Introductory Message
The TVL SHS- IA (GAS METAL ARC WELDING) Learning Activity Sheet
will help you facilitate the teaching-learning activities specified in each Competency
with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and learner. This will be
made available to the learners with the references/links to ease the independent
learning.
The TVL SHS- IA (GAS METAL ARC WELDING) Learning Activity Sheet is
developed to help you continue learning even if you are not in school. This learning
material provides you with meaningful and engaging activities for independent
learning. Being an active learner, carefully read and understand the instructions then
perform the activities and answer the assessments. This will be
returned to your facilitator on the agreed schedule.

Position of the electrode for downward (left) and upward
On heavy plates of ¼ “or more in thickness, upward welding is often more practical, since
deeper penetration can be obtained. Welding upward also makes it possible to create a shelf
for successive layers of beads.
For downward welding, tip the electrode at about 60° travel angle and 90° work angle.
Start at the top of the seam and move downward with little or no weaving motion. If a slight
weave is necessary, swing the electrode so the crescent is at the top.
For upward welding, start with the electrode at right angles to the plates. Then, lower
the rear of the electrode, keeping the tip in place, until the electrode forms an angle of 10o-
15o with the horizontal.

Laying Straight Beads in Vertical–Downhill Method
Set up a practice piece in vertical position with a series of straight lines drawn on it. Start at the top of
the plate with the electrode pointed upward about 60o from the vertical plate. Keep the arc short and
draw the electrode downward to form the bead. Travel just fast enough to keep the molten metal and
slag from running ahead of the crater. Do not use any weaving motion to start with. Once this
technique is mastered try weaving the electrode but very slightly with the crest at the top of the
craters.
2. Strike the arc on the bottom of the plate. As the metal is deposited, move the tip of the
electrode upward in a rocking motion as shown in the picture below.
This is often called a whipping motion. In rocking the electrode, do not break the arc but simply
pivot it with a wrist movement so the arc is moved up ahead of the weld long enough for the bead to
solidify. Then return it to the crater and repeat the operation, working up along the line to the top of
the plate. Remember; do not break the arc while moving the electrode upward. Withdraw it just long
enough to permit the deposited metal to solidify and form a shelf so additional metal can be
deposited. Continue to lay beads from bottom to top until each line is smooth and uniform in width.
