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 fingers 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.

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 firmly.
-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, filler, 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 fillet welds, vertical up and vertical down welds will
need more than one pass. A root pass should be made, along with a
filler and cap pass.

INFORMATION SHEET NO. 1.4

Overhead Welding
Welding in the 4G or 4F position is the most difficult of the out-ofposition 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 flat position, except that they are far
more difficult. 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 difficult 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.
