    The document discusses electrode angles in welding. It defines electrode angle as the angle at which the welder holds the electrode, which greatly affects the shape of the weld bead. There are two types of electrode angles: the work angle, which is the angle from horizontal measured at right angles to the welding direction, and the travel angle, which is the angle in the welding direction and typically ranges from 5 to 30 degrees. The proper travel angle for a groove weld is typically about 20 degrees but can range from 0 to 40 degrees depending on the application.

    LESSON

    Electrode Angle

    The angle at which you hold the electrode greatly affects the shape of the weld bead
    which is very important in fillet and deep groove welding.

    The electrode angle consists of two positions: work angle and travel angle.

    Work angle is the angle from the horizontal measured at right angles to the
    direction of welding (fig, 7-15).

    Travel angle is the angle in the direction of welding and may vary from 5 to 30
    degrees, depending on the welder's choice and conditions (fig. 7-16).

    Work angle is especially important in multiple-pass fillet welding. Normally, a


    small variance of the work angle will not affect the appearance or quality of a weld;
    however, when undercuts occur in the vertical section of a fillet weld, the angle of
    the arc should be lowered and the electrode directed more toward the vertical
    section.

    The travel angle is the angle measured between the axis of the electrode and the
    axis of an imaginary line perpendicular to the weld axis. The proper
    travel angle for a groove weld is typically about twenty degrees, but may range
    from zero degrees to about forty degrees, depending on the application.

    Angle of travel. When welding in the flat and horizontal positions, drag the
    electrode at a 5- to 10-degree angle. When welding vertical-up or overhead, push
    the electrode at a 5- to 10-degree angle.

    Angle of travel: Stick welding in the flat, horizontal and overhead positions uses a
    drag or backhand welding technique. Hold the electrode perpendicular to the joint,
    and then tilt the top in the direction of travel approximately 5 to 15 degrees. For
    welding vertical up, use a push or forehand technique and tilt the top of the
    electrode 0 to 15 degrees away from the direction of travel.

    Electrode Angles
    The American Welding Society uses two terms to describe the position of the
    electrode, gun or torch. These terms are used throughout this book and in industry
    to describe the position of the electrode in relation to the material being welded.
    The two terms used to describe the electrode angle, or position, are the travel angle
    and the work angle.
    Travel Angle of a Fillet Weld
    The electrode travel angle for a fillet weld is measured in a plane defined by the
    weld axis and the electrode axis. In this drawing, the electrode is at a forty five
    degree angle from the base metal. The travel angle is the angle between the
    electrode axis and an imaginary line in the plane that is perpendicular to the weld
    axis. The proper travel angle for a fillet weld is typically about twenty degrees, but
    may range from zero to about forty degrees, depending on the application.

    Travel Angle for a Groove Weld


    An electrode's travel angle is measured in a plane defined by the weld axis and the
    electrode axis. The travel angle is the angle measured between the axis of the
    electrode and the axis of an imaginary line perpendicular to the weld axis. The
    proper travel angle for a groove weld is typically about twenty degrees, but may
    range from zero degrees to about forty degrees, depending on the application.
