6010 Downhill Welding open root 8” pipe

Welcome back to Schofield Welding. In. This episode we are talking about 6010 Hobart Rod down hill welding. Okay so most of you know Fab Tech is well on its way here which we are excited about. We have been asked to do some welding demonstrations at the Miller welding booth, the Lincoln welding booth, ESAB welding booth, hypertherm plasma booth and quite a few others. The demo at the miller welding booth is a downhill Hobart 6010 bead and Hobart 8010 out to the cap. So before this video I had only actually welded with this rod on 3 previous coupons and let’s be honost, it didn’t go great. That rod was giving me trouble on my root pass. Undercutting EVERYTHING!!!! suck back excessive bead you name it it did it. So in this video you guys can come with me as we figure out how to weld with it. Be blessed

You are a stand up dude Jacob. It takes a grown ass man to admit his mistakes. You are a role model son.

I took a welding class in high school, but became an architect. I love my career, but I really enjoyed welding. Watching your videos makes we want to go back to class to brush up on my skills and make a hobby or side gig with it!

Jacob I own a lawn mowing company and tree service . Watching your video's has got me very interested in learning how to weld. Thank you for your time and videos.

Always learning. Always moving forward. I watch the last one and had questions about that and figured it would be good with the procedure for a gas company. But it’s all about learning. Great video. Hands down the best welding channel on YouTube. Thank you sir!!

[erdemtanju]

thanks a lot great post, watched it at 02:04 AM, went through the whole video

[mackmcelroy]

Keep on keeping on Schofield!! You care, and that’s what makes you, You!!

that camper park reminds me of a place i stayed at called North Gold RV park in Ross, ND.

I normally use the DCEP, DCEN, AC vernacular, there's never any confusion that way.

[devinlancaster]

Thanks for the educational video. It was nice meeting you at Fab Tech for the downhill demonstration.

Remember kids, if you run TIG on reverse polarity you'll send all the heat into the tungsten and melt that sucker.

Way to be open and honest and as always, humble! Great welding channel man!

Good video Jacob. I just always remember it as DCSP meaning electrode is the Negative (-) and ground was Positive(+). That was for SMAW. DCRP was just reverse of DCSP. My problem was trying to remember what rod run in which polarity. I know some rods will run in both AC, DC, DCSP and DCRP until I found a little chart in a book one time and I recorded it in my pipe fitters blue book.


Positions: (3rd digit in a 4 digit rod)
1 -- Indicates all positions for rods
2 - Flat or horizontal
3 - deep groove


Current: ( Last digit in 4 digit rod)
0 - DCRP only
1 - AC and DCRP
2 - AC and DCSP
3 - AC and DC
4 - AC and DC
5 - DCRP only
6 - AC and DCRP
8 - AC and DCRP


Hope that helps someone.

Yes, reverse polarity for a 6010, 7018, your lo-hy's, but straight polarity works best for a 6011, 7024, 6013 etc...polarity depends on the rod's characteristics.

Always Learning, that's part of what makes welding fun Great Video nice tutorial, nice job. Thanks

[bernhard]

hey man i been pipelining for a little over 15yrs and we all learn something new everyday so dont be hard on yourself most ppl cant do what we do everyday and be away from home all at the same time you do good keep it up brother maybe we will run into each other on a job one day out on the line :) <3

Hi, nice to see u are learning what ur friend said it was true, I also did welding at the training center I find also little confused too I was told, always start welding from the bottom to the top, but u did downward. I wish I have that kind of job u have.

[SnoPro]

Dunno if itd be useful for you or not, but tweco makes a quick connector for your leads. I have a set hanging off my bobcat about 18 inches with the female ends and then my leads have the Male ends on them. I can disconnect my leads and store them in my truck and if I need more lead I have extension cords that I connect to. I dont pipe weld but I do a lot of onsite fabrication that doesn't allow me to park closer then 50 foot to where I'm welding so being able to bring extra cord along is pretty nice!

[regmair]

Looks like you're the video.Stick with the winners and never lose the focus.

[downhilldaddy]

Yes, I could tell right away that it sounded different as soon as you put those tacks in.

[richardsolomon]

Great video Jacob, love the honesty in your work so pleasing to see you get the bottom to stand in. Nice hoodies to bro.
