Yes you can weld out of position with globular transfer although it is much harder than one may think since there's a certain technique to use that will limit the amount of spatter deposited also so proper training is required beforehand... With FCAW, less training is necessary... I also noticed he chart but I chose to refer to the parameters Jorge listed in his post and not the parameters in the chart since they weren't all all what is known as short circuit transfer values and instead more in line with globular and depending on the wrie diameter size chosen ,could also be used for spray transfer as well... The values Jorge listed in his post were as mentioned:
"I qualified some WPSs according AWS D1.1:2010 with ASTM A36 base metal, 5/16", no preheat, in positions 2F and 3F with average 200A and 20V. However, considering the technical recommendations found in books for GMAW-S and the real posibility to obtain lack of fusion or penetration, I have opted to limit the WPS to 1.1 the thickness of the qualification test plate (coupon 5/16"; WPS almost 3/8")." He then goes on to say that:
"If I understand you correctly, I could weld thicker base metal if I choose preheating and parameters in the range of "high-energy" short circuit (the right purple zone of the diagram). It appears logical to me and, from my experience, I should verify these new WPSs with mechanical tests (Break test, as stablished in AWS B2.1)."
And this is where I also take issue since those values go from short circuit and then transitioning to globular then into the upper limit of the globular spray transition and then into spray transfer although @ the lower end of spray transfer parameters so I decided to refer to the values Jorge listed in the written post instead since those were more aligned to short circuit trasnfer using that specific wire size diameter.
From my perspective, the only problems I noticed were and no disrespect to Jorge but, was the choice of wording and the language barrier Jorge had to overcome did allude to creating some unintentional confusion in his post which does happen with other folks in here at times also even when both parties have command of their interpretation of the English language depending on what side of the pond they're located... Then again, that's just my observation so I would appreciate not to read too much into it, or confuse it as being offensive in any way because that is NOT my intent here.
Btw, thank you for your kind words Electrode and Happy New Year to you too!
Respectfully,
