Travel Speed - Travel speed is the rate that the gun is moved along the weld joint and is usually 

measured in mm per minute.  Travel speeds can vary depending on conditions and the welders 

skill and is limited to the welders ability to control the weld pool.  Push technique allows faster 

travel speeds than Drag technique.  Gas flow must also correspond with the travel speed, increas-

ing with faster travel speed and decreasing with slower speed.  Travel speed needs to match the 

amperage and will decrease as the material thickness and amperage increase.

Too Slow Travel Speed - A too slow travel speed produces a large weld with lack of penetration 

and fusion.  The energy from the arc dwells on top of the weld pool rather than penetrating the 

base metal.  This produces a wider weld bead with more deposited weld metal per mm than is 

required resulting in a weld deposit of poor quality.

cold lap

lack of fusion

lack of joint penetration

porosity

large wide bead

Too Slow Travel Speed

Correct Travel Speed - The correct travel speed keeps the arc at the leading edge of the weld 

pool allowing the base metal to melt sufficiently to create good penetration, fusion and wetting out 

of the weld pool producing a weld deposit of good quality.

good toe fusion 

good penetration

good side wall fusion

even shaped bead

Correct Travel Speed

spatter

undercut

lack of joint penetration

lack of fusion

porosity

high narrow bead

Too Fast Travel Speed

Too Fast Travel Speed - A too fast travel speed produces too little heat per mm of travel resulting 

in less penetration and reduced weld fusion, the weld bead solidifies very quickly trapping gases 

inside the weld metal causing porosity.  Undercutting of the base metal can also occur and an un-

filled groove in the base metal is created when the travel speed is too fast to allow molten metal to 

flow into the weld crater created by the arc heat.
