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.

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.


How do you calculate wire feed speed in MIG welding?

Wire feed speed in MIG welding is calculated by multiplying the welding current by the wire feed rate. This formula helps determine the speed at which the welding wire is fed into the weld pool during the welding process.

What is useful to calculate an object's average speed when it does not travel?

When an object is stationary and does not travel, calculating its average speed is not useful since there is no displacement or time taken to travel. Average speed is typically used to measure how fast an object moves over a period of time, which does not apply to a stationary object.

What provides the joint travel in automatic welding?

In automatic welding, joint travel is primarily provided by a combination of mechanical systems, such as a welding manipulator or robot arm, which precisely moves the welding torch along the joint. These systems are often controlled by programmable logic controllers (PLCs) or computer numerical control (CNC) technology, allowing for accurate and repeatable movement. Additional components like conveyors or track systems may also assist in the travel mechanism, ensuring consistent positioning and speed during the welding process.


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.
