A good solid bead is all you need when welding GMAW i disagree about the weaving and porosity... your going to get porosity if you get oxygen/nitrogen in your weld zone and your going to get lack of fusion if you weave and you ride the puddle .... if i was welding up those frame rails i would have done a quick down hand "root" and a vertical "weave"... hell i might even do a "cap" 1/8" on each side of the weld zone... keep the pics coming earth- shits coming along nicely R.I.P!

What the fuck?!? NO!! if you want a syrong structural weld you do a quick hotpass aka"root" the stringer fillers. no cap needed. for structural. now let us see pictires of your welds mr theory.

It's just that "weaving" or "C pattern" type welding is (from what I remember in metals 15+ years ago) used when welding up hill inside a corner or something like that. In your application a good controlled bead is all you need. Weaving reheats the filler you just laid and can make it brittle of become porous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uhoh_45 Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 well sir. apparently you have not done alot of welding were they xray it? weaving=fail. i have my welds xrayed daily. i've been welding for 11 years. professionally for 6. and you wouldve vertical downed a weld? What the fuck?!? NO!! if you want a syrong structural weld you do a quick hotpass aka"root" the stringer fillers. no cap needed. for structural. now let us see pictires of your welds mr theory. you are correct i dont have my welds xrayed daily and i dont do structural but i do have my CWB all position with mig (structural all positions with Gmaw)... i do pipeline welding in shop (random xrays- never failed) where it is vertical down root- hot pass/fill pass vertical up heres procedure for a 3G which is a vertical grove weld ... which is exactly what down2earth is doing heres my root 1/8" gap vertical down then heres my hot/fill and cap vertical weave up and the bend test (30 ton ram) no lack fusion no porosity no cracks only problem is there was little suck back from to much heat on front side and sorry OP for thread jacking R.I.P!
