Weld Diagnosis
Workpiece Heat Control / Weld Penetration
EXCESS PENETRATION OR
BURN-THROUGH
PROPER PENETRATION INADEQUATE PENETRATION
Not hot enough Too hot Ideal heat
How to increase workpiece heat
and increase penetration:
(to weld THICKER workpieces properly)
How to reduce workpiece heat
and limit penetration:
(to weld THINNER workpieces properly)
a. Use MAX setting
b. Weld more slowly c. Use faster wire feed
d. Use shorter stickout a. Use MIN setting
b. Weld more quickly c. Use slower wire feed
d. Use longer stickout
