WELD ANGLE
Weld angle is the angle at which the electrode is held during the welding process. Using
the correct angle ensures proper penetration and bead formation. Electrode angle
involves two positions - travel angle and work angle (See Figure 7).
Travel angle is the angle in the line of welding and may vary from 5º to 45º from the
vertical, depending on welding conditions.
Work angle is the angle from horizontal, measured at right angles to the line of welding.
For most applications, a 45º travel angle and 45º work angle is sufficient. For specific
applications, consult an arc welding handbook.
NOTE: Right handed welders should weld from left to right. Left handed welders
should weld from right to left. The electrode should always point into the weld puddle
as shown.
