Demonstration of proper overhead manipulation techniques

to demonstrate proper overhead manipulation techniques we will show both fillets and groove welds here too both type and diameter of electrode in addition to Plate thickness are carefully considered in arriving at a proper current setting with reverse polarity DC using a 532 AWS class e610 allos electrode our machine setting is in the neighborhood of 130 amp to produce 24 to 26 volt if the arc length is correct as soon as the arc is established we must build up the weld to the required size and shape because of gravity the size of the molten pool in overhead welding is limited also to offset the effect of gravity we must direct the electrode toward the overhead plate at about this angle
