Welding Position, Weld Slope and Rotation welding positions and symbols are an important criterion that determines the weld quality. It is also an essential variable in WPS, if we change the position of welding then the WPS will be also changed for a particular position. Different welding positions are used at different job locations according […] The post Welding positions: Weld Slope and Rotation appeared first on Weld World ..read more
