Welding Position; Horizontal Position; Vertical Position; Flat Position - MasterCraft 058-8194-4 Instruction Manual

Welding position:

1. Flat position: This position is easiest and
most commonly used. It is best to weld
in the flat position to achieve good
(fig N)
results .
2. Horizontal position: This position
prevents the weld puddle from running
downward while allowing slow and
enough travel speed. For this position,
angle B should be about 30 degrees
downward from being perpendicular to
(fig O)
the workpiece
3. Vertical position: The torch can be easily
pulled from top to bottom in this
position, though it is difficult to prevent
the puddle from running downward.
Pushing the torch from bottom to top
provides better puddle control and
allows slower rates of travel speed to
achieve deeper penetration. For this
position, angle B should be zero and
angle A will vary from 45 to 60 degrees
to provide better puddle control
