6010?

admin

what should a 10 gauge vertical t-joint welded uphill with 1/8" 6010 look like?!
Reply:after chipping it off and cleaning it you should be able to get a pretty decent bead although it would be pretty hard for a begineer to pull it off because thats the thinest material you would start doing vert up with stick genraly speakingCigweld Transmig 265seBoc 140amp StickBoss 200amp AC/DC TIGLincoln Electric Invertec V260-S

Reply:indamix - your beads are good enough to advance beyond running stringers beads, do this by welding different joints configurations, in different rotations.   E6010 [5P] is in a class of its own.   In all positions it will weld through rust, paint, grease, tar, and even through heavy zinc plating.  With its fast-freeze characteristics you can paint a picture at arms length.  My first welding job in 1973 was building 3200 gal. fuel tanks for 10 wheel fuel delivery trucks.  My part was all of the inside welding; both heads and two baffles [heads with the flanges turned in a bit with a 16" cresent] amounting to 78 ft. of weld.  The entire tank was 10ga. [1/8"] and welded with 5/32" rod.  Except for the weepers all of the joints were lap joints and welded down-hand.  5/32" was used because 1/8" would not produce the desired weld size.  On material this thin: you don't occilate, you turn up the heat, keep a very short arc and go really fassst.  If I were welding a 10ga. tee-joint I would do it down-hand [verticle down] and for assured penetration, gap the joint with a .035" or .045" weld wire when tacking.    Opus

Reply:Theirs nothing saying you have to whip a 6010, personally myself if i ever have to do fillets with 6010 i will weave and not whip whatsoever. Try running it as though your running a 7018, as for T-Joints, fast across the middle pause on the sides.
Reply:I've never had success with simply dragging a 6010/11 along like a 7018.  Whip and pause, or small circles works for me.MM350P/Python/Q300MM175/Q300DialarcHFHTP MIG200PowCon300SMHypertherm380ThermalArc185Purox oaF350CrewCab4x4LoadNGo utilitybedBobcat250XMT304/Optima/SpoolmaticSuitcase12RC/Q300Suitcase8RC/Q400Passport/Q300Smith op

Reply:by rights theirs no way you should be using 6010 out in the field for structural joints in the first place. but i understand this is school and that your practicing. Your going to get a much more asthetically pleasing weld if you work the puddle like a 7018. They made 6010 for its fast freeze chracteristics which is most desired for pipe. Ive burnt a sickening about of 6010 on pipe, of course i do prefer when i have to do jobs that require tig roots. Ill do one quickly and post a picture. Of both methods. As for "only" preforming a weave in the vertical position im not sure what code book your reading? I leave all my structural welding to my apprentices but its not uncommon at all to incorperate a weave in various structural joints. Mind you if you started doing like a 1" weave thats a little excessive.
