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.
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
flat, horizontal, vertical and over head position
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!
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)
