2 common welding tests given by shipyards, welding schools, and local union schools are the 3g and 4g Structural plate tests. This video is intended to help you pass a Dual Shield Flux Core welding test in 3g (vertical) and 4g (overhead) positions. A big Thanks to Andrew Cardin for helping me make this video, and also a big thanks to Triangle Engineering (trieng.com) for providing the test plates. And last but not least, thanks to Lincoln Electric for letting me use their stuff for this video. |
