Correct Application Techniques
Direction of welding.
MIG welding with solid wires takes place
normally with a push technique. The welding
gun is tilted at an angle of 10° towards the
direction of welding. (Push technique)
10°
The influence of changing the torch angle and
the welding direction on the weld bead profile
can be seen below.
Torch perpendicular to workpiece Narrow
bead width with increased reinforcement.
10°
Torch positioned at a drag angle of 10° Narrow
bead with excessive reinforcement.
Flux cored welding with cored wires takes place
normally with the drag technique ("when there
is slag in your drag"). The welding gun is tilted
at an angle of 10° away from the direction of
welding. For all other applications the gun angle
remains the same.
90°

0–15°
Torch position for butt welds
When welding butt welds the torch should
be positioned within the centre of the groove
and tilted at an angle of ±15° from the vertical
plane. Welding is still performed in the push
technique.

45°
Torch position for fillet welds
When welding fillet welds the torch should be
positioned at an angle of 45° from the bottom
plate with the wire pointing into the fillet
corner. Welding is still performed in the push
technique.
