5G pipe welding help?
Any one have any advice for vertical up pipe welding? Specifically, I'm using a new machine...there's only "Soft" and "Hard" arc control settings. I'm used to using Lincoln V-350 Pros where you can fine tune the arc force instead of all or nothing. My issue is that I am getting that typical under cutting at the 2 and 5 o'clock, right where the test coupons will be taken from. I'm using a triangle weave, trying to exaggerate me side pauses, but still not seeing any improvement. Also been keeping a steady 10-15 degree up angle and have tried really rolling my wrist in each direction. The roots look great. Hot pass-alright. Fill and cap start looking like crap. Other than "practice, practice, practice", does anyone have any advice. Admittedly, vertical up 6010, whether plate or pipe, has always been my nemesis. I really need to make some improvements quick like. Any help from fellow welders would be much appreciated.
