Introductory Message

Welcome to TVL - IA (SMAW NC 1)!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Kabankalan City and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western
Visayas through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is
developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible
adults) in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education
Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is a self-directed instructional material aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The TVL - IA (SMAW NC 1) Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the teaching-
learning activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC)
with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and the learner. This will be
made available to the learners with the references/links to ease the independent
learning.

For the learner:

The TVL - IA (SMAW NC 1) Activity Sheet is developed to help you continue

learning even if you are not in school. This learning material provides you with
meaningful and engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active learner,
carefully read and understand the instructions then perform the activities and answer
the assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed schedule.

Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS)

2.1 Perform stringer or straight beads in accordance with welding

standards.
I.2 Check uniformity of bead ripples in accordance with welding standards.

II. Background Information for Learners

Types of Beads
a. Stringer Bead- a straight forward bead in which you either drag or push the
electrode across the joint with minimal side to side movement.
b. Weave motion Beads - is a method for electrode manipulation in joining
metal to achieve good weldment.

1
1. Circular Motion- often used in flat position weld on butt, tee, and outside corner
joints for build-up surfacing operation.

2. Crescent Weave Motion- A half round bead formation in which formed a side to
side semi-circular electrode movement.

3. Figure of eight motion weave –An electrode manipulation pattern where a

continuous figure of number eight is formed.

4. V- Pattern motion weave – a weave pattern commonly used in Hot pass and
cap pass by forming V-motion.

5. Stringer Bead- - a straight forward bead in which you either drag or push the
electrode across the joint with minimal side to side movement.

6. Square Pattern Motion Bead – good for flat welds but they can also be used for
vertical position. They can also be used if there is a large gap to be filled.

7. J- pattern weave motion- works well on flat and horizontal positions.

8. T- pattern weave motion – works with fillet weld in vertical and overhead
position. It can also be used for deep grove welds for the hot pass.

9. Zigzag pattern motion weave–used as cover passes in flat and vertical

positions.

Deposit Straight Beads

Requirements in base metal:
1. The base metal must be clear.
2. The base metal must be free
from oil, grease & paints.
3. The plate must have been
checked for its type.

IV. Activity Proper

Activity A (MATCHING TYPE)

Direction: Match column A. with column B. Write the letter of the correct answer on
the blank provided before the number. Use separate answer sheet.

A. B.
______ 1. Crescent motion a. A straight forward bead with
_ minimal side to side motion.
______ 2. Square Pattern motion b. Works well on flat and horizontal
_ positions.
______ 3. J-Pattern motion c. Used as a cover passes in flat and
_ horizontal positions.
______ 4. Circular motion d. A half round bead in a semi –
_ circular movement.
______ 5. Figure of 8 motion e. A continuous movement using
_ number eight pattern.
______ 6. V-Pattern motion f. Commonly used in hot pass
_ formed by V-motion

_ position with letter T-formation.
______ 8. Zigzag motion h. Often used in flat position weld on
_ butt, tee and outside corner joints
for build-up.
______ 9. Stringer bead i. Good for most flat weld but it can
_ also be used for vertical position
weld.

A. Operational Sheet

Procedure:
1. Prepare the tools, equipment and materials needed.
2. Set up the welding machine. Check the electrical connections before switching on
the machine. Set current between 90-140 amperes.
3. Wear suitable protective clothing.

4
4. Lay the plate flat in a welding table where you are comfortable as possible when
welding commences.

5. Strike an arc on the first line of the plate. If you are right-handed, the weld should
start from the left to right, but if you are left-handed, start from right to left.
6. When the arc is established, position the electrode at 75o travel angle and 90o
work angle.

7. Move the electrode with constant rate of travel controlling and maintaining the
width of bead at about 2 ½ times of the diameter of the electrode.
8. Continue welding until you reach the end of the line. Quickly withdraw the
electrode if you want to stop or reach the end of the line.
9. Clean the weld using a chipping hammer and steel brush. Use clear goggles
when chipping. The direction of chipping should be away from you.
10. Inspect the weld run. The weld should be straight, of even thickness and width
with fine ripples. The thickness of the bead should be about one and one-half of
the electrode diameter.
11. Finish all the laid-out lines. Avoid the same mistakes you did on your first try.

5
12. The marking system below will guide you in assessing the quality of your weld.
Follow the marking schedule in rating your weld and record the marks on the
table provided for the purpose. Subtract the total marks from 20 points, which is
the highest rating to determine your final points.
The passing mark is 10 points.

Marking Schedule:
1. Straightness Subtract 1 mark for each degree of deflection from the line of weld.
2. Width of Bead Subtract 2 marks for each 10mm length of bead which is 1mm less
than or more than the bead width of 8mm.
3. Height of Bead Subtract 2 marks for 10mm length of bead which exceeds the
bead height of 3mm.
4. Ripple Subtract 3 points for uneven and coarse ripple.
