When the weld is made from under the joint.
4G - look up at the ceiling, that's overhead.
flat, horizontal, vertical and over head position
Look at a wall. Imagine welding on that wall from left to right or right to left. That is horizontal welding.
The biggest application of explosion welding is the cladding of flat plate.
The letters EN , on a welding electrode , indicate "electrode negative" , that is the electrode is to be used with a DC current , in the negative position, or polarity.
I know that PC stands for Horizontal-Vertical; although I am Unsure about pb.
flat, horizontal, vertical and over head position
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.
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 .
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
A welding positioner is a work motion device that places the weldment in a location and at an angle that allows for optimum welding parameters to be used (faster travel speed, increased current, ect.) Essentially, it places the weldment so that it is in a 1G, 1F, or 2F position. Four common types of welding positioners include tilt-tables, turning rolls, head and tailstock, and universal balance positioners.
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.
Look at a wall. Imagine welding on that wall from left to right or right to left. That is horizontal welding.
A welding position is the orientation of the weld joint, whether that be flat, horizontal, vertical, or overhead.
The 2 stands for welding position. In this case it is flat and horizontal. Have fun welding!
