Stick welding overhead is classic and widely used.
Welding overhead is inherently difficult because you are working against gravity. In a 4F position, gravity constantly tries to pull the molten metal out of the joint and down onto your torch, nozzle, or protective gear. Common issues include: 4f welding position full
Spray transfer should be avoided; short-circuiting transfer is preferred for better control. Low voltage and high wire feed speed are needed. Stick welding overhead is classic and widely used
This pushes the slag (in Stick) or shielding gas backward, keeping the puddle tight and controllable. 5. Executing the Weld 4f welding position full
