AWS D1.1 SMAW 3G Qualification Test

entertaining? more like very helpful and informative :P. JK you were entertaining

thx for vid !

Jesus died and rose for us . He loves u !! We should live and obey Him !! (your choice) .

Not nitpicking however the statement about D1.1 "Requiring" Mill scale to be removed is incorrect. "Loose scale, thick scale, and rust...." are addressed. Still, another incredible video!!!

I’ve been practicing on 3/8 plate with 1/8 rod, 1/4 gap and 22.5 bevel and after my second weave pass I’m already almost flush and do 2 more passes to cap. Is that ok or am I missing something? Not sure how you made 7 passes on that and still finished less than 1/8 above the base metal

I love this man!! I’m going to my first welding competition this weekend, I’ve only been welding for a couple months so I’m taking all the tips I can. This was a huge help, showed me what I can improve on. Cheers!

What size rod?

where can i find a hood like that

What size rods are you using?

Weld cert in the morning. I know I can do it, just helps to watch the vids. Thanks for the commentary. Helps a lot

I do a weave for this plate and my starting tab always gobs up and leave a low spot at the very start of the joint. How do I build it up better and not have it flow down?

Very helpful. Taking this test tonight. Big help

Hi just a quick question. I am welding my cwb vertical 3g and our plates are 90 degrees and 30 degrees. I was told to do a root stringer on both sides with stops and starts. Then all the following passes are in a weave. Is this up to the discretion of the inspector or would stringers be more widely accepted?

Good job.

Did you stay at 110 Amps the whole time?

I was always told weld away from ground no matter the size rod

Any tips for getting the root pass to lay flatter while tying into both bevels and backing strip ? I'm struggling with that aspect of this test .

Hey brother how you doing today I'd like to know where I can get one of those pencils

Good

Did you use 3/32 all the way?

Woohoooo

Decent prints tbh

Makes me look like a horrible welder. I’ve tried 30 of these plates so far. Only way for my weld to look like his is 117 Amps and 3 rods. Idk how you do it

Thank you very much

Amazing video! Thank you

Great video. Good welding and good teaching. You didn’t mention a travel angle and on your cover layer you mentioned a right to left electrode orientation change, but I couldn’t understand whether you meant a work angle change or something thing else.

So if I’m testing NR232 on 1/2” material I need what root opening and bevel degree ?

I would like to have that book you are working out of if i missed name i apologize but i would like to buy me a copy

I wish you guys would have bent it

I've been doing my root pass at the same amperage. Today we bent my coupons and it still broke on the root pass. Should I go at a higher amperage. I dont know why the root pass is so tough for me.

Bout to take my cert test today!!! I’m going to give it my all wish me luck yall 💚🙏🏼

Excellent video thank you

Hey today i did my pipe and for some odd reason, i clean the slag out of the area, and there still some in the pipe, but i have pass twice with that, i want to stop that from happening for now.

Thank you so much for instructional videos. I thoroughly enjoy them and learn a lot through them. I am a newer welder that is working on collecting my certifications. I have my D1.1 in AWS and LA city. However, I have a job coming up that is a tubular structure . Clause 9. could you do a video on the test for tubular structures? D 1.1

With the D1.1 test, what are the measurements for cutting the test plates for the bend test?

Excellent video! How much time does it usually take for you to complete this test from start to finish? How long do you take in between passes to let the metal cool and does it vary as you progress? You guys are the best welding channel out there.

Please give weld camera info...

Can't really see the weld puddle clearly

Thank you sooooo much

Great video! Thank you

I t MyHabionrapss💰

You mentioned to get a pick to dig out any slag trapped anywhere in the weld, is there a time when one can use a heavy duty wire brush or either a cutting wheel or a grinder..... lol, just saw your comment at the end of the video....
Not a grinding test , but know how to use all the basic welding tools and equipment.

Today I take my first test it’s always been my dream to become a welder like my father I nervous as hell I watch this video every day to help me prepare my self thank you

How long has backing plate been used for a authorised insurance qualified 3G vertical plate test, When I passed mine it wasn’t aloud, Root fill and cap, Also did 5G & 6G pipe test, All material were 13 mm thick, Pipe was 150mm diameter and plates were 300mm long.🇬🇧🇮🇪.

Good video very well explained

did the root have porosity?

Lord, I got AWS Certs tomorrow at 1 in class 3G and 4G in 4 hours I'm nervous, anxious, thanks for the extra boost wish me luck!

How do you remove the run off plate?

Thank you for the skills,it has helped me pass my 3G Bend test

I've seen you use a high temp pen in the video for 1 inch 3g cert. Where to you get one of those? And what temp do you recommend for 3/8 plate? Thank you
