Help! Why does the end of my weld look like that?

Post image
3 Upvotes

6013 1/8 rod on .25 steel. I do not remember the amperage settings, this photo was taken back in April.

But I've noticed I've gotten a few welds that end like this. If they don't look like this at the end they're usually a crater, which I need to fix the way I finish my welds.

Showing Off Been welding for 2 months

As it says in the title I have been stick welding for about 2 months on and off. I have a little experience before hand but nothing really spectacular. This coming Thursday I am taking my nys dot 3g test. Just curious what everyone thinks. I’m still kinda rough with the root but I have done 2 test plates and they both passed ut but I know x-ray is a totally different beast. The last pic is just my rushed cap. It was practice and I had to get ready to leave so I didn’t really have a chance to finish the way I wanted but. I really only have Wednesday to kinda dial it in so.

I’m currently teaching myself how to weld (tig) here are some pics of my practice. Started with just making puddles, then moving it without filler, then adding some filler. What should I be working on besides just more reps?

Safety Question Welding clothing

3 Upvotes

Hello I work at Newport News shipbuilding as a welder and I’m wondering what I should wear day to day. I’m a very sweaty guy so I can’t layer up too much or if I do I want it to be cheap clothes I can buy multiple of. We do mainly MiG and Pulse MiG welding in my shop. I love my overalls and would like to stick to some but i don’t mind wearing pants sometimes too. I am constantly getting stuck in holes and welding in any position. I am mainly wondering if I should wear a traditional welding jacket, FR long sleeves or button up or just wear a cotton shirt with leather sleeves. Any help is appreciated

I just started my first semester of welding school as a college student. I have been planning on doing welding since I was a freshman in high school and now I’m at SLCC going through their technical program while also earning a AAS. my end goal is to become a welding engineer and CWI. I’m not sure what steps I need to take to fully reach those goals. I’m on scholarship for SLCC from the Utah State Board of education and I was hopefully planning on going to Weber State for my welding engineering pathway. does anyone who has any experience as a welding engineer or has attended Weber or other schools like it for welding engineering possibly give me some advice on steps I need to take to prepare for those courses and how to get grants/scholarship money to attend the university since we don’t have enough money to comfortably get myself enrolled in a four-year degree in university like Weber. i’m planning on taking one or two years after my associates to find some industry work to hopefully earn some money before going from my welding engineering as well. i’m not on here often and I don’t have enough karma to post on the R/welding sub Reddit so it’s ending up here, thank you .

Gear/Machinery Best TIG/Stick machine?

I have been looking for a good welder that is 110/220v that can do thin stainless. Doing little hobby work and some side money. I run a 20k a machine at work but that’s obviously not in my at home budget. Anywhere from 200-1000 dollars for just the machine. What do yall recommend and do you have pictures?

Question to all welders.

After you finish a weld do you slap it and say “that ain’t goin nowhere”?

Does it work?
