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.

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.


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.

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.
