Verticle down welding will always have lower penetration and less heat applied to the weld joint. As sheet metal is thinner and can not take excessive heat, verticle down reduces burn-through.
When welding on AC on a TIG welder you have to option to adjust how your arc passes from your torch to your metal and vice versa. This allows you to clawed your puddle clean of contaminants or burn your weld deeper while welding. When set on balanced, the arc equally passes in both directions.
MY question is (WHAT IS DOWNHILL WELDING) The correct term is Down Hand Welding. Most welds in the vertical position are made from bottom to top. Down Hand means welding from the top to bottom. These welds are usually made on thin metal as the heat input is lower, thereby reducing penetration/burn thru.
Vertical up welding is preferred in most instances as better penetration is achieved and the slag does not run down into the arc. Down hand welding is mostly used on thin material so as not to burn thru the metal. Travel speed is usually increased also.
I would use a wire feed MIG, or a oxy-fuel torch. If arc welding, use a low power. It's really easy to burn through exhaust pipes and mufflers.
In welding, "melt through" occurs when excessive heat causes the base metal to be penetrated, resulting in a hole. "Burn through" happens when the heat is so intense that the molten metal actually burns away portions of the base metal, leading to thinning or complete loss of material. Both defects can weaken the weld joint and compromise its integrity.

Welding Goggles are goggles you wear when you are welding something to protect your eyes and around your eyes from sparks and tiny hot metal peices that can burn your eye. They are mainly for safety. Hope I helped@

Oxygen is used in welding to increase the burn rate of the fuel gas, such as acetylene, in the oxy-fuel welding process. The oxygen reacts with the fuel gas, creating a high-temperature flame that is used to melt and join metal together. Additionally, oxygen is used in oxy-fuel cutting to aid in the combustion process, resulting in a clean cut through metal.
Welding pieces of metal is a physical change because the process does not alter the chemical composition of the metal. It involves melting and fusing the metal pieces together without changing their fundamental structure.
Methane has a high flammability risk and relatively low flame temperature compared to other gases like acetylene, which makes it less suitable for gas welding. This can result in poor welding quality, slower welding speeds, and potential safety hazards due to incomplete fusion of the metal. Acetylene is typically favored for gas welding due to its higher flame temperature and versatility for various welding applications.
Classes for welding are to help you learn how to weld and how not to burn yourself. They have books on how to weld and everything to do with it.
While welding may cause a face burn if proper protective equipment is not used, that burn is caused by heat and light from the welding process, not from ozone. Where ozone is released in sufficient quantities, it may cause cough, headache, deep lung irritation and, in the more eggregious cases, pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs)
The type of heat that causes a burn is gas!
