How To Arc Weld Vertical Down. 316-38 steel plate Demonstrate an ability to weld a 6 fillet multi-pass weld joint 6 passes This joint is identified as six pass T-fillet weld in the vertical down position. The face of the weld shall be flush with the surface of the base metal and the weld shall merge smoothly with the base metal.
Undercut shall not exceed 132 in. The displacement of molten metal is a prerequisite for success when welding vertically-down. Starting the arc welder stick is actually easy.
This is a little easier.
When the puddle freezes return the electrode and apply another level to the leading edge of the weld. See illustration A for that. When the puddle freezes return the electrode and apply another level to the leading edge of the weld. It closely resembles what is actually seen during welding.
