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.
