Weld Carbon Steel Plates In Flat Position (1G)
Preparation of Base Plate. 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.
Flat Position (1G)
1G is a plate in the flat position that is beveled. This position is the most basic
and only covers the welder in that position.
What is It
Flat Position Welding Procedures
In order to make satisfactory bead welds on a plate surface, the flare motion, tip
angle, and position of the welding flame above the molten puddle should be carefully
maintained.
The welding torch should be adjusted to give the proper type of flame for the particular
metal being welded.
Narrow bead welds are made by raising and lowering the welding flare with a
slight circular motion while progressing forward.
The tip should form an angle of approximately 45 degrees with the plate
surface. The flame will be pointed in the welding direction.
Activity 2
Read the questions carefully and write your answer YES or NO on the separate of
paper. (copy and answer)
1. Deposit weld beads on plate?
2. Weld plates in single pass groove joints in flat positions (1F)
3. Weld plates in multiple pass groove joints in flat position
1. What should be spaced to allow for weld metal contraction and thus prevent
warpage?
2. What should be formed on the surface when making a bead weld with a welding
rod?
3. Which is also sometimes called the down hand position?
4. What should be taken not to overheat the molten puddle?
5. What should not be too large because this will cause the flame to burn through
the plate?

What is It
You will end up risking burn through at the top of your joint and having no
penetration. You will need to work hard to master your technique if you want an even
and uniform beading on your joint.
Visually, this joint will have a base plate that is lying flat on the ground and the
plate being fused sticking straight up in the air, forming a T. Your weld will be at
about a 45-degree angle, because it will be nestled into that corner.
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.
