How do you weld 6G position in pipe welding?

How do you weld 6G position in pipe welding?

In the 6G welding position, the pipe slopes at approximately 45° from the horizontal (X) axis or 45° from the vertical (Y) axis. The pipe is in a fixed position, so the welder must move around the pipe to perform the welding.

How hard is 6G welding?

The 6G position is a combination of all of the structural and pipe welding positions, with a full transition between them all, plus a hard side and easy side, depending on if you are left handed or right! Practice 5G pipe the most and the rest will come easy. Otherwise it will take more time to learn to weld pipe!

What are the steps in 6G welding?

Pipe welding Process: SMAW 6G Pipe Basic Certification

1. Bevel the Edges. For this certification, you need to make sure your bevels are at a nice 35-degree angle.
2. Prepare and Put Together the Joint. Before you get started, make sure you know the size of the filler metal you are going to be working with.
3. Weld!
4. Test Weld Run.

How do I get certified in 6g welding?

6G Welder Certification Process When applying directly to the AWS, the welder uses a third-party testing site and the test results are submitted with the registration form. The process for other providers generally includes taking a training course and then performing a hands-on certification test.

Why 6G is the most difficult welding position?

This is because the molten filling metal flows downwards during the welding process, pulled by gravity into the joint cavity. This presents a very challenging position for a welder, who uses all his skills and a variety of body positions to accomplish the most difficult weld in the 6G join: the overhead weld.

What is a 5F weld?

A 5F weld joint is a tube welded to a plate where the axis of the tube is horizontal and the plate is vertical. A 5F weld joint is a bit more challenging than a 2F. and the thing that makes it difficult is mainly body positioning.
