Waviness Of Bead
Waviness Of Bead
−
weld metal that is not parallel and does not cover
joint formed by base metal.
S-0641
Possible Causes
Corrective Actions
Welding wire extends too far out of nozzle.
Be sure welding wire extends not more than 1/2 in. (13 mm) beyond nozzle.

S-0642
Possible Causes
Corrective Actions
Excessive heat input.
Use restraint (clamp) to hold base metal in position.
