Tack welding is the welding technique that we use for

temporary welds that hold parts together ready for

final welding. It maintains the desired alignment and
gap between the pieces of metal being joined. In the
first part of the video, it shows that we need to tack
first both ends for the preparation for lap joint and
tee joint. C pattern is the weave pattern that we use
in this welding. It is a semi-circular crescent weave,
and the angle of the welding rod should be 45 degree.
Flat and horizontal positions are used in lap joints
then, Vertical up which is the welding starts on the
bottom to up are used in tee joints. Body posture is
also important in welding, bad posture may lead to
poor welds which may need to be repeated. The video
also shows how our body postures should be when we
perform welding. He positions himself in a stable, and
comfortable posture. The position of the welding
metal is as flat as possible, on a horizontal surface,
between waist and elbow height. Our teacher did not
also bend towards the process of welding metal and
only his dominant hand is moving.
