What is Facing Surface in Welding?
The facing surface is the area of a material that will be in contact with another material during welding. This surface must be clean and smooth in order to create a strong weld. Facing surfaces can be cleaned using a variety of methods, including:
- sanding,
- grinding,
- or chemical cleaning.
Advantages of Facing Surface
Facing surface provides many advantages during welding, including:
- Creating a strong weld.
- Preventing weld defects.
- Allowing for proper heat transfer.
- Ensuring the correct amount of filler material is used.
- Reducing welding time and costs.
What is the root face of a weld?
The root face is the side of a weld where the filler material meets the base metal. This surface must be smooth in order to create a strong weld.
What are the 4 positions of welding?
The four positions of welding are:
- Flat position.
- Horizontal position.
- Vertical position.
- Overhead position.
Fillet weld
It can be made in all four positions, while groove welds are limited to the flat and horizontal positions.
