LEARNING ACTIVITIES
Learning Activities Specific Instruction
Vertical Welding
There are two basic techniques for performing welds in the vertical
position. These two techniques are commonly referred to as “vertical
up” and “vertical down.” These two techniques can be used to perform
welds in the 3G and 3F positions.
The following is a set of instructions for performing “vertical up”
and “vertical down” welds. For most welders, light metal is easier to
weld than heavy metal because it requires less penetration.
Be certain that the metal plate is secured in a vertical position. The
use of adjustable locking pliers or C-clamps is recommended to aid in
securing the metal in position.
Position the electrode at an angle of 60º to the plate and in the
path of the weld. The electrode should be perpendicular to the sides of
the plate.
For “vertical down” welding, begin at the top of the plate with a
short arc. If the electrode sticks, stop and increase the amperage. If
the electrode burns through the metal, lower the amperage. If the
electrode continues to burn through the metal, increase the speed of
the electrode movement downward.
When welding “vertical up”, position the electrode 85º to the plate
in the path of the weld. Begin at the bottom of the plate and work up.
Use the same procedures if the electrode sticks or burns through the
metal.
24 | S h i e l d e d M e t a l A r c W e l d i n g ( S M A W )
I.Learn Center Philippines
As with fillet welds, “vertical up” and “vertical down” welds will
need more than one pass. A root pass should be made, along with a
filler and cap pass.
