2) Welding of overhead welding and downward climbing part: The arc should be held down when the rod is delivered by transverse swing, the rod delivery amplitude is small and the speed is fast, and the inclination angle between covered electrode and the pipe tangent is about 80 ~ 85.
When welding upwards, the covered electrode angle becomes larger and the covered electrode depth becomes shallower. At 7 o'clock, the end of covered electrode is about 1mm from the bottom of the trough, and the covered electrode angle is 100- 105. At this time, about 1/2 arc burns in the tube, the lateral swing amplitude increases, and it stops at both ends of the groove. When vertical welding is achieved, the inclination angle between covered electrode and the pipe tangent is 90.
