Timeframe
A. Introduction Overhead welding is performed from the underside of a joint, the metal
Panimula deposited tends to drop or sag on the plate, causing the bead to have a
high crown. To overcome this difficulty, the molten puddle should be kept
small, and enough filler metal should be added to obtain good fusion with
some reinforcement at the bead.

Overhead welds are some of the most widely used positions in the welding
field. Since overhead welds are used so frequently, there are several
factors that you should consider before welding. The skills you develop in
welding can lead to countless opportunities in a variety of industries to a
more lucrative and rewarding careers.

In order for you to become a good welder , you need to practice self-
discipline and in best attitude on your welding habit practice , aim to
improve and gain techniques until you are competent in doing welding
job in all position and will pass the assessment of TESDA. Overhead position
is the most difficult position in welding, that is the reason why you are given
enough time to practice being a competent welder on this position.

Watch the video how to do overhead welding:

Overhead welding is widely done in construction using steel trusses for

building with Multi floor. Welding is done above operators head, a very
skilled worker is required for this kind of welding joint.

Welding is widely use in household, business and in industry. Some

interested to learn welding job avail welding machine for personal use to
fabricate and design a product to make use of scrap metal at home.

Activity 1
Your training in overhead welding in school covers the whole of second
semester. Based on your daily activities in doing overhead welding position
what is the most important PPE that you use on this position. List down you
answer on a separate sheet of paper.
B. Development Welding is very important in research, fabrication and even in automotive
Pagpapaunlad industry. Here are some customize fabrication that uses scrap metals and
used small machines
One of the most common processes for field welding repair is Shielded
Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), or Stick. Stick electrodes are self-shielded. It
also provides adequate protection of the weld bead in outdoor
applications where wind interferes with shielding gases. It’s important to
note that Flux Cored (FCAW) welding is also a great option for field repair,
but for the sake of this article we will focus on Stick, which is more
accessible to many contractors.
Each application varies in mechanical properties such as required
strength, ductility, wear resistance, impact strength, and tensile strength.
An exact material match ensures weld quality and longevity, and avoids
premature failure and unwanted downtime.

After every welding operation, as a welder you have to check the welds
for defect otherwise it will cause damaged and accident.

Here are some common weld defects that is also caused by improper
welding techniques and welding machine adjustment

COLD LAP
LACK OF FUSION Lack of fusion, also called cold lapping or cold shuts,
occurs when there is no fusion between the weld metal and the surfaces
of the base plate. This defect can be seen in Figure 10-2. The most common
cause of lack of fusion is a poor welding technique.-
Lack of fusion and cold lap

It's caused primarily by improper welding gun angle or incorrect travel

speed. Avoid this problem by maintaining a 0- to 15-degree gun angle
during welding and keeping the arc on the leading edge of the weld pool.
5 essentials for proper welding procedures.1) CORRECT ELECTRODE SIZE.2)
CORRECT CURRENT.3) CORRECT ARC LENGTH or VOLTAGE.4) CORRECT
TRAVEL SPEED.5) CORRECT ELECTRODE ANGLE.
