Types of weld bead
The following paragraphs discuss the most commonly used arc welding beads.
The STRINGER BEAD is formed by traveling with the electrode in a straight line
while keeping it centred over the weld joint.
The WEAVE BEAD is used when you want to deposit metal over a wider space
than would be possible with a stringer bead. It is made by weaving from side to
side while moving with the electrode. It is best to pause momentarily at each side
before weaving back the other way to improve penetration.
Welding position
FLAT POSITION is the easiest of the welding positions and is most commonly
used. It is best if you can weld in the at position if at all possible as good results
are easier to achieve.
