Questions and Answers

Q: You're setting SMAW parameters and Google leads you to: "how to calculate welding heat input kJ/mm SMAW". The procedure calls for 120 A, 22 V, travel speed 5 mm/s, arc efficiency 0.75. What heat input should you record on the WPS?

Q: You're reviewing a GA weld detail and searching: "interpret ISO 2553 weld symbol arrow side other side". The symbol shows a fillet triangle on the arrow side, size 6, with a dashed reference line. What does this require on the part?

Q: During GMAW you notice excessive spatter after increasing voltage; you're searching "why does higher voltage increase spatter GMAW". All else held constant, what's the correct immediate adjustment?

Q: A weld shows surface cracking hours after completion; you're googling "delayed hydrogen cracking weld symptoms". The joint was high-strength steel, low ambient temperature, and no preheat. Root cause?
