Look at a wall. Imagine welding on that wall from left to right or right to left. That is horizontal welding.
1g,2g,5g and 6g in pipe welding
The meaning of 6G position in Welding is mean that the pipe or test piece inclined to 45 degree and not rotated during welding process .
5G is a welding position for pipe. The pipe is in a fixed, horizontal position. There is a groove along the circumference of the pipe where the weld is to be made.
E6013 is a mild-steel, all position, general-purpose welding electrode (rod).
1G is flat 2G is horizontal 3G is vertical 4G is overhead 5G is pipe
Depends on applicants expertise. If you are a welder, tell them what welding processes you knew, then what welding joint design you can weld and the welding position you can perform.
Welding is often done on structures in the position in which they are found. Techniques have been developed to allow welding in any position. Some welding processes have all-position capabilities, while others may be used in only one or two positions. All welding can be classified according to the position of the workpiece or the position of the welded joint on the plates or sections being welded. For Fillet welds, following are the welding positions defined: 1. Flat (1F) 2. Horizontal (2F) 3. Vertical (3F) 4. Overhead (4F) For Groove welds, following are the welding positions defined: 1. Flat (1G) 2. Horizontal (2G) 3. Vertical (3G) 4. Overhead (4G) 5. Flat 1G 6. Horizontal 2G 7. 5G position 8. 6 G position ANS BY: Vijay Hemgude. Pune (India)
Actually I usually crowd the puddle when welding vertical up. The longer the arc length the more the arc can wander.
4G is a welding position. The '4' means the weld is to be made in the overhead position. The 'G' means the weld is a groove weld.
Your question is incomplete. Which process? Which electrode? What is the basemetal, which position? etc etc
flat, horizontal, vertical and over head position
