6.3 Types of weld bead
The following paragraphs discuss the most commonly used arc welding beads. The stringer bead is
formed by traveling with the electrode in a straight line while keeping the electrode centered over the weld joint.
Stringer Bead Weave Bead
The weave bead is used when you want to deposit metal over a wider space than would be possible with a stringer
bead. It is made by weaving from side to side while moving with the electrode. It is best to hesitate momentarily at each
side before weaving back the other way.

Welding position
Flat position It is easiest of the welding positions and is most commonly used. It is best if you can weld in the flat
position if at all possible as good results are easier to achieve.
Flat Position Horizontal Position
The horizontal position it is performed very much the same as the flat weld except that the angle is different such that the
electrode, and therefore the arc force, is directed more toward the metal above the weld joint. This more direct angle
helps prevent the weld puddle from running downward while still allowing slow enough travel speed to achieve good
penetration. A good starting point for your electrode angle is about 30 degrees DOWN from being perpendicular to the
work piece.
