e.g. a 6 fillet weld (a 6 fillet weld has a weld sectional area of 36 mm
2
) and
a wirefeed speed of 20m/min
Wirefeed speed [m/min] x 1.13 x 100
Welding speed [cm/min] =
Weld sectional area [mm
2
]
Calculating the welding speed
This formula only holds good for a wire diameter of 1.2 mm and for unalloyed
and low-alloy steel wires. It takes no account of spattering losses (typically
1 - 2 %) or of geometrical deviations such as root gaps and weld overfill
(typically 10 - 20 % lower speed).
As the bead cross-sections in multi-pass welding are difficult to determine, this
makes the computation of the welding speed a rather complicated affair. A
planimeter or squared graph paper will be found very helpful here. See below
for setting-values for different types of seam, welding positions and seam
thicknesses.

TIG WELDING
VARIANT I
Variant I requires the TP 4-SP remote-control unit and the TIG Set (consisting
of AL 22-S / AL 16-S hand-held welding torch with gas hose, gas pressure
regulator and spare-parts box).
N.B.!
In this variant of TIG welding, the electrode touch-down on the
workpiece causes a short-circuit current of the same size as the pre-set
welding current. Ignition cycles from 10 A upwards invariably result in
damage to the surface of the workpiece and the tip of the tungsten electrode,
and impair the weld-seam quality by leaving tungsten inclusions.
- Ignition of the welding arc is effected by touching down the tungsten
electrode onto the workpiece.
- To interrupt the welding operation, simply lift the torch away from the
workpiece until the arc goes out. In this case, there will be no filling of the
end-crater at reduced current, and thus no gas-shielding of the end-crater.

VARIANT II
Variant II requires the TP 4-SP remote-control unit, the TR 52-1 pedal remote-
control unit, a signal distributor and the TIG Set (AL 22-S / AL 16-S hand-held
welding torch with gas hose, gas pressure regulator and spare-parts box).
Using this combination offers the following advantages:
- Reduction of the welding current at the instant of electrode touch-down,
using the pedal-operated remote-control unit
- Crater-filling is possible, by lowering the current using the pedal remote-
control unit (gradually taking the pressure off the pedal causes the welding
current to drop to approx. 10 A) - optimum gas shielding is assured
- Welding-current limitation by means of welding -current regulator on the
TP 4-SP remote-control unit: On the one hand, the entire pedal travel is
always available for the selected range, yet on the other hand it is not
possible for e.g. a thin tungsten electrode to be overloaded and/or to melt
if the pedal is pushed all the way down to the floor.
