Is the angle between the electrode and the weld in a plane that is parallel to the direction of travel.
Why is the angle of travel needed in the welding process?
In the diagram on the right, the travel angle shows a 5-10 degree tilt along the joint. This gives the welder a better view of what’s going on in the puddle. When you drag your torch or electrode, the tilt is directed towards the puddle, which helps with penetration and achieving a thick bead.
What is the difference between work angle and travel angle in welding?
Work angle is “the relationship between the axis of the electrode to the welders work piece”. Travel angle refers to employing either a push angle (pointing in the direction of travel) or a drag angle, when the electrode is pointed opposite of travel.
