Dual shield is awesome, and so is normal mig. Like anything, they have to be used correctly. In manufacturing, great effort is taken to use fixtures and positioners to make every weld in the flat position, on perfectly clean metal, with no breeze, with weld parameters that insure penetration by...

What I'm saying is that when cat has those problems, what do you think other manufacturers are like?

That would be super cool to build that stuff.

It's been a few years since I've done production work (14/15), but robots are used only on very large run parts and then only on welds that prove problematic or are deemed critical. I used to build the rops on John Deere combines and backhoes, and out of the hundreds of welds the only ones that...

If your machine is dc only, that's what you want. Let's look into shipping, and I'll see what i can scrounge up. Considering rod is about 3 bucks a pound, it might be worth it. What machine do you got? Lol thx Cory :)

Sure thing. You need some cellulose ones too? After they have been open a bit they pitch the whole 50 pound can. 1/8 to 3/16 8010, and 3/32 to 5/32 6010. They have to pitch them because no one carries a rod oven. All dc rods tho, which I'm sure is no problem. I use ammo cabs to keep my stuff...

Depends what we're doing exactly, but about everything out here is 6010 bead, 8010 out. We're running 8p+, runs really nice :) brand new 7018 for inservice welds, such as a short stop or stopple.

Lol Jim I'm sure you know that i actually use xx10 rods for about everything right? About as far from low hydrogen as you can get. But on that piece, with the forces in play, low hydrogen would definitely be a wise choice for the ductility and toughness, and less likely to tear out the heat...

That would be a wise move there

I hate to say it, but it's fairly typical. Bad design on the weldment, and terrible execution. I would bet good money on the fact the weld was attempted in position, and hardwire mig (what is was built with) is absolutely horrible in position. When you have the next guy weld it on, if he shows...
