WELDING PROCEDURES Out-Of-Position Welding (Vertical and Overhead) When welding out-of-position, the molten metal tends to spill out of the joint. To offset this tendency, an electrode with a fast freezing deposit is needed. Welding made with out-of-position electrodes is slow, relatively expensive and require a high degree of operator skill. Therefore, whenever possible, work should be positioned for downhand welding using High-Deposition electrodes – see pages 8-15. Procedures Vertical Up Gr

Vertical Up Techniques for Fillet and Groove Welds Whip first pass Box weave second pass Straight weave 1. Make first pass root beads with a whipping technique. Whip the electrode tip out of the molten crater and up for a short time to let the crater cool before returning the electrode tip to the crater area to add more weld metal. 2. Root pass beads, particularly when made with a whipping technique, tend to be humped in the middle. Therefore, a box weave is often needed for the second pas

High-Deposition Welding High deposition applications includes groove, fillet, lap and corner welds in 3/16” and thicker plate welded with the work level or slightly downhill. These joints are capable of holding a large molten pool of weld metal as it freezes. These welds are made with Jetweld electrodes because the high iron powder content in the coating produces high deposit rates to fill joints in the shortest time for economical welding.

Stay about 1/4” to 3/8” ahead of the molten slag. If travel speed is too slow, a small ball of molten slag may form and roll ahead of the arc causing erratic bead shape, spatter, and poor penetration.

Fillet and Lap Welds – The ideal fillet or lap weld has equal legs and a flat or slightly convex bead. Excess convexity wastes weld metal. A concave bead is susceptible to shrinkage cracks. Flat fillet and lap welds are made with the same general techniques as groove welds. 60° 45° End view Side view Weld single pass fillets using a drag technique with the tip of the electrode touching both plates. Usually weld with the electrode at a 45° angle (end view) from the horizontal plate. However, a

L Welding Inclined Plate These procedures are used when: 1. The work cannot be positioned in the level position for high speed welding with High Deposition Jetweld electrodes. 2. The weld is made partly in the level position and partly downhill. Fleetweld 47 electrodes have a fairly high iron powder content in the coating, which provides a good deposition rate consistent with downhill welding ability. Using a drag technique, maintain about a 5/32” distance between the end of the electrode an

When welding with High Speed electrodes (E6012 and E6013) deposit the entire weld in one pass using non-weave beads or a slight weave. Drag the electrode on the joint and stay ahead of the molten pool. Use enough drag angle so the arc force pushes the weld metal back. Use currents in the high portion of the elec- trode’s range. When welding with Out-Of-Position electrodes (E6010 and E6011), deposit the entire weld in one pass using non-weave beads or a slight weave. Hold a 1/8” or shorter arc.
