Abstract
The results of root pass welding trials using automatic TIG in the vertical position, both in the upward and downward directions is described. The welding was carried out introducing a non-current-carrying filler wire and using a modulated welding current. The filler wire, fed synchronously with the weld current modulation, allowed much better control of the weld pool even in this constrained position.
