Stick welding with 5/32" 7018 in 5F position, Round Tube to plate weld with Andrew.
6013 stick welding tips for anyone in welding school trying to move on to 6010 and 7018...or who wants to build something and only has an AC buzz box welder.
6013 rods are designed to weld on DC or AC and it doesnt really matter much which one you choose.
In this video...overhead welding at 130 amps with 7018 1/8" electrode.
One mistake I made in welding school was running too cold on overhead
This plate is placed on a 45 degree to simulate that 4-5 o'clock area of a 5G pipe where things start to sag. Its not true overhead and not vertical either. But is a great practice plate leading to pipe
