Practice makes perfect. Sorta like painting a line. You have to watch the result and react accordingly. Too slow and the weld widens out and gets too thick (tall), too fast and it narrows down and gets thinner. Also if you travel too slow the edges roll and trap slag. Travel too fast and you get less penetration and the weld is too thin and can crack or cause undercut. As you weld observe the whole picture, where you are going and where you have been (the weld). This applies to all welding processes.

How you calculate heat input and traveling speed for Gas Metal Arc Welding?
How you calculate heat input and traveling speed for Gas Metal Arc Welding?
Do you go faster or slower when welding uphill?
Travel speed, as it is called, should be the same in all welding positions. Travel speed determines the size of the weld.
What is the correct travel speed in gas tungsten arc welding?
correct travel sppeed
What is useful to calculate an object's average speed when it does not travel?
If it "does not travel", the speed is zero. Not much to calculate there.
How do you calculate welding electrode consumption?
how do you calculate welding electrode consumption
What are the parameters used in shielded metal arc welding?
Arc length, current (amperage,) travel speed, work angle, travel angle.
How can you calculate speed of radar?
Radar emissions are electromagnetic radiation that travel at the speed of light.
Is it easier to calculate speed or average speed?
I'm sure that average speed would be easier to calculate than instantaneous speed. To calculate average speed, just take the time that it takes to travel between two points, and divide that into the distance between the points.
List two ways to reduce excessive penetration in welding?
1 Increase travel speed 2 lower amperage setting.
How do you calculate heat input and traveling speed for gas metal arc welding?
Heat input= voltage x current x 60 \ ipm
What is the use of up hill welding and down hill welding?
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.
How long does it take to travel 18 miles?
Speed is distance over time. Without knowing the speed, we cannot calculate this.
