Welding Inclined Plate
These procedures are used when:
1.The work cannot be positioned in the level position for high speed welding with High Deposition Jetweld electrodes.
2.The weld is made partly in the level position and partly downhill.
Fleetweld 47 electrodes have a fairly high iron powder content in the coating, which provides a good deposition rate consistent with downhill welding ability.
Using a drag technique, maintain about a 5/32” distance between the end of the electrode and the molten slag. If the distance is too great, skips occur in the weld. If the distance is too short, the slag will flow under the arc causing slag holes.
