Weld Bead• A weld resulting from a pass

Passes
• Weld Pass - A single progression of welding along a joint. The result of a pass is a weld bead or layer

Techniques• Stringer (drag) (whip)• Weave
– Circles– crescent– zig zag– box weave– double J
![Page 6: SMAW Powerpoint](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061116/54669f8bb4af9f3f3f8b5368/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Progression (vertical)
• Up– deeper penetration – Higher deposit rate (lb/hr)– Use near 90 degree travel angle or slightly up
• Down – faster (point to point)– less penetration for thin metal– less dilution– Use steep grag angle
![Page 7: SMAW Powerpoint](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061116/54669f8bb4af9f3f3f8b5368/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Travel Speed
• Stay on the leading edge of the puddle
![Page 8: SMAW Powerpoint](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061116/54669f8bb4af9f3f3f8b5368/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Flat Position

Horizontal• Fillet/Groove - stringers (small weave may be used in tight place)
• Bead Placement - bottom to top

Open Root Technique
• Use root opening to allow increase in amperage for smoother welding
• Whip backwards for penetration
• Whip forwards to reduce penetration
• Do Not Weave a root pass.
• Maintain a short arc gap
• Stay slightly in front of the puddle at all times. Use the keyholing technique.

Welding grooves with Backing
• Keep the root opening wide
• Make the root pass in one bead
• Avoid tight areas at the weld toes
![Page 17: SMAW Powerpoint](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061116/54669f8bb4af9f3f3f8b5368/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Restarts
•Stagger all starts and stops or use run-on, run-off tabs
•Feather all restarts & start on top, or start in front and remelt
•Don’t restart in a coupon area.
•Also stagger all beads on a single pass.
•Use a longer arc length when starting a weld.Compare interpass grinding techniques vs. techniques for no interpass grinding.

Craters
• Fill craters by reversing direction at the weld end
• Use a short arc length to control heat.

work angle (transverse angle)• middle of joint
• directs heat between sides
• may need to direct more on heavy plate
![Page 21: SMAW Powerpoint](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061116/54669f8bb4af9f3f3f8b5368/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Transverse Angle Effects
![Page 22: SMAW Powerpoint](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061116/54669f8bb4af9f3f3f8b5368/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Drag Angle increases Penetration
Increases crown height
Push Angle gives shallow penetration, and flattens out the weld surface.
Electrode Travel Angles
![Page 23: SMAW Powerpoint](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061116/54669f8bb4af9f3f3f8b5368/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Electrode (arc) Placement
Current takes the path of least resistance. Therefore, the arc, and resulting weld, will go where the electrode end is closest to, NOT NECESSARILY IN THE DIRECTION THE ELECTRODE IS POINTING
![Page 24: SMAW Powerpoint](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061116/54669f8bb4af9f3f3f8b5368/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Arc Length
•Longer arc lengths = increased puddle heat, flatter welds, deeper penetration
•Shorter arc lengths = less puddle heat, flatter welds, less penetration
•Use arc length to control puddle size, penetration, and burn through.
•Normal arc length is 1/16” - 1/8”
•Use a slightly longer arc length during a start or restart.

Helpful Tips
•Clean your Welding Hood lens
•Drape the cable over your shoulder or knee
•Get Comfortable
•Watch the puddle, not the arc
•Concentrate on steady travel speed and arc length

SMAW Machine Setup• DCEP (also called Direct Current Reverse Polarity)
• 77 - 150 Amp Range
• #5 fine amperage setting (approximately 110 amps)
• Connect work lead
• Set for Constant Current (Variable Voltage)
![Page 27: SMAW Powerpoint](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061116/54669f8bb4af9f3f3f8b5368/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Amperage Calculations
Range: 77 - 150
Fine tune dial: 0 - 10
Desired amperage: 105 amps
150 - 77 = 73
73 / 10 = 7.3
7.3 x 6 = 43.8
43.8 + 77 = 120.8
150 - 77 = 73
73 / 10 = 7.3
105 - 77 = 28
28 / 7.3 = 3.836
Range: 77 - 150
fine tune dial: 0 - 10
dial set at: 6
