Messing around w/ 7018

admin

was cleaning up the shed and decided to mess around with some 7018. The plate is a 1/4 T joint. Thermal Arc 186, 5/32 7018 (Hobart AC rod), DCEP 155 amps, hot start at 50.Last edited by yammahoppy; 09-27-2013 at 08:30 PM.

Reply:It looks like your electrode angle changed half way across your weld. You can see a we bit of undercut on the vertical piece the first half of your weld. Then you changed your electrode angle and maybe your travel speed a bit. and the undercut went away. That's a good sign when you are able to recognize an issue then make a change to correct it when stick welding.
