    Welding Position

    The easiest welding position is flat or downhand (PA) as gravity helps guide the weld metal. Any deviation from this flat position makes welding more difficult due to a lack of gravity assistance. Positional welding, other than flat, relies on arc force and surface tension which can affect weld properties and defects. Various welding positions are coded for simplicity, such as flat (PA), horizontal vertical (PB), horizontal (PC), and overhead (PE).

    WELDING POSITIONS

    The easiest position for welding is the flat or downhand position. Any deviation from this
    position, other than small deviations in slope makes successful welding much more difficult.
    This is because gravity does not help in positioning of the weld metal.
    Positional welding (other than flat) often relies on arc force and surface tension effect;
    therefore the welding position may affect the mechanical properties of the weld and the
    likelihood of defects.
    For simplicity the various welding positions are coded as shown below.
