Stringer Bead Motion. The example above is for multipass.
A stringer bead is a straightforward procedure in which you either pull (i.e., “drag”) or push the torch across the joint in a straight line with no or minimal side-to-side movement.
Dragging means the electrode is angled in the “forward” welding direction, leading the puddle. This enables maximum penetration and a robust-looking weld.
