This video will show you how to weld a 2g horizontal test plate with a mig welder gmaw and pass it along with how to cut out the pieces and bend them also how to scarf off the backing strip. In the part with the torch it looks like the flame is not set correctly but it is, it just does not pick up well on the camcorder If you have any how to requests on anything in general let me know ill be happy to make a video for you

nice clear vid! (as opposed to the fuzzy ones out there)
2g is a Horizontal Grove weld.
2g = Horizontal Butt Weld?? the number is the position and the g is the type of weld.
whats a 2g horizontal test plate?
welders are always fuckin know it alls, just watch the fucking video, and stop trying to sound like you know everything
if i do rember correctly there was a defect in the root bend
watch parts 2 and 3 u will see i bend it and it comes out perfect
that would NEVER pass a guided bend test!
short circuit transfer may look good, but it WILL fracture if you cut coupons out of that and bend them
listen to the guys that have recommended spray transfer
that’s why GMAW is not used much fro anything structural (aside from fitting)
* remember to use at least 85% argon in your shielding gas mix to achieve a spray transfer
good luck
id prefer to use the spray transfer with a test like this. id have to agree with some of the others that higher settings more specifically “the spray transfer” would give much better quality. short circuiting the weld will hold it together and preheat always helps. spray is better though for this.
to cold you should be at 23-24 volts 4of speed your welding source should indicate 200-220 amps
lol 5:39
start and stops must be longer i dont know if weld weldox or hardox that not be good…
nice weld … but what’s with the backing plate? I remember we had to weld it without a backing plate (tacked up with 1/8″ spacer) and you failed if your penetration was more than a 1/16″ on the backside.
Brings back good memories when I was taking welding in college
)
Wow! you weld cold dude. With a setting that low i could have time to write my name in the weld
couldn’t have said it any better myself m8 fuckin bang on !!lol
ya ok lets see u weld
you need more practice dude.
why is it that when i weld like that, the steel plate bends and buckles from the heat! what could i be doing wrong?
haha funny put up some videos
temp 18.6 and it was not an x ray i was a bend check out the 3rd video to see how it came out. second that was my second one i ever did in my life. its not cold welding. if your a good welder you should be able to push it or drag it and have the same results. i check out your videos and it really does not show how its done or what your doing there is no explaining on anything
you herd the man, put up or shut up.
you welding nerds are worse than star trek nerds. you fucks all argue over every little detail about everything. go play with your captain kirk action figures.
i dont know who told you to make little circles and drag your weld but thats wrong ……i bet you got glass trapped in the weld…..and that test plate passed X-ray ??????….dude LoL….first off what temp is the G2 plates? 2nd ..your welder sounds like it’s cold welding ….try turning the heat up and burn that weld in……3rd push your weld dont drag it.if you want too see a good weld just look at a couple of my vids…..LoL
colorado, where are you from maybe you can show me some stuff they do out in the field
what area are u from
