Types of welding beads:
Welding positions
1. Flat position: This position is the easiest
and most commonly used position. It is
best to weld in the flat position to
achieve good results
(fig 2T)
.
2. Horizontal position: This position prevents
the weld puddle from running downward
while allowing slow enough travel speed.
For this position, angle B should be about
30 degrees
(fig 2U)
.
Stringer bead
Weave bead
•
The stringer bead is formed by
the torch travelling in a straight line
while keeping the wire and nozzle
centered over the weld joint
(fig 2R)
.
•
The weave bead is made by weaving the
wire from side to side while moving with
the torch
