COURSE OF STUDY

SHIELDED METAL ARC WELDER (H-024-1)

MODULE 14: 1G PLATE SMAW PROCESS

Module Synopsis

This module is designed to help trainee to acquire knowledge and skill in 1G plate SMAW process. At the end of this module the
trainees will be able to:

 Select welding electrode and set welding current

 Align and tack weld plates
 Carry out welding using E6010 and E6013 also low hydrogen electrode

Module Objectives:

Weld carbon steel plate of thickness range 6mm to 9mm, in 1g position by selecting, preparing, setting the plate using smaw
process and checking the weldment so that the plate is welded according to welding instruction/procedure and the weldment is free
from defect and meet the specified welding standard.
