DC STICK OPERATION
1. SETTING UP THE WORK PIECE
a. Welding Positions - There are two basic positions, for welding: Flat and Horizontal.
Flat welding is generally easier, faster, and allows for better penetration. If possible,
the work piece should be positioned so that the bead will run on a flat surface.
b. Preparing the Joint- Before Welding - The surface of the work piece needs to be free
of dirt, rust, scale, oil, or paint or it will create brittle and porous welds. If the base
metal pieces to be joined are thick or heavy, it may be necessary to bevel the edges
with a metal grinder; the correct bevel should be around 60 degrees. See the
following illustration:
Based on different welding position, there are different welding joint, see following images for more
information.
