lincoln 1/8" 6010 on my Thermal Arc 181i (DCEP). My rod either won't stay lit or sticks & ends up a red hot. I've heard that some 3 in 1 DC only machines won't run 6010. I'm not sure if that's the case here. Thanks again for another great vid.

Awesome video. Will you be etching those plates? Etching is like opening a chest and not knowing what's inside🙂

Got to meet Andrew Saturday at our company meeting
