Vertical up welding is preferred in most instances as better penetration is achieved and the slag does not run down into the arc. Down hand welding is mostly used on thin material so as not to burn thru the metal. Travel speed is usually increased also.

Should braze welding be done in flat position?

Flat position welding is when your job is in a horizontal position the easiest and best position to do welding, then you get vertical up position where the trick is to weave your arc in a V formation, vertical down is used on thin material if its possible at an angle of 45 degrees last overhead that is the most difficult the opposite of flat welding where the job is upside down anytime you look directly down on your weld joint, it is a flat weld, flat position weld are not affected by gravity, as opposed to horizontal, vertical, and overhead, all of which the puddle tends to "sag" as you weld


Mig welding or arc welding?

Technically speaking, MIG welding is arc welding because it uses an intensely hot electrical arc to heat and join the metal together. Usually arc welding means stick welding. The difference between the processes is the manner in which the filler metal is applied. With MIG welding, the filler metal is usually applied with a wire fed through a gun type device with an inert gas such as argon shielding the weld. Arc (or stick) welding uses a solid electrode of the same type of metal as is being joined shielded by a layer of flux. The method of welding depends on the user's skill and what is to be welded.
