too hot
When too much energy is applied during the welding process, this is referred to as “too hot welding.” This often leads to excessive penetration, strong weld reinforcement, or even burn-through. The material structure may also be adversely affected, for example through grain coarsening or increased brittleness. Common causes include excessively high amperage, too low welding speed, or incorrectly chosen parameters.
How to avoid it:
- Reduce welding current or voltage values
- Increase welding speed
- Adjust parameters to suit material and joint design
- Monitor heat input to ensure consistent weld quality
