These are welds of approximately triangular cross-sec on made by deposi ng metal in the corner of
two faces mee ng at right angles. Refer Figure 56 and Figure 57.
A piece of angle iron is a suitable specimen with which to begin, or two lengths of strip steel may be
tacked together at right angles. Using a 3.2mm 6013 S ck electrode at 100amps, posi on angle iron
-ver cal (HV) fillet.
Strike the arc and immediately bring the electrode to a posi on perpendicular to the line of the fillet
and about 45º from the ver cal. Some electrodes require being sloped about 20º away from the
perpendicular posi on to prevent slag from running ahead of the weld. Refer to Figure 56.
Do not a empt to build up much larger than 6.4mm width with a 3.2mm electrode, otherwise the weld
metal tends to sag towards the base, and undercut forms on the ver cal leg. Mul -runs can be made as
shown in Figure below. Weaving in HV fillet welds is undesirable.
