Table 4-6: Welding Rate
TIG Welding is generally regarded as a specialized process that requires operator competency. While many of the
principles outlined in the previous Arc Welding section are applicable a comprehensive outline of the TIG Welding
process is outside the scope of this Operating Manual. For further information please refer to www.tweco.com
or contact Tweco.
4.04 TIG (GTAW) Welding Problems
FAULT
CAUSE
REMEDY
1 Excessive bead build up or
poor penetration or poor
fusion at edges of weld.
Welding current is too
low
Increase weld current and/or faulty joint
preparation.
2 Weld bead too wide and
flat or undercut at edges
of weld or excessive burn
through.
Welding current is too
high
Decrease weld current.
3 Weld bead too small or
insufficient penetration or
ripples in bead are widely
spaced apart.
Travel speed too fast
Reduce travel speed.
4 Weld bead too wide or
excessive bead build up or
excessive penetration in
butt joint.
Travel speed too slow
Increase travel speed.
5 Uneven leg length in fillet
joint
Wrong placement of
filler rod
Re-position filler rod.
