-4- WELDING PROCEDURES Out-Of-Position Welding (V ertical and Overhead) When welding out-of-position, the molten metal tends to spill out of the joint. T o offset this tendency , an electrode with a fast freezing deposit is needed. W elding made with out-of-position electr odes is slow , relatively expensive and requir e a high degree of operator s[...]

-5- V ertical Up T echniques for Fillet and Gr oove W elds 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 r etur ning the electrode tip to the crater area to add mor e weld metal. 2. Root pass beads, particularly when made with a whipping[...]

-8- 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 electr odes because the high iron powder content i[...]

-9- T ravel fast, but not too fast for good slag coverage. 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 ar c causing erratic bead shape, spatter , and poor penetration. Deep Groove Gr oove Welds – T o hold the large pool of molten weld metal from Jet[...]

-10- 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. W eld single pass fillets using a drag technique with the tip of the[...]

-24- Low Hydrogen W elding Low hydrogen electr odes are recommended for thr ee broad areas of application: 1. On low alloy , high carbon, high sulfur , or other steels wher e cracking is a problem. 2. When specified by governing codes. 3. For lowest costs on vertical, overhead and horizontal groove welds on heavy (over 1/2”) plate. Pr ocedur es V[...]

-25- Drag the electrode lightly . Since low hydrogen electr odes rely on the molten slag for shielding, never hold a long arc, whip, leave the crater , or move rapidly in any direction. Failure to follow these techniques may result in por osity and/or reduce mechani- cal properties. For Clean Tie-Ins – Strike the arc ahead of the crater , move qu[...]
