SMAW: Horizontal, Vertical, and Overhead Welding Positions CHAPTER 13 Chapter Review OBJECTIVE: You will be able to demonstrate how to make acceptable out-of-position SMAW welds on butt, lap, inside corner, outside corner, and T-joints. Instructions Carefully read Chapter 13 of the text and study the figures. Then, answer or complete the following questions. 1. _____ It is best to use an electrode with a slag that cools quickly when welding out of position. This helps to keep the molten metal from sagging. Which of the electrodes listed below is not suitable for welding out of position? A. E6013. B. E9011. C. E6010. D. E7028. E. E7015. 2. When welding downhill, slag should not be allowed to enter the weld pool. Why? _ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3. _____ True or False? Out-of-position welds may be made with many weld passes. 4. A travel angle of _____°–_____° is used when welding vertically, regardless of the joint type. _ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 5. _____ True or False? The electrode angles used while welding vertically are the same as those used when welding in the flat welding position. 6. If a drag angle of 40° is used when welding a fillet weld in the horizontal position, what will probably happen to weld bead? _the __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 7.

Electrodes may be placed into the electrode holder at various angles, but should never be bent. 9. _____ How do the electrode angles used for a fillet weld in the horizontal position differ from the electrode angles used for a fillet weld in the flat welding position? A. The electrode is tilted forward more. B. The angle from the electrode to the base metal is greater. C. The electrode is tilted backward farther. D. The angle from the electrode to the base metal is smaller. E. The angles are the same in both positions.
