Figure 11

Power Wave AC/DC 1000™ Deposition Rate

Illustrating the ability of Power Wave AC/DC 1000™
technology to significantly increase fillet-welding 
productivity, Figure 11 shows the deposition rate vs.
amperes for 5/32” (4mm) diameter electrode. This 
figure can be used to predict the increased deposit 
rate while maintaining a constant current.
