IV. PROCEDURES:

Pre-activity
 Checking of Attendance by the class monitor.
 Review of previous lesson.
a. What are the considerations in setting up welding positioner?
b. It is needed to determine the location where we position our
welding positioners? Why?
 Motivation: (videos) having relation to today’s topic
 Introduce the lesson/Review. In this learning competencies you will know
how to strike an arc in your work piece.
 A. ACTIVITY: Group activity
Student will group into 4, each group they will perform the
assigned task given. The task will be sparking using matches and wet
storage battery with alligator clamp.
Group 1 and 2 – sparking using matches
Group 3 and 4 – sparking wet storage battery with alligator clamp

B. Analysis
Group Discussion
What did you do to create a spark?
What are your steps in creating a spark?
What method did you do to start sparking?
Why do you need to have correct procedure and method to create a
spark?

C. ABSTRACTION

Power point Presentation - Methods in Starting an Arc.

WELDING PROCEDURE
1. Prepare the tools, equipment and materials needed.
2. Set up the welding machine and set the current to
100 amps.
3. Wear protective clothing and equipment.
4. Clamp the bare end of the electrode in the holder.
5. Position your body in such a way that your head
will be cleared of the column of fumes arising from
the arc (Fig. 28)
6. Strike the arc by either of the two methods.
6.1.3 When a spark appears, withdraw the electrode
quickly and draw an arc of approximately 6 mm.
6.1.4 Move the electrode to the start position and
then reduce the arc length to a distance equal to the
diameter of the electrode.
6.2 TAPPING
6.2.1 Point the electrode downwards at an angle of approximately 75 degrees and the
striking end to about 15 mm above the start position on the plate surface.
6.2.2 Lower the electrode on the plate surface.

6.2.3 When a spark appears, withdraw the electrode

quickly to an arc length equal to its diameter.

NOTE: If the electrode welds to the plate, quickly snap the electrode to one side.
If the electrode does not release, switch off the welding machine and detached the
electrode with a cold chisel.

Follow up questions:

1. What method will you use to start an arc?

2. What are the proper procedure/ steps in starting an arc?
3. What are the things that you must consider in starting an arc?
4. Why do we need to follow correct procedure in starting an arc?
5. Why is it necessary to follow the methods in order start an arc?

APPLICATION

The same group will perform striking an arc. In every group, the member will
perform individually, while one of their members is performing an activity the other one
will observe and the 3-member will rate the performer using performance criteria. Note:
the next to perform will be the one who observe to the performer.

EVALUATION / ASSESSMENT
Performance in striking an arc.
In performing striking an arc you should be able to hold the arc for 30 seconds. The arc
length should not be bigger than 4mm at angle of approximately 75 degrees.
 1. Perform the tapping method.
2. Perform the scratching method.
