Overhead Stick Welding (4G D1.1 Prequalified Test)

Those Overhead Sparks Burn The Shit Out Of You!!

Thank you for the expert instruction. Learning a lot from y’all

Does anyone know if you need a backing plate on 4G òverhead welding ?

Are all 4G overhead need to have that backing plate?

Dude you are the reason why I passed my welding certs , I learned so much from your videos and utilized on my practices and I got a great improvement on my welds, thank you for your work.

I’ve been putting the stinger cord around my shoulder it takes weight off of everything so I can support my electrode hand with the other so I’m more steady so better beads haha. Is that allowed at an actual job site?

Only think I gotta ask is: what amps did you run for each pass? You said 120 amps for the root but didn’t mention any of the remaining amperage. Please let me know!

Good point on tool marks additionally letting the slag cool helps it break out of the nooks and cranies instead of shattering and having to pick it out

love the videos family

my technique's for cover pass's fill left and righ first and the midle at last🤟

Just the way it should be, keeping it simple. Awesome Bud 🤙🤙🤙

This video was so helpful. Thank you so much!

Would you be able to show the bead sequence on a structural 4g test? I’m having trouble with the cap getting some undercut on the edge of the test

I wonder when AWS was founded. I hope someone could comment reagarding this topic

I keep back angling toward end as I fatigue and blow a hole w a high spot after. I notice your rod tip is angled forward book and instructor says perpendicular rod or 10 deg back into wled pool.. how are you getting away with it what am I doing wrong.
I'm not.long arcing I'm feeling rod jam against material

1919

You bent the rod on the second pass at the beginning end that's am I right or did I not see it the rod good?? Pros help

1919

Fuckin awesome man🤘🏻

Tell the rod what to do, not the other way around. That's a great little tip. Thanks.

AWS was founded on march 28, 1919... thank you

That look more like 1/2" opening to anyone but me? Lol. Could've just been the camera lens or something....ok Now that he's welding maybe 3/8" lol

Marc Manget, American welding society. thanks learn lot from you. Thank you

AWS founded March 28, 1919. Great videos BTW.

What's happened to the " Unlimited " Test ? ?

That’s a fail just off visual. Would never make it to the bender.

I have been doing over head at 85 amps I tried it at 120 and it was drooping down way too much why is that? Can someone help? Same thing with vertical up

Should I be at a certain angel when welding over head and is it bad to push instead of pulling because I notice myself getting out of place once I’m mid ways down the weld I gotta test this Friday and I’m just wondering if it bad to start off pulling and end off pushing

Cool video, and AWS founded 1919. I'm probably too late for prize!

Is there a written test or is it just the hands on for awa certification?

Can we see a new video on keeping electrodes from sticking over and over? If there is already one please tag the video for me?

Just out of curiosity, when you are tying in a weld do you have to start back where you left off or can you start from the opposite run off tab and run back to the previous weld?

AWS. In 2006, Amazon Web Services LOL

AWS was founded in March 28, 1919.

I appreciate your informative videos. Thanks for what you do. I only have one question, where can I get a shirt like the one in the vid??

How to apply work

Would you ever have a dedicated backing strip/runon/runoff tab on a production weld, or is this only used for testing?

march 28,1919 is when AWS was founded
