What’s In (Review)

 What are techniques to be used in welding carbon steel plates flat position (1G)
 Safety measures required in welding
 Essentials in welding

What’s New (Activity 1)

Individual Activity ( Preparing base metal in welding 2G position)

1. Wear the PPEs

2. Prepare all the materials needed
3. Measure plates to desire dimensions and cut
4. Make a bevel/groove in your plates
5. Tack the base metal

What is It (Discussion of Activity 1)

Showing the video on welding carbon steel plates in horizontal position ( 2G)

https://youtu.be/IaFPKIAhHxs

Discuss the video with the students

 Base metal processes
 Make a groove to the base metal
 Dimension of the root face and the root opening
 Correct position of the plates in jig positioner
 Techniques in welding 2G position

How to Prepare the Base Plate or metal

 The bevels are to be flame cut on the edges of the plate before the parts are
assembled. The bevel face must be smooth and free of notches.
The groove face and inside and outside plate surface with in 1” (25mm) of the
joint must be mechanically cleaned of slag, rust and mill scale. Cleaning must be done
with a wire brush or grinder down to bright metal.

Horizontal Welding

When welding in the 2G or 2F position it is necessary to control the weld puddle

and travel speed to produce a strong weld. The horizontal position is used widely in
agricultural sectors to make repairs.

The steps necessary to perform welds in the 2G or 2F position are:

-Secure the plate in a position for running beads in a straight line from left to
right. Use adjustable locking piers or C-clamps to secure the metal firmly.
-When performing this type of weld, the electrode and the plate sides should form
a 90º angle. Lean the electrode slightly in the direction of the weld area.
-Adjust the amperage, travel speed, and arc length to prevent the weld puddle
from running or sagging.
-Metal that is over 1/8 inch thick should be beveled prior to welding in the
horizontal position. If welding thicker metal, or metal that has been beveled, it is
necessary to make more than one weld pass to enhance the strength of the weld.

-A root, filler, and cap pass will be necessary.

 ASSESSMENT CRITERIA:
1. Root penetration not exceeding allowable tolerances specified by welding
codes/standards on; concavity, convexity, undercut, excess penetration, lack of
fusion, burn-through and cracks.
2. Weld capping/final pass not exceeding allowable tolerances specified by welding
codes/standards on; height of reinforcement, under fill, porosities, undercut, cracks
and cold laps.
3. Uniformity of bead ripples must be in accordance with welding standards.
4. Stringer or layered beads deposited in accordance with welding standards.
5. Finish weldment visually acceptable in accordance with welding standards on;
spatters, arc strikes; slag; uniformity of beads.

1. WORKPLACE
2. TOOLS, ACCESSORIES AND SUPPLIES

mechanical pliers.
3. EQUIPMENT
