Welding Techniques and Procedures

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. Identify welding techniques and procedures in carbon steel plate in flat position.
2. Apply welding techniques and procedures in carbon steel plate in flat position.

Introduction

In the previous information, the safety practices and other welding principles have
been discussed. Those concepts are very important in performing actual welding. By
following the different welding principles and standards, the quality of the output will be
internationally accepted.
In this information sheet, the procedure on how to weld steel plates in flat position
will be discussed and other ideas related to welding.

General Concept of Welding

The actual welding technique utilized depends on the electrode, the composition of
the work piece, and the position of the joint being welded.
The choice of electrode and welding position also determine the welding speed.
Flat welds require the least operator skill, and can be done with electrodes that melt
quickly but solidify slowly.
This permits higher welding speeds. Sloped, vertical or upside-down welding requires
more operator skill, and often necessitates the use of an electrode that solidifies quickly to
prevent the molten metal from flowing out of the weld pool.
However, this generally means that the electrode melts less quickly, thus increasing
the time required to lay the weld.

Welding Techniques and Procedures:

 Welding

This is the process of joining metals by melting the parts and then using a filler to
form a joint. It can be done using different energy sources, from a gas flame or electric arc to
a laser or ultrasound

Five Steps to Improving Your Welding Technique
1
Paying attention to the five basic elements of stick welding technique
significantly improve your stick welding results.

1.Current setting

The electrode you select will determine whether your machine should be set up in DC
positive, DC negative or AC. Make sure you have it set correctly for your application. (fig.1)

Fig. 1
2. Length of Arc
The correct arc length varies with each electrode and application. As a good starting
point, arc length should not exceed the diameter of the metal portion (core) of the electrode,
e.g. an 1/8-in. 6010 electrode is held about 1/8 in. off the base material. (fig. 2)

 3
Stick welding in the flat, horizontal and overhead position uses a “drag” or
“backhand” welding technique. Hold the electrode perpendicular to the joint, and then tilt the
top in the direction of travel approximately 5 to 15 degrees. For welding vertical up, use a
“push” or “forehand” technique and tilt the top of the electrode 0 to 15 degrees away from the
direction of travel. (See fig. 3.)

Fig. 3
4. Manipulation of Electrode
Each welder manipulates the electrode a little differently than the next. Develop your
own style by observing others, practicing and noting which techniques produce the best
results. Note that on material 1/4 in. and thinner, weaving the electrode is typically not
necessary because the bead will be wider than necessary. In many instances a straight bead is
all that’s needed.

5. Speed of travel

Your travel speed should allow you to keep the arc in the leading one-third of the
weld pool.

An Electrode is a metal wire that is coated. It is made out of materials with a similar
composition to the metal being welded. There are a variety of factors that go into choosing
the right electrode for each project.

SMAW or stick electrodes are consumable, meaning they become part of the weld,
while TIG electrodes are non-consumable as they do not melt and become part of the weld,
requiring the use of a welding rod.The MIG welding electrode is a continuously fed wire
referred to as wire.

Electrode selection is critical to ease of cleanup, weld strength, bead quality and for
minimizing any spatter. Electrodes need to be stored in a moisture free environment and
carefully removed from any package (follow the directions to avoid damage). 

WELDING ELECTRODE CLASSIFICATIONS

 Strike the electric arc when starting a SMAW operation, the electrode is brought into
contact with the workpiece, dragged like lighting a match, and then pulled away slightly. If
the arc lights and then goes out, that means the electrode was pulled too far away from the
base metal. If the electrode sticks to the metal, give a twist and it should come free.

 Tapping Technique

Move the electrode straight down to the base metal. Then lift slightly. The arc should
start. If the arc goes out, that means it was lifted too high off the work piece.

Operating the Electrode Holder

This initiates the melting of the work piece and the consumable electrode, and causes
droplets of the electrode to be passed from the electrode to the weld pool.

Arc Welding Position

The types of welds, joints, and welding positions used in manual-shielded metal arc
welding are very similar to those used in oxygas welding. Naturally, the techniques are
somewhat different because of the equipment involved is different.

Flat-Position Welding

Earlier we explained that welding can be done in any position, but it is much simpler
when done in the flat position. In this position, the work is less tiring, welding speed is faster,
the molten puddle is not as likely to run, and better penetration can be achieved. Whenever
possible, try to position the work so you can weld in the flat position. In the flat position, the
face of the weld is approximately horizontal.

Joint Type Butt joints are the primary type of joints used in the flat position of
welding; however, flat-position welding can be made on just about any type of joint
providing you can rotate the section you are welding on to the appropriate position.
Techniques that are useful in making butt joints in the flat position, with and without the use
of backing strips, are described below.

Flat-Position Welding Techniques and procedure

1.Butt joints in the flat position.

2. Butt welds with multipass beads.
3. Weave motions used in manual shielded arc welding.

BUTT JOINTS WITHOUT BACKING STRIPS

A butt joint is used to join two plates having surfaces in about the same plane.
Several forms of butt joints are shown in figure1.

 Fig. 5 Butt Joints in The Flat Position

Plates up to 1/8-inch-thick can be welded in one pass with no special edge

preparation. Plates from 1/8 to 3/16 inch in thickness also can be welded with no special edge
preparation by welding on both sides of the joint.

Tack welds should be used to keep the plates aligned for welding. The electrode
motion is the same as that used in making a bead weld. In welding 1/4-inch plate or heavier,
you should prepare the edges of the plates by beveling or by J-, U-, or V-grooving, whichever
is the most applicable. You should use single or double bevels or grooves when the
specifications and/or the plate thickness require it.

Use the portable grinder to prepare the edge of the plate. The first bead is deposited to
seal the space between the two plates and to weld the root of the joint. This bead or layer of
weld metal must be thoroughly cleaned to remove all slag and dirt before the second layer of
metal is deposited.

In making multipass welds, as shown in figure2, the second, third, and fourth layers of
weld metal are made with a weaving motion of the electrode. Clean each layer of metal
