Whether you are preparing for a certification test or looking to improve your fabrication skills, spending time on the 2G position is an investment that pays dividends across all welding processes.
In this setup, the weld axis is roughly horizontal (or at a 45-degree angle for pipe). For plate welding, the workpiece stands vertically, and the weld bead runs horizontally along the plate. For pipe welding, the pipe is positioned vertically (standing up), and the welder moves around the pipe horizontally. 2g welding position
