TIG Welding Overhead Position Repair !

TIG welding overhead position repair can be challenging for several reasons:

1. Gravity: Welding in an overhead position means that the molten metal will be constantly fighting against gravity, making it more difficult to control the weld pool and maintain proper penetration.

2. Limited visibility: When welding overhead, the welder's view of the joint is often obstructed, making it harder to see the weld pool and ensure proper alignment and penetration.

3. Fatigue: Welding overhead requires the welder to hold the torch above their head for an extended period, which can lead to fatigue in the arms, shoulders, and neck. This can affect the welder's ability to maintain a steady hand and make precise movements.

Overall, TIG welding overhead repair requires a high level of skill, experience, and attention to detail. It is important to have proper training and practice before attempting overhead welding to ensure successful and high-quality repairs.
