The 6G position is difficult because it forces the welder to perform almost every other welding technique in a single joint. As the welder moves around the pipe, the puddle dynamics change constantly:
In a 6G test or real-world weld:
Stick welding is the most common method for the fill and cap passes in 6G testing because it works well in out-of-position scenarios.
A failed 6G test means the welder cannot re-test on the same coupon; must weld a new pipe.
While less common for open-root pipe welding than Stick or TIG, Flux Core (FCAW) is used in industrial construction for productivity. In 6G, the welder must have excellent control of the gun angle to ensure the shielding gas covers the puddle and the wire feed doesn't "freeze" the puddle in the overhead position.
