4g Position Welding ((new)) – Must Try
Because you are working directly beneath the arc, safety is the first priority. Spark and slag fall straight down, making traditional gear insufficient.
MIG welding overhead requires precision in parameter settings. 4g position welding
Keep your electrode or torch perpendicular to the plates. If you lean too far, the force of the arc will push the metal out of the groove rather than into it. Because you are working directly beneath the arc,
TIG in the 4G position is arguably the most difficult due to the fluidity of the puddle. Keep your electrode or torch perpendicular to the plates
He was a good welder. Great, even. He could run a 1G bead that looked like a stack of dimes laid out by a jeweler. But the overhead joint was his gremlin. Every time he struck an arc, gravity won. The puddle sagged, dripped, and left a ropy, slag-filled mess on the ceiling of the test plate.
The slag dripped. He ignored it.
