Weld construction durations
Weld construction durations
(OP)
Hello all,
Does it take much more time to weld say a 6mm fillet versus a 4mm fillet assuming that of course only one pass is used to form each weld.
So say you use a 1/8" rod to form the 1/4" fillet and say use a 5/64" rod to form the 5/32" fillet.
I do not have much actual experience with welding procedures, but it would seem to me to be about the same time - the only main difference is more amperage for the heavier fillet...
thanks

RE: Weld construction durations
I find it strange that the difference in time for a 6mm & an 8mm fillet is 2x. Isn't an 8mm still only one pass with a 4mm (5/32") rod?

This must assume that the 8mm is made of 2 passes with a 3mm rod...
