INFORMATION SHEET NO. 1.1-1
ESSENTIALS OF WELDING
After reading the Information Sheet, the trainee must be able to

determine the essentials of welding.
Weld quality and consistency can only be maintained with respect to the five
essentials. The five essentials of welding include the use of correct electrode size, current,
arc length or voltage, travel speed and electrode angles. All five must be collectively and
consistently maintain to successfully control the puddle and produce a weld that is
uniform in appearance, have consistent ripples, smooth face contour, and no
noticeable defect. Once the welder masters the ability to consistently maintain the
five essentials, the ability to control the puddle will follow.
ELECTRODE SIZE
Choosing the correct electrode size involves many factors. If a smaller

recommended electrode is used, welding time and heat to the joint will increase. It can
result in increased costs, heat affected zone, cracking or distortion.
Larger electrode can cause melt — through and can be difficult to control in out of
position
Joints. Poor appearance and possible defects can result. The welding procedure
designates the correct electrode size, generally based on metal type and thickness.
However, if no procedure or instruction is available the welder will have to choose the
correct electrode size.
CURRENT
The correct current setting is vital for maintaining consistency in weld quality.
If the current is too high, the electrode melts too fast, and the molten pool is larger and
irregular. If the current is too high when welding single vee -groove, it might blow holes
through the joint and cause large molten metal droplets to fall out of the groove.
If the current is too low, there is not enough heat to melt the base metal. The
molten pool will be too small, piles up, and looks irregular. Poor penetration and
incomplete fusion in the joint can result.
TRAVEL SPEED
CABUCGAYAN
Date Developed:
Incorrect travel is a common mistake. Sometimes travel speed is the only
condition a welder may need to change. Travelling too fast causes the puddle to
freeze too quickly. Because of this, impurities and gases can become entrapped,
making the bead face narrow with pointing ripple. Incomplete penetration due to
loss of the keyhole in root pass is possible.
Travelling too slow will cause the puddle to be large, with pile — up, and a
straight ripple pattern. For out of position welding, slow travel sped can cause the
puddle to drip out the joint.
ELECTRODE ANGLE
One of the most essentials is the use of the correct electrode angles. For
fillet and groove welds, correct electrode angles are vital for preventing undercut and
inadequate fill. When depositing a fillet weld the electrode should be held so that it
bisects the angle between the plates and is perpendicular to the line of the weld. On
groove weld, the technique is much the same; although varying slightly with
multiple pass welding.
There are two teams to specify electrode angles. These are travel angle and
work angles.
The travel angle applies to the position the electrode make with a reference
perpendicular to the axis of the weld in plane of the weld axis. It can be either a drag
angle or a push angle. A drag angle is when the electrode is pointing backward,
meaning the welder's hand and electrode holder proceeds the puddle. A push angle is
when electrode is pointing just the opposite of the drag.
The work angle is the position the electrode makes with reference to the
surface of the plate on a plane perpendicular to the weld axis. On butt joints the
work angle is usually 90 degrees to the surface of the plate.
To some degree, you can correct for an improper condition by varying the
essential variables. It is better though to have all conditions as correct as possible.
ARC LENGTH
Arc length is very important for weld puddle control. Correct arc length will cause
the deposit to be neat of even ripple and of good penetration.
Too long arc length will cause the deposit to coarse rippled and flatter than
normal with an increase in spatter. When welding a root pass in an open root vee groove,
the keyhole can grow too large and loose of weld control can result.
Too short an arc will cause deposited to be narrow, uneven and irregular rippled and with
poor fusion. The arc length reduces the voltage and increases the amperage slightly but the
electrode may stick to the work. When welding root passes, too short an arc length often
results in loss of the keyhole.

Welding Personal Protective Equipment

(PPE)
After reading the Information Sheet, the trainee must be able to identify the
different personal protective equipment and their uses.
The hazards in arc welding can endanger a welder's life if he/she is not
wearing the proper protective clothing and equipment. Here are some information on
the suitable outfit that a welder must wear while welding:
WELDING SHIELD/ HELMET
Welding shield/ helmet is used to protect the face and eyes from the arc rays
(Infrared Rays, Ultra Violet Rays) and heat and spatter from the molten metal. The
arc is viewed through a filter which reduces the intensity of radiation but allows
a safe amount of light to pass for viewing the weld pool and end of the electrode.
The recommended minimum protective filter based on the welding current to
be used is shown in the table below:

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.
Horizontal Welding (2G)
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.
March 2022
TRADES
CNSAT
-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.
Vertical Welding (3G)
There are two basic techniques for performing welds in the vertical
position. These two techniques are commonly referred to as “vertical up”
and “vertical down.” These two techniques can be used to perform welds
in the 3G and 3F positions.
The following is a set of instructions for performing “vertical up” and
“vertical down” welds. For most welders, light metal is easier to weld than
heavy metal because it requires less penetration.

March 2022
TRADES
CNSAT
Be certain that the metal plate is secured in a vertical position. The
use of adjustable locking pliers or C-clamps is recommended to aid in
securing the metal in position.
Position the electrode at an angle of 60º to the plate and in the path of
the weld. The electrode should be perpendicular to the sides of the plate.
For “vertical down” welding, begin at the top of the plate with a short
arc. If the electrode sticks, stop and increase the amperage. If the
electrode burns through the metal, lower the amperage. If the electrode
continues to burn through the metal, increase the speed of the electrode
movement downward.
When welding “vertical up”, position the electrode 85º to the plate in
the path of the weld. Begin at the bottom of the plate and work up. Use
the same procedures if the electrode sticks or burns through the metal.

March 2022
TRADES
CNSAT
As you become better at welding in the 3G and 3F positions, begin
work on thicker metals. Experiment and increase the amperage
accordingly. When welding thick plate, use one or more side-to-side
electrode movements.
As with fillet welds, “vertical up” and “vertical down” welds will need
more than one pass. A root pass should be made, along with a filler and
cap pass.
Overhead Welding
March 2022
TRADES
CNSAT
Welding in the 4G or 4F position is the most difficult of the out-of-
position welds. The major challenge in this type of welding is controlling
the weld puddle. The procedures for performing overhead welds are very
similar to the flat position, except that they are far more difficult. It is
necessary to pay special attention to the weld puddle and travel speed.
You must maintain a short arc as well.
The steps in overhead welding are:
Secure the metal overhead with the use of an adjustable locking pliers
or C-clamps.
Find a position that is comfortable for you before starting to weld.
Welding in the 4G or 4F position is much more difficult if the welder is
uncomfortable from the start.
Adjust the amperage setting and travel speed. The amperage should
be set at approximately the same setting as needed during vertical
welding (3). Be certain to maintain a very short arc length throughout the
entire process.
Weld with a short arc and use a moderately fast rate of travel to
prevent sagging and undercutting.
A weaving pattern is recommended for use on heavier metals. This

motion must be faster than weaves used for other position welds. Three
passes will be needed to complete this weld properly.
