Question:Question:
How does welding position influence heat input ?How does welding position influence heat input ?
Answer:Answer:
• Highest heat input usually associated with vertical-up Highest heat input usually associated with vertical-up welding (PF or 3G with uphill progression) because of welding (PF or 3G with uphill progression) because of relatively low travel speedrelatively low travel speed
• Lowest heat input usually associated with vertical-down Lowest heat input usually associated with vertical-down welding (PG or 3G or 5G with downhill progression) because welding (PG or 3G or 5G with downhill progression) because of relatively high-speed travelof relatively high-speed travel
