Welding Angles for Inside Corner Joints

The document provides guidance on welding techniques for different types of joints and welding positions. It recommends holding the electrode at a 45 degree angle when fillet welding inside corners or T-joints. For butt joints, it suggests using a 5-15 degree drag travel angle and positioning the welding wire directly over the weld axis. Vertical and overhead positions are also briefly mentioned.

Fillet Weld on an Inside Corner or T-Joint

The electrode should be held at a 45° work angle. Aiming the wire more
toward the vertical surface may improve the bead shape. This helps
compensate for the molten metal sag. For the best penetration and weld
pool control, use a 5°–15° drag travel angle. On thin metals, use a 5°–15°
push travel angle.
Groove Weld on a Butt Joint

When a butt weld is being made, the centerline of the welding wire
should be directly over the axis of the weld. A drag travel angle of
between 5°–15° is correct for the backhand welding method.
See Figure Adjusting the travel angle to near zero reduced the
penetration. A push travel angle, which is forehand welding, can be
used to further reduce or control the penetration on thin metals.
