Lesson WELD CARBON STEEL

1 PLATES IN HORIZONTAL
POSITION (2G)
We know the fact that skill is one of the demands here in our country as well as in
abroad. One of the important positions in SMAW that students must possess is what
we call horizontal position(2G). As we go deeper on the topics of SMAW, we encounter
the different positions in welding.

What’s In

In the previous topic we discussed about groove in flat positions. What do you
think the difference between flat and horizontal position?

What’s New

Today, it is a healthy competition to everyone with respects to their skills. One of the
secrets to earn skills is constant correct practice and attitude towards work. Types
of welding positions is one of the keys for success in the field of welding.

2
 What Is It

Horizontal Position (2G and 2F)

This is an out of position welding position. It’s a more difficult position

compared to the flat position and it requires more skill from the welding operator to
do them well.

2G is a groove weld position that involves placing the weld axis in a horizontal
plane or approximately horizontal. As for the face of the weld, it should lie in an
approximately vertical plane.

2F is a fillet weld position, in which the welding is done on the upper side of
the surfaces that is approximately horizontal that lies against a surface that is
approximately vertical. In this position, the torch is usually held at a 45-degree angle.

1 - stands for the flat position (F) 2 - stands for the horizontal position (H) 3 - stands
for the vertical position (V) 4 - stands for the overhead position (O) F - stands for a
filler weld joint G - stands for a groove weld joint.

Base metal

The metal or alloy being welded, brazed, soldered, or cut. See base material
and substrate. Base metal test specimen. A test specimen composed wholly of base
metal.

Base Metal Zone (BMZ)

The portion of base metal adjacent to a weld, braze or solder joint or thermal
cut and unaffected by welding, brazing, soldering, or thermal cutting. See heat-
affected zone and weld metal zone.

Edge preparation

The preparation of the edges of the joint members, by cutting, cleaning,

plating, or other means. Edge shape. The shape of the edge of the joint member. See
also skewed joint. Effective throat.

The minimum distance from the fillet weld face, minus any convexity, and the
weld root. In the case of a fillet weld combined with a groove weld, the weld root of
the groove weld shall be used. See concave and convex fillet weld.

Electrode

A component of the secondary circuit terminating at the arc, molten

conductive slag, or base metal. See consumable electrode, cutting electrode, non-
consumable electrode, resistance welding electrode, tungsten electrode, and welding

3
electrode. Electrode adapter, resistance welding. A device used to adapt an electrode
to an electrode holder. Electrode cap.

A replaceable electrode adapter tip used for resistance spot welding. Electrode
extension. The length of electrode extending beyond the electrode holder or cutting
torch (carbon arc cutting). See constricted arc.

Bevel angle

The angle between the bevel of a joint member and a plane perpendicular to
the surface of the member. Bevel edge shape. A type of edge shape in which the
prepared surface or surfaces lies at some angle other than perpendicular to the
material surface. Bevel radius. The radius used to form a J-edge shape.

Double-bevel edge shape

A type of bevel edge shape having two prepared surfaces adjacent to opposite
sides of the material.

Double-bevel groove

A double-sided weld groove formed by the combination of a butting member

having a double-bevel edge shape abutting a planar surface of a companion member.
Double-bevel groove weld. A weld in a double-bevel groove welded from both sides.

2G plate

A welding test position designation for a linear groove weld applied to a joint
in which the weld is made in the horizontal welding position.

What’s More

In a piece of paper, write your own steps or procedures in making a bevel on a

certain plate.

What I Have Learned

In your activity notebook, differentiate Double-bevel edge shape and Double-bevel

groove.
