Tack weld a three feet length of angle iron to your work bench in an upright posi on. Use a 3.2mm
of the job and strike the arc in the corner of the fillet. The electrode needs to be about 10º from the
horizontal to enable a good bead to be deposited.
Refer Figure 58.
Figure 58
Use a short arc, and do not a empt to weave on the first run. When the first run has been completed
deslag the weld deposit and begin the second run at the bo om. This me a slight weaving mo on
is necessary to cover the first run and obtain good fusion at the edges.
At the comple on of each side mo on, pause for a moment to allow weld metal to build up at the
edges, otherwise undercut will form and too much metal will accumulate in the centre of the weld.
Figure 59 illustrates mul -run technique and Figure 60 shows the effects of pausing at the edge of
weave and of weaving too rapidly.
