Vertical Welding
 There are two basic techniques for performing welds in the vertical position.
These two techniques are commonly referred to as “vertical up” and “vertical down.”
These two techniques can be used to perform welds in the 3G and 3F positions.
The following is a set of instructions for performing “vertical up” and “vertical
down” welds. For most welders, light metal is easier to weld than heavy metal
because it requires less penetration.

Position the electrode at an angle of 60º to the plate and in the path of the weld.
The electrode should be perpendicular to the sides of the plate.
For “vertical down” welding, begin at the top of the plate with a short arc. If the
electrode sticks, stop and increase the amperage. If the electrode burns through the
metal, lower the amperage. If the electrode continues to burn through the metal,
increase the speed of the electrode movement downward.

In welding “vertical up”, position the electrode 85º to the plate in the path of the
weld. Begin at the bottom of the plate and work up. Use the same procedures if the
electrode sticks or burns through the metal.
 When welding thick plate, use one or more side-to-side electrode movements.

As with fillet welds, “vertical up” and “vertical down” welds will need more than
one pass. A root pass should be made, along with a filler and cap pass.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA:
1. Root penetration not exceeding allowable tolerances specified by welding
codes/standards on; concavity, convexity, undercut, excess penetration, lack of
fusion, burn-through and cracks.
2. Weld capping/final pass not exceeding allowable tolerances specified by welding
codes/standards on; height of reinforcement, under fill, porosities, undercut, cracks
and cold laps.
3. Uniformity of bead ripples must be in accordance with welding standards.
4. Stringer or layered beads deposited in accordance with welding standards.
5. Finish weldment visually acceptable in accordance with welding standards on;
spatters, arc strikes; slag; uniformity of beads.

CONDITIONS:
Students/trainees must be provided with the following:
1. WORKPLACE
 2. TOOLS, ACCESSORIES AND SUPPLIES
Welding mask, electrodes, steel brush, clear and dark glass, chipping hammer,
mechanical pliers.
3. EQUIPMENT

Welding booth, portable oven
4. TRAINING MATERIALS

ASSESSMENT METHODS:
Direct observation
Visual examination of plates
