Rightward techniques has certain advantages over the leftward techniques.
-Up-to 8.2mm plate thickness no bevel is necessary. This saves the cost of preparation and reduces the consumption of filler rod.
-To weld thicker metal, where beveling of plate edges becomes necessary, the included angle of V is only 60 degree which require less filler metal against 80 degree V preparation used in leftward welding technique.
-The welders view of the weld pool and the sides and bottom of the V groove is unobstructed. This result in better control and higher welding speed.
-The smaller volume for deposited metal as compared to leftward welding reduces shrinkage and distortion.
-The weld quality is better than that obtained from leftward technique.
-Due to less consumption of filler metal, the rightward technique involves lower cost of welding than leftward
technique.
