Quarter 3 – Week 1-2
One of the problems of vertical welding position is that gravity has a tendency to
sag the molten puddle from the electrode and plates being welded. To prevent this from
happening, fast-freeze types of electrodes should be used. Puddle control can also be
achieved by proper electrode manipulation and selecting electrodes specifically
designed for vertical position welding.

Although it is generally recommended for welding lighter materials, it can be used
for most metal thickness.
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 10°- 15° 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 60° 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.

Before applying these weaving motions on the actual joints, practice running
them on a vertical plate. Continue this practice until a smooth bead of uniform width can
be deposited.
Steps/Procedure:
III. 1. Prepare the plate with the angle of level:
2. 30˚-50˚ root face: ± 8mm
3. Lay the plate to be welded in the working
table
Note: Always wear a clear eye glasses when cleaning the bead.
