DEF

A welding technique in which the arc force or gun is directed opposite to the progress of welding.

OBS

The term backhand technique is sometimes referred to as the "pull gun technique" in GMAW (gas metal arc welding) and in FCAW (flux-cored arc welding).

OBS

In this method, the torch precedes the welding rod, ... the torch is held at approximately a 45 degree angle from the vertical away from the direction of welding, with the flame directed at the molten puddle. The welding rod is between the flame and the molten puddle. This position requires less transverse motion than is used in forehand welding.

OBS

backhand welding; pull gun technique: terms standardized by the American Welding Society (AWS).

OBS

backhand welding: term officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).
