Hey mate,
I have only heard hearsay about it, never done it nor see a video or proper picture.
However, from what im hearing, The wire you would normally use to do a 1/2 " or bigger multipass fillet weld. The slag of the preceding run gives a bit of support to the next run, I would try it, but the only flux core wire we have is a 309 wire with self releasing slag.
Mick
Ideas & suggestions for videos

Doesn't this go against everything we have been taught in the past? I would think these welds would be full of inclusions. Anyone out there have a picture or video of this being done?weldin mike 27 wrote: The slag of the preceding run gives a bit of support to the next run

There is flux cored wire made to do this
I'll check the numbers of the lincon one I sell the coke mill
They use it on the coke crushing rollers to build them up for re machining
They just plié it on top of its self

I would love to get the numbers. I don't do videos but maybe I can pick some up and get some pictures.eddahenry wrote:There is flux cored wire made to do this

I’m interested also run lots of fluxcore always clean my slag because as someone said inclusions.

Hey mate,
Very old post.
I think I'm the only member still active here, and the member AK, passed away. (for future reference). I still haven't seen any proper pictures of this technique, but I assume it's done all the time.
Mick.

Well if I take the info with a grain of salt, I know it's not normal E71T-GS or E71T-11 because it is "supposedly" on 1/2" weld beads or bigger. That means it's some heavy duty wire, not a typical roll of gasless flux core coming out of a 120V flux core welder. People can swear all they want, but nothing beats hard data that is properly tested & gathered. Here-say is for witch hunts. So yea, I'm skeptical about it.
The flux coating on gas shielded flux-cored wires solidifies faster than the molten weld material. Consequently, a sort of shelf is created which holds the molten pool when welding overhead or vertically up. Gas-shielded flux wires work well when welding thicker metals.

True, but weldin Mike didn't specify if it was gasless or gas-shielded flux core. Without specifying, I assumed gasless flux core.ganxtr wrote:The flux coating on gas shielded flux-cored wires solidifies faster than the molten weld material.
