morning home training vertical 7018

[vlima]

i have just finished my one month welding school course, so i bought an 140 amps inverter so i could practice at home since i couldnt still get a job. All good and bad commentarys are apreciated.

vertical welds done with 120 amps on 7018 3.25 rods

L9ooks good, if you clean (grind) off the mill scale, the undercutting may go away.

Lookin' good. As mentioned, grind all mill scale prior to welding, and if you have one, remove all slag after welding with a wire wheel. Looks like you were pausing on the left side properly, but not enough time on the right.

Keep up the good work.

i'm in welding school right now and i have been doing the vertical up also.. to get rig of the under cut pause a sec. longer but other than that its a very nice weld..

[Kangi]

Good looking welds, the little undercut you do have could easily be eliminated by changing your rod angle a little.

[tapwelder]

The undercut/underfill is so consistent I would also suggest changing rod angle.

[David R]

Looks pretty darn good to me!

mmm that IS nice! Flat face with no undercut and nice wet in at the toes. Tastey.

[Oldtimer]

Not too bad at all. And practice makes perfect---so they say.

[Bikespot]

The weld looks good , just looks a little to big of a fillet for that plate. Should only be the same thickness of the plate. Or it could just be the picture.

[vlima]

yes Bikespot, its a little big for the plate because underneath i practised a t joint with 3 passes and then i did the vertical, i need to save € on the steel.
