What’s New
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.

Flat Position Narrow Bead Weld


To increase the depth of fusion, either increase the angle between the tip and
the plate surface, or decrease the welding speed.
The size of the puddle should not be too large because this will cause the flame
to burn through the plate.
A properly made bead weld, without filler rod, will be slightly below the upper
surface of the plate. A bead weld with filler rod shows a buildup on the surface.

2. Weld plates in single pass groove joints in flat positions (1F)
3. Weld plates in multiple pass groove joints in flat position

What I Have Learned


A small puddle should be formed on the surface when making a bead weld with
a welding rod. The welding rod is inserted into the puddle and the base plate and rod
are melted together. The torch should be moved slightly from side to side to obtain
good fusion. The size of the bead can be controlled by varying the speed of welding and
the amount of metal deposited from the welding rod.
Several types of joints are used to make butt welds in the flat position.
Tack welds should be used to keep the plates aligned. The lighter sheets should
be spaced to allow for weld metal contraction and thus prevent warpage.
The following table should be used for selecting the number of passes in butt welding
steel plates:
Plate thickness, in. Number of passes 1/8 to 1/4 1 1/4 to 5/8 2 5/8 to 7/8
3 7/8 to 1-1/8
The position of the welding rod and torch tip in making a flat position butt joint
is shown in figure 11-13.
The motion of the flame should be controlled so as to melt the sidewalls of the
plates and enough of the welding rod to produce a puddle of the desired size.
By oscillating the torch tip, a molten puddle of a given size can be carried along the
joint. This will ensure both complete penetration and sufficient filler metal to provide
some reinforcement at the weld.
Care should be taken not to overheat the molten puddle. This will result in
burning the metal, porosity, and low strength in the completed weld.
This position is used in the flat welding position. It’s a fillet symbol.
You will see this used when you need to work with filler that has been rotated so it is
level with the ground.
This is also the easiest of all welding positions. This position is also called the
flat fillet position.
In a fillet weld, this joint will have a base plate that’s at an angle and a joint at a
similar angle, so that the joint itself is facing straight upwards, making your weld area
completely flat in between the plates being fused together.

1. The _________is used widely in agricultural sectors to make repairs.


2. _____is rotated in such a way that your filler material is horizontal to the
ground, then you will need to use this position.
3. When you weld from this position, your _________will need to be 45
degrees.
4. When performing this type of weld, the electrode and the plate sides
should form a ____.
5. It will be difficult to prevent your joint from being uneven and having the
_________at the bottom of your joint

What’s New

Horizontal Welding (2F)


This is another fillet weld position, but it is used in horizontal welding.
If you are using this position then you will need to use the top side of a horizontal
surface for welding.
The surface will be lying against another vertical surface. When you weld from
this position, your torch’s angle will need to be 45 degrees.
When your filler weld is rotated in such a way that your filler material is
horizontal to the ground, then you will need to use this position.
It’s harder to use because your molten weld pool is going to try to move
downwards and hit the ground. It will be difficult to prevent your joint from being
uneven and having the filler metal pool at the bottom of your joint.
On top of that, your heat will end up moving upward to the top of the joint.
With the metal flowing downward and the heat rising upward, it can be very easy to
mess up this weld.

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.
