Welding spatter

I am a newbie but I have taken a good basic welding course. Learned a lot already from this forum. What is the best way to eliminate, or at least reduce or remove spatter, particularly from 6011 rods?

Easiest way to remove spatter is to get a large hacksaw blade, the kind for the electric saws with a 1 1/2 thick blade. Break it so its about 6-8 inches long and take it to the grinder and put a bevel on it so its like a chisel. Then use an angle grinder and cut a hook into the side, kinda like a hook nife for cutting shingles. You can then use it to chisel spatter off the metal, and use the hook for digging slag out of any crevises.

Do what I did years ago. Quit using 6011 rods, now use 7014. Much better welds, very low spatter.

Yeah I'm with you. But what about getting great penetration and working on material that I can't get completely clean?

With those 6011's you can do a couple of things to affect the amount of spatter, but most likely you are holding too long of an arc. Get that electrode down in there closer to the work. If that's not the problem, try turning the amperage down a little and be sure that you are welding on clean metal; chip and brush off the slag completely between passes.
If all else fails, there are sprays that reduce the amount of spatter that sticks.

Hi, CaptainB. There are also pastes designed for use with MIG welders to stop spatter sticking to the business end of the MIG handpiece. Some of that smeared around your weld area will help to stop spatter sticking where you don't want it. The sprays are easier to apply but the pastes are more accurate because you can wipe them on with a rag or smear them on with a knife or scraper. Both work but need to be refreshed from time to time if heat is getting to them.

Plus all the other points mentioned by JP.

Hope this helps.

You have a wonderful day
