(Seeking help) How should the welding wire energy be selected?
Thread Content
As the title suggests, I’ve encountered issues related to welding recently. When welding different materials, what should be the appropriate wire energy level? Are there any standards that provide recommendations in this regard? What is the relationship between wire energy selection and the cross-sectional size of the welding material? I searched for days without being able to find the exact source, so I had no choice but to ask for help from the experienced members on the forum
There is no standard providing recommendations for wire energy. The selection of wire energy is related to welding current, voltage, and speed, and is calculated. The relationship with the cross-sectional size of the welding material is that a larger cross-sectional area requires higher current and voltage during welding. The welding speed needs to be a bit faster. Otherwise, the wire energy will be high, resulting in large deformation and high stress as well.
