There isn't any scaling on the metal right? Try brushing an area clean then welding. Turn the heat way down it looks like your burning it. See how large the heat affected zone is? Try to make it much smaller by kicked the amperage down and possibly moving faster, or maybe even try pulsing manually if you don't have the feature.

Also try a 1/16th filler. I tend to like those better on steel.

1/4" cs 150-160 amps standard collet #8 cup 2% lathenated 3/32s er70s2 filler. First half a small weave second half just dabbing.

Has anybody ever had this happen to them while stick welding?

I was practicing with 7018 rod on 1/4'' steel. I got to the end of the weld, flipped up my hood, and the slag was automatically peeling off the weld. The temperature of the base metal, my travel speed, angle, and arc length were all just right, it was like the stars were aligned LOL

Went to 115 amps, seemed a lot better here. Pass 3 & 4 from right to left .

Went to 115 amps, seemed a lot better here. Pass 5, I feel like this is my best one so far, the gap started to get a lot bigger as you can kind of see here.

Still at 115amps, I had a lot of trouble with this gap, so I tried to "walk the cup"/do a "C" motion to help, I'll need to work more on this.

Thought I would share some copper and brass roses I made a few weeks back. I've made hundreds of these from steel, but this is the first time from other materials.

I gotta do it

I enjoy making them. Fun and simple. Gets your mind off of things.

On a side note, I took my 3g Aluminum Certification test today! 3/8" Plate, 1/4" root, using a Miller syncrowave 200. Passed all the root and cover visual inspections and the inside looked perfect when cut open. Now just waiting on bend test.
 
Picked up some more scrap. Not sure what coating is on here but I didn't like it.
I tried #6 cup, 120-125amps I believe, still on the same stuff as before. (No changes to equip rest of the pics)

Penetration on the back side wasn't that good, still having issues starting the weld with this type of joint.

Got a bit more comfortable, starting it and getting the puddle to move is tough still.

Some more junk from work. Gets repetitive sometimes, but at least it only lasts a couple days and then I'm doing something new. It helps that they let me wear headphones :rocks:

These are some kind of slotted lids that get bolted onto a metal box, I think money gets put into the slot. Either that or they're for suggestion boxes that you fill out a slip of paper and drop it in.

Either way, it seems way too over-engineered hahaha

This is my "office":

Here's a jig I helped design:

I have to shear sheets of 16ga. steel and then deburr, bend, weld, and grind it to make the slots:

I used 308L stainless rod for the pictures, but normally I use ER70S2
