: Performed in the middle of a vertical plate. The weld face lies in an approximately vertical plane.
If the welder is not careful, the result is an (a groove melted into the base metal that isn't filled) on the top edge and an overlap (weld metal flowing over the base metal without fusing) on the bottom edge. The goal is to keep the molten metal suspended on the vertical surface long enough for it to solidify. horizontal position in welding
The horizontal welding position—designated as for groove welds and 2F for fillet welds—is a technique where the weld axis is roughly horizontal, but the workpiece is oriented vertically . Unlike flat welding, this is considered an "out-of-position" weld because you must actively manage gravity to prevent the molten metal from sagging.
