MIG WELDING CARBON STEEL 3F VERTICAL UPHILL TEE JOINT .035" ER70S6

scroll down for settings

Short Circuit Mig uphill requires some manipulation to prevent the bead from being excessively convex or mounded up.

The 3 main things to focus on are:

1. Voltage and Wire speed settings that are balanced and hot enough to hit the root ( in this case 18.5 volts and 280ipm)
2. Maintain a short stickout (contact tip to work distance) 
3. use a technique that plays the arc on the leading edge of the puddle

Did you know?..
There are over 800 videos over at welderskills.com from beginner stick welding to advanced TIG... to down and dirty repair videos on farm equipment...to 6G Pipe  certification test videos.

Whether you are a student working on passing a welding test, hobbyist, or a working welder who wants to sharpen up, I want to encourage you to take the free 7 day test drive and get access to all the courses and over 800 videos.

Get in there and lets all get better together.

Its easy to sign up…and even easier to cancel with no hoops to jump thru.

Invest in yourself,

See you in there.

CTWD  = 3/8”-1/2"

FILLER METAL = ER70S6 .035"

ADDITIONAL SETTINGS = 

TIPS:A relatively short stickout aka contact to work distance CTWD of 3/8” to 1/2" makes a big difference.The technique shown is simple series of upside down V motionsThis technique traces the front leading edge of the puddle and helps ensure penetration.
