Todays Project - What did you do today?
Instead of an actual oven I've made a couple of welding rod storage units.  The first one was based on a piece of bakery equipment that was designed to keep bread/rolls/etc warm.  It was an insulated cabinet on wheels to which I added a single lamp bulb socket in the bottom and used a 200 watt light bulb.

The second one was an non-insulated wall mount tool cabinet to which I simply added a 200 watt light bulb.

I've seen others made from old/non-working refrigerators again with a 200 watt light bulb in the bottom and a slice of the rubber door seal removed at the top & bottom of the door for air circulation. BTW the wire shelves in a refrigerator work well to circulate the hot air, or you could just install a computer with the metalworkingfun forum up & running. :)

Redrying Conditions - Non-Low Hydrogen Stick Electrodes




Stick Electrode

Electrode Group

Final Redrying Temperature  

Time


E6010: Fleetweld 5P, 5P+
E6011: Fleetweld 35, 35LS, 180
E7010-A1: SA-85(1)
E7010-G: SA-HYP+(1)
E8010-G: SA-70+(1), SA-80(1)
E9010-G: SA-90(1)

Fast Freeze - excessive moisture is indicated by a noisy arc and high spatter, rusty core wire at the holder end or objectionable coating blisters while welding.

Re-baking of this group of stick electrodes is not recommended.

Not Recommended

I didn't have any of that. Personally I think it's more a matter of technique! AKA Loose nut holding the rod...

6011 6010 are some hard rods to run for someone that doesn't burn a lot of it, you have to whip it in to stack it up like a row of dimes.

THAT I can guarantee I did NOT do! It had been so long since I'd even struck an arc, I tried e's like in mig welding, u's and circles while moving it along.

like they used to tell me it just takes practice, remember that the longer the weld the more it can and will warp depending on the material that your using.

That I remembered. I tacked it on the ends and middle then the opposite side (square tube) on the opposite sides of where I had just tacked. Then worked my way around to the different spots with longer welds. Probably overkill with the thickness of that steel (5/16").
