Difference between swing welding and non-swing welding
Thread Content
As the title suggests, what are the main differences between the two? In what welding situations are they suitable respectively?
Oscillating welding refers to a welding process in which the heat source of the weld moves back and forth in a regular manner across the workpiece during welding. It can be achieved by manual means, machinery, or magnetic fields, among other methods. The key advantage of swing welding is that it results in a wider weld width; this is sometimes a requirement from the perspective of the weld’s appearance. There is not much difference in mechanical properties, as long as the process can pass the relevant evaluations. Standards do not specify whether swing welding should be used or not, but certain standards do set limits on the range of allowable swing widths.
