How to Use This Competency Based Learning Materials
Welcome to the module in Performing Groove Welding on Carbon
Steel Plates. This module contains training materials and activities
for you to comply.
The unit of competency Weld Carbon Steel Plates contains
knowledge, skills and attitudes essential for Shielded Metal Arc
Welding NC II.
You are required to go through a series of learning activities in
order to complete each learning outcome in the module. In each
learning outcome are information sheets, self-checks, operation sheets
and job sheets. Follow these activities on your own. If you have
questions, dont hesitate to ask your facilitator for assistance.
This module was prepared to help achieve the required competency
in Shielded Metal Arc Welding NC II.
When you have completed this module and feel confdent that you
have had sufcient practice, tell your trainer that you are ready for
assessment. He will arrange an appointment with a registered
assessor to assess you. The results of your assessment will be
recorded in your competency Achievement Record.

Learning style
a. Visual - The visual learner takes
mental pictures of information given, so
in order for this kind of learner to
retain information, oral or written,
presentations of new information
must contain diagrams and drawings,
preferably in color. The visual learner
can't concentrate with a lot of
activity around him and will focus
better and learn faster in a quiet study
environment.

b. Kinesthetic - described as the
students in the classroom, who have
problems sitting still and who often
bounce their legs while tapping their
fngers on the desks. They are often
referred to as hyperactive students
with concentration issues.
c. Auditory- a learner who has
the ability to remember speeches
and lectures in detail but has a hard
time with written text. Having to read
long texts is pointless and will not be
retained by the auditory learner unless it
is read aloud.
Other needs a. Financially
challenged
b. Working student
c. Solo parent
d. Others(please specify)

Horizontal Welding
When welding in the 2G or 2F position it is necessary to control the
weld puddle and travel speed to produce a strong weld. The horizontal
position is used widely in agricultural sectors to make repairs.
The steps necessary to perform welds in the 2G or 2F position are:
-Secure the plate in a position for running beads in a straight line
from left to right. Use adjustable locking piers or C-clamps to secure
the metal frmly.
-When performing this type of weld, the electrode and the plate
sides should form a 90 angle. Lean the electrode slightly in the
direction of the weld area.
-Adjust the amperage, travel speed, and arc length to prevent the
weld puddle from running or sagging.
-Metal that is over 1/8 inch thick should be beveled prior to
welding in the horizontal position. If welding thicker metal, or metal
that has been beveled, it is necessary to make more than one weld
pass to enhance the strength of the weld.
-A root, fller, and cap pass will be necessary.

Vertical Welding
There are two basic techniques for performing welds in the vertical
position. These two techniques are commonly referred to as vertical
up and vertical down. These two techniques can be used to perform
welds in the 3G and 3F positions.
The following is a set of instructions for performing vertical up
and vertical down welds. For most welders, light metal is easier to
weld than heavy metal because it requires less penetration.
Be certain that the metal plate is secured in a vertical position. The
use of adjustable locking pliers or C-clamps is recommended to aid in
securing the metal in position.
Position the electrode at an angle of 60 to the plate and in the
path of the weld. The electrode should be perpendicular to the sides of
the plate.
For vertical down welding, begin at the top of the plate with a
short arc. If the electrode sticks, stop and increase the amperage. If
the electrode burns through the metal, lower the amperage. If the
electrode continues to burn through the metal, increase the speed of
the electrode movement downward.

When welding vertical up, position the electrode 85 to the plate
in the path of the weld. Begin at the bottom of the plate and work up.
Use the same procedures if the electrode sticks or burns through the
metal.
As you become better at welding in the 3G and 3F positions, begin
work on thicker metals. Experiment and increase the amperage
accordingly. When welding thick plate, use one or more side-to-side
electrode movements.
As with fllet welds, vertical up and vertical down welds will
need more than one pass. A root pass should be made, along with a
fller and cap pass.

Overhead Welding
Welding in the 4G or 4F position is the most difcult of the out-of-
position welds. The major challenge in this type of welding is
controlling the weld puddle. The procedures for performing overhead
welds are very similar to the fat position, except that they are far

more difcult. It is necessary to pay special attention to the weld
puddle and travel speed. You must maintain a short arc as well.
The steps in overhead welding are:
Secure the metal overhead with the use of an adjustable locking
pliers or C-clamps.
Find a position that is comfortable for you before starting to weld.
Welding in the 4G or 4F position is much more difcult if the welder is
uncomfortable from the start.
Adjust the amperage setting and travel speed. The amperage should
be set at approximately the same setting as needed during vertical
welding (3). Be certain to maintain a very short arc length throughout
the entire process.
Weld with a short arc and use a moderately fast rate of travel to
prevent sagging and undercutting.
A weaving pattern is recommended for use on heavier metals. This
motion must be faster than weaves used for other position welds.
Three passes will be needed to complete this weld properly.

is rolled when welding. This is basically welding in the fat position. The 1G
