had to do SMAW and GMAW horizontal, verticle up and flat

 

Congratulations.

 

i fuc ked up 3 parts, because i didnt read the print right, didnt do a burn through on a butt joint in 2 places, and anotehr i put in flat position which was supposed ot be horizontal. and on thsi one set of horizontal smaw t joints i kept gettign arc blowout cause i didnt realize i had two magnets right beside the box

 

smaw verticle up



horizontal smaw

undercut the mig

gold from the first competition

 

not bad, pause a little longer on the sides so you don't get the undercut and buildup in the middle like that. otherwise looks good. congrats on the win

 

Did they tell you what design to build or start welding? Looks good.

Oh yeah....Mase called and he wants his half tuck t-shirt style back.

 

congrats!!

I had that problem too but my instructor told me the same exact thing and it made a waayyy big difference. Made the bead look smoother and toes blended together more.

 

haha thank you, i actually dont know why my shirt is half tucke,d i actualyl dont walk around like that. about that massive mig undercut, i dot know why i didn;t pause, i think i freaked out and saw it was cutting it away so i went back to childish ways and thought the fraster i go the less undercut haha.
They gave us a blueprint on what we were supposed to build and had all teh peices in a pile and had all teh positions labeed and ****. except my print got sucke dup halfway through in the vent, luckily i remebered what i needed to do

Now that's a true welding soldier! Look at the blueprint once and commit it to memory!

 

Was this part of the Skills Canada competition?

My school hosted the regional event for Van Isle for this one, but the piece the kids had to put together looked WAY different.

Congrats on the win!

 

Nice,

I'll have to post up some pics of the GMAW verticals our guys do. They're honestly some of the best I've seen.

 

This is why I need to go to school for this stuff...competitions are fun!
Congrats on your finishes too man!!! keep it up.
